Your Self Concept?

Holly, yes I am. This is my brain. The only time it settles is when I'm home with the cats and no one is bothering me or browsing the thrift store because I find that relaxing. Work environment is horrible for me. My mind plays abuse episodes from my childhood like a reel all while I function normally on the outside.

yes well you know we both had similar abusive childhoods so I understand you... but honey, you're far from being a bad person.. you're one of the nicest most genuine people on this forum..

There's a few people on here who fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time.. you're not one of them !

An honest lady from what I can tell, a victim of the evils of others... who loves animals and cares about others.. .. so don't you dare let the evil deeds of other people make you blame yourself... into thinking you're a bad soul.. because you're far from that 🤗🤗
 
I feel lucky - unambitious, introvert, thrifty (cheap), energetic (adhd), diabetic for 60 years and still able to live in the family home without help (although my daughter organized grocery delivery for this year.)

Here is my moto: I live in my own little world. But its ok, they know me here. by Lauren Myracle

How I see myself is very different than what others see.

I see myself as that punk ass kid who did so many bad things I truly don't deserve what I've accomplished in my life. I feel like a fake.

Just speaking the truth.

My Estranged husband is the top of his field , and superb at what he does, and head hunted by the great and the good.. even if I say so myself of the Lyin' cheatin' piece of s*** ''.... ..but I have to give credit where credit is due... ..but he is full of self doubt. He hides it well from everyone else.. but he always has said to me that he feels like a fake, that someone will ''find him out'' one day... he just doesn't recognise his own abilities are better than most others in his field..
 
I see myself as a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. I came from an abusive home. And when I was young I was outcast because I had crazy red hair and freckles. As I got older the ladies all rejected and neglected me. I'm pretty intelligent, but it seems I always have to prove myself to others. And I don't have the slightest clue how to read people, so I never know what people are thinking. But - I am a survivor.

Kind of a hard one to answer. I am awake, alive, and feeling fine right now. I think that's all I need to see.

I consider myself a POS and a bad person. A thing and something no one really sees as human.

I don't believe that for a moment. And I see you as human, really. An interesting human at that!

I see myself as someone who missed her calling in life. It's only now that I'm older that I realise that I could have done so much more. I was a late developer. My interests didn't surface until I was tied down with the domestic scene.

That's me, kind of. All I ever wanted was the domestic scene. But my life didn't work out that way. If I'd known that, I could have become an archeologist or an astronomer, or a small-town lawyer at the very least.

I look back and see so much failure and ugliness, that I wasn't prepared to admit until very recently. It all seems a waste.
