Right now in your life, what's your favorite thing about yourself?

It could be in reference to anything: Your hobbies, your work, your personality, your looks... More than one answer is fine.

What makes you proud to be you? I wish to know!

I'd have to go with my ability to pull a good meal out of thin pickings from the pantry and a paltry bit of meat. Take tonight's dinner for example. White bean and ham soup with garlic toast made from fresh baked bread (we didn't have any bread in the house).

I cant think of anything in particular. I know there are things about me that are good and somethings that I like about me but nothing sticks out more than another.


Now I am not saying I don't like my life cause I do like my life. And I do see many things I like about me but when I try to thing of one thing that's better my mind goes blank. I think for some part I am still figuring out exactly who I am and what fits me. If I have to name something I would say my ability to learn anything I need to and learn it quickly

I'd like to point out your ability to pick out amusing sigs.

My work ethic, my ability to learn something quickly, my compassion, my sense of humour, my eyebrows, and my nose.

To name a couple. :uhhuh:

my laid backness I guess. I just have a hard time anymore getting really worked up about stupid shit or stupid people, it has made me much more happy and better to be around.

Being able to fake a happy face for my students when my day is less than perfect.

my acting ability, though it will never ever win me an oscar.

The ability to function in a world where I just want to see everyone around me either shot in a robbery, burned in a fire, hit by a car, tortured by a serial killer, bleed from a wound...... *trails off into thought*

Able to smile, be cordial and collect paychecks on a weekly basis.

... Nothing that I can think off. I know it's my confidence issues talking, but I honestly feel like a complete and utterly worthless human being. If I wasn't, I'd have at least found some way to contribute to the people I live with, instead of being a giant waste of their resources. Besides, considering the way the people I know treat me consistently, I get the feeling I'm not the only one who thinks this.

My ability to, er, um. Damn, this is harder than I thought.

I like my miniatures. That's kinda all I've got.

The top 10 things that are awesome about Poe.

10: ____

..



........

Hrm.

Well, this is disturbing.

My sense of humor and ability to make others laugh, even if it's at me being a total moron. I might not be happy very often but I feel better knowing everyone around me is having a good time.

Not enough space to write how awesome I am, so I'll just write "My humility"

My sense of humor and ability to adapt quickly.

My loyalty to close friends and family.

My inability to love.

My sense of humor and here's where I'm not gonna lie, I like my body for the first time in pretty much my entire life. I've finally shed most of the fat that plagued me throughout high school and college. I have some abs going on. I'm no longer embarrassed to go swimming. It's been a huge boost to my confidence.

I actually like myself, which is a far cry from the depressive fat kid I was 10 years ago (man, it's been almost 10 years since I graduated high school. My parents were right, once you're done school, your life just flies by.)

My damn good looks.

I...can't really think of anything. But that's depression for you.

I have to go with AshBurner and ThatNickGuy for the moment. I know I'm not horrible at a lot of stuff, but lately, I've mainly seen myself in a negative light, and haven't been able to do anything to be proud of or especially interesting or good. Just a long list of failures, so, err, nope.

My obsession of living life to the fullest.

@TNG- You're a comics connoisseur with a love of animals.

@Bubble181- If any man could seduce me with his eyes as he sips a beer, it would be you.

embrace your awesome

My ability to empathize with people (despite not even being a people person).

That my grey hairs are coming in a nice shiny silver color. It will look really cool when there's no brown left.

"A beer"? Dude, that was 6 year old Geuze Hanssens :-P

Also, thanks. I'd look OK, if it wasn't for being constantly plagued by nervous ticks.

Actually this too, because mine are starting mainly at my temples, it's a nice Reed Richards deal going.

My brutal honesty

My ability to keep being alive against my better judgement.

My ability to keep being alive against everyone else's better judgment.

My persistence.

It's also one of my least favorite things about myself, but more often than not it brings me good things.

My ability not to care, despite insistence of my mother that it is, in fact, a bad thing.

My ability to kill a yak from two hundred yards away.

With mind bullets!

Ya beat me to it, phil. If I have to do it for you, I'm going to... and I welcome anyone else to do what phil did. This thread is about taking a moment in the day to feel good about yourself.

Nick, you're pun-tastic, and your knowledge of comics is incredible.

Bubble: You make me laugh, and you can be very sweet.

Ash: Drawing from that story about that friend of yours, you're seem very empathetic and caring. Those qualities can cause some grief, but it also means that there's lots of good in you.

So there.

Wednesday is SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Any day whose nickname is "Hump Day" must be serious.

That is correct.

Cajungal, you're really nice. It's good to see that all of our mods are great people who try to keep the peace!

Gusto, your faces are great, and you find joy in things that most people feel are mundane.

Bubbles, I am glad you live so far away! I got a good thing going with the boyfriend, and I can't afford temptation from you!

Shego makes me laugh. Alot!

Crone, you make me laugh as well, even when you're fighting off the trolls.

Juski, I don't even know where to begin. *exaggerated wink*

Ame, you work very hard with Dave to make this place what it is! And you're a pretty neat gal!

Espy has the super strength to break beds!!!! The serta sheep are scared! That sounded wrong and redneckesque, but oh well.

