[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 450669, member: 6705"] I have moments here and there, but really? Never have been a completely joyful person. Ugly duckling as a child, with short, curly hair, glasses, and gapped teeth - later, braces. As I grew up, I got called flat-chested a lot. Still not huge there, which sometimes bothers me. Mostly not now, but occasionally. I was also LONELY - I went to private school, and my parents weren't exactly rich... And almost none of my school chums lived nearby. My best friend K? Lived next door for 2 years - and then her parents divorced when she was about 5 (and she didn't go to my school either). I was an only child, Mom was an only child, and Dad's family lived 2 states away. I became a bookworm. I'm also outspoken and opinionated (like you didn't know that), and that's not a popular girl thing in high school... I was labeled as easy, though I actually did probably 1/10 of what was said! LOL. As an adult - well, I grew up a loner, so it's hard for me to make friends. The few I have in real life - I trust with my life. And you guys here, because I'm accepted, warts and all. But happy? No. Optimistic? probably. Cynical? Oh, yes. [/QUOTE]
