30 Days of Truths - Day 1

Ok, so I guess most of you have seen the 30 days of truths thing going around, and since I've been in a bit of a blogging funk lately, I decided to join in. I may post 30, I may double them up and post 15... who knows... but here goes!

Day 1 - Something you hate about yourself.

Well, this is off to a bright and shiny start, isn't it? I, like most people, have quite a few qualities that I dislike about myself ranging from attitudinal (yes, I made that word up) issues to physical things. I think mostly, though, I hate that I allow other peoples' actions and emotions to affect me so profoundly.

If I'm with a friend who is in a bad mood, there's a pretty good chance I'll inherit the negativity and be pissy for the rest of the day. It's almost like it happens by osmosis. I need to develop an impermeable membrane that surrounds my entire body and avoid it altogether.

In addition to that, my emotions can be very easily influenced by the actions and/or words of others. If someone says something or does something to me that may not be exactly what I was anticipating, you're probably going to encounter the Bitch in me for days to come.

Why do I let these things affect me? I need to quit it! Any suggestions?

Hope y'all have a great weekend!
