Does anyone mind answering a question for me? I know it's a little personal -- [just say it]

Is it a hard thing for you to stand up for yourself?

	But it's still really impressive! Even people that work on normal robots usually have hard-to-get degrees. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... It's nothing special, really. [especially when it's not even her effort that lets her do it] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wontfightghosts 2011-06-19 02:46 am UTC (link)
	Well, why not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lodestar 2011-06-19 02:48 am UTC (link)
	Because -- a lot of people can do it in my world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wontfightghosts 2011-06-19 02:51 am UTC (link)
	Well... what's something that you think is impressive? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lodestar 2011-06-19 02:52 am UTC (link)
	[thinking a moment] I guess... standing up for yourself and people you love? That's why I asked for help, after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wontfightghosts 2011-06-19 02:54 am UTC (link)
	Well, comparatively, there are a lot of people that can stand up for themselves, too! Just because a lot of people can do it doesn't mean it's not an accomplishment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[well that would be a point, except] [okay] I was born knowing how to fix those things. I didn't earn it for myself. I've never don't anything just on my own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wontfightghosts 2011-06-19 02:58 am UTC (link)
	[Oh. Well, that's a little different, but:] Then what about people that are born with natural good looks? Does that mean they can't really be confident? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lodestar 2011-06-19 02:59 am UTC (link)
	Well, no -- but that's a little different. Not every one who is pretty is also confident. [~~look at Miranda.~~] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wontfightghosts 2011-06-19 03:00 am UTC (link)
	But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be. A lot of being confident is learning to accept your merits for what they are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lodestar 2011-06-19 03:03 am UTC (link)
	I... think that depends on how you see yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wontfightghosts 2011-06-19 03:04 am UTC (link)
	That's what I mean. If you aren't confident and you want to be, you have to change the way you look at yourself. -- oh! I didn't even introduce myself... [AHEM.] I'm Ran Mouri! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lodestar 2011-06-19 03:06 am UTC (link)
	A-Anew Returner. [she feels weird now, having told Ran such personal things.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wontfightghosts 2011-06-19 03:17 am UTC (link)
	It's nice to meet you, Miss Returner. I-I'm sorry if I was really pushy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lodestar 2011-06-19 03:18 am UTC (link)
	Oh, not at all. It's good to hear other perspectives, or I'll never change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wontfightghosts 2011-06-22 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	That's a good way to look at it, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lodestar 2011-06-23 12:45 am UTC (link)
	I hope so. I may not be very good at this, but I feel like I really need to do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wontfightghosts 2011-06-24 03:13 am UTC (link)
	I think it's important, too! If you ever want help or advice, you can always ask me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lodestar 2011-06-24 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. That's very kind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wontfightghosts 2011-07-03 04:49 am UTC (link)
	Eheh. I mean it, too! (Reply to this) (Parent)
