I really, really like the question. I'm not sure if it's normal but I do think about what I think about myself, although I've never looked at it in the way your question does. It's a really good way of putting it. It's easier to judge other people than to judge ourselves, so thinking about ourselves as someone who we could meet and judge just like anyone else interests me. I always wonder how I come across to other people. It's really strange to me that to others I'm just another person, just like how they are to me. I'm not sure if I'm wording this right or in a way which makes sense, but this sort of thing fascinates me.:)
And sorry if I didn't read it in the way you intended it. When I was answering it, I did feel like I might be answering it in the wrong way. I do love the question, though. In fact, I like it so much that I just favourited it;).
You read it correctly and I'm glad you did. It made me think a lot about my own self image. I know I can be insecure at times and I am my own worst critic. I am very cruel to myself but I would never treat another individual the way I treat myself. I saw the question posted elsewhere and it made me notice that I am too hard on myself sometimes. While I appreciate honesty from my friends they do not judge me on the same things I judge myself on. I don't think I would tolerate judgmental me. But truthfully, most people never see this side of me. I won't let them for fear of them agreeing with me. But the more you think those horrible things about yourself, the more true they feel. So hopefully replacing them with positive thoughts will work the same way.
Oh, that's good then:). I'm glad I didn't misinterpret it.
I can definitely see where you're coming from and I'm the same. Certain parts of what you've said sound identical to me. And I think a lot of people are hard on themselves. Like they say, "we are our own worst critic".
It's a little bit weird to me though, because although I love spending time with my friends, I also really love being by myself. I know some people who can't be happy in their own company. It just seems a bit funny to me that you can like yourself yet hate being alone, and vice versa. I know the two aren't the same thing, but still.
Also, and I'm sorry but I'm really curious, do I know who you are:)? Feel free to ignore the question, just my curiosity getting the better of me, as per usual:P.
If a friend told you...

Thanks Bananaface! I'm glad you like the question. Although I don't think everyone is seeing it the way I intended. Oh well.
