All I know is it is 18 inches long and pretty big around too. ...God I love my forearm.
Personality wise: My rigidity. I don't like to quit. I'll allow myself to take a different path or detour but I won't just throw away the cause completely. I've never dropped a class for it being too hard, I've never quit a job, I just couldn't. I like to see things through until the end. In my mind, I have to. I have no other option. When something becomes non-optional to me, then it's just that: my only option.
In addition to that, I don't want to be seen as a failure. I don't want my Mom to have to have a daughter who got pregnant before she got an education, I don't want people to see me as a failure, I want to be the one person in my family who did it the right way as opposed to having babies, multiple baby-daddies, drug addictions and years of strife before getting their lives together. My Mom has had a lot of disappointment in her life and her family looks down on her and I want her to be able to say that her daughter, unlike theirs, is a college educated woman with a normal, healthy family and a good rapport. I value my sense of shared shame.
Looks wise, I've been told that my ass is my best feature. Many times. I don't have your typical flat white girl ass. It's round but not overly huge. I guess.
I'm really self-critical, which helps me in finding my flaws and improving myself.
Of course I shouldn't be too self-critical, since that'd damage my self-esteem. Nobody's perfect.
Wait, now I'm being not critical enough! How am I going to make it in this world if I've got no discipline? I need to be harder on myself! Raaaaaaah!
This usually goes on for a while...
People tend to get angry when someone boast about the things that they like about themselves. Personally, I think that it's good to be proud of who you are and your talents. That doesn't make you arrogant, but people think that because you're not bashing yourself and putting yourself down then you're not "humble", but whatever. I think that more people should embrace the things that they enjoy about themselves instead of hiding them away and pointing out the things they don't like just to appear modest in front of their peers.
What I like most about myself? I like that fact that I'm creative in unique. That I'm proud of who I am and don't care about the opinions other may have about me. If you have a problem with how I feel about myself, kiss my ass!
Hmmm let's see. I love my hair, eyes and lips. My booty ain't bad either. I like that i'm strong. I enjoy not needing to rely on people to do things for me, I know I can't do everything myself but at least I try first. I think I'm somewhat amusing, even if I only amuse myself. I like that I'm a sarcastic smartass. I'm crafty and creative. I'm good with my hands. Of course my pets love me, i give them snuggles and kissies and i tell them secrets ;) Uhh...I may think of something else and return.
I like that I get along well with many people.
Whew, that took some effort...
Yes, you are very likable. But no need to be modest. It's okay to strut your stuff, I asked.
Thank you.
My brain was screaming filth and negativity at me with every word of it.
I have come up with another. The trait is not without a negative side though.
I like to listen. All of my life I have always preferred to listen. I am comfortable with silence. However, my vocal abilities have suffered as a result. I am a listener and a thinker, but not at all much of a talker.
What I like about myself would be that I'm persistent at what I'm doing; I never give up. I've always been this way too. A good example, in elementary I worked so hard to be able to write correctly instead of having letters backwards or scribble. I was born with a joint issue so if I didn't work so hard on my writing I wouldn't have as good of handwriting as I do today. :)
I also have a creative mind which I love. There are reasons why I'm a pastry chef; I love challenges in baking and love combining all sorts of different flavors. Plus I love to draw, I come up with all sorts of tribal drawings.
Politeness is a big thing for me too. It bugs me if I don't thank someone for doing something for me, if I don't say excuse me or if I don't say please. It's also one of my biggest pet peeves when someone can't be polite and has an attitude.
I'm very highly empathatic too and I also like the fact that my body shape is in the middle I'm not too thin and I'm not top big. I have nice curves. I also have been told I have very pretty green eyes and a pretty natural hair color, which I like about my looks.
Ok, if I didn't say too many things that I like about myself. ha. But what I don't like about myself is that I can be very forgetful. I'll be doing something then I do something else and completely forget about what I had been doing before until I catch myself. I also can be lazy because I have fatigue which I am tired a lot. It doesn't help that I have a hearing disorder where I can't block sound and a disorder that has fatigue and sleep issues that come a long with it. Oh also I don't like that I'm not the best at socializing since I do have expressive aphasia and just not the best at english in the first place. But I keep myself going. :)
Humans are programmed to have big, powerful egos. As a result, it takes a lot of maturity and self-awareness to be honest about our own defects. I think it might be more worthwhile to ask people what they like least about themselves and then ask them to go out tomorrow and try and make that aspect better.