Hylian is from Hyrule. This alone is a great thing!

Denbrought, you're very pretty! *snicker*

Everytime I think of Pojo, I think of that awesome action shot of him scowling with a sword.

Greendog. Mind bullets. Need I say more?

Silv tells it like it is. I respect that. And giggle!

AshburnerX, I like reading your posts and I can tell you, you are the opposite of worthless!

Oh god... I will have to finish this later!!!

Vytamindi, you're very funny and you're a teacher... so you must have great patience.

Green Lantern, sadly I don't know a whole lot about you. But I've found you're a fun and pleasant person to talk to. >.< Sorry if that's lame... Plus, you have excellent taste in sweaters. OH! Hey aren't you the one who put up the pictures of dudes? I love you for that.

(Thanks Vytamind ^_^)

I never have the chance to wear it

(the picture was taken while I was travelling, in my town it normally makes something around 30º Celsius)

okay, really, I want need to ask if you are serious, because cajun commented as well, and I am not sure if you guys are joking...

(and don't like stripes)

Point No. 2: Gusto uses Italics.

My pain. In fact, I need it.

I'm not freaking kidding, GL. I love your sweater. Others might kid, but I would never kid. You might say that sweaters are serious business.

I agree with the sweater sentiments. Rock the sweater. Wear it proud. Possibly even branch into cardigans.

I'm actually looking forward to cooler weather to pull mine out of the attic.

I seem to be a funny and likable guy, even if considered a weirdo I generally end up being friends with most people.

Of course, this forum makes me lose what makes me funny in real life (Puns and my use of language+ timing), but, at least, I don't seem to have made any enemies around here...

The gonad is the organ that makes gametes. The gonads in males are the testes and the gonads in females are the ovaries.

uhm.

She'd need a scalpel to get near your gonads.

I'm sure she's got plenty of scalpels.

I also like that I'm an asshole. However I hate it, it too. I really want to change, lose the cynical, satirical smart ass personality. hmm, I also like that I don't hide from myself.

That my baking has really improved. I'm trying my first fondant covered cake this weekend!

I think I have a pretty collar bone. I'd make a nice bust sculputre, but it's all downhill from there.

I'm the best there is at what I do. It can be a bit of a curse, though.

That I'm easy going.

I am one of those guys that have a hard time completing these types of answers.

I have a great mind. a broad knowledge of several subjects, but I do not lead in any one field. - but now that I've hit 40 I seem to forget more and more things.

Compared to where I was 5 years ago, I have a good job that allows me to buy a modest house and modest car.

Yup. I'm a man who digs a good sweater. And GL is rocking the heck out of that sweater. I bet you don't get to wear it much in Brazil though do you?!?

I like my writing. That's the one constant that keeps me sane.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I disagree with this most vehemently. Both can be fun both giving or receiving. aranoid::tongue:

And V, I'd never dare do anything if you were closer, so no worries. I'm only open and forward on the 'net, in real life, I'm just the socially inept nerd :-P Thanks, though, and Cajun too

That would look great written in a sweater

How can I pick just one thing to like most about myself?

Ame - I wish I could do that cat eye look. I always make myself look like crap when I use eyeliner.

My tenacity.
Also, I have the ability to to admit it when I am wrong.

GOD I can't do anything useful with makeup... mascara, concealer and lipgloss are about all I can handle. It's a wonder I haven't killed myself with my eyelash curler!

Bubble, who said anything about you being too forward? ZING OH SNAP!!!

...in case you're confused, that would be me, not you... so... there. God I'm awkward....

Cuyval Dar said:

Click to expand...

No you don't.

I like everything about myself but my teeth and my ever-expanding waistline.

But if I had to say something specific I'd say it's my ability to befriend people and be comfortable in situations where others are not. Example: Being in a totally strange place where I know absolutely no one. I love it. I watch people and will usually know at least a few people's names by the time I leave.


And to those who feel they are worthless, you are not. Everyone at one time or another feels this way. You just need to find something that makes you happy and concentrate on that. If there are things you can't control stop worrying about them! Pick something you don't like and change it. Don't like your hair? Get it cut! Feeling fat? Start working out. Only work on 1 thing at a time and you'll find the successes will start to multiply. Pretty soon you have new-found confidence and it will show and be contagious. Trust me. This is what I did. I used to be miserable and then I did this and now my confidence level is probably too high.

I generally like my ability to quickly cut through the bullshit and see the big picture/real issues when everyone around me is at defcon 1 constantly.

Also, I've always liked my eyes, even though I hate my eyebrows.

Heh, mostly I think I just set a bar reasonably high so other people can eventually clear it.

I like that I'm literally one of the smartest people alive. But it has also made me extremely lazy, so that I post on internet boards and procrastinate because I know I can do it at the last minute better than most of the people who worked on it all along. But then I like that, too.

I like my ass. *nods*

I like my ability to love monsters....and they love(s) me.

Change "monsters" to "Myself" and "They" to "Everybody".

My kid. He's awesome and makes me feel awesome

Except at 4 am when I'm so tired and he's ready and rearin' to play. Not crying. Just laughing and up

Aww, Lilsin that's wonderful. I'm glad you're enjoying motherhood so.
