Wow.. what a beautiful thought, Srinivas!
I don’t know I’ve a similar disease, to say what I feel in my heart. One day my friend invited me to dinner with a two female friends, and one of them was a stark stranger to me and a hostel mate of my other female friend. Once I saw her (first time) I said, “you look good in the sari”. She took it as an offense and told the other female friend and she in return blasted me saying what business you had to comment on her dress- that to a stranger.
I don’t know, this weakness of mine, helped me to get across people and introduce myself to strangers. Live in new towns and cities!!!
I liked your insights!

I like your post. We are so used to hide our real, authentic selves, that whenever we open up people (unconsiously) notice we are not faking anymore.

Hehe I like the Friends reference. That’s such a great perspective on your unique qualities. But it does require someone to step back a bit from themselves and their own subjectivity to realise it. It’s hard for me to recognise mine. In fact, I usualy try to avoid even thinking about them. Maybe I’ll start to look at them the way you do. I loved what you said about being ‘real’ and how people are drawn to that. Perhaps it’s best to just stop trying to please everyone.

Wonderful post. It’s so true — often the things that we are made fun of are the amazing things that make us unique and beautiful in our own ways. It’s so important to embrace what we don’t like about ourselves. I’ve been in the same position as you — people compliment me all the time on the things I don’t like the most. Interesting how it works out that way, huh!?
