Emotionally intelligent
compassionate
I can laugh at myself!

OrangePumpkinLobelia · 03/11/2022 11:03

Ooh interesting. I am higly self critical so this could be a good change.

  1. I always thought I would like to be friends with me. I am loyal, discreet and kind.
  2. I am very smart and totally committed to my colleagues. I am in a stupid competitive industry and always prioritise helping colleagues when they are feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed. I would like me as a colleague.
  3. I don't gossip. Someone tells me something and that is it. It goes nowhere else.

I can be internally a bit petty on occasion though. It mostly stays inside my own thoughts that.

Sevensilverrings · 03/11/2022 12:48

I’m tenacious, I’m resilient and I think I see the world, myself and others reasonably clearly without my own stuff fogging the lens, which hopefully means I’m interesting non judgmental company.
I also no longer see much point in taking myself or life too seriously. Is that four? Must be a good day. (I’m also a menopausal tyrant with a hair trigger temper…but hey ho, balance in all things…)

YewandOak · 03/11/2022 12:49

I'm honest
I'm fair
I can (and often do) laugh at myself when I get stressed/annoyed over something

Nice thread! Like many others, I'm very self-critical, so this will be a pleasant change.

People seem to like me and want to be my friend. I've moved around a lot, but always made friends without trying.

I am a good writer.

I like my nose.

Bonjovispjs · 03/11/2022 14:41

Reliable
Funny
Lovable (a friend told me that, I didn't just decide it for myself 😁)

I'm goodf at my job

MuckyPlucky · 03/11/2022 17:16

I have severe MH issues which are caused by (and in turn cause) self-loathing / shame / self-criticism, so this thread could be really helpful although it’s almost impossible to say something nice about myself (it feels wrong). But I guess:

  • I always try my best at whatever I do
  • I’m sensitive to others’ needs and supportive of them
  • I’m proud of my tenacity as I’ve survived a huge amount and still here/parenting/standing.
Jafffffacakes · 03/11/2022 17:18

I’m funny
people confide in me as they know I’ll listen
my skin

MysweetAudrina · 03/11/2022 17:21

Only 3?

I'm nearly always happy and have a smile on my face.

I have stuck to and loved doing an hours yoga practice every morning for the last 5 years.

I placed first in my country and 2nd and 8th worldwide on 2 of my final professional accountancy papers when I was over the age of 40, working full time with 5 children.

TheMorigoul · 03/11/2022 19:05

@MysweetAudrina 3 a day if you'd like to keep joining in.

@MuckyPlucky well done for being proud of yourself. I really don't mean that to be patronising.

I work hard not to inflict my depression on those around me

i am aware of others who are suffering and try to give them some of my time and attention

I love my husband who is unwell and I try to make him happy

TedMullins · 03/11/2022 19:30

I like the fact that I seem to have missed the bit of female socialisation that says you have to put everyone else first and be nice. I unashamedly put myself first all the time.
I’m really funny.
I’m imaginative and creative and have many talents
