I like that I'm mostly a kind and gentle person.
I like that I adore animals and can't eat them :)
I like that i appreciate what I have and that I'm healthy.

Mishel this thread is an awesome idea. Erm... but thinking of four things is hard?! I shall get back to you on my four lol it may take a bit of thought. ;p

I don't really like myself. It's debatable whether I grew up with Aspergers syndrome, as I have all the symptoms. It would certainly explain why I find it so hard to mix with people.

great thread, well i like being a good mother, i like my green eyes, i like the fact that i am a honest person, i like the fact i am a loving person and i love the fact that i always try to see the bigger picture in all situations.

[Anxious_gal]

I think because of our anxiety and problems we tend to always look at what is wrong with us! i'm a big believer in at least trying to be positive. if we focus on all the bad things they will inevitably appear bigger than the good stuff.

[Anxious_gal]

wow you have green eyes donna01! aw pretty x

[pooh]

I like........

my sense of humour
my academic ability
my artistic talents and
my determination

You're right, this is harder to do this than you think! but i guess i like:


My auburn hair (still naturel at 54!) and my freckles which ive grown attached to haha!
My sense of adventure (which struggles through the illness but still there)
My smile (yes i have been known to:)
That im a good listener
That my opinion is honest even if it makes me unpopular sometimes, i only have one face not two
I like my strength, thats got me through many traumas without giving up

Cathy xxx :noangel:

[its all good]

I like my smile:)
I like my spirit
I like the fact that i keep pickin myself up and carrying on
I like bein supportive to my friends

That was hard, its easy to find positive things to say about other people but a lot harder to take a look at yourself xx

Hi...er. Yes, this is difficult.:mad:

1: I'm good at drawing with a unique style.

2: I guess I'm fairly sensitive and have a measure of empathy.

3: To the best of my knowledge I've never killed anyone or started a fight with anyone.

4: I manage to keep my temper most of the time and try to be as tolerant as I possibly
can.

5: I've learned to get used to my own company out of necessity, even though it can be painful and testing for me.

6: I like to think I have a youthful and optimistic attitude towards life, even though I'm getting on a bit.

7: Patient. I try my best. Appreciate simple daily experiences. Always willing to keep an open mind and try to learn something.

8: I've got blue eyes and both of my brothers said I'm good looking.

9: I'm a survivor. (My shrink told me that)

10: I'm an accurate typist!

I've noticed a few people putting themselves down. Please don't. I've made a career out of doing this and every time another depressive episode descends upon me, my self-esteem and confidence goes out the window.

Perhaps we don't want to think of anything to like about ourselves because we might think we are being big-headed or untruthful or compare ourselves to other's who don't seem to have some of the difficulties we have to overcome.

In the end you've got to like. if not love yourself, and learn to forgive yourself again and again and again.

Great thread. I was scraping the barrel bottom for some answers though.:)

Best wishes out there

Thanks Allen, yes we anxies and depressies dont have alot of self worth do we? but really...we're all fab! :D

Its a great thread coz it forces us to think about ourselves more and realise that we do have these good points and why not share them? xxxx

[Hereford Al]

I like me because:
- I apparently have a great sense of humour and make people smile even when they are feeling down.
- I am creative and articulate.
- I think I am intelligent.
- I am great at my job (I just wish I was well enough to return to work and take part in all the crazy office banter I've missed the last 2 months!)
- People can rely on me to do something on time and to a good standard if I have said I will do it.

[diane07]

I like the caring nature that i was blessed with

I like my appreciativeness that i have for my family

I like my ability to forgive were most wouldn't

And i like the fact that i just like me the way i am
