Almost done with the second of the MIDTERMS FROM HELL.

In taking a short break to peruse Ye Olde LJ, I discovered a disquieting truth:

Too often, the journals of strangers that I stumble across through the intertwining networks of others are irritating specifically because I see stuff that reminds me of myself.

In this case, a preponderance of verbosity and overuse of flowery language to cover up either a shallowness of character or an abysmally low self-esteem - or, horror of horrors, both.

Pot, this is kettle calling, you have two messages...

_{And yes, I am all-too-painfully aware that this post proves my point. Fucking ouch.}

One of those two...

Does not describe you. You aren't shallow. You are actually one of the least shallow people I know!

I think one of the scariest things i had to come to grip with myself was, that it seems a large portion of people who have low self esteme, who aren't very shallow, fear very greatly that they are as shallow as those incredibly annoying people who... well you know who i mean. But, we are all atleast a little shallow. And i don't think its a horrible thing. [maybe not the best] Its something core about human nature. But i do think truely shallow people never worry nor care if they are shallow, and if they do, they think they absolutly are not.

Good observation - similar to the reasoning that crazy people are the ones who insist the most that they're sane. :)

Exactly, and once you realize your actions have been crazy.. well.. you are at the least for that momment, sane.
