Umm… Now what? Overcoming the Quarter-life Crisis |
November 13th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
I wish I was a nicer person than I am.
I try every day to overcome things that have scarred me in the past, but it’s very difficult for me. I worry that people think I am cold and/or unfeeling or not interested in friendship, but it’s only a learned behavior . . . an instinctual response to things I’ve experienced that people have no idea about.
November 13th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
This outside? This valley girl voice? This smile on my face? It’s all just a little tiny dabble of what’s inside. I’ve been through so much and come so far and people often just think I’m some 24 year old young kid who’s never seen anything.
I understand so much more than I’m given credit for.
November 13th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
…I am not as nice as people think!
November 13th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
i’m a lot more sensitive then you think.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
I can be trusted to do things right the first time. Give me some more credit.
This is directed to my superior at work who must take over every project of mine that he oversees. Sigh.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
That I’ve got a brain that’s at least six years ahead of my actual age. So, if you talk to me like I fit the stereotype for my age, I stop listening immediately because you aren’t paying attention to what’s actually going on. Don’t talk to me like I don’t understand.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
I’m shy, not a stuck up snob.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
. . . it might be worth giving me a chance - or even a second chance…
November 13th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
…that I’m not just your everyday nice girl. I’m badass and a force to be reckoned with!
November 13th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
That I really am this person, not eh one you’ve made me up to be in your head
November 13th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
That I’m a lot more interesting than first impressions might make you think.
November 13th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
That am a very interesting person than my appearance gives off
November 13th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
My life hasn’t been as happy go lucky as it may seem.
November 13th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
I’m OK with being alone.
November 13th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
that im a lady in the street but a freak in the bed.
November 13th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
im kidding.
mostly.
what i wish people would realize about me….
that you can only begin to know how much i worry about things. worry is constantly with me like a bad haircut that just takes seemingly forever to grow out of.
November 13th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
I’d rather them not rely on me for anything.
November 13th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
The one thing I wish people would realize about me is that I’m not only what they THINK I am. I am so much more. They only need to get to know me.
November 13th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
That I’m more than just the person you see at work.
November 13th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
I work a lot harder than you realize.
(and I don’t mean just in terms of my job and school)
November 13th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
That I’m not happy doing all of the things they’re jealous of.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
i find it a lot easier to take on other people’s problems than to deal with my own…
November 13th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
That I’m different from everyone else. I’m not the stereotype you make me into being.
November 14th, 2008 at 1:20 am
that underneath the confident exterior, I’m just wanting to be accepted and loved.
November 14th, 2008 at 1:41 am
I’m emotional but I just don’t show it.
November 14th, 2008 at 1:58 am
I really AM excited. It just seems like I’m not because I’m, how you say? Demure.
November 14th, 2008 at 4:08 am
I’m WORTH getting to know and I’m sorry if I don’t look or act the way a perfect girl is supposed to, but just give me a chance. I’m lovely inside (or so my parents tell me).
November 14th, 2008 at 4:09 am
…that I’m lonely
November 14th, 2008 at 5:00 am
I’m not glaring at you, and I can actually be quite a nice person.
November 14th, 2008 at 9:46 am
that skinny girls have fat days too.
November 14th, 2008 at 10:45 am
a lot of the time it hurts to put out as much effort as I do, but I want to help make my friends’ lives better so I keep at it.
November 14th, 2008 at 11:08 am
That I hate being known as the “shy girl” after working so hard to overcome those past insecurities. Please give me a chance to show you that I’m different now.
November 14th, 2008 at 11:28 am
This sounds like a question they ask you on eHarmony (yes I know from personal experience, but those dang commercials got to me! Yeah, that only lasted a month and No, I won’t be starring in my own commercial) But anyway, I hate that question. I can’t even remember what I put. Some BS probably because anything I hide from people (like high anxiety levels and procrastinating) I surely wouldn’t advertise on a dating site.
November 14th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
being a girl that everyone flirts with doesn’t make me a girl that everyone falls in love with. Every time I hear the sentence “Why aren’t you dating?” I feel like someone’s just punchd me in the face.
November 14th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
I’m too scared to admit any of my secrets… because I’m that ashamed.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:48 am
that even the optimistic/bubbly/happy girl has days she feels like SHIT and just wants to lay in bed and cry for a little bit. sometimes i think it’s even a little harder for those of us who are optimistic/bubbly/happy to get over our “bad” days because we are a little (lot) resentful of the fact that people expect us to NEVER HAVE A BAD DAY.
ahem.
it’s my pet peeve, if you couldn’t tell.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:47 am
just because I’m quiet sometimes doesn’t mean I’m not an interesting person
November 18th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
that the reason why I don’t talk to you isn’t because I’m a snob. I just don’t want you to judge my words and talk about me behind my back like you do everyone else.
November 20th, 2008 at 12:54 am
[...] Remember last week when I asked you to tell me what’s one thing you wished people would realize about you? [...]
