What do you love/like most about yourself?

So I guess this thread is born out of the fact that people always complain about themselves, or atleast I do, so I wanna try and appreciate some things about who I am.

I'll go first, I like my eyes - they are light brown/hazel and I think they are quite nice to look at

Why are there no replies to this? I think it was a lovely idea for a thread!


I love that I take after my dad. He was this big, loud character that could make you laugh without trying. His hands were always flying every which way, giving life to the stories he would tell. There were a lot of dreams in his arsenal.

He has been gone for eight years now. I'd like to think that I carry on his enthusiasm for life, even when the going gets tough.

I suppose I like the fact that I can love unconditionally and not allow hate in.

Agreed it's a nice idea for a thread. Only one problem, I can't think of anything I like about myself haha.
Oh, I do like the fact that I care what happens to people, if that counts.

I'm alone a lot, no real friends, no girlfriend for years and years.....the only functional social contacts I have are structured public service volunteer organizations BUT! ! By golly I contribute to the mission in those programs! I put in time, talent, tools and some effing enthusiasm too! And I do like that about myself.

No matter what i eat, i didn't get fat (that what i like about myself)

Another thing I like about myself is the dogged determination to succeed. I used to suffer OCD, battled it, pummelled it, went and dealt with the anxiety by facing head on rough seas on my husband's 88ft sloop - that was enough to make me realise the OCD had lost its tenacious hold over me. Three, nearly fours later I am free! It was a battle, but I won thanks also to a super therapist and the CBT tools they gave me to apply.

I also gave up smoking. Had to because I'm diabetic. At the time it felt like I was going mad during the terrible nicotine withdrawal, but giving up though tough can be done if the will is there. I am - one tough young woman.

To quote Johann Wolfgang von Goethe from The Sorrows of Young Werther: “I am proud of my heart alone, it is the sole source of everything, all our strength, happiness and misery. All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.”

I'm not sure what I like about myself.

Thanks
Let me try, nudge me If I'm wrong...

• You are a "demon" hunter
• You are **** good observer
• You help people
• You have deeper understanding of things more than me.

Those are only just few, there is more But I'm trying not to spill everything out in public

See, this is great! It's nice to appreciate oneself occasionally =)

I appreciate your discretion.

Sometimes it's hard for me to know what I like/love about myself since I feel as if I am not anything special. I'm glad to know you think I help people and that I have some understanding of things. Oftentimes I think I don't understand anything and that helping people isn't of much worth.

Thank you, Dragon.

Always a pleasure

I have kind eyes, very sincere or what I've heard... :shy: I also like my laugh and weird humor.

I can see things in different perspectives.

I have never murdered anyone
I try not to be intentionally mean to people
I make bad puns
I laugh hysterically at bad jokes or for no reason because I'm nervous a lot
I'm in good shape and not hideously disfigured...I don't think...
That's all I've got

fingers... only fingers.

Honestly, not much, because I feel like I was born without any natural abilities or aptitudes, therefore making me incapable of being impressive or able to outcompete others which I think is why I have a lot of the problems I have.

I guess I like that I wasn't born with some kind of terrible illness or other health problems, I like my own taste in things (obviously, but I do like it), and I like that I'm more warm and friendly than cold, sarcastic, and critical. That's about it.
