How do you maintain "the awesome" under a fire of questions?
You maintain it with superior game, attitude and mindset, just because someone asks questions and says words that you don't like doesn't mean they should throw you off your game. They are just words, they don't have blades attached to them which pierce your skin when they are spoken to you.
If someone asks about your feelings, you don't have to tell them if you don't feel comfortable. Just say "hey I'm not really comfortable answering that right now" or "I'm feeling great, I hope she does well with her new guy, I'm doing great in my life too"
Someone once said on this site(and I don't know who, so don't ask), fake it til you make it! The idea is this, you feel like you aren't this awesome person with an awesome life right now, we get it, we understand that, but pretend anyways. At first it sucks because it isn't real but you put that f!@#$%* smile on your face and strut like Travolta and laugh about it, and then you know what, you enjoy that laughing, that feeling that comes with that silliness, it's enjoyable, so you keep on doing it because you like how it feels. After a while of faking it, you don't have to fake it, smiling and feeling awesome just happens to come naturally because you've been training yourself to do this while you were faking it and you've learned that making yourself happy and feeling awesome is totally within the realm of your abilities and ultimately your responsibility, no one else's.
You are awesome, not because I'm telling you that you are, because you really are, you just have to convince yourself to look a little harder in the mirror til you see it.
