Am I the only one who really despises that phrase?
I used to try living up to it, don't get me wrong... But nowadays, I just think it's complete b/s. There are things I like about myself and wouldn't change for anything, but there are also a few things that I just can't stand about myself, but they're far too difficult for me to change. Hearing that phrase just seems to give me this idea that my mental health and self-esteem needs to be 100% perfect in order for anyone to even get along with me. I find that b/s, too, because I've come across plenty of people who I find have more mental health and self-esteem issues than me, yet they seem to have more people who care for them than I do.
Thoughts?
