I tend to be quite self-conscious about the image I portray to others. I always try to put my best out there so that people don’t get the wrong impression of me. The past couple days, I’ve gotten a few choice quotes thrown my way:

To my cousin-in-law from his girlfriend: “Does Shawn ever get tired of winning at everything?”

From a frustrated friend during our Gears session: “What the %!@^# is your secret?”

Both of those are great for my self-esteem… so the following put me back in my place:

From a friend’s fiancee: “He’s such a good looking guy. Have you told him that he doesn’t need to make that face that makes him look like a douche all the time?”
