I was just wondering....does anyone else talk to themselves? And I mean full on talking to yourself, at normal volume and whatnot.
Anyway, I was once in a bit of a trying emotional time, and even though my close friends always labelled me the confident one, it was all just a facade. I believed myself a terrible coward, detested how I looked, and never really told anyone how I feel.
I once, though, after arguin with some interent friends, we all sort of got mad at each other. I was speaking in depth with one of them about he was so glad he had found all of us as friends, he was not reallly that annoyed at all of us. He confessed alot as to how he felt and we were there for him when he was down.
Two of my friends of that group and I spent the whole night...just sharing how we felt. All the things we never told anyone. Our deepest insecurities. I told them how I thought I hated myself. And one of them said, to make himself more confident when he was in a similar situation, he talked to himself. I have since taken the practice up, and I must say, I think it really has helped. I find myself keeping my head up in public places, not staring at my feet anymore.
Anyway, I just wanted to share that, as I would go mad without telling someone, these things, even if it is through the internet to people I have never met. Also, I would like to know if it is common? People who know me seem to dismiss me as a bit...out of it and odd because of it. Heheh.
