This community is such a positive space, and it is so because we make an effort to be kind to one another. What a shame it would be if we failed to apply that lesson even closer to home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-so-you-know#post-522930 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:26:05 +0000 Meredith1953 522930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that we tend to put ourselves down. WE need to know what our talents are and treasure them and our uniqueness and let the other stuff just be "ok". We don't have to be perfect at anything much less everything! We just need to be our authentic selves and that's enough! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-so-you-know#post-522871 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:26:40 +0000 HelenInCanada 522871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*BRAVO!* I'm giving a standing ovation for this sentiment. Demeaning and being unkind to ourselves is NEVER a good thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-so-you-know#post-522847 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:14:48 +0000 Anonymous 522847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cleverly articulated, Mochi. You never disappoint. I, for one, tend to overapologize. I constantly watch myself for that. For me, it is a reflection of my culture and upbringing, rather than my self image.</p> <p>I'm off to check the WIW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-so-you-know#post-522831 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:01:00 +0000 Louise 522831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi you shouldn't even think unkind things about yourself- repeat after me I am a gorgeous woman and I accept that which I cannot change and am at peace with my body x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-so-you-know#post-522804 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:46:42 +0000 Mochi 522804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I posted my latest WIW a little while ago, I included a little remark, somewhat self-deprecating (though expressed in a jokey manner), which I went right back and deleted moments later...it's not like I don't believe it, but I decided I should try and keep away from actively ragging on myself, or at least save it for a day when I'm really low and at least can get some enjoyment out of the melodrama and self-pity, lol. I have to say I do feel very sensitive about this when it comes to others here as well. Even with stuff like photo-taking skills. I always feel like we're (women) too self-critical and way too often apologizing for something. Of course this is generalizing and will not apply to many or even most of us here; I just wanted to put that out there. </p>
