HEAR ME roar...

I'm not as strong as everyone thinks I am. I talk big, and teach others to be strong... but I'm so weak.

My feelings get hurt very easily. I look in the mirror and only see flaws. I can't stop people from walking all over me because I really don't like confrontations. I cry at everything when no one is looking. I hate myself more than I've ever hated anything.

Everything you think I am is a lie.

everyone say's how strong i am too, but i think thats just how they get to dump everything on me and not feel guilty. one time i stood up for myself when my mother in law took it upon herself to invite 27 people to my home for easter and i said no, that she would have to tell them she stepped over the line and i would not be having easter at my house. i became the b____, funny how that happens when you take the welcome sign off your forehead. good luck.

You see no one is alone is this catagory of life. I have always been the mother hen and i always get looked at like i am a beautiful barbie in which nothing could ever go wrong i am the picture of perfection yet inside i scream and see how ugly i am and why cant i be someone else. Everyone thinks and believes i am a strong and intellectual woman yet inside i feel like a little girl torn and lost in the woods somehow searching for a warm place to rest my weak soul. We are all in this together. I just wish people could be more honest with people and show there vulnerablility without feeling like there is a wolf hiding in each corner to tear you to shreds in efforts for gaining something in the shadows of this place we call society. Anyways, thats my 2 cents and for everyone who reads this i wish them many wonderful experiences and a beautiful life. With Love and true unconditional respect,
Miss Chauteu

try to be the person you need to be. mold youself into the mental and physical person you want to be.

i used to not like myself, until i learned that i control my own fate, and can be the man i need to be.

It might be time you opened up your weaknesses a little bit. It is much easier said than done, I know, but it's the only way I've found to get truly stronger and to truly overcome things rather than just hide them. I admire the fact that you try to help others, and deal with your own troubles, but some things can't be done alone, no matter how strong you are. The way, I see it, you don't have to hold your troubles back or deal with them on your own to be strong. The fact that you choose to live your life is proof enough.

I think everyone at some point hides his or her weakness, and tries to help others to be strong and courageous. My friends come to me with problems, and advice, and turns out, I give pretty good advice, but i have NEVER been in there shoes, or experienced what I was adivising on. And when I give them the 'wrong' advice, they blame me for all their troubles. I mean, I HATE confrontations, but since College, i have come to a point where I can no longer allow people to walk over me, and they will eventually see my flaws. I am who I am, and if people cannot accept that, then its their lost.

I'm exactly like this. Theres a point in life when you cannot get pushed around any longer. If people are mean to you, approach them and tell them to cool it. Don't look at yourself and see only flaws, because you'll never have happiness, and happiness is the only thing that keeps everyone alive! If you do not have respect and dignity for yourself, nobody will give you any respect.
Good luck, you can do it!

I feel the same. I compel others to share their problems but no one knows mine because I keep them to myself. They think I'm strong and tough coz I can take people out and I play rugby. I'm the weakest person alive.

I spared everyone else pain and took it on myself with friends and family. Then, I'd crumble under all of the weight. I cry from being overwhelmed and think if i tell anyone and they ask why, my reason won't be "monumental" or "worthy" of my crying. I never talk back to my parents and rarely disagree with people. If I do disagree I back down to avoid any confrontations. I met a man who saw it all in me and I couldn't hide behind anything anymore. I felt exposed and left to be found out by everyone I had fooled...everyone but him. I'll pray for you tonight because he was my blessing from God. I hope you are given a blessing like that...

I hate myself too... but at least you help other people, and that in itself makes you strong. There is definitely such a thing as both strong and sensitive

You're too thin and too masculine, it doesn't make you fit and strong, it makes you delicate and insecure. Eat until you're satisfied and stop complaining about that inch of flesh, geez, EVERYONE has that it's called skin - besides there's a few people in your life who really need you and would be devastated without you around.
