Grumpy
I have recently been told by close friends that I am ditzy (not the first time incidently) and that I complain too much.
I can´t help but think that I am totally misunderstood by most people. No-one seems to get my tongue in cheek sense of humour about... well, basically everything. People always think I complain, but there is actually very little in my life I´m unhappy with. I guess maybe it´s sounds like I´m whinging to the untrained ear, but Jesus! If you take everything I take seriously, you´ll end up with the total wrong idea of me! I´m Australian for God´s sake! This is what we do... we take the piss. We whinge, we bitch, we moan... but we don´t mean it! Life is good... so we need to pretend it´s not! If I like you and trust you, I will tease you. That is just how I am.
And the ditzy thing... well... this has got me down. Especially because other people have mentioned it before. I am aware that I am not very intellectual or particularly smart, but to think that people think I´m ditzy... it just makes me want to dye my hair black and start writing Gothic poetry. I would like to imagine I can hold a fairly intelligent conversation about a variety of things and although I wear high heels in the snow at times, it´s always for an appropriate occasion!
Maybe I am not good at self representation. Maybe I should take myself and others more seriously. Maybe I shouldn´t be so excitable or enthusiastic about things... but the sad thing is... until really recently I wasn´t doubting myself. I was really happy with myself. Now, I am grumpy... with myself and everyone.
Not to mention the rest of my life which is totally up in the air until July... and then it will still hover a foot above ground probably forever.
No wonder I´m so fucking insecure at the moment... I have absolutely nothing to feel secure about!
Anyway... finished whinging now. And this time I was being serious.

Ditzy and grumpy - that's at least two dwarves...! And if you died your hair black you would be snow white..!
I don't think you're ditzy at all.
But I am interested in the contrast between the no complain concept and I "I have absolutely nothing to feel secure about"....?! I'm sure you have lots of blessings to count.
Just because I feel insecure doesn´t mean I complain about it.
Of course I have lots of "blessings to count", but very little of them have to do with my current feelings of security in terms of employment, relationships, financal situation or where to live. These (as you well know) are important aspects in life and if they are totally up in the air then you are bound to feel insecure.
There are lots of wonderful things in my life at the moment... but at the same token, they are not guaranteed in anyway and this is somewhat disconcerting.
Ditzy is not perhaps endearing, charming in a way? When did intellect ever warm people's hearts? You'll be right mate!...
