| Message | I am working on becoming an author. The first book I am putting together is a poerty one. I am seriousely lacking in the confidence department. I don’t know how to get past it. I have hidden alot on my intelligence from my friends. So most of them think I am an idiot. Anyone got a suggestion or two to help? Magickandie |

| Message | ’of a lot of people’? I swear, I wasn’t trying to dumb myself down there. |

| Message | No suggestions, but I can relate. I dumb myself down of a lot of people. But some times you just have to stick it to them. An ode to the middle finger, so to speak.
Besides, it’ll keep them on their toes. |

| Message | my friend elise gives off this idot vibe but she’s really really smart. i went out her in 8th and made out in the back of a bus on a field trip. that was fun.
it should be more of a confindence builder to know you are smart. i like knowing that i can kick the shit out of nearly everyone of my friends but they think i’m weak. i get a certain satisfaction from that. so should you. well not that but your similar situation |

| Message | First you have to ask yourself why you do it. Is it to fit it in?
Then (if that’s true) you have gain respect for yourself, self-love. If you pretend to be someone you are not, then who are you? You aren’t anyone. So start from scratch. We’re all in the quest for identity, so instead of making one up for yourself, admit that you don’t know who you are and let the Inner Teacher tell you all you need to know. We go wrong when we have to classify ourselves. So don’t. You know that you are smarter than you act. Focus on that. Try to understand more of WHY you do things, why you hide. You can’t fix the problem until you understand it. So take it slow. Think about the things you say, the things you don’t, the things you lie about, the things you’re passionate about. Your inner self is trying to send you the messages. You just aren’t listening. You’re looking out when you should be looking in. Focus your energy on the WHY. That is the first step after you realize that you need to question. Don’t assume anything. Just clean, open slate. |
