How Well Do You know Yourself?

By the way, there are no references to appearance: this is all personality based.

Groucho Marx may have have said it best; I wouldn't want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member.

I'm somewhere in between those lists. I try to be better at the second list...sometimes, it's so hard. Working a crown just flusters me, so I don't try anymore. (Believe it or not...I was once thrust into such a role.)

I don't either. I try to live a good clean life and respect others.

Tact, surprisingly I hadn't thought of that one.

I KNOW for a fact:

1. I am not heterosexual
2. I am not uneducated
3. I am not selfish
4. I am not English or American
5. I am not greedy
6. I am not a victim

I know I am:

1. Well travelled
2. Open-minded
3. Kind-hearted to a fault
4. Not perfect
5. Always thinking
6. Never to be underestimated 

lol and here I thought you got to be Queen for a period of time! ;p  Cherry would have been so jealous.

I can identify a lot of these about myself too.

I have spent so much time having to be a certain way for everyone around me that I don't really know who I am right now. I'm still trying to figure that out.

I can't say I know you Mary, but I do know sometimes you have to please yourself: I don't mean being selfish and rude to people, but being aware of what YOUR beliefs are and what YOUR opinions are and what YOUR needs are.

You must never sacrifice yourself for other people or feel you're lesser than others. When you're on your deathbed, you'll only have yourself to answer to and you'll know you either lived your life pleasing others or lived your life so you yourself were happy.

Again, I don't mean throwing your values out the window or being selfish but living for YOU.

alsr is right about this. It is a beginning. I do always encourage people to respect themselves and take care of their inner selves. Our emotional world is very real and needs to be nurtured. A physical makeover is great: but it is our feelings/emotions that shape our world.

Time doesn't stop and we all need to learn to take care of ourselves and never allow anyone to control us and hold us down.

Agreed.

i do that in real life too. gets me in trouble. *grins*

i know i have to be myself but, i don't really know who i am. because of the tourette's i had to spend my life trying to fit inside everyone else's box. i had to please them despite my own needs. i am just now really learning to be me. when i'm not being told i'm a bitch (cuz i hold people accountable for their actions) i am often told i'm sweet. that's all i know.
