    If this article is statistically true then I find it inspiring. I wish I could see myself as 5 times more attractive than I am. My ex told me one of the worst things I do to myself is point out my flaws to people, right away, who would have never even noticed had I not chosen to point them out. I took his words to heart. Then recently someone else basically told me the same thing and kind of gently told me that it was a bit of a turn off when I did that.

    People tend to see what you are projecting. When I feel beautiful others mention to me, without me pointing out anything, that I look beautiful that day or I am glowing or whatever. Fortunately most people I know are pretty tactful and do not go around telling me what my flaws are, with the exception of maybe one or two. I have had guys do that to me in order to bring me down a peg in the past. since I was kind of arrogant, and it worked. I still have some self esteem issues which are remnants from the past when I would compare myself to other people and their abilities and strengths. Therapy really did work for me but I still fall back into my old patterns of thought when I am not feeling energized, healthy, or I am feeling ignored. I hate feeling like I am being ignored. :/

    Edit: In the past feeling ignored by someone, who I wanted the attention of, would lead me to some really BAD choices. I have fucked up good relationships because I lost control of my emotions. I am way healthier now FTR.

    “My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.”​ —C.G. Jung
