My body

If I had to say what my biggest issue is I would say it is insecurity.

It tends to poison relationships, and my confidence in a variety of social settings. I wish I could feel more positively about myself, but instead I compare and judge, and find myself lacking.

Does anyone else obsess about their own flaws?
I assert that I am a feminist, a strong woman who is not defined by her appearance, yet I am my harshest critic. I am always in need of losing that elusive 5-10 pounds.
Why am I not disgusted by my own vanity, and compelled to think about more important things?

rant # 1

Ok I admit it. I created this blog to rant.
Is that a bad thing?

The back (read: boring story)

I am in a relationship. I am in love. This has being going on for over a year. Before that (right before, cough, cough), I was in a relationship that lasted almost 3 years. I am now realizing how similar both the men in my life have been. fyi: I am 23. Their similarities, are freaking me out. More importantly, I get mad at them for identical things, which just suggests that it is my own insecurities and neuroses, playing out over and over.

How do I overcome this? It makes me sad that he no longer looks at me with such unconditional adoration. It makes me sad how easily I irritate him. It makes me frustrated how annoying I can be. But I just keep doing the same thing over and over....

I do think I have given him too much info. I tell him about every crazy thing that I think, which surely makes him think differently of me (wow you are not the hot smart confident woman I thought you were) and gives him the upper hand. I tell him everything. I know he does not do the same for me.

most recent "sunshine trigger"

I confess, I know his friendster/myspace/facebook page and he does not know that I do.
For the most part there is nothing on there to offend. But recently:

he is going out with a male buddy of his I have never met. He is not inviting me. He has invited some other girl to go with him, an old friend of his I have also never met. He has not told me this. Last time he hung out with this gir he did not invite me.
Should I be suspicious/angry? I am, honestly.

thoughts?

(yes I know no one reads this, but nonetheless)
