I totally get it though. When people tell me all my awesome qualities I laugh them off on the inside. I could be the richest man in the world with movie star looks and I would still downgrade something about myself I get it too, I am the same way. That's why I know that if he said that is because he really believes it. But what we see in ourselves is not always the real picture. Hopper, you are nice and you have to love yourself much better. We all have to

That hit home pretty deep Hopper. I can also relate to making myself more ill by my own negative thoughts. I tell my old friends all the time when they ask me what happened to the kid they once knew with so much drive, that I allowed the world to convince me I didn’t belong in it. When you think that long enough without changing that thought process, it does more than consume you. It becomes you.
So in all seriousness, my resolution is to break this trend. To see past all the things I don’t like and maximize the things I do

I might actually try wearing shorts this summer but will have to think of something to do with my leg bag. I could knit you a nice cover?

I hate making NYR in general since it normally ends up being too big for me to wrap my head around and therefore in general unachievable.
More or less it boils down to the following:
- stop caring about what other people think about me ( no idea how to achieve this though)
- do a housekeeping clean up project of all toxic people in my life
- be kinder to myself. Basically have less of a self deprecating tone in self talk.
- use sarcasm less as a defense mechanism
- be less cray cray

I agree with alot of this, except for the sarcasm bit, if that works you then I don't see why that's a problem, Does it rub ppl the wrong way or something?

I'm going to try to make a lot more progress on getting ready to start my family. I'm going to be turning 29 this year, and I want to get started when I'm thirty, so I'd better hurry up!

I thought long and hard about this and figured I had better choose something that is at least probable to attain. So, that being said, and sort of tying in that other thread about our different selves, for my resolution I aim to become organized in my home life. At work I am extremely organized and timely and at home I am a hot mess! My house is clean and to the naked eye looks un-messy, but I have drawers full of unopened mail, boxes full of stuff I will never use again in closets. So, by the end of 2018 I hope to have debulked my belongings and uncluttered my drawers! I am going to do this bit by bit! I have tries this before but I am committed this time!

Re: sarcasm bit Well sometimes i guess it rubs ppl the wrong way. I think what im going for is like sarcasm thats not covering up life issues or something - like a shield, distraction, or otherwise coping mechanism. Its ok to a point to lean on it in those ways, but i think im trying to make myself deal w real shit instead of always sugar coating it - for myself or the outside world. If that makes any sense...

I just thought it would be fun to give an update on my New Years Resolution-I did join Twitter and after today's news and the decision by POTUS to overturn protections to oil drilling off the coast of California-I've gone ballistic and started responding back directly to his Twitter account. I've gained followers and haters too :-0! It's kind of fun!!

- stop caring about what other people think about me ( no idea how to achieve this though) Maybe just having a more critical/rational look at what they think and why they think it might help? I don't think I ever met someone that can truly say they don't care what anyone thinks. Some people can have good reasons to think X or Y thing about you, while others have obviously flawed logic. It's your job to tell the difference and decide when you'll listen and when you'll pass, but I don't think it's beneficial for anyone's personal growth to simply ignore any outside opinions.
