The Looking Glass Self

Okay so a guy I work with commented on my unique personality and it was a pretty funny conversation! He looks at me with a sudden light bulb expression and says, "Wow, you are a very special girl..." My response was, "Like eat the paste special?!" Which he then quickly explained that he thought that I was a very cool girl that was the exception to every rule he could think of. With that he then went so far as to say that the guy I marry will be extremely lucky to have me, because I enjoyed guy things like video games, lord of the rings, blowing stuff up, and camping!!! I'm not going to lie this was an incredible boost to my self esteem and I can't help but hope that my husband will feel the same way about me. I just think of myself as normal old me, but it's nice to sometimes see how others see me. It's always a mind blowing experience because people seem to think that I'm some amazing person that has this great character...
