I Triple Dog Dare You! [Warning: Don't open. ]

[Ox Blood]

Curiosity got the best of you, huh?


It's too late to turn back now.


All of these self-defeating threads and comments from the wonderful people on this forum spawned a brilliant master plan.


You have no choice.

I will hunt you down with a three-pronged stick until you cave!

Hey, it's not my fault you clicked on this thread.

The ultimate dare to everyone here at ALL. . .








I Triple Dog Dare You to find FIFTY things you like about yourself. Yes, fifty. 50. Cincuenta. Cinquante. ötven. uinquaginta.



You clicked on this thread on your own free-will

You can't escape now.

Don't think you can possibly handle fifty?

I offer you mercy...

Allow me to re-direct you to a less-intimidating challenge:

Once A Day Challenge


And remember... I have a three-pronged stick.

[Ox Blood]

I spare you, Eve, from my poke of torture.

But for others who have ventured into this thread. . .

I will find you.

>: )

 

[SophiaGrace]

lol.

I've been relatively free from depreciating comments lately....

Come at me bro (sis?) in a few months...

 

[thenameIwanthasgone]

The most daring thing you can do is say hello to people. Be very careful because you might be vapourized

 

[Ox Blood]

Can't ask you guys to do something I wouldn't do myself...

So, I started my own list of things I am proud of/like about myself:

The inspiration behind this challenge is from my senior year in high school...
My English teacher, whom I still admire, asked the class to write "50 Things You Like About Yourself".
At first, I thought it was a joke. But she wasn't kidding -- we had to do it or we didn't receive our diplomas.
It was probably one of the hardest challenges for me ... ever.

Naturally, I bullshitted the entire thing. I regret it.

Insecurities and low self-esteem is a common theme on A Lonely Life.

If you've read any of my former posts, self-confidence has been one of my biggest roadblocks.
Now I am beginning to see just how detrimental self-defeat can be. You become your very own worst enemy.
Instead of propelling forward, you become caught in a cycle of self-hate.

So how do you build self-confidence? Practice makes perfect.

Hope to see more good things about you all of you
