• Improving your self-esteem?
  

  thanks so much for taking the time to reply!!!
  your suggestions sound indeed much more down to earth than all that affirmations stuff!!!
  I hope that someday I can proudly say that I never stopped learning tho sometimes it’s rather hard to motivate yourself when you’re feeling down already, I get that epecially with exercise which I know usually makes me feel better!!!
  I think I will start to look into activities I could take up during the summer!

• Improving your self-esteem?
  

  sigh that would be great..it’s just sometimes rather hard when you feel your environment is working against you…
  like I’ve heard the whole thing about loving urself before others can love u…

  hmm…I was actually wondering about that too…
  and with all due respect LAZYDAVE it seems so one-dimensional to only know someone over the internet…
  I think I would always feel a little paranoid that the person I’m communicating with is hiding things…but that is just me and I’m prob waay to jaded anyway!
  Not trying to offend anyone here - Just wondering whether internet friendships can actually work without the visual/psychological/instinctive clues we get from actually meeting someone in the flesh??

• I hate families *WARNING: Excessive complaining.
  

  I sooo understand what you feel!! Having been living in another country than the vast majority of my extended family I don’t feel that close to them which only makes their flaws (and greed is a BIG one!) only more visible…
  but cheer up:
  the italian FAMILY would still make u pay blood money…oh and didn’t they like not take non-Italians??
