Hmm. That's the way it is for me, most people just look at me and make a judgement. Whatever. Once I figured out how to stop making judgments about myself and others, I stopped caring whether they 'liked' me or not. Even acceptance. I accept myself exactly as I am. I don't need to wear make-up, fucking fix my hair, get plastic surgery... to feel good about myself, I'm fucking good enough

Therefore, I no longer need "Someone Else Esteem".
Whaaaaaa... I went on a weird rant just there. Sorry Tru. You don't need make-up or false eyelashes in order to be accepted. That's all I'm saying, apparently.
Side Note: My entire belief system has been shunned by everyone I know except Zoomie, possible Dave, and my cat. Oh, and my kids- they are young enough to still form new beliefs. (Around here, once people hit 15, they are already stuck believing what others tell them to believe)
