Uncomfortable realisations about yourself

591 replies

I've had a couple of these recently, things I've realised about myself that are uncomfortable but at the same time things I wish I'd realised many years earlier.

In particular:

  • there are all of these altruistic things I think I want to do one day but it's all bullshit, I don't actually want to, I just fancy myself the sort of person that would want to if that makes sense.
  • I'm a gossip and I need to stop.


What are yours?

neveradullmoment99 haha, you think? Have you read the thread?
Pp have admitted they would commit murder if they could get away with it....
Anyway I can only assume you do some of the things I would judge so your opinion doesn't particularly matter to me 😂

Serial loner - isolate myself and also sabotage friendships

I dislike racists
I dislike completely & utterly my step children
I love my DS2 because he’s a complete rebel although he makes a very healthy living through very dubious business dealings (he’s 16)
I’m told I’m very attractive & I get hatred from other women because of it. I never encourage it but hate they are so insecure that they see me as a threat. Talk to me - I’m an interesting person
I cry nearly every day about a loss from 20 years ago but won’t admit the weakness in
me although sometimes I wonder if I’ll kill myself about it 1 day
My DP & I have a FWB (male) who I fancy & we booty call every couple of weeks
I don’t fancy my DP
I was vvvv rich 3 years ago - now I’m poor & I hate it
I would die for my children & my best friend
I hate my family- every single one of them
I lie every day about my eating & throw food out so I can’t eat it
I’m ginger not strawberry blonde
I had a tequila at 2pm today before the DSS arrived

Yes, a beautiful beats, I agree with that lady who said you sound dreadful. I read an article about a previously very beautiful woman who lost her looks and came right down a peg or two. It was so sad that she'd based her entire viability on beauty, which then faded, and she'd not even tried to be a good person.

FWIW I wouldn't fare too badly on your criteria, in case you want to write off my views. So I'd be sort of equal to you, but you'd be bitter inside.

In general I am pretty shocked by this thread. Not the I need to be alone types, but the people who feel happy at others misfortune and those who are cruel to others. As an abused child, I had to go thro healing and part of that was becoming a person I valued. I do not suffer with jealousy etc for example as healing would say, get thy backside out there and get it if you want it.

@iwanttobecilliammwife - one thing I think you need to be aware of. Women don’t hate other women for being good looking. I am very lucky to be blessed in the looks department. I also try to be warm, friendly and good fun to be around. I appreciate that sometimes some women are wary of me, but if I sense that I make extra effort. Being attractive is a blessing, not a curse and perhaps you feel women don’t like you coz you’re not actually very nice

I do expensive, impulsive things on a whim and regret them.

I book tickets to shows I like the sound of at the time and have trouble making myself go months later.

In the summer, I bought a ticket to see Sarah Millican next month and I have just advertised it for half the face value on Facebook.

I am on my way to fat camp as I type, as watched a programme about it and had been thinking about a holiday and losing weight, so why not kill two birds with one stone?

What was I thinking?

I am totally judgemental when it comes to armchair life coaches and self-appointed self-help gurus

I have serious body image issues

I always think the worst and most of the time think the world is out to get me. If someone does something I immediately catch on and turn it into my own version and constantly think it's a situation - think it's from my mum being so paranoid

I never donate or give my free time to anything charitable
I've only recently learned loyalty

I judge absolutely everybody it's an awful habit (adults working in level entry jobs or people that purposely do not work)
I do think I'm better than people

I am selfish
If it doesn't affect me I'm not bothered
Everything has to be done on my terms even interacting with people if somebody talks to me when I don't want to be talked to I will be very quiet /not friendly

I cut people off all the time, so frustrating, I've had many best friends that I just stopped/reduced contact. I can almost feel them thinking 'wtf is up with her'

I try and be upbeat, thoughtful, open hearted and industrious but actually

I talk about myself / my experiences too much

I am short tempered

I develop a martyred inner dialogue when I’m tired / stressed etc

I don't like men. I am much harsher with them than I am women.

I have never had a man in my life who hasn't hurt me/abused me/left me so it stems from that.

I enjoy gossip

I prefer animals to humans

I feel very resentful that my parents have a lot of money that they sit on and never spend and I'm a struggling single parent in debt.

I sometimes wish my exh would drop dead.

I judge people who have never had a job and go from school to being a parent.

I constantly cut people off for no fucking reason and dunno why. I spent last year in college and was in a group of girlfriends, we'd go for lunch together, on nights out, I

I didn't return to college this year and didn't even bother to text them to say goodbye :S completely ignored any interaction

Dunno what's wrong with me,
Similarly, I worked for a small family business for 2 years. I left in February and didn't ever come in to say hello or even have a chat with the people that should be my friends... I can sense they think wtf.. shows a lack of loyalty and selfishness

something2say I need to add to my list, I also judge people who can't get my username correct even though it's written in black and white.....
I am totally at peace with my looks fading, what makes you think it will knock me down a leg or two? In fact that is an awful thing to think for someone so clearly self-righteous as you 😂
