who am i?

[bigsillydan]

I realized that I'm really just trying to figure out who I am. I'm not good at being open to people because how can I be open when I dont even know what I'm about? I need to be more social, that's a must, but I also need to spend time thinking about what I like. Often times I do things because I know it makes others happy. Yeah, I do have fun

don't give up

well, first thing's first: stop beating yourself up, man! i mean, seriously. you're smart and funny, and i saw your longer hair yesterday in the lab--you've got style with that hat! all you seem to be lacking is the confidence. and you'll gain that as you learn to relax about how you think of yourself. there's nothing wrong with being shy, or not liking to talk about yourself. after all, women like confidence. i'm not sure why...maybe because there's this idea that you can't love someone else until you love yourself.

i don't know. i might be overstepping my boundaries by saying all this, but really, you should just take your time, enjoy being single and hanging out with friends, and doing what you like (as you learn just what it is you like). things will fall into place for you. i just know it.

Thanks :) I meant to reply a couple days ago, but completely forgot. I am really hard on myself, you're right.

Nope, you didn't overstep any boundaries, I really appreciate the kind words.

And yeah, I love my hat, but I need more!

Thanks again, take care! :D

no problemo! i'm a firm believer in empowering people. nothing is stopping you but yourself. the important thing is, once you realize that, to be able to get over that realization and learn to have fun.

it takes a long time, believe me, i'm still in the process myself haha. good luck, kid!
