No, I loathe myself. I could list all the reasons why, but, I don't want to crash the site. Suffice to say, I'm simply not a fan of myself.

FitzChivalry said:And yes, I would want to hang around me if I weren't me. (For one thing, I have great taste in music! )
Bono's American Wife said:About 90% of the time, yes. But in all honesty, I have a hard time understanding why people want to hang around with me because I annoy the hell out of myself sometimes
Varitek said:Yeah, but I don't get along with people who are really similar to me
Acrobat Angel said:Like most people i have issues.
I'm trying to be more confident and in group situations i tend to step backwards out of the spotlight because i lack self-assurance- i guess i'm more of an observer and listener than a talker which is beneficial sometimes but i tend to judge people too quickly and i think others may find me unapproachable or uninterested because of it, although once i get to know people I'm friendly, warm and funny. I tend to attach myself to a small group of close friends rather than being the life of the party- i play life too safely.
However I'm a very passionate person- sometimes stubbornly- and will fight for what I believe and the people who i love and value.
Although I have my faults I think that by working on them I'll somehow change, i know dramatic changes just aren't possible because I'm a product of my place and past and i can't suddenly pretend to be something i'm not.
So, do i like myself- of course not. I don't hate myself either. I'm at a happy point in the middle where i know i'm not perfect and i accept it. I'm only 18 and don't yet have the life experiences to come to any sure conclusions about myself, so i won't yet declare my hatred or love for myself... although i hope someday i love and respect myself enough to love someone else for life...
ok that's my rant for the day...
UberBeaver said:Yeah, I guess so. I'm ok with me. I have my moments. But I can be an asshole, and I'm moody. I think I used to be a lot nicer. I guess I got jaded somewhere long the way. I used to emphatize with people, now I feel contempt for many of them. That can't be good. Though, I still do lean towards giving thebenefit of the doubt to many people that probably don't deserve it.
I also lack assertiveness, but I think a lot of that comes from an utter sense of indifference towards most subjects and not a confidence issue. When I want something, I tend to figure out a way to get it. I just haven't wanted anything bad enough to assert myself in quite sometime. I think people end to take advantage sometimes, but again, that's indifference. I'm no alpha male, but I'll fight dirty if I need to. I don't give a fuck.
I'd like to find a career I enjoy. I'm good at what I do, but I'd probably be happier elsewhere. But I don't want to start all over - I like getting paid.
I'd rate me a 78.3%. I think I used to be an 84%. I hope to bring that number back up.

Actually, you've just caused me an epiphany. You know how there's people who you just think 'yeah, they're ok.. good people. not sure why, but there goes one of them'? You're one of them to me. I don't know you, which makes this even harder to explain. I might just stop.
If I had the ability to be around myself, and one of my selves pleasured the other myself, would that be gay or just masturbation?VertigoGal said:would you want to be around yourself...if you had the option?

I think decency tends to "shine through". A lot of people try to highlight it and accentuate it, but you can usually tell that these people are full of shit. Since I'm a shining beacon of Awesome, I think you just feel the decency pour off me. Plus I think the ability to be an idiotic asshole without really ever being mean (except to NSW, but he's a fucking Cock Bagel Douche Bag and he deserves what he gets) probably helps my cause. And I'm humble to boot. And thank you.
