Being me is a boundless cornucopia of delights.

The way I've phrased it is, "Let's put it this way, I wouldn't want me as a roommate."

Let's get this straight:
I don't dislike me. I think I'm a good person.

Think of it as hanging out with the same person every day. I just get sick of my own schtick.

And you say: "So cut out the schtick."

To which I reply: "I try, but even when I'm not DOING the schtick, I'm thinking it."

Maybe it depends on who you are. I have been told on occasion that I am exhausting to be around. Maybe I'm starting to feel the effects of my own company after almost 35 years?

I like me.
I love me.
I'm just kinda sick of BEING me.

EDIT: Shit!!! I just realized that Obner is not in-network for my mental health coverage!

If this board is any indication, I would've killed you by now.

that made me laugh.

It's called Prozac and Xanax. Look into it.

SSHHHHHHHH!

I have my days. Usually it's when I get sick of being the poor relations in the family. Or when I'm just plain feeling sickly.

Then I look at my husband or my son, or even our kitties and get over it. But yeah sometimes those days suck.

Oh. Okay, then.

You and I have different problems.

Because I do not like me. I definitely do not love me.

My schtick sucks.

Considering your litter of offspring, I think your schtick is pretty effective.

To me, my sadness is everyone/thing else's fault.

I believe this should answer the question: Carved upon my tombstone one day will be these words from the Rickie Lee Jones song "Gravity."

Try to imagine another planet, another sun
Where I don't look like me
And everything I do matters

god yes.

right now, actually.
i like me. quite a bit.
i'm just in a bit of a funk.

(and not the good kinda 'funk' either.)

[assuming you don't want to be evil PT]

I like me. I wanna be a better me. I wanna to be a better person so I can be better to people around me. Influence and experience can make you better if you're a good person to the core. You may be changing and not even know it PT, but your self realization may want more and faster than that which satisfies you.

As far as Obner goes, you're great. As far as you think for yourself and what you want to be, that's up to you, But, I'm guessing odds are in your favor.

It sounds like you want to take a giant leap anew. ?

The other day I became tired of being a perpetual screwup, but I got over it as I ate a bag of Twizzlers while I talked on the phone at work today.

Honestly though... that's true.

Well, I guess I'm not "over" being a screwup, but the Twizzlers were damn yummy and my friend's conversation was aces.

Sorry.

I've never NOT been sick of being me! I've pretty much spent every minute of my life wishing I was someone else. If I could afford the stamp, I'd put this on a postcard and mail it in to PostSecret.

Wow. Thank you.
