I think I do need to do that L. I need to walk the walk not just talk the talk. But I let my work speak for me. My secret has always been that what I do I do for me. I need to please myself first and foremost. I need to know that I did my very best. Sometimes it isn't enough to suit me. So when I say I don't lie then I can't lie or I'd be a hypocrite and I cannot live with that. I don't sandbag bcause that's cheating and I don't cheat. I don't think I'm hot stuff. Never have. But I do think I'm trustworthy and truthful and I always pay compliments to those I admire. In life I find that is not inherent in many people. As if complimenting others diminishes them in some way. I observe. I opine. I speak up and take whatever hits because of it. I think that's quite weird. The hesitancy or failure to acknowledge the good or great in people. Different strokes. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday to you! :)

I was shy as child. I am still shy as an adult. I am very competitive. Of course, I generally only get into a competition with people I already know well.
Huh Okay well that blows my theory up m2c. Most of the time as a child I wanted nothing more than to be INVISIBLE. As an adult I learned to withdraw to my within which was the same thing to me. Go inside myself where I knew I was safe. I still do that. Withdraw. Different strokes. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday to thee and thine! :)
