Why is it arrogance?

[Rani G2]

I place a lot value on authenticity and honesty but at the same time trying to keep in mind that certain statements need to be carefully dosed and be placed in a non-hurtful and a respectful manner. I find it very difficult to interact with people who are continously pretentious. I do understand that fear, insecurity can make us humans act in certain ways, and I am no different.

A few weeks ago, two women were talking about selfies, instagram and how hard it is to keep up the good looks. I personally dont understand the standard concept of beaury and I do like my appearence. So, while talking I said that I dont engage in social media because I dont see why it is relevant for me to share or show all the things I am doing with random ( or not so random ppl) people.

The fact that I said that "that I like the way I look" was irritating to them, saying huh sounds a bit arrogant ha?

I said, No...just that I like the way I look.

Having said this.... I felt good...

Not enough people feel good about themselves... and often those who do not, and need constant reassurance by others, try and bring those around them down to their insecure level.

Accept that you function about your self image above them.

I played these games (And still Do) belittling myself saying that I am leds smart meaning also less worth. Small changes to begin with...and I am on my way...

Yup.

If you are secure with who you are and what you look like, you don't have a need to constantly be taking selfies and posting them on the internet, or be posting about every little thing you do. The only reason people do that stuff is to see how many comments or "likes" they can get.

Be proud that you are secure with yourself. You like you for who you are. Those other people? They lack what you already have. I'd pity them.

Standard of beauty?

ACCORDING TO WHOM?

I'm hella low maintenance. My ex loved that about me. He didn't like a woman who was covered in makeup. And he thought I was incredibly hot. So yeah.....if you can be beautiful just being you, then you're miles ahead of the game. All those other women need paint to feel presentable.

Okay Purusha, what was this post for. Only validation or to work out the issues you been dealing with these past 6 months. Beware "small victories".

 

[EveHarrington]

Why beware of small victories?

If she made progress, she made progress.

Eve if you have something to contribute to the OP, Purusha... feel free but get your rabid bull shit off my ass. Don't f*ck with my friends, I already have your ass on ignore. Deal with your own shit and when you have some success please feel free to report back.

I am having lots of success. You have me on ignore so you don’t see my posts.

I’m not following you. I’m responding to threads as I see fit. I’ve responded to a number of threads that have nothing to do with you. I have no idea who your friends are. Perusha? She’s my friend, too. We have exchanged emails in the past. I’m not sure why you are claiming stake to friends. If that’s the game you play, please keep me out of your drama.

@EveHarrington and @The Albatross - take personal issues to PC if you wish to continue that conversation and keep threads on topic please.

 

[The Albatross]

Consider it done. [added in edit] one member's box is full thus the point is moot for the record.
