what have you learned about yourself today?

I don't have a regular routine, which makes me a social retard in a lot of ways.
( don't you hate when that happens? )
On topic:
Today I realized that my candor is intimidating to some and a weakness--to exploit--for others.
*hmmmmmmmmmmm*

I am always allowed to feel that my opinions and thoughts are valid. And I don't have to say something interesting to be able to talk, it's still important for me to say it, because it's me. And that, after all, is what the people who choose to spend their time with me are after. If they wanted an idea instead of a person, I would've run them off a long time ago. People love me, and I deserve it.
What a beautiful revelation. I learned this awhile back and I have been so much happier for it. I wish more people realized when they are being uneccessarily negated by others. If we're constantly questioning the validity of what we say, do, think, believe just because other people tell us we're wrong, weird, stupid, uncool, how can we ever be ourselves and grow as individuals!!? Everyone needs positive reinforcement so that they can mature intellectually, emotionally, and psychologoically. Everyone, surround yourselves with the people who can offer you this! You'll feel so much better about who you are. God I sound like a self help manual. But I guess it doens't matter since it's how I'm choosing to get my point across ;) . I also wanted to add that constructive criticsm and a good humored devils advocate do not count as negating forces. A person who can encourage you and challenge you at the same time is a great person to be around. Now that that's been said...
Nephil and 1024 we seem to be in the same head space in our lives and I'm sure we're not the only ones. I'm just curious how much you think the passive observer, uninvolved feeling has to do with drug use and how much is just a matured outlook that nothing is the end all and be all. I'm a habitual pot smoker and from what I've read I believe you are as well Nephil, and I've noticed recently that the moment I get that unmistakable high feeling, I am gently pulled up and away from my life. I'm a thinker by nature and naturally quite reflective and analytical about everything and it's mother so even when I'm sober I remain suspended slightly above it all. But then again I have this theory that I'm never in a completely sober state anymore because I smoke so often and have done plenty of other drugs to account for a long term head change. Oh goodness I could start another thread btu perhaps another day. Just curious as to what your thoughts were about this. That's all for now folks. Peace.

today and over the past few days Ive felt that I have more to offer the world than I thought, this is due to really never having given myself credit as a person.
I look at my life - Working three jobs, studying, supporting myself and thinking maybe im not such a loser after all.
Another thing i realised is that no one should ever make you feel like you dont deserve what you need/want. Maybe I do deserve the things that I never really thought I could have - #1 Happiness in every aspect of ones life.
This is a great thread !!!!

I've learned that no matter how much wisdom I impart, no matter how good I am at convincing people, sometimes people still do what they want to do... no matter how rediculous it may seem.
 
I learned today that seeing someone overcome and succeed as a result of my coaching and teaching is infinitely more rewarding than experiencing the success myself.
 
There are people out there than genuinely care about me.
No matter how low one gets, when you get back up and dust yourself off, you'll appreciate the sunshine just a little more than you did before.
 
Just today ive learned...
Playing the guitar is possible, just remember when your fingers start hurting to keep playing until they hurt more... (it hurts to type)...
 
I realized, with a close friend's help, that am outwardly a more positive person than I thought I was. It's nice to have someone to point these things out to you, because it's tough to really "see" yourself. I thought I was generally just as gloomy on the outside as I sometimes feel on the inside.
Good to know that I am more of an optimist these days :)
 
that i am "fiesty" and a moron ;)
:D
edit to remove up arrows that i dont know what were pointing to

I have learned over the last couple days that I am constantly letting others insight on how "they" think my life should be actually form the path I follow.
I worry way too much about things that are beyond my control.
I sometimes take little things for granted.
My life really isn't as bad as I have always thought it was.
Most importantly I have come to realize that I did have the power to change all of the things I didn't like about myself all along. I was just to blind to see the strength I have always possessed.

^^^^^^^ Very good reply.
I woke up this morning feeling everything was going great. Right, life can't be that bad.
This is my realization....
"you can't trust your friends, even though you love them the most and I feel like no one understands me any more, I can't believe that someone can stab in the back as fast as a blink of the eye"
 
^ Shit happens hun... sometimes they don't even realize that they are hurting you.
I realized this morning that I'm hung up on a chick... again. This shit sucks.
 
I still throw things sometimes when I get angry,
I still barely trust anyone,
I find it very hard to get close to people at all,
I am a great person however I still have a lot to learn,
I learn stuff everyday and most of the time I realise ive learnt it before at some point.
