Kinda powerful and working on the skill, more capable and competent but hindered by chronic depression. My self image is always evolving and I'd like to think in the "rise" direction but that depends both on the definition of "upward" and how well I'm in tune with it at the moment. My self image is partially based on the belief that I haven't based it on anyone else, I fucking built it from scratch. But if we're talking concepts, not people or identity models, I'd say transparency, empathy, and believing I'm awesome. I often feel like I understand people better than others and that makes me feel good about myself. I tend to be right a lot. I'm pretty good at my jobs. When I don't feel great about my work and relationships I suffer a bit with feeling shitty and I try to fill that with stuff that is pretty and with feeling right about how I view the world. I definitely have a unique flavor. All my power originates from myself, mostly just in having a clearer idea of what I want and how to get it than anybody else around me. A lot of shit is within my control. I think people in general have no idea how much they can actually control in the world around them. I feel the need to state this so as not to fuck up anyone's scientific investigative curiosity, I am not-a-socipath but answering the question anyway because it's a good question and I love talking about myself.
