I ask you Do you have the courage?

I am me , a bit broken and a bit flawed but I do think I am all the person I will ever be. Whether that is a grown up I am not so sure but I am sometimes! xxxx

Hi raydene...I don't think I do have the courage half the time to stand up and be who I am. I does take much courage. Half of the time I think that standing up for myself and not taking any guff will result in being labeled a "%^tch". What do you think? The only two things which have helped me come out of my shell are the fact that I'm older and that I have a son who depends on me to do the right thing all of the time and to put our best intentions above all else.

I am how I am in terms of personality but not in terms of life achievements, I have fallen short of my own goals unfortunately.

I believe I'm who I really am. I'm happy with who I am, and although I was shy when I was much younger... before I had the kids... I'm not at all afraid of being upfront now. I try to be open and honest with everybody, and if I have something to say which they might not like, then it's fate to the wind, because if they don't like the real me, then that's their problem. I'm open to listening to other peoples worries or opinions and I'm capable of weighing them up with my own, and balancing them out. I'll admit and apologise if I'm wrong, and I detest being lied to. Once I've made a good friend, or partnership though, I will be loyal and stand by them always... once my proven friend, you're always my friend, so to speak. I demand trust and I give trust because of my honesty, openness and loyalty, and I'm a good mediator. That's me in a nutshell, and I like me... I don't make too many enemies, but if somebody lies to me or does me wrong, especially behind my back, then they need to watch out! lol. Brightest Blessings my friend.

I think I know who I am but sometimes I question and doubt it. We have to make too many adjustments in life to actually be ourselves.

Having survived decades of minutes, I believe I have courage in me. The question is courage for what. I have the courage to live on. I have to courage to love. I have the courage to hate. However, I do not have the courage to face failure. So what is courage?

I am myself all the time. I feel at my age it is time to just be myself and if anyone doesn't like who I am then they can bugger off. I found that pretending does not work because you reap what you sow. I offer honesty, compassion and caring. Life it too short to play games.

Hi raydene! Just like you, I am myself at most of the time but the rest of the time, I just retreat to my shell. It is not only due to shyness that i do but also because of the fact that I am not comfortable with some people. God Bless..take care! lovelots..faith

Hi Raydene, that is a good question, most of the time I am me placid, it takes a lot to get me angry, honest but sometimes I am afraid to speak my mind because of the fear of hurting or upsetting someone so instead I try to word things in a suttle manner and still never get the answers I want, but am also too soft with people so I get the other end of the stick at times..littleowl

I do feel I am who I am. I don't try to be someone else. I am a bit shy when it comes to people I don't know, but that is me. so there again I am being me. I have never tried to be a follower. I figure if people don't like me for who I am then that is there lose because I can be a very good friend.

I am the best I can be and I always try to do my best. I dont care what others think of me. I used to, but at the end of the day if they dont like me or dont agree then thats their problem. I work at a disabled sports club at the weekend as a disability sports coach. I look after the little kids. They always have confidence problems, and I'm the big kid that will jump in the ball pool first, or do a silly dance or whatever. It makes them laugh and gets them to join in. I dont care if people laugh at me for it. At the end of the day, I feel that I made those kids feel a little bit better, and that makes me feel excellent!
