The vainity bothers me because I want to be genuine and live according to God plan with my life. > You say you want to be genuine, but your vanity bothers you. Maybe you have it for reason, isn't it that everyone has a cross to bear? Maybe, thatīs another way to see it. Itīs good to be sensitive about those things. It would be worse if I was vain and didnīt care about it. > > I feel very different when I am together with friends and when I am alone. I consider myself s social outgoing person. On the other hand when Iīm alone I can be quite philosophical, a side of me that I seldom show to my friends. ( Even if I show the my poems I donīt explain anything). > I used to be like that too, different with friends and when alone. For some reason I don't feel like that anymore, but I'm not sure if it's a good thing. In fact, I think it would be better if there was more of a difference. I'd probably be much more outgoing as a person (I was naturally very much so as a kid) but I've learned to be an introvert. As I've understood, most introverts are happy even though they aren't able to contact such a wide variety of people, I'm not. I was very alone, vhen I was a child ( age 9 -15). I was guite desparate to get a friend, of course that scared everybody away. When I with God help understood that I was lovable even if I didnīt have so many friends in my own age, I started to get friends. > > In my everyday life Iīm surrounded with as many helping people that seldom find the oppurtunity to help others with practical things, somebody else volunters before me and then I think let him/her do it... > Few people (of those who don't know me closely) ask for my help in any matters or even want to have anything to do with me. It bothers me a lot. > > I'd like to think/talk things through too, but I've learned that if I don't decide on the spot what I want, people just dismiss me and opportunities go by. For me itīs not so much about thinking thing through, but instead for example when two persons disagree about something, I can often quickly see thar both are right because both have a good point, at the same time both are wrong because they donīt listen to the good things the other person say. > > Well, I have a lot more to tell but first Iīd like to now if anybody is really interested. > Same here. > Mikko Thank you for your comments Emma
