I know what I'm good at and I know what areas I suck in. My self-deprecating ways tend to be toward my appearance more than anything.
As with Mal, comments directed toward me as a teenager regarding my appearance and lack of success at anything tend to stick even now, though I know I'm not the ugly timid kid with the crooked teeth and acne any more. I continuously have to work at killing those old misconceptions in my own mind.
It took a lot of work and help to forego the mental trappings of growing up-to understand that, although it's all a part of who I was, it is not the definition of who I am now.
