To counter the other thread, as we can all recognise our bad points and be over critical, it's important that we recognise our good points and actually believe it.

I'll start

I'm honest
Hard working
Will always help others if I can
I'm determined
Never scared of change or a challenge. In fact, that's where I thrive.

Whis next?

I'm hard working. I persevere. I'm intelligent and organised and good at my job.

EatingBreadAndHoney · 24/07/2019 09:11

When others are shouting at how it's impossible to do xyz, I'll have cracked on and finished xyz and abc too.

ssd · 24/07/2019 09:13

I'm kind, I'm thoughtful, I'm a good mum and wife and I was a good daughter.

munemema · 24/07/2019 09:13

I'm actually quite comfortable in my own skin Smile

I understand my faults, have (tried to) dealt with the ones that cause me problems in life but am happy with how things turned out.

ssd · 24/07/2019 09:14

Good thread op, life is too short to constantly be putting ourselves down.

JingsMahBucket · 24/07/2019 09:16

Love this. Placemarking for later as I’m currently running about.

Snog · 24/07/2019 10:52

I am warm and friendly and genuinely interested in other people. I appreciate the good in other people.

I am a good mother. I'm honest and responsible. I'm planet friendly.

I'm creative and intuitive and nurturing.

I didn't post on the other thread as I was afraid I'd take it over - but I am going to try and find some good in myself:-

  1. Creative
  2. Polite
  3. Try to make people feel better if they are sad
  4. I always smile and say hello to older people in case I am the only person that they communicate with that day
  5. Honest if I am given too much change or something I am not entitled to
GibbonLover · 24/07/2019 16:51

I will always check if someone is OK, even if it's one of our local 'spice boys' laid comatose on a bench.
I always challenge bigotry.
If you are hungry and skint, you are welcome round for tea.
I always see the funny side.
I can usually fix something, remove a stain, find a temporary workaround.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 24/07/2019 17:15

I’m kind
I’m brave
I always think “there but for the grace of God”, so I’m not very judgy
I’m loyal and I’m not bitchy
I would do anything and face down anyone for my kids
I utterly adore my DH
I’m funny and imaginative and think outside the box
I’m a half decent writer and poet

JacquesHammer · 24/07/2019 17:22

This is such a nice thread Smile

I think for me it’s that I’m satisfied.

My life isn’t what many people would class as amazing, in fact it’s very ordinary but we’re happy.

I’m a good mum is my other biggest attribute I think Smile

DinosApple · 24/07/2019 17:38

Kind,
An awesome organiser/project manager when things need doing,
Patient at work I flipping need to be
Adaptable,
Resilient,

I could not be most of those things without the support of those around me.

JudgeRindersMinder · 24/07/2019 17:40

Ill speak up for the underdog
I’m kind
Would never intentionally embarrass anyone

Bunnylady53 · 24/07/2019 18:22

Told I’m a brilliant Mum by my DM who definitely doesn’t give compliments easily!

RiddleyW · 24/07/2019 18:24

I can’t think of anything. I’m intelligent I suppose but that’s not a virtue just luck. I need to work on my self esteem I think

inthekitchensink · 28/07/2019 10:16

I’m friendly, warm, generous, affectionate, caring, supportive, empathetic, kind, intuitive, sensitive & understanding.

That’s nice to note after the other thread!
