See, I think their are a lot of things about myself that I might change -- I can't think of anything that isn't superficial off the bat but I'm sure there are quite a few -- but admitting to yourself that you want to change how you are can be a self-inflicted chink in your own self-esteem. I'm so used to acting confident and taking control of situations etc. that I have become that way, I guess.

That is, where do you draw the line between acting a certain way in order to be that way ... and just being that way?
