I am my own worst critic, so to take that much negative from a friend would be really hard to deal with. So......they would have to be an extraordinary friend, or it would not last long.

About two seconds. But I don't need friends to do that, that's why I have sisters!
I've really been working this a lot in recent months, so I would say the friend would last close to 5 minutes!
I wonder, sometimes, if we ever give God a headache.
I don't get to harsh on myself. Sure I make mistakes everyday....fuss at myself and say did you learn something.
But I guess I have to take the opposite of everyone else on the friend. Really good friends forgive and my closest friends have forgiven me for outbursts and I them. So I think a smile and an I love you works for me with my friends.

For life! I like that my friends can be honest with me, and encourage them to "give it to me straight."
Actually I've been working on that - not just for me, but everyone in my family because everyone always says "I'm ugly" "I'm a Loser" and "Nobody loves me" etc. I figure you say these things, you believe them, so now I'm policing their self-esteem issues. My mom makes fun of me because she says I overdo it - my niece said her eyes were boring and I told her my eyes are awesome. So these days, if someone talks to me like I'm trying to talk to myself they'll end up my bestie.
Probably not very long because sometimes I can be very critical of myself.

I haven't been an active paper crafter for a while and want to get back in the swing of things!

Probably not very long for me. But, like many other Cherries, I'm trying to get better at how I treat myself.
OCD is not an adjective. It is not a personality quirk. It is not synonymous with being organized. It is a complex and debilitating mental health illness that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and is defined by the presence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions. I am an OCD warrior and I fight for my son.
wow, that one made me stop and think. I have been pretty hard on myself lately. I wouldn't take it very long from someone else.
