To put it lightly, no.

There is nothing within me of significant value, and it's almost entirely my own fault.

Though I still have pride. I still think of myself as intelligent, thoughtful, open-minded.

Who is the worse person, the one who fails to recognize their flaws, or the one who recognizes them, and is too lazy to change? I say the latter, which is what I am.

I fail to meet my own standards, yet refuse to lower them. And here I am, driveling into an internet forum about it instead of changing. Point in case.

It's an infinite loop of shame!

Why not? gotta love yourself before you can love others.
The order varies from person to person. I've met people who learned to love themselves after falling in love with other people.

Why wouldn't I be? I'm just sorry the rest of you all can't be as awesome as I am.

Except Furburt.

No. I'm happy with who I am.
Taking pride in being something you have no control over is just sad.

Yes!

I just came out to my mother.

Waited way too long to do that. Almost a decade. It was painful to say the least. Only because of the rejection part. That made it a little more difficult. Other than that, everything's been pretty good.
Good on you m8, don't feel bad as well its your mothers problem not yours, she might come around to the idea as well.

As for myself, My struggles have been quite hard and personal which I'm very proud of. I come from a Working class background, my High school had a 25% pass rate and I was the first member of my family to go to University. All this after I was diagnosed with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and myers irlen syndrome aged 10, and told I would never amount to anything, were the education system told my parents to dump me in a special school. My parents kept me in mainstream education with no support and I passed. Went back years later to see the teachers that were still there, they were shocked to say the least. Seeing there faces after they said I would never do well in life Made me feel good. Other problems as well but not going to go into those. I now work as a TA with kids which is very rewarding.
Whoops...............worded it wrong. I meant to say I was afraid of being rejected. Not that I was rejected. She actually got mad at me because I didn't tell her sooner.

Edit: Thank you....................uh........same to you.........don't ever let anything let you down. Keep your chin up.
Ah thats good to know, I think its funny how she got mad at you for not telling her sooner lol. I bet you felt a good bit of relief afterwards I know I would if I was in your situation.

Don't worry about me, I,ve been through things in life people wouldn't even begin to believe and I came through it, you know what they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and its very true, People who know me can't believe how mentally strong I'am or how determined I'am.

It makes me very proud to know I competed with people who have had the best start in life, who had a silver spoon in their mouth and private education etc whereas I started with all the statistics and percentages saying I would fail at everything and I didn't.

There are parts of me that I don't like, but for the most part I am proud of who I am.

I am currently going through such a stage, OP. I'm currently switching from apathetic, lazy asshole to... a normal person with feelings. -_-"

Yeah, I'm cool with how I am.
