I've never been good with them. It's always been a problem. I always seem to fumble around with them, and frankly, it really leaves me at a loss for them.
It's some sort of mental block or something, that I have never been able to clearly express myself with them. Be it verbally, or well, written or typed, I always seem to send the wrong message to the person on the receiving end. In verbal presentations, essays, or even day-to-day conversations, I always seem to struggle with them. Words, they just never seem to work out for me. Under pressure, I find myself having difficulty expressing myself, and I just start fumbling over words. Half-formed words just spill out, really, that is just plain embarrassing.
On the outside you see a big guy, but on the inside it has always been a little guy. Confidence is one thing that I have always been lacking. But I'm sure many have been able to figure that out. I want to be a confident, strong-willed person. Believe me, I want to. But I just don't know how to. Try speaking out more? Well, sometimes I speak out at the wrong time, I try to be funny, but end up making a complete fool of myself Which is just so silly.
All along I have accepted the fact that well, I'm born different. With a lower jaw that juts out, I was born this way. But then again what I am really feeling, is that this jaw is like a curse. I know, God made me this way, I should accept it. But it just makes me feel different. All this while I was just comforting myself, thinking, "This is just how and who I am." While at the same time, on the inside, I'm thinking "Why can't I just be normal, like everyone else?" I must admit that this sounds quite shallow. I'm overly concerned with a superficial feature of myself which can be corrected through surgery. What about others, who have other hereditary conditions, which is irreversible, at least with current technology? What about their feelings? I have no right at all to complain. No right.
I don't know what led me to say/type out all these stuff. I've never really thought about all this feelings, that is, after I watched that spiderman movie. Not that the movie prompted me to start thinking about all these things, buried deep within the inner recesses of my mind.
I just needed to vent, I guess.
Hey this is the first time I'm reading your blog haha, hmm I've got to say I really can't match all these words to the impression I have of you. To be honest you come to me as a kind-hearted, happy-go-lucky, cheerful bufflord, and I suddenly feel ignorant in some way...
ReplyDeleteBut in my defense, you're a great friend who's so nice to people even if you don't know them well (ie, me.), you're an amazing brother to your sisters (I always wanted an elder brother), and a passionate cook :D
In your post you mentioned that you want to be a confident and strong-willed person, and believe me you are. You're really good with people, and without trying people feel comfortable around you. And c'mon who hasn't tried to be funny and failed miserably haha. Thank you for being my friend, png :DD
