    As a side note, I now have a One Direction song stuck in my head. A pox on the OP.

    UGH! THIS!

    I dont have this, I have "What Makes YOu Different Makes you Beautiful" by the almighty Backstreet Boys.

    Great post!!

    Appearance: I always get compliments on my eyes and my smile so I try to play those strengths. :)

    Personality: I'm upbeat, positive, and fun to be around. My trainer has told me I am good at "Keep on keeping on." ha!

    I got told I was negative a lot last year but more often I get told I'm positive and upbeat even in the face of adversity.

    Hey, that's really great! REALLY great :)

    Appearance: recent -> "you look tiny/healthy/great" (do not agree with the first, will take healthy, dunno about 'great'); "I love your hair" (I grew it out); since forever -> "you look French" (I'm not French, and am not really sure what that means, but I think it's meant to be positive).

    Personality: "down-to-earth", "laid-back", "easy-going". Which is funny, because I'm really not, with regard to my preferences and personal standards, & I used to be a super high strung perfectionist. But I do listen to people, and don't interfere with them doing what they want. From old friends and family: "nerd", "know-it-all" < that's slowed down since I stopped being so annoying. I guess I would agree that I've mellowed out a lot, with age. I see comedy now, where I used to see tragedy.

    to be honest, last year i came off anti depressants and went through severe withdrawal, my father got diagnosed with terminal cancer, my former best friend abandoned me because she's selfish and my life being hard was too much for her and i broke another toe. . . so what was perceived as negative was actually my tendency towards open honesty about how i was feeling. many can't tell the difference....

    Oh man, I'm sorry! Wow, what a year...hope this one's going better for you and your family.

    Yes, people can be pretty awful about making those kinds of attributions. I can see resilience in you, for sure.

    thanks. i've lost count of the number of times i've had to pick myself up and start over - when you throw yourself into life like i do you get burned pretty big, but you gotta bounce back pretty big too. that means a lot that you said that x

    I'm told my eyes, lips, legs by men/women.

    I like like my eyes the most :-)
