I recently meet someone and was going to ask them to describe themselves in a paragraph. I realized I wasn’t able to do it myself. I also wasn’t sure how they would react. I thought I would ask here first and see how you folks react.

I’ll define paragraph as three to four sentences.

    I like to devalue myself in front of everyone, that is literally part of my personality. No matter how much people try to compliment me, I’ll always call them liars and tell them that I’m actually garbage. Because being proud of not being proud of yourself is something nobody dares to do.

    Ever wonder why I call myself Resol van Lemmy? Type that word backwards and you’ll know why. In fact, my profile picture is actually related to that very result.

    Ok I broke the rule. But still.

      It can be tough to see the positive in a compliment. I get it. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself though.

      More people than you think do what you do. There entire lifestyles based on it.

      I can’t and won’t try to change your mind… again, all I can do is ask you to not be so hard on yourself. One compliment at a time.

      Thank you for sharing.
