Are you comfortable in your own skin, so to speak? Do you basically never feel self-concious in your daily interactions with people?
I think I might not really be that comfortable with myself, yet, at this point in my life. I try to be...but I also notice that I find myself worrying about whether someone will like me if I say "this" or "that"...and even though I know that you can't please everyone all the time, I find myself making apologies for myself when I probably shouldn't. For example, if I'm about to express a strong opinion that I have (and I'm face-to-face with people), a lot of times I'll preface it with "I'm sorry to say this, but..." or "I hate to say this, but..." or "Sorry, but...". Also I never, ever criticize anyone in real life, ever. In my head, yes, but I never point out that what they're doing isn't right, or that they have a hole in their shirt, or ANYTHING. Even when they're definitely, factually misinformed about something and they're spouting off at the mouth about it, I just smile and say nothing, or pretend that I believe them just to humor them. It's weird. I don't know if I'm being overly tactful, or fake. I'm not trying to be fake, in fact I always am honest if I'm *asked* what I think about something (but still, tactful)...it's just that I never offer my unbridled, unedited, non-tactful opinion about anything or anyone, in real life. Hmmm. lol. I just felt the need to vent about my own damn self, I don't know. lol.

Hi guys, now I need some practical hints and tips on how to "disengage" from a relationship. Mr. Virgo returns from his country back home after a month next week and it is my plan to leave him - he has hurt me much. Anyway, I have done a few of the usual
Hey, just to introduce a new topic. Has anyone used those things called exercise balls? I am thinking of getting one to replace my arm chair as they (the balls) are good for core strength. I am looking forward to it. Does anyone have any experiences w
How far do you go for love? It is most important not to lose your self-respect but how do you know where that line is? Or should you just be honest and leave it at that?
How far do you go for love? If somebody does not recripicate straight away or answer your message when you say you like them should you persue it? If they don't answer does it mean they don't like you and that they want to spare your feelings? Or does
Hi all, I'm recovering from the very worst flu I've ever had in my entire life. It turns out the government or whoever wrongly predicted which strain of flu to immunize the population against and I got the horrific stomach flu that makes you want to die
