Linking to my other topic, fear is motivation as well I see.

Roxanne - I don't think you really should have to work that hard. You shouldn't have to work yourself to exhaustion like that. You're definitely nice to everyone... but I think the people who's opinions you should care about are the ones you trust. You're nice, and anyone that doesn't accept that should go screw themselves and you need not worry about them.

Grr. wannawritemorebut I can't get my words right. Plus I sound like I'm lecturing. bleh.

Yes, I'm kind of ashamed to admit that a lot of what I do is for acceptance but I guess I don't mind sharing that with you guys.

I do care about the opinions of those I trust the most. Unfortunately, the few people I do trust (i.e. my family and my boyfriend), I'm worried that they don't carry the best opinion of me either. My parents are kind of two ways, at times they're very proud of me, but due to certain mistakes I've made in the past that I can't take back, sometimes they turn on me and make me feel like it's too late. Like no matter what I do or how hard I try, it's never quite good enough for them, especially since I've screwed up so much in the past. As for my boyfriend, its a long story, but lets just say that he rejected me many times before we actually became a couple. He wasn't that good a friend either, and wasn't there for me when I needed him most. He used to treat every one of his other friend much better than the way he treated me... but thats all in the past and he's "changed". Even though we've already been together for over 2 years, sometimes I fear that I'm still not quite good enough for him.

Sometimes I feel really pathetic for feeling this way, but I guess I'm just a really insecure person. I've been through a lot, a lot of things I'm not proud of, and I guess this prevents me from feeling confident or adequate as a daughter, a girlfriend, or a friend.



sidenote wow, this is the most i've ever shared on cb. thanks for creating a "good" topic nas.
