KidsHappen Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I am working on a self-reflection exercise. I am supposed to compare my perception of self with the perception of friends and family. I have many family members that know me very well and have spent much time with me so that part is easy. However, I have many fewer friendly non-relations who have spent much time with me, know me well and would be able to offer much help. I do spend lots of time here though and I have been here for a long time and share more of true unfiltered self than IRL so I was hoping you ladies could help me out. I am looking for honesty here not just compliments and accolades. Gently pointing out faults and constructive critisim is welcome. Feel free to share negative observations if you have them but try to do so in a positive manner if at all possible. I can handle you are weird and crazy (this I know) but I do have feelings :001_smile:, so I hate your guts and think you are stupid might be a little rough. Personality traits, communication style, knowledge of things I post about, awareness of my limits, ability to disagree or to agree to disagree, consistancy, mood, memory, outlook, anything at all really. Even a line or two about something that you have noticed or that has stood out to you would help. I would like to get as many responses as possible so please respond if you can. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Virginia Dawn Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Here is my perception: Kidshappen is interested in the cause of liberty and justice for all. Kidshappen is hurting deeply, but hides it most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Kidshappen is the kind of person I'd like to know irl. Kidshappen is able to continue to function under stress. Kidshappen is compassionate towards others. (I'm sure there's more, but I need another cuppa first! lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahamamama Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) This is not an accolade, but the first thought that came to my mind -- whenever I read your posts, I think, "She is a good mother and a good wife, one who really thinks about her children and husband and cares deeply for them." HTH in some way. :001_smile: I also think that you communicate directly and clearly. I usually (think I) understand your posts, which I can't say is true for everyone.... LOL! I think you have a sense of humor that helps you get through stressful times. You value your ability to laugh at life, even when it hurts. Finally, I think that I might be positive in my "feelings" and "reflections" about you because I often agree with what you post.... but someone else, who disagrees with you, might feel differently. You know how it's easier to LIKE people who agree with us, because we think, "Oh, I must be right about X, she thinks just the way I do." LOL. So that's probably why I think you are "balanced." Did that make sense? Edited May 2, 2009 by Sahamamama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 I really appreciate the responses I have received so far as they have been very insightful and helpful, a few in a deep, meaningful sort of way. Exactly what I was looking for as I work through this exercise. Keep them coming ladies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
