No, I was the self conscious teenager that sat with the foreign exchange students at lunch. Seriously did my Sophomore year at a new school. Prior to that, I had lived in the same school district throughout my educational experience and hadn't needed to question how I fit into the social scene. My role had been set for 10 years. <BR/><BR/>However, because I didn't have an understanding of the 1st definition, I fell prey to the 2nd. I think, while the 2nd and the 3rd have the ability to coexist with the 1st, when we truly know who we are as individuals, we care less about the 2nd and 3rd. Did anyone get that? Who's on first?Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929918203230176674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12156069.post-1134528890634264122005-12-13T19:54:00.000-07:002005-12-13T19:54:00.000-07:00"Why is it that we seem to only mind-read the nega..."Why is it that we seem to only mind-read the negative."

Why is it that we seem to only mind-read the negative. How do you know your co-worker isn't thinking, "How come KaRyn's hair looks so healthy and shiny (that's from the every other day washing) and is always cut in these amazing styles I could never pull off." Because, truly, that is what I'm thinking in my head when I see you.Hey, It's Ansleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389503231486327653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12156069.post-1134206852488048252005-12-10T02:27:00.000-07:002005-12-10T02:27:00.000-07:00In response to your second point: 2.

Socially ill at ease: The self-conscious teenager sat alone during lunch.<BR/>My heart goes out to all those shy teenagers who feel they don't fit in. I'm reminded of a quote I picked up a few years back:<BR/> "Shyness has a strange element of narcissism, a belief that how we look, how we perform, is truly important to other people."<BR/> -André Dubus, Broken Vessels, 1991<BR/>But as cool as that quote is, I think very few people ever get to the point that they truly don't care what others think of their appearance. So worrying about your hair should fall into the category of "so trivial that it doesn't bother you", though, nobody will blame you if it does bother you.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08388979017479608309noreply@blogger.com
