too*

I understand that. Sometimes it seems strange to me that my world is populated with beautiful people (honestly, literally everyone I know has something about them that I find beautiful) but I have such a rough time finding anything I like about myself. I appreciate your kind words, though.

Thank you for your kindness as well (not quoted here) - I'd just like to agree with the creepy thing. I don't understand why some people are incapable of giving compliments rather than saying things that make them look like some kind of disgusting caveman.

That's actually pretty spot on in general people. When I lost uh.. 20 pounds give or take, I had to buy small clothes. Incidentally, I got into the whole "wearing clothes that fit" thing around the same time, and I've a coworker who is obviously insecure with himself that like to give me grief about looking "gay". I'm not, but it's funny to see the reaction of people who are completely unaware of anything outside of their experience. It's mostly sad, but I mostly end up laughing in the end. After all... I'm "gay"...

I speak from experience that this is true. Now where did I put that dildo...

This is not directed at you, but for other members, in case any other members who saw my response of Lynda Barry to Lil posting a picture of herself in a snazzy sweater. (Which I highly doubt anyone noticed it, but anyway.) Just for the record the Lynda Barry comparison was suppose to be complimentary. And cause they have the same kind of glasses, and would wear the same kinds of sweaters. Lynda Barry is a cartoonist, writer, and lecturer. Her drawings in comics have an Outsider art vibe to it. So Lynda Barry is smart and cool.

i have a weird thing where i have a hard time giving people compliments cause i think it will seem mushy and boring to other people which makes me self-conscious. like i agree with what freebase said about lady--- but i wouldn't have said it for that reason.

I don't remember that post. I just Googled Lynda's name. She looks like she has so many stories to tell. (And her glasses are so cute.)

WTF Dude you ARE a beautiful person. Stop comparing yourself to others and own yourself. Comparing yourself to an average standard is ridiculous. It's only going to lead to self doubt. I'll tell you this now, if Ki didn't already have a claim, you'd be all over my map. And the reason is because I'm into your type (when that type is confident). You're stuck with however you look... but know that looks are most CERTAINLY not everything. The attitude, the confidence in a person, THAT'S what's ultimately attractive.

So, when I see your picture, I imagine a woman that is completely comfortable with herself, totally assured, and that **** is sexy. But when I see you say you're everything opposite, well, I just gotta ask why. You're doing yourself your own disservice. I think you're lovely and you should too.

@roxy
pretty much, that is my weakness. i think it's cause i assume other people are like me cause when i'm around other people complimenting each other i find it boring.
