I read most of your post.

And to be honest, none of what these people are saying strike me as ********.

The truth of the matter is if a guy who loves you...he loves you, fantasies are nice, and everyone has them...but it doesn't mean that ONLY what guys like (Or else there would be a loooot of single people out there right now) Not everyone has the same ideal. Just because you think you look bad without makeup doesn't mean who is looking feels the same way.

The same thing goes with talent...9o% of professional people who we think are talented actually aren't talented. They are masters at what they do, but that doesn't make them talented. How many people are born able to play concert piano, or born Olympic champions or born masterful artists? Not very many, and there are many out there. It takes work- a lot of work, sometimes a lifetime. The truth being that no matter what you are trying to master the idea of perfection is ultimately unattainable. Somebody will always be better then you so trying to be the perfect and the best at something will never pan out.

Ultimately, your toughest critic is yourself. If enough people say you are talented...or that you look beautiful, or your writing is good, then you are. At least to other people you are.
