The LS "Brag about yourself" thread

[bananaboat11]

Hey all -

 

If there's one thing I believe the majority of us have in common.. is we're coming to terms with the fact that we're NOT broken. We're hurt that someone else has a problem and their coping mechanism is to retract & pull away without thinking and rip a comfort away from deep within us. This is why I feel we 'hurt'... when in fact, we should look at ourselves and realize... we're still the same person they fell for. We didn't leave them... we don't have a problem. They clearly do. (Unless YOU, the dumpee were stupid enough to cheat and still be with your dumper... *******. )

 

I feel in society it's not socially acceptable to brag about yourself... no one wants to hear you're better than they are. It is against social norms... and it's understandable. Dumpers eventually feel remorseful for their own problem and 89% of the time, I'd estimate.. come back. I was a dumper in the past (yes, it's true ) and I ended up going back... (and she was scared I'd never talk to her again..). Now we're best friends and she believes even though we're not in a relationship... we're soulmates. I admit... I had a problem.. so I broke it off. That's usually how it goes, but our pride... our egos get the better of us and we cope in MANY, MANY different ways.

 

So here & now... I want YOU, the dumpee.. to realize you are NOT broken. you are an amazing person... and that's why that person was with you in the first place. BRAG ABOUT YOURSELF. What makes you YOU? Tell us how you may change yourself... move forward in life... go back to school... that you are supermodelesque or the next einstein. We are each unique in our own way and attracted to an assortment of qualities in one another. Sometimes it works... sometimes it doesn't, but you learn more about YOU each living, passing, breathing day. Live your life to the fullest and be the confident, beautiful, smart, caring you. Do not let THEIR problems be reflected on you... because that's ANOTHER stupid ****ing coping mechanism THEY, the one with the issue to begin with, cope.

 

And then you finally get over it... and their problem still persists while you've shaken it off... and they come to you looking to REfeed their own egos. They're not worth it. YOU ARE.

 

BRAG! GO! NOW!

I dedicate this POSITIVE self-reflection thread to you guys and I hope this thread works wonders for ALL of us. We truly are better than we believe we are at our low, emotional points... all because of a selfish, stupid person...

Personally, without sounding the biggest arrogant piece of **** on the planet.. I know I'm a great catch. I have 3 passions in life... my career, my lifestyle, and my hobby. My education/academia (career), Fitness/weight lifting/wellness (lifestyle), DJing / Mixing music (hobby). I'm pleasantly attractive, I'm 6'1", 194 lbs w/ ~10% bodyfat. I am smart (trained to be via education).. beginning a PhD track (and being paid for it thanks to a teaching assistantship & research fellowship). I drive a nice car, have my own place (all I pay is rent, utilities are included ). My bank account is definitely not broken (thank g-d)... and I have great IRL friends and a loving family to go home to. I am family oriented and cannot wait to have children one day (granted I find the woman who will love me the way I will love her (with all my heart)).. and I look forward to the future and hopefully it may only bring blessings.

remember, even though you were rejected, there are many MANY wonderful/good/positive qualities about you. And you need to keep those in mind to keep your perspective.

[TuesGirl]

Ok...yes..I too am a great catch. He knows it, his mom knows it, and all of our friends know it.

 

But to follow the KISS principle I will go with this... I have a 33 in inseam and a MA degree. ha! *feeling a little spunky after 2 glasses of wine*

LOL Is this thread serious?? Okay you asked for it..

 

I consider my self a legend, the greatest Amatuer Boxer in the world, soon to be the professionalgreatest boxer in the world. One of the richest young men under the age of 21, I would put myself in the top 10 out of the whole world.

 

Handsome looking, not to brag but Im sooo good looking that I've by mistake took bestfriend and relatives GF, "I didn't even try, next thing I know there writing me or all over me"

 

One of the most smartest men in the world "educationally"..maybe in the top 1 Million, thats impressive seeing that there are 6 trillion people on the planet....

 

To sum it up, Im one of those "Never wrong, know it all guys"

You're welcome, and that's all the "bragging" I need to do. If someone is helped towards healing from my words, then that's all the thanks I'll ever need.
