How? You know some pretty self-absorbed people, buddy. Sure, you tend to speak without thinking sometimes, but I admire that a little-- I'm always terrified I'm going to hurt someone's feelings (asking Becca and Blake not to fight for once) or that I'm going to offend someone (which is hard, in our group).
I always second guess myself, think that if I say/do something someone will disagree or look down on me. There's a lot I don't say because I don't want to feel vulnerable like that.
As far as you not being trusted, you've never given me a reason not to trust you. Unless you've been telling people things and I don't know about it.
You're a good person and I definitely don't see what you think is so terrible about yourself, but if you're unhappy with who you've become, change it. And don't just talk about changing-- actually do it.
Don't start hating yourself, though-- it's not the easiest thing to come back from.
Well... part of me hasn't wanted to change, because I really like a lot of the traits that have come out over the last year or so. What I really want to do is find a middle ground where I speak freely about myself and think before I speak regarding other people! Doesn't sound as hard as I am making it look, does it?
And... I am not one to talk about changing without doing it, believe me.
The trick is to hate things about yourself while still realizing that they are not YOU. I am self-preservative above almost all else. I know these things.
