Why did you think you disliked yourself, Flame? Any elaboration on the insecurity?

I don't think there was a sole specific cause, but I did have a speech impediment while growing up. I was always so worried I would embarrass myself or that others would make fun of me for the way I talked. It was hard to see any good traits or qualities in myself. I saw myself as an unlikable person for lack of a better term.

That had to suck. I mean really. How did you get past the impediment?

Speech therapy helped. I suppose I also just outgrew as I got older.

Sarah,

Why are you being so hostile? You're not drunk again are you!
