I always felt as a kid that I was underappreciated, invisible or weird, but I've always secretly thought people would one day appreciate what is different about me. I'm always putting that message out there.
At the heart of personality is the need to feel a sense of being lovable without having to qualify for that acceptance.
Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.

I'm not intimidated by how people perceive me.
I think of myself as being quite affable, approachable, fairly easy to get to know.
