I'm a little sick.  Came home with lovely memories and a bad cold.  So, keep that in mind.  Hopefully what I put down here will make sense.

I thought about locking this, but honestly, there are people who read here who I want to see this and they wouldn't be able to if I locked it.  I don't think it's sensitive information.

I had a realization today

LOL. Thanks. I wasn't fishing for ego boosts here, but I appreciate it.

Yes, this is all true, but I also think that it's important to value oneself and I have not been doing that.

Also, I find it funny that some people are afraid of you. You are just a wee cuddly teddy bear after all:)

[jelazakazone]

Yes. I think that's true too. I spend so much time stacking myself up to others (and failing -- because I am not them), I'm not spending enough time realizing that I have my own achievements and value.

Me! I say that. Although I think you quite a bit taller than me, I still think of you as wee. Must be your age:) *cuddles*

I think one always sees oneself as plain and less interesting than others. There are always things I admire at other persons and which I would like to be or could do or own. But over this I totally forget that there probably are people out there who have the same thought about me. Everyone has talents but because we're used to them we take them for granted. That's why we don't value them. Other people who only see one from the outside notice them so much easier.

I e.g. experienced you as a very creative person through your fanfiction and quilting and and and... Of course LJ-land is not RL but I'm certain that these parts of one's character are the same, no matter on- or offline.

*nod* Yes, exactly. And also I think we need to step outside ourselves and value ourselves from time to time.

Also, thank you.

You are not uninteresting at all. When we first started to chat I felt that you inspired in very subtle ways and it was a great pleasure talking to you. I wasn't bored. This isn't supposed to be an ego boost just the way I feel about you.

Strange thing is I find myself very interesting. I don't know how others feel about me but it's always been an adventure to observe my own reactions to things and the way I'm thinking.

[jelazakazone]

Oops. I never replied to this.

It's not that I find myself uninteresting. Like you, I can find things to interest myself. I just feel sort of boring. Like the stuff I'm interested in could not possibly be of interest to other people.

*shrug* I'm definitely glad to have found people who find me interesting:D
