As some point i realized perfect wasn't as important as just creating, and making things. if that makes sense. although i'm still really scared of failure.

I found panel 61 to be especially powerful. The outside doesn't always match the inside... very true. Well. I hide behind pretending to be intelligent/intellectual/fashionable/unique/etc.; I pretend to be confident, to be a "leader", to know what the heck I'm doing, and yet, I'm really just fearful of disapproval, and a horrible procrastinator and I have no idea what I'm doing in life, hardly at all. I have a lot of those same fears that you depicted: of not being good enough, of failure... And some part of me wants to tear down the image I've built up and disappoint and anger everyone who expects me to be something, and at the very same time, a part of me is desperate to maintain the mask. I hope this isn't too long. Just the comic I was looking for. I found panel 61 to be especially powerful. The outside doesn’t always match the inside… very true.

When writing is a way to let others in and not to keep them out. I think it’s called a double bind. Heh Heh I love the green monster who is hiding behind the shut door:Do Not Open.

Most people think I'm this hilarous sort who's got it mostly together. I do a good job of masking how I really feel.....daily. Sometimes I get tired of hiding, but I've been doing it so long I'm not sure I can change it. Also, I've also suspected most people wouldnt' like the "real me" anyway. Funny the mind games we play with ourselves. Thanks for the comic! Boy, do I know what you mean about hiding behind masks or maybe that’s behind personas.

Well, I had always wanted to change my height, my weight,my hair color and texture, my boobs, and my butt, because I didn't fit in. I was short, round and pale being raised by skinny, tall and dark. No wonder I wanted to change.

But I like to blame it on being bullied previously by my bigger brother (those bad bullying genes). Plus, I now know so many nice people who at one time took their anger out on siblings... could it just be a "stage"? I’ll admit it now, I used to bully my little brother.

I'm curious, do your episodes pull confessions out of anybody else? (which does imply that I can remember one time when I was about 8, when I did bully somebody. I'm still ashamed about it, because the girl cried. And maybe I did want to see what her reaction would be.

Maybe people want to tell some bad thing they did, even if it was a long time ago, because if they tell then it's behind them.It's over. Maybe that's what Confession for the Catholics is really about--recovering from whatever you did. On the other hand who could possibly forgive me?

Other people think that's crazy, they think my freckles are cute, but I hate them. I have tried all sorts of creams to give me freckle-fee skin, but nothing works. I know they come from my father. I inherited his spots. But I would love to have an even complexion. Oh well, i guess it could be worse, I could be covered in warts! Is that something you inherit? I would change my freckles.
