Can we compile them all in the same thread?
Right?! It's been ten years of free advice and I haven't changed one piece of it
Everytime you say you're self absorbed it confuses me because you don't seem that way at all to me. What makes you self absorbed? I know people who I find self absorbed, but I hate talking to or being around them. You seem too loving to be self absorbed. So I know I'm not really understanding what you're saying. Or the understanding that I have isn't in sync with what you're really meaning.I wouldn't have cared big sissy
Blame my dad but that's how I was raised. And when I don't feel awesome, I put on an extra coat of lipstick to remind myself that I am. I don't acknowledge or ignore people who don't think I'm awesome, like I seriously walk around with a "why not me?" mentality. People probably are like wth, is she crazy, she's this/that/whatever but hell I can't see it because I'm so into me. That's why I either don't notice or ignore when people don't like me or talk trash about me (I mean this board is a great example) You can't notice the noise when you're listening to your own happiness.I don't know how to do that. I guess I could link some old threads to the new thread in the relationship forum.Can we compile them all in the same thread?
I am not good at ego stroking at all.Well I'm still doing all those things with a few extra. Yes, it works.
Aww love you too lil sis.quite possible. i get similar advice from both of yallyou guys are the sisters i never had.
Marriage can be hard sometimes, but you have a good head on your shoulder, and are open to improving all the time. @Zaynab is setting the absolute best example for you, and for all of us really. It's good to be reminded of our power as women.
My head would explode if I tried something like that...my nerves are bad on a good day.I'll still probably have it even things settle down a bit. I moved out of state and got married within a week because I'm an overachiever like that
That was a true G move you pulled right there...everything about this is straight up gangsta.
LOL go head granny.Congrats!! My grandmother had 13 kids and STAYED with a new husband after one passed away
Both my now-husband and my mom's boyfriend said the exact same thing the first time they met my granny: "I see why she had 3 husbands...she knows how to treat a man!" They were enamored with her. She stayed married to the one she had the 10th kid by for over 50 years until her death, but I have no doubt she could've snagged herself a new one at age 91 if necessary. 
None of that matters if she doesn't make a man FEEL like a million bucks when he's in her presence. Some people have that knack naturally, and some (like me) have worked to develop it over time. But it can definitely be learned. Many of our grandmothers were taught that skill from a young age, but many modern women are lost because they were taught that their achievements were enough to attract a man.Well I am an overachiever and a Capricorn, if you know any that's just how we areMy head would explode if I tried something like that...my nerves are bad on a good day.
People were "hey what are you doing next week can you come to dinner?" I was like nah, I'll be busy. When DH posted a wedding photo of us people were like ummmm I just saw/talked to you. 
No, that is just you being an overachiever.Well I am an overachiever and a Capricorn, if you know any that's just how we are
I'm the Cappiest of Cappies, but that much change at once would cause a literal nervous breakdown in me. 
Just accept that you're special. For emphasis...It's really about how you make a man FEEL. I cringe when I hear people say, "I didn't know why she's still single! She's beautiful, smart, owns her own business, God-fearing"
OMG... lightbulb moment!It's really about how you make a man FEEL. I cringe when I hear people say, "I didn't know why she's still single! She's beautiful, smart, owns her own business, God-fearing"
