Would you be able to bring yourself to say here "yes, with regard to that I was a blonde bimbo" if that would make somebody feel better? I've done that sort of thing a few times. Not to make someone feel better as in frivolous feel-good, certainly, but to help someone at risk, you betcha. I wouldn't think of myself as a blonde bimbo as a result but rather as a magnanimous blonde bimbo. <g> That's not so hard on the ol' self image. But more to your point, I would never encourage anyone to internalize an undeserved negative image. A couple of points about that. I find it impossible to believe that you can't find something, SOMETHING, that you did during this incident that is both negative and deserved. It may not be what I suggested it was. And it certainly wouldn't be all that you've been accused of. But there must be something. If you can't find anything, then your self image is a sham. You're doing the equivalent of believing that ou can bench-press 300 pounds. And if your self-image can't handle a bit of soul searching and honesty, then it's not worth much. Being honest with oneself is a plus for the self image, just as is magnanimity, not a negative. If you really think you'd have to be dishonest with yourself to acknowledge any shortcoming in this incident, you're deluded.
