    Bragging about good deeds you've done. Cool, good deeds are awesome! But no need to post it for attention.

    I'm thinking that it depends on the scale of the good deed.....

    Help out an old lady reach a top shelf at the Grocery?
    Leave it alone.

    Donate 3 million dollars for medical equipment in a Children's Hospital?
    Go ahead, put your name on the building.

    but when the check bounces?

    ..... have I told you about the time I gave up my seat on the Subway to the pregnant lady ??

    I said thanks and I AM NOT PREGNANT!😖 geesh insecure much😏

    If you do acquire them through quest or somehow defeating me, they are +20 to wind attack, but lower fire resistance a bit

    Okay, dumb kid story time:

    Once upon a time, I was extremely insecure and liked to blend into the background as much as possible. I was an overweight, unattractive teenager compared to my peers, couldn't wear makeup and hung out in baggy clothes. That is what I became known for (depressed art kid aesthetic sans makeup).

    When I transitioned to college, I decided to throw it all out the window and start fresh since no one at my school knew me as I had moved states to attend. I started dressing like the photo below. Still never embraced makeup (unless glitter counts as makeup), but was very "out there" compared to the average college kid (at the time).

    e1vlz4k9fsss.jpg

    Point is, did I get stared at and a bunch of rude/mean comments? Yep. Did I get people approaching me, talking to me about what I wore and being amazed that I could wear it as "regular" clothing? Also, yep. I wore the clothes like someone would wear makeup. It was my makeup, more or less, only outlandish. But it got people talking, for good or ill. And it taught me that what I was wearing as a security blanket of sorts others thought I was wearing because I was secure in my self-image and just didn't care. And honestly? It did become that way by the end of my four years, but it didn't start out that way.

    What was nice was that it gave people permission, more or less, to approach me, to start a conversation with and engage with me (even if it started off with bad intentions). And in the end? We learned more about one another. I learned more about perception in those four years than I had before.. or since. So many things that you admire might come from a place of insecurity.. and so many things you see as insecurities may not be at all. You really just can't know.

    What's really amusing to me is when you see "your style" become more mainstream. People wearing cat ear headbands like it's totally normal.. meanwhile, I'd been doing it for ages. Things that were seen as weird or unsavory are no longer seen that way (think about tattoos and some body piercings). They're becoming commonplace.

    It's just an interesting bit of observation.

    Sorry, story time over!

    I love this story. <3
    PS - I think you're a beautiful person.

    Saw this topic on another forum, and the answers were fascinating.
    Thoughts?

    From when I'd noticed this discussion on the board, I was hoping that I wouldn't have to broach this subject, only since last Friday <enter> Colourism = insecurity; A term of reference I'd not realised existed until I felt inclined to investigate what it means when someone assumes to invalidate someone's identity (eg unblack), in a conversation.
