How Seriously Do You Take Yourself?

Not especially, when I have, it's given myself some of my best laughs. I don't take people who take themselves too seriously, too seriously either... though they don't think it's quite as funny... :l

If I don't, who will?
There is a time and place for everything.
I do enjoy being silly, but in the grand scheme of things balance in all things.

There are times when I need to take myself seriously to give myself a kick in the ass. Overall, I do find the more I can just laugh at myself (which I do do quite often) the easier it is to get through life.

I try not to take myself too seriously. It has nothing to do with not feeling proud of my accomplishments or having self-confidence; it's about being able to keep perspective and realize that I'm just one of about 6 billion people on this planet. The sun doesn't rise and set just for me. I don't ever want to get to a point in my life where I can't laugh at myself or revel in the absurdity of many aspects of my life.

Am I the only one who takes themselves damn seriously? Doesn't mean I'm not balanced. Well maybe... at times... just a bit unhinged.

I take myself seriously. I have had others interferre with my life, and livelyhood, and that is when I learned about life & living. It is each man for himself in today's world.

Good thread Nat. I enjoy reading what others have to say. Thanks!
