lmao I'd rather stay away from cat shows. I've heard horror stories and there are plenty of cats in shelters and in the streets as it is. But, as far as being confident, it's hard to be confident when you've lived my life. I've been unemployed for 7 years. I've begged in tears for work, I can't afford to move forward. I can't get unemployment, I don't have a car, can't get anywhere. I suffer from depression, hypothyroidism, Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, Post Traumatic Rape Syndrome, several forms of depression, and I live in an area full of rednecks, druggies, heavy drinkers, and woman beaters. It's safer to be single here. But I do agree, confidence helps. It's just hard to get it when there's so much physical and emotional trauma to deal with:) But, there is chocolate in the world...and great artists and photographers...and writers. Like the many we find in the DDs:)

I understand perfectly, but you can move past it.
I've lived a pretty rough life too. Your neighbourhood describes my family.
They are full of rapists and child molesters., and although I was molested by them, I was by others.
My mother ignores all problems and likes to think that everything is okay.
She was abused all her life, and because of it I also suffered.
I didn't receive enough affection as a child and as a result I didn't bond with my mother and because of that, my emotions are really messed up and I find it hard to relate to people most of the time when it comes to basic things.
I've been homeless living in a car, had no Christmas, my education was cut short when I was 13.
I suffered from Agoraphobia and my mother never took me to the doctor. "You're fine" she'd say, "everything's fine." but it never was.

Towards the end, she was starving me until I was underweight and made it really hard to live with her. She ended up kicking me out.

But you know what? I moved passed it all and I am back on my feet. I'm in the right direction. That's why I believe in the power of the human mind. It may be hard, but imagine the reward at the end :)

29 cents won't get me far though :p So I don't see any rewards unless chocolate is involved. But that's only a temporary fix lol There is one good thing about people as damaged as we are. Horribly damaged people create the most beautiful pieces of art, no matter the medium. Because beauty is often bourne from pain.

You have access to the internet though..

and I actually find that offensive. I'm not damaged, I'm human.

I'm human too, doesn't mean my life is perfect though. And I may have internet access but that doesn't equal a job or a career. I also do not own a computer. I just use this one when I am able.

Wow, you're extremely self absorbed..

When you offend someone and they say nicely that you've offended them, you say sorry, not go on about yourself...

Lets not continue this discussion..

I just hope something good comes from this. mikiheart is right when saying that a woman shouldn't value herself, only based in her physical appearance, just as men shouldn't. I appreciate that women are nice, but I appreciate it more when I see the beauty inside.

In the end, the character is more important than the body. I know that even places like this may house people who think that having big-breasts and becoming objects of pleasure will make them acceptable to society, but if you watch past those images, you discover that it's emptiness what goes within them. Everyone may be entitled to their own ways, just as everyone have their own opinions. What are yours, if you think you'll be alone your whole life? Is it fair or even acceptable to be defeated by a pair of breasts, a pack of muscles or a set of curves?

What's the value of a body, without a will to move it? Even a smile makes breasts disposable. A slip makes muscles ridiculous, just like fear destroys the illusion people give.

Don't bother trying. people who give up on themselves, think ugly, and believe they're ugly become ugly.
Confidence is attractive. If you lack it, and believe negative things about yourself, they show through and make your insides ugly as well.

Or at least to me. I hate self absorbed self pitying people who can't take a compliment. Annoys the hell out me.

I once had a girl who fought me with me over the fact that I said she was pretty. I changed the subject, and she continued to say "I'm not pretty!" In my eyes, that made her ugly.
