I realized something today. The first impression people have of me is nothing like what I truly am. I started to realize that my only true friends are people I have never even met. People who meet me through words verses physical interaction

Hm. I swear a posted a comment here. It must have been lost in cyberspace.

What I said was that people will always judge us by our looks. As human beings it's natural to feel the need to categorize the people we meet. Neatly compartmentalize them into safe little boxes so we can continue with our lives and not worry our pretty little heads about them. It is frustrating being the one that is trying to be forced to fit into a particular stereotype, but we must come to a point in our lives where we become comfortable with who we are in spite of what the world around us thinks.

Easier said than done, I know.

Yeah...these comments get screened until I reply because sometimes people write dumb or mean stuff...

My husband and I were having a long talk about this tonight. It is strange, but no one really has much expectations of me, besides physical, because of how I look...so the bar for other aspects of a person's character are set pretty low for me. I am not complaining of course, but I realize the negative aspect is that for all of my life I have never been really driven to accomplish much...I really have to count on myself for that.

But actually, I have to admit I love to surprise people by being more than they expect, not that it is much, but again the bar for me is pretty low. I am learning to deal with it. I guess.

Unfortunately, most people are judged by their appearance first, without being given the chance to let others know how amazing they really are inside.

sad but very true....for everyone.

I've known people who the general populace wouldn't have considered to be terribly attractive on the outside, but were such beautiful, shining souls... they just never got the chance for anyone to see that.

It all seems to be about the visual.
*sigh*

People like that are ass holes. Lets beat them up.

WHERE ARE YOU?????????

what matters is what you think of yourself. What other people think is really only about themselves. sometimes they themselves dont know why they think what they think, and most of the time people only think things because someone else thought it. How can the thoughts of one matter if their thoughts are prabably not even thier own. Now i'm thinking my thoughts arnt making much sense. Damn, i dont think i'm making sense, but who cares really? (only me)

I understood...you are right :)