I think people on this site have had more than enough opportunities (and taken more than enough of them) to own up to their flaws. I know I've done quite a bit of "owning up" since being here. People are so down on themselves these days, it's good to remember the positive things once in a while
I think there is room for both questions here. And many have found a way to give me both a strength, and a weakness. However, I wanted to see positive traits.
And iezegrim, you did not answer the question.
Physically, I like my face.
Emotionally, I have a great personality.
I may sound arrogant, but that's ok cause I am.
You know I don't think of you as arrogant at all. You seem like a very kind young guy from your comments. :)
A little arrogance is good. Without it you would have trouble asserting yourself. And I am glad you do.
Thanks. Hey, if you don't mind me asking, and I'm genuinely interested in knowing, what's your favorite thing about yourself?
There are a few things, but I don't always talk about it. I am rather arrogant myself and it makes me self conscious at times. But I have to say I am fond of my own kindness towards others. It makes me sad to see that many people have no experience with true kindness. And honestly, it takes no effort on my part, so I give what I can. I love that I am a kind, loving, and honest individual.
Thanks for asking.
I love that you are that way to :). I agree not many people see kindness, so it's good that there's someone like you out there to show them. Hopefully none of them take advantage of that aspect about you. And as you told me, a little arrogance is good, so it's not a bad thing.
The urge to self-defame is strong within me, but hold it back I must. I think I have a pretty strong ability to empathise, and I think (I hope) that I'm good at not sounding arrogant. I'm a good listener (or a bad talker, I'm never sure which. Probably both though). I'm considerate, usually too much so.
Instead of making me feel good about myself, this question actually made me think of all the things I hate about myself. I'm not sure why. I would blame being too tired, but "being too tired" is pretty much a constant state for me.
EDIT: I'm an impressively quick injester of fluids and I know and appreciate long words and words like "injester" which don't even exist. I still look okay if I don't wash my hair every day and I look fine in black, I guess.
My eyes are a great cook and my pets love my personality. My face looks good in masks.
Injesting fluids quickly is a gift, cherish it!Seriously though, without your ability to empathize with others, your advice wouldn't be as good as it.
But you are a good person, don't think otherwise. You clearly have a good heart, so don't worry about sounding arrogant.
My eyes! They're silver blue, with light/neonish flakes of green in the center.
My "I don't give a fuck" attitute. Everyone else seems to love that about me too :)
Physically, my favorite thing is my body. Personality wise, I like to think I'm smart. :)
When I think about it, there's nothing about myself that I like. I could say my creativity, but the last "creative" thing I did was about a month ago. I could go on with my criticisms ,but you only want to hear the positives, which is fine by me.
You are often creative in your responses. You judge yourself too harshly. And while you may feel the need to criticize yourself. I don't think I've noticed you do that to others. I think that's a wonderful quality.
What I am like usually either irritate people or are useless in the real world. I am very good at art. I also analyze things so I can often read behavior and situation based on observation.
This makes it easier for me to give people advice in a lot of cases even if I am not ever in the situation myself. Though this habit also makes me have a bunch of weird ideas and people get annoyed with it.
Like "What would happen if".. and often I get told I am stupid for ever thinking of this. I always thought my ideas were creative and interesting but a lot of times I am told Im just told they are stupid or messed up for thinking it. I just think too much and people seem to hate that unless you are doing something that directly helps them.
Thank you. I suppose I should try to stop being so pessimistic and think more positively about thyself.
I'm purdy. (◕ω◕✿)ﾉ
I think I have a great personality when I'm in my good moods.
I pay attention to every little detail. For example at work there's a fairly new manager who everyone hates. I could tell why but I also concluded from observation that that is just her personality and it doesn't seem like she means to be a bitch. So when she says something 'bitchy' I don't take offense. (There's a point where it's not okay though.) I'm also aware of my own problems, emotionally speaking, and will give myself a break if I screw up on something. That's the only way I can survive.
I have a coworker like this. She is a bitch, plain and simple. But once you realize this is her personality, you start to see the other qualities that are truly amazing. She is a strong woman and takes no shit from anyone.
