I’ll go first.

I love that I stick at things or if I fall off, I jump back on.

I love my nails, long and strong.

Tell me some things you love about yourself. No negative self-talk allowed! 😜. We will be with ourselves until our dying day, let's show ourselves some love on this lighthearted thread.

I have big blue eyes, I'm a reliable friend and a good cook.

GagaBinks · 12/07/2024 17:24

I am an expert breastfeeder. I oversupply and find it all just so incredibly easy. I'm even a breastmilk donor! I reckon I was a wet nurse in a previous life.

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 12/07/2024 17:30

I love that I’ve done a great job of bringing up DS. I love that I’m slim but curvy and my big blue eyes and crazy curly hair. I love that I’m kind to people and I think a good friend. I love that I’ve recently achieved the next step in my career fairly easily. Oh and I love that I’ve taken to pole dancing so naturally and I’m strong (but unco-ordinated 😂).

RaraRachael · 12/07/2024 17:52

My height

The fact that I've no wrinkles at 62

My ability to see through bullshitters and timewasters very quickly

Oh that’s amazing! What a lovely thing to be able to do!!

Riapia · 12/07/2024 18:39

I’m the most beautiful person that I have ever seen in my bathroom mirror.

MummaMummaJumma · 12/07/2024 19:11

Your self love comments are so touching to read ❤️

I’m a good judge of character

Lavender14 · 12/07/2024 19:29

I love that I'm very empathetic and I'm a safe space for my son.

BouleDeSuif · 12/07/2024 19:35

I'm very resourceful. I have nice grey eyes and matching hair and I'm a good cook.
I like my body, it's been through a lot and never let me down. It's fat and soft and lovely. Small children and cats like sleeping on it.

Greenleavesinthesun · 12/07/2024 19:35

The thing I like most about myself is I can get shit done, even when the odds are against me, I am a fighter.

Im very resilient, even when it comes to death, the only deaths that would probably hit me hard and take a toll would be my children’s, but hopefully I’ll never see that day, anyone else, although I love them, I could handle. I handle death very well for some weird reason.

Im a great mum, even if I do say so myself.

I have beautiful eyes.

I have a super power seeing through the bullshit that men spout, even the real charmers who have others eating out the palm of their hands.

Thick, long silky hair. Not a single grey and I'm almost 40.

Me too and I'm 43, I've got dark thick locks

I’m a really good gardener. I can cook well and keep a nice home. I’m on top of my shit and have l worked hard to keep my weight under control.

You are who I aspire to be!! Any tips on the weight control greatly appreciated 🙏 Lovely thread!

Darkdiamond · 12/07/2024 19:41

Everybody likes me! I was a goofy, lonely, awkward teen who didn't have many friends and somehow a very likeable personality cracked out of that egg in my twenties. I'm pretty confident, funny and kind and can kind of tap into all kinds of people so have a very eclectic friendship circle!

I am constantly picking up really nice friends (and my red flag sensor is very sensitive: I listen to it very carefully). I never have drama with anyone and always try to be gracious and do what I can to keep the peace, without being a walkover. I try to be a blessing to people in my life and enrich the day of whoever walks into my path. I'm a Christian and try to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and while I never make the mark exactly, I'm on a lifelong journey to be better and make other people's lives better. I think I'm doing ok. I think I've helped a lot of people and I've been blessed with immense support from friends when I needed it, in return.

I'm also quite pretty and think I'm getting better looking with age

AmberExpert · 12/07/2024 19:42

What a great thread, thank you for starting it.
I'm sat in a pub on my own having a pint of lovely real ale, reading my book feeling so happy that I feel able to do this. I know a lot of my friends wouldn't be able/want to do this. I'm sat surrounded by couples and friends and really don't give a hoot that I'm on my own.

Zoraflora · 12/07/2024 19:47

I love my eyes.
Im very resilient and just dust myself down and keep going.
Im also a very good driver.

piscofrisco · 12/07/2024 19:51

I am generous. I don't hold a grudge (except in one more serious case), I always see the best in everyone and every situation.

Icantpaint · 12/07/2024 19:53

Really nice thread. I had to think a bit as I’m not feeling brilliant about myself right now but it’s good to acknowledge there are things I love.

I’m pretty bright, articulate, know a lot of stuff.
im genuinely a nice person. People always like me
i have a fair bit of talent in my chosen hobby (music).

Yozzer87 · 12/07/2024 19:56

I'm a good mum, to my own children and to others that aren't biologically mine. I'm kind and like to help people when I can. I'm open minded and completely non judgemental. And my natural good looks have made me money. Wow, that sounds so big headed.

SeanMean · 12/07/2024 19:59

Having a bit of a tough day so can’t think of anything about myself but it’s lovely to hear the confidence in this thread-you all sound awesome! 🤩 ❤️

Allthehorsesintheworld · 12/07/2024 20:01

I’m good at organisation. And very good in a crisis. ( had too much practice)
Good with money too.

nietzscheanvibe · 12/07/2024 20:02

Brandnewskytohangyourstarsupon · 12/07/2024 12:26

Absolutely fuck all knocks me around for long.
Im as resilient as stone bastard henge.

Also a talented swearer.

Absolutely fuck all... I'll just leave it at that! 😆

ImWearingPantaloons · 12/07/2024 20:04

I'm funny, a great cook, loyal, reliable and no nonsense.

Also love organising getting people together socially

Berga · 12/07/2024 20:06

I will stick up for anyone that needs a bit of support. Definitely won't stand for unfairness. I'm really really stubborn, usually about the right things. I got through the majority of my life without knowing I'm neurodivergent, and I fucking rocked it despite everything.

I can grow strawberries and tomatoes with abandon and will feed anyone if they need it.

EmmaOvary · 12/07/2024 20:08

My superpower is finding great holiday deals and booking them on a shoestring. I’m funny. My hair is great (usually). I like my legs.
