Insecurities

<< < (2/3) > >>

El the Self Image:
I agree with the vast majority of what you said....

Although, I am a sales man, I pay my rent by being different people at different times and, unfortunately, this skill has leaked heavily into my personal life....

I have friends that, based on my actual personality type, I shouldn't have.... I'm just so good at playing different roles at different times, and I value the company of people so much, that I've never brought myself to say "Hey, I really don't like you, let's not be friends anymore"..... weird huh???

insecurities.... I got a couple of them, but I'm an intrinsic person and when faced with something I'm insecure about, I usually try to beat it down right then and there, the only one I have never gotten the better of is my weight.... still workin on it....

What do you sell?

El the Self Image:
Plumbing....

favorite line when I meet a chick at a club, "What up girl? I slang the best domestic pipe this side of Texas, you better get wit it!"

and most plumbers are fucken dicks, so depending on who I'm talkin to, I gotta change my whole persona around.....

--- Quote from: Matty on December 23, 2008, 06:35:00 AM ---i find a LOT of people i know/have known start to behave differently when getting serious with a girl. it's almost like they can't be themselves 100% so they present themselves differently to different people. now this might just be in public or whatnot but i think men in general have a lot of INSECURITIES ABOUT THEIR OWN CHARACTERS. they are too scared to show their softer side most of the time and have to over compensate by being too soft when around their women.

i believe in being straight up 100% and not having this character shift when around people of the opposite sex or whatever. you should be comfortable with yourself all the time, no major efforts to go one way or the other and conceal your feelings.

for example i have friends who can look me in the eye and tell me how much they love their girl etc and be completely straight about it and their emotions in general. other people have this macho complex and will refer to their girls physical qualities or whatever. i think you have to be comfortable with who you are deep down - that is generally guys biggest insecurity. another thing that links into that is BEING UNSURE about things. just because you don't have all the answers to life does not make you inferior in any way. guys can tend to have problems keeping an open mind. i would link this to insecurities about character and knowing who you are deep down again.

i think men feel pressured by society to know whats what for themselves and form formulate concrete world views from role models or whatever when in today's world its better to keep an open mind, ask questions of things, learn and grow continuously.

anyone agree with any of that?

i agree
plus i believe its the way people are raised by their families and the images we get by others.
for example:
when girls are raised they are told they must be pretty, that its okay to cry, they must express their feelings ktlp
and for boys their dads tell em u gotta be tough, crying is for pussies, .....
so thats why we got complexes. i have em too :P

Chief:
dude you're a retard

most people are more stable when theyre in a relationship, thats the whole point of 'settling down'
