Do you feel comfortable in your own skin (see details)

Asked by evelyns_pet_zebra (12923points) July 25th, 2009

It has taken me a long time to accept who I am, warts and all. For years I compared myself to other people, and admonished myself for not being as _______ they are. You know: successful, wealthy, happy, healthy, smart etc. Then I realized that the only thing I was ever going to be successful at was being myself. Comparing myself to others would simply be cheating the world of who I am. I don’t mean that in a narcissist way of thinking, but more of in ‘everybody is an individual’ way of thinking and looking at life.

So are you comfortable in your own skin? How long did it take you to get there? If you are not there, what do you think it will take to reach that point in life?
