Being impulsive.

[k_crow]

Well, I do tend to be rather introspective, but I'm not often comfortable with asking other people what they think of me. *wry smile* More often than not, because it simply doesn't occur to me that I can.

I know some of you probably don't feel you know me all that well. What I'm looking for, inspired by dreamingclaw's journal, is input. Doesn't matter if it's biased by not enough information or too much.

What are the three things you like most about me? What are the three things you like least? Honesty is strongly requested. These are things I will ponder, but will not hold against anyone. If you're more comfortable commenting anonymously, that's cool too.

Since I only know you from LJ, these are just my thoughts.

What I like:

Your caring, kind, loving personality
Your ability to love even when someone is being mean to you
Your understanding of others different from yourself

Not so hot stuff

Your insecurity esp about your looks
Your fear of being alone
Your damn allergies

Now, would you please be so kind as to return the favor with me?

Re:

Heh. Amen and amen about the allergies.

Now, would you please be so kind as to return the favor with me?

Yes'm. ;)

All standard waivers apply, like how I don't know you very well, but sometimes surface impressions can be interesting too.

What are the three things you like most about me?
You seem to be: (1) Insightful, (2) thoughtful and (3) kind

What are the three things you like least?
You seem to be (1) too hard on yourself (2) thinking others are more critical of you than they actually are (3) allow others to hurt you, who don't deserve that much consideration (I do this too, I'm thinking of my Dad, and I seem to remember reading something about being made to feel guilty by your family etc. from a long time ago. If I'm remembering wrong, disregard that one)

Re:

I'm not sure exactly which thing about being made to feel guilty by my family you're thinking of, but yeah, it fits.

I have to say, for not knowing me very well, all three of the "like least"s are things I tend to do a lot. Definitely food for thought, thank you. :)

The positive:

Your openness, your warmth and willingness to engage with people.
Your sense of style.

The negative:

The clouds of angst that sometimes seem to surround you. (I don't think life has to be quite that complicated.)

I'm lame -- three total.

[k-crow.livejournal.com]

*smile* Perhaps it doesn't need to be, but thus far I haven't tried to make my life less complicated. The opposite really. That said, yeah, less angsting would be a good thing. Thank you. :)

Not lame, just not having a lot to say. My sense of style... *grin* I must say, that's one of the last things I would've expected to hear as a positive. Again, thank you.

+ your ability to see the other persons side, even when they have hurt you.
+ your willingness to explore yourself
+ your love of and willingness to help others

- you don't give yourself enough credit
- you will tend to discount your own feelings if you can understand the other persons side
- you are scared to ask for help

Hope to see you tonight darlin'

More good food for thought. Thank you. :)

So long as I don't start feeling a lot worse in the next few hours, I'll be there.

Hmmmm...

In the first part:
1) Your caring and compassion
2) Your power and potential
3) Your service to Naamah

In the second part:
1) How hard you are on yourself
2) Your fears of the unknown
3) Your inability to get beyond those fears

As part of this you should consider posting the 3 things you like most and least about yourself.

I don't know why your replies aren't getting forwarded as email. That said... #3 on the positives hit me very hard. In exactly what way, I don't know that I can articulate right now, but that's something I need to go think about some more. *crooked smile* Saw another part of why that book hit me so hard, didn't you?

As part of this you should consider posting the 3 things you like most and least about yourself.

I'll consider it. Probably on a different day, as my mind's abuzz with everyone else's comments right now.

My answer to this ended up being long and rambly enough that I emailed it.

Having only 'met' you once, but still considering you family:

Likes:
1) Your understanding of others
2) Your ability to see all sides in personal matters, even when they hurt you
3) The supportiveness you show those you love

Dislikes: (Hum, these are much, much harder)
1) Your insecurity about yourself
2) You sometimes don't 'stand up' for yourself when you should
3) Sometimes you are too 'polite' (grin)

Re:

[k-crow.livejournal.com]

*grin* All true. Though believe me, I"m less 'polite' when it's uncalled for than I used to be. Still working on that one and the standing up for myself bit though. :) Thanks!
