Let me start by saying that you are an extremely attractive woman. By this, I mean much more than just looks. You are intelligent, articulate, outgoing, interesting, etc. I could go on but this is supposed to be a critical assessment.

Let me also clarify my assessment by stating, that I hardly know you. We have hung out a few times and chatted online some. I have/had a crush on you but never remotely pursued it. Maybe my lack of interaction might allow me to be more direct than otherwise.

I feel you are very self-conscious about a number of things. You hide this by being overly outgoing. Couple with this the fact, you like to demean/belittle people to make yourself look better, especially those that you see as a "threat". I have a feeling that you are actually somewhat shy. I also think that when you let someone get close, you allow them to take advantage of you. Therefore, you use words as a defense mechanism to protect yourself. This is not necessarily a bad thing but I also think it will keep those away from you that might actually care about you for who you are. Only those "bad" for you will break through the BS and get close to you.

So my suggestion, is to start being you and not the front you put up to the world. ...then you might find happiness and feel better about yourself.

If you don't know who this is and want to know, just ask.

Very accurate and running along the lined of things I've noticed. One of the reasons I started this was because I've slowly come to realize that I do put other people down. I'm not sure if it's a threatened thing or if it's just because I've grown to think that it's stylish or makes me look better... or if I'm just becoming ore negative. In any case I didn't used to do this, and honestly it bothers me. I was curious if others had noticed this flaw or if I was being paranoid and it wasn't that bad.

Thanks, I'm actually really relieved that this is confirmed and something I can start to work on. :)

I have had a tendency in the past of selecting the wrong people (for me, not commenting on who they were as a person) to be close to at one time or another. I think I've gotten over this with the people I associate with now. My circle of friends is amazing and I honestly feel like I can count on them for anything. Some faces from my past have returned and I'm amazed and delighted that I can interact with them and all the history and bad blood is gone. It's a pretty cool thing when two folks grow up and get past the silly things we did in our past. :)

I think you're right though, I do present a very different face to the world then who I think "I" am. A lot of that is due to the fact that I am shy and incredibly afraid of rejection. Thank you so much though, this reply has REALLY helped me by confirming ways to better myself.

I'm not going to ask who you are, just know that I really appreciate your taking the time to write this. It really means a lot to me. :)
