Much ado about self confidence …

To err, with confidence

Writing this episode really tickles my fancy cause recently a testimonial on Friendster sparked off a reply of concern from my faraway sister. But luckily, it’s nothing too big a deal … so here we go …

DY - I still hope that one day, he will be more confident about the way he look as I always said...not every girls will go for Ricky Martin, Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt.

ST - I can't believe my dear kor kor is not so confident with his looks! Well, he is not some handsome beach hunks, but he has a charisma of his own.

(Quotes have been truncated for brevity)

Dude, don’t worry about me … I am never really concerned about my looks & it’s magnetism (or contrary) to ladies. Fact is, I can’t really care too much about what general public say about me (other than work stuff, which I still take with a pinch of salt) and the truth is that I am more concerned about rejection and hurt … this is what has been stopping me from exploring relationships deeper. Will either work on me to be tougher or maybe wait for someone who makes the 1st move (it’s the 21st century after all)

Anyway, it seems like my sister knows me well enough … and thanks DY … my ever supporting friend … don’t worry … I will work on my single & available status, just give it time because finding the right person is also about being in the right place at the right time and most of all, the right person.

Conclusion? Self confidence comes from how well you know yourself, how well you accept yourself and how willing you are to admit to your mistakes & learn from them.

I know myself well enough and while I know my fear of rejection is a factor, I am confident that I can counter it in due time. Everything happens for a good reason.
