The further into this structed society I climb,
The less certainty in steps I find,
Increased self-conciousness and decreased perception,
I start to doubt my impression and overall reception,
Do break from the norm of professional mood,
Spirited in the wrong way and childish in attitude,
Or do I come across too contained, with little or no drive,
Cool and quite distant in all that I strive?
The Brothers I thought I reached on first 'chat',
Now feel far away as if I did something to upset that,
It concerns me with sadness as these distances increase,
I feel somehow responsible like I caused the scattering of this peace.

Brilliantly written, but come on.. be nicer to you. I happen to think you rock.
I am confident in my being a pretty good judge of character.
So at the risk of insulting me, I want you to list for me three negative qualities you perceive in yourself, and turn them into how others could possibly perceive them in a positive way.
Please? Turn off the inner critic.
( I know it's free flow writing, and negatives come up... I am not judging, but I hear too much internal judgement going on, Maybe it will be a good exercise?)

Ok pix, that sounds like an interesting way to view this, so here goes...
1) overly emotional (I sulk when things don't go my way)...this could be seen as I care intensely about doing my best.
2) nervous chatterer (when uncomfortable in a situation, I tend to start talking constantly)...this could be seen as gregarious, confident, and outgoing
3) obsessive about formality (when I'm given rules, I can't seem to break them, even if the situation calls for more casual attitudes)...this could be seen as responsible courtesy

Thanks, I feel a lot better, dear pix that's was a good way to think about it...((hugs)) to you
