It's ridiculous that within such a community there can be this exclusion or otherness on a micro level, that makes people feel like they aren't "enough" of something.

It was because of my low self esteem thus I took things so seriously. I wasted all my years for that. However, now I read your article, you really gave readers including me an excellent advice about how to accept complements with gracious and how to handle ourselves. You gave us good examples too. I'll remember the red flag if I blush again. However, I will smile and say thank you the next time people give compliments.

I have a good friend I used to work with who always made a point to tell me how nice I looked or that she liked what I was wearing. Sometimes, this would be on days when I specifically just wanted to crawl into a hole because I felt I looked unkempt or fat, or frumpy, etc. And I know she was being genuine, but I could seriously not comprehend why anyone would think I looked nice that day. I would thank her and proceed with "I actually feel like X today so I'm surprised you think that," and laugh. I realize it's better to just say "Thank you", however it's difficult when one struggles with personal unhappiness about whatever the compliment is about. That said, when it happens to me the other way around and it's someone I think is so *obviously gorgeous or handsome or talented beyond argument, sometimes I do think their "Oh, this old thing" reaction is a crock of false modesty!!morphoeugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111248514906781603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3121241378474731852.post-22188692606176555382012-07-30T18:27:19.772-07:002012-07-30T18:27:19.772-07:00Fabulous!

I don't have any Tatts either but I think they are cool and have a whole Pinterest board filled with examples I like. Both my sons and my nephew, all in their early 20's, have them and I don't have a problem with them at all. So maybe a new saying should be (Don't Judge a Person by their Tattoos or Lack There Of.) :)Tracy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06559417375944502307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3121241378474731852.post-34843660873160761352012-07-11T02:10:52.397-07:002012-07-11T02:10:52.397-07:00Interesting points made and very similar to my own...Interesting points made and very similar to my own views on the subject.

It is a nickname given to me the first time quite a few years ago by different people who did not know one another, with neither Goth nor pagan intentions. I tell myself it's due to having black hair and a pointed nose. The fact that I love the birds helps a bit, too. In all honesty, I have smiled at times when at clubs someone with whom I share a mutual friend will approach and say "So you're Raven?".."Yes, me and a dozen other females in the club." The best response I've ever gotten to that.."Ok, so you're the Raven that doesn't misspell it by adding 'h', 'y' or some fraction of the alphabet to make it seem mystical and Gaelic?"... "Yup. That's me." I like just plain old "Raven", hanging out in some dark corner, out of the way and observing the festivities.=)Raven Sextonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377446319000178050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3121241378474731852.post-33673524272365436172012-06-10T10:20:08.523-07:002012-06-10T10:20:08.523-07:00Cool... by the way, is your real name Raven, or is...Cool... by the way, is your real name Raven, or is it a nickname of sorts?Lyrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808215556710172286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3121241378474731852.post-3804878048113245462012-05-06T16:22:51.656-07:002012-05-06T16:22:51.656-07:00WOW!

You illustrate beautifully the very point of my post. While I really do enjoy Goth nights and events, life doesn't always allow for the nocturnal indulgences. Events can be a blast, and there is such a variety of different things to do, but I know it is definitely a challenge for many of us who don't live near these events. Too bad I don't have a travelling show. A bit like "Something Wicked This Way Comes" but with better outfits. =)Raven Sextonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377446319000178050noreply@blogger.com
