I'm always conflicted with writing stuff pertaining to myself, I don't understand how people can even think about what to write T-T.

writing is my favorite hobby until someone asks me to describe myself/my qualities. i always think too much of how other people perceive me, and how that may conflict with my self-image. looking glass self or whatever that one psychologist said. i don't want to make any claims about myself, ever, because i feel like at least half of who i am is how i'm perceived

I had to write three poems about myself, for a workshop 

Visually, conceptually, and a combination of the two 

It's hard, but rewarding and cathartic 

Try to find a happy medium between how you see/feel about yourself, and how you want to be, or how you want to present yourself