It took me a while to see past this personality trait. I'm glad you are able to do this with ease.
Well more my personality than any of those. If one of my friends was killed I would avenge them even if I died trying
Oops I put other I meant personality but I also think my cock is a chick scorer
I like the fact that I have a high opinion of myself. I always put myself first in everything that I do and I'm happy that way. I'm a very strong person and I always do the best to succeed in whatever I enterprise. I like being the first. Some people might say that I'm a pain in the ass.
The only thing i can think of is that i will fight for my friends, and i can not stand to see someone cry
Personality. I am a people person and have been told I am easy to get along with and to talk to. I seem to be a very approachable guy and I am not intimidating in a scary way. People like to open up to me because most of the time, cannot say 100%, but am not even judgmental.
I like that I'm smart and witty. I like my hair and nails. I also like that I can have fun on my own. Though I don't know if there's one "favorite" thing that I like about myself.
After a considerable amount of thought, I've come to the conclusion that my favorite thing about myself is that I'm fair, in more than one sense. But mainly that I have a great sense of justice. Also my creative/crafty side, I appreciate that too. It's entertained me many a times in this existence. :)
Oh! And I do look really good in red! :D
How about yourself, Anony? Will you grace us with your favorite about yourself?
Why, such kindness. ;) I really like that you asked what we like, not what we dislike. It's much harder to answer and in a way shows your kindness.
It was hard to write. I felt a bit like I was fishing for compliments, or shining a spotlight on myself. Oh well. I didn't want to hear people hating on themselves. I knew people would comment on their negative side without asking for it.
Thanks for replying. I always enjoy your comments on the stories I write. You always put much thought into the words you share.
You're talking crazy! Your question didn't seem centered on yourself at all. It seemed very carefully worded as to try and bring out the positive in each of us. Looking at our answers it's easy to see how hard it is to be good to yourself, and when you are able to do so, not feel guilty about it or too prideful, judging it necessary to either add an "arrogance" or a "fuck you all" disclaimer. I know I was tempted to do it.
Thanks yourself for your words. If I put thought into the words I share you must have the odd stories then, my comments usually don't have said quality! Hahaha :P
Well, I like my hair the most. I like being small and people usually refer to me as a combination of cute and tough. I like that.
I say what I think and don't worry that much about filtering it just to be PC or to tiptoe around issues. I like that about myself.
I like that I've seen a lot of the world and been through some things that were tough, I think it has made me stronger.
Also, I'm a "firecracker" in bed. (Or so I'm told)
I an Danny. I can be a bit extreme on some issues. However over all I am a very friendly fellow. I believe in facts and honor. I also believe in respect. "I aim to please". Since I am a host I have to be friendly and polite. I am to most people most of the time. I do have a few superstitions and I am very traditional.
The thing that I most like about myself...? I'm a soul sharing this universal existence with the rest of humanity.
This question is actually kind of difficult to answer. There are certain things about myself that I love just as much as I hate. I'm very self-critical, so my flaws have always outweighed my strengths (in my mind). I like my enigma-ish personality. I'm good at knowing the right and wrong times to open up. I like the fact that I'm naturally a considerate, helpful person. What I like even more about it though is that I'm picky about when and who I'm using that skill for. I love the fact that I'm very organized, and completely ocd about cleanliness. I'm happy that I can see through other's bullshit like a glass window. I have high self worth, I guess that's something to proud about. I like how I can write out and organize just about every aspect in my life; right down to my thinking patterns. I also like my face, kinda. Sorry if all of that sounded douchy, but hey, you asked the question.
everyone says I'm good at keeping calm, in difficult situations when everyone else is tense or nervous.
then I'm good at listening and cheering other people up.
I suppose I'm proud of that.
I hate everything about myself but I like to think that my cat loves me.
I have really great taste in music. I'm self aware I am aware of my own emotions and how they affect other people and I can regulate these emotions. I make a great cup of coffee. My dress sense is on point also.
I was born strong willed & I've managed to retain that it's not something a person can take away from you.
I am very ambitious I'm not a dreamer I don't sit on the stoep imagining, I take the necessary steps to get to where I want to be.
really nothing about me but my pets like me and I can multitask at times when i want to when i don't want to i wont.
