I didn't think I was being hard on myself (for once). Maybe crappy is an exaggeration. I also want really thinking about this thread in particular. There seem to be a few of you who enjoy participating in the discussion. In other threads thought it seems my input is not acknowledged. It's probably just me, but it feels that way sometimes. That's probably why I prefer taking in person with people. That and text doesn't convey the bouncy energy I typically speak with.
Thank you for the compliments. I am coming to grips with being pretty. My brain is starting to accept it, but sometimes I just don't see it. It still staggers me that I can be attractive even though I am still almost 220 lbs.
@ Amberwaves: It is just human nature that we are drawn to communicate and interface with certain ones that we feel compatible with and have a connection with. I feel that way about you and quite a few others on here... so if I see threads that have those kinds of members on them and with subjects that fit my personality, I am there posting replies and getting involved.
I do post and try to participate in other threads that for whatever reason I do not get a lot of interaction with.... it could be that my life experience and my transition experience doesn't click with some others, and that is OK... or perhaps they don't like my thoughts and replies.... and perhaps they don't like my picture. In real life we can be attracted to someone that another may not find attractive... that is the way it has always been... human nature.
All of this is exactly the same as goes on in real life... there are those that we don't go out of our way to socialize with and there are others that we absolutely like to be with often.
Please don't read too deeply into the lack of responses in other threads ... spend more of your posting effort in areas that you feel a connection with.... subject, topic, members that participate, reply content, etc. .... again, just like real life associations.
Yes, please come to grips with considering yourself pretty.... you really are.
Hugs,
Danielle
