You're welcome! I seem to have an intuitive knack for cheering people up and helping them feel better!


This makes me think of two points. It's interesting than Kura that you apparantly 'self-depreciate'.

My question is, how well are you at cheering yourself up/making yourself feel better (because you say you're good at making others feel better a lot), and why would you self-depreciate to make that harder? Is the self-depreciation just a sub-concious thing?

And, that's something that has always interested me. The idea of a person who could have the brightest smile on their face and seem to be the happiest person who enjoys making others feel better, but is hiding it and is secretly miseable inside.

Or the person who gives to others because they know what it's like to have without. Etc. The idea the one's with the biggest heart and the biggest smile have had the hardest life.

I'm not that great at cheering myself up, mainly because I'm often hard on myself. But I've recently realized that being hard on myself doesn't do a scrap of good for me, so I'm trying not to anymore.
I believe that's called a Stepford Smiler on the internet. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StepfordSmiler

Well, there's different types of Stepford Smilers, and in real life it all depends on each particular person.
