I usually have very good self-esteem. I've always sympathized with people who don't have it, but never really been able to empathize with it. If someone thought they were ugly, or fat, or whatever, to me it was obvious that they weren't, so why wasn't it obvious to them? I just didn't get it.
Kind of strange now. I've hit a bit of a low point, and to me, it's obvious that I'm all these negative things that I see when I look at myself, so why isn't it obvious to them? Now I really don't get it.
Brad told me today that I "always put too much emphasis on looks" and that's "usually the problem." I beg to differ...I don't think I've ever put ANY emphasis on looks as far as anyone was concerned. I don't judge people based on their looks, and I never really cared too much what I looked like.
Except now I'm in a rough patch, and suddenly I'm shallow. So sorry.
Is it being shallow if I still think everyone else is beautiful but me?
