IamPickleRick · 22/05/2019 12:29

What I like;

  3. I am altruistic

What I don’t like;

  1. I’m too messy
  2. I’m often impatient
  3. I don’t think I say things out loud the way I mean them to come out. It’s taken me a while to realise this and I’m working on my tone!

LynetteScavo · 22/05/2019 18:00

Bloody hell, I've just realised there is nothing I like about myself!

I would like to drink less.

I would like to eat less.

I would like to be able to accumulate savings. Which should be doable on my income, but apparently I fail at that too. I'm just a massive looser. But most people haven't noticed yet.

CakeNinja · 22/05/2019 18:06

I have a good, quick sense of humour
I listen before speaking
I like to see the good before the bad and err on the side of thinking that everyone has their off days rather than tearing into them.

I have no motivation. Career and personally.
Impulsive spender on things I don’t need.
Sugar addict (which I’m trying hard to overcome but the motivation problem means it’s a constant uphill battle and never ever seems to get easier).

CakeNinja · 22/05/2019 18:06

Blimey, some of you are so hard on yourselves Shock

SallyWD · 22/05/2019 18:11

3 things I don’t like

  1. I’m terrible for keeping up long distance contact😩
  2. I would like to lose half a stone 😬

Kiwiinkits · 22/05/2019 18:14

Good things

  1. I am fast to get to the nub of any issue and to plan what needs to be done (problem solver and planner)
  2. I take action to resolve issues that I have control over (action-oriented)
  3. I ignore the rest (not a worrier)

Bad things

  1. I’m greedy with food (hungry and a bit overweight)
  2. I often put my own needs first (selfish)
  3. I do not cope well with physical discomfort like being hungry, wet or cold. So I would be hopeless in a survival situation.
ohtheholidays · 22/05/2019 18:15

What I like.

1,Children are usually really drawn to me(I'm empathic)which is something I really love about being me
2,Animals(wild and tame)again are usually really drawn to me.
3,I'm good at making people laugh.

What I don't like.

1,I spend far to much money on pretty much anything(as long as it's for someon else)and everyone.
2,Being disabled taking over to much time for my DH and my DC(I've agreed to see several different specialists every week now to try and make that/me better)because of the pain it causes me.
3,I'm bloody late so bloody often and I hate it!

BillywigSting · 22/05/2019 18:24

Things I like

I am a good mother and I listen to my dc and respect their feelings and boundaries

I am very patient

I can be quite creative when I put my mind to it

Things I don't like

I am monumentally lazy, like too lazy to be bothered eating when I'm hungry sometimes lazy (though never too lazy to feed/look after dc)

My boundaries are not great and I let people take advantage of me too much. I am working on this

I am ridiculously short (under 5ft) and can't even reach the bottom shelf never mind the top one. Not much I can do about it like but another six inches would have been nice!
