The root cause might matter, and in knowing, understanding it, then dealing with it in your own pace.

One thing I have told others, probly, mostly girls/young women, might sound a bit abstract, but not vulgar at all.

First of all I could probly frame my face with my hands and find a dozen or so things wrong, or that I don’t like about me.

I think this might be an OK therapy in private. Find the largest mirror you have, then remove your clothes and stand at the mirror and look at you; not just how you look, but what you look like inside.

No matter anybodies self image issues, we all have at least one thing about us we like, and that’s where to start, in enjoying that feature, mental or physical, nurturing it, showing others, when with others, that you like you, and at some point that transfers to those others.

Being criticized is gonna happen in the best of things even through some acceptance, tolerance, understanding, relate then to jealousy, others doubting you especially if you doubt yourself. Still your greatest asset may be your strength of will, and that should be exercised and made stronger, in spite of others.

At one point, most especially here, I stopped stressing over what others didn’t like about me, or my posts.

I have a couple issues I have whined about, but I’m not in control of them so it’s futile to get angry at myself or even others, for my situation.

I know I was rambling, sorry, but be a little more selfish about you, without being ego inflated. Take more time to like and love you.

Strive, my friend, in battle suit of feline fur
And face life’s rows and blur
Let feline fur eradicate the noise
That you may speak in your true inner voice
To give you ears to hear what’s being said
Behind the words of those lost in themselves.
Did you not say once “how good it could feel,
If this cyber place (or corridor) were real;
But reality would leave ruin” so
take pleasure in allowing the unreal to grow.

1. Set a goal for yourself and attain it. Something big. Swim a river or climb a mountain or learn a new skill. All my life I wanted to learn to fly an airplane–I learned when I was 32 years old. It changed the way I see myself. Although I haven’t flown in years I now know I can set a goal and achieve it.

2. Think of yourself as your own best friend. Learn to love yourself and forgive yourself when you make a mistake. We all make them. Most mistakes are not that big a deal.

3. See criticism as a launch point for self-improvement. If you disagree with the criticism then file it away as another person’s perception. If you agree with it then you need to choose one of two paths. You accept the fault as something you need to live with or you find a way to correct the fault.

4. Always take the good with the bad. There’s plenty of both. Einstein was a genius, but he was absent-minded. Beethoven was a great composer, but died deaf. Poe was a brilliant author and poet, but he was a madman. Nobody is perfect.

It’s hard to be a poet of renown.
To be respected by most of your peers
if some compare your writings to a clown
and question just what lays between your ears.

What if they fail to see beyond the face?
The one you show the public, not the real.
Can you cast blame on what your critic says
if what you hide is hiding what you feel?

Perhaps the mask of mirth has had its day
and now the time for grit and gore has come.
So long, the Merry, Merry Month of May.
Skip straight on to December’s wintry drum.

Misunderstandings may transcend the edit.
It’s not what you have said; it’s how they read it?
