What is wrong with who I am?
For the past hour and a half I listened to my friend tell me what was wrong with me. She said, "People think that you are stuck up. They always ask me 'what is wrong with her?' And I don't really know what to say.
So I asked her what are some of the things that I need to change. She says that I am not approachable, and that I will never get a husband that way, because I don't keep my mind open when it comes to getting to know the quiet guy in the corner.
I say that I shouldn't have to change who I am. I am comfortable in my skin. Why should I have to morph into something that I will not be comfortable in? However I will take the valid points into consideration. If I need to learn tact, I am willing to do it. If I look at people crazy, I will learn to discontinue the screw face.
But I WILL NOT under any circumstance change who I am. I like me. My friends like me. So those "people" can take their opinion and shove it; because I have friends, and I don't need new ones. And if my husband never gets to meet me because he is passing judgment on me, good, cause I never wanted to be married to him anyway!

Girl, at this point in life it's too late to try and re-invent yourself to make other people happy. At the end of the day, you're the only one (besides your mama) who's truly concerned about your happiness. When it's your happiness weighed against someone else's, trust that nature's instinct will make that person's first priority themselves, so why not stay the person you are and who you're comfortable being??? It's takes some people a lifetime of reinventing themselves before they finally get comfortable with who they are and you've managed to master it in only twenty-something years! So kudos to you girl, take a martini and enjoy who you are!
