What do you like about yourself?

[notmaryberry]

Following on from another thread which I found quite upsetting I thought it would be nice to say something positive about yourself.

I have really good skin and people often think I'm younger than I am. I also think I am a nice person with good morals.

Honesty... always the best policy even when it gets me into trouble
Hair.. I've never had a bad hair day

I'm intelligent, witty and assertive. Hello, all you glorious women!

I'm happy in my own skin and my own company. I'm far from perfect but I like me.

I see the good before the bad in most people and situations.

I've recently learned how to balance going the extra mile to help people without being a doormat.

I'm good at problem solving and perspective.

I enjoy making people smile.

I am kind and compassionate. Sometimes I feel like I'm anything but from the way people treat me but I would truly do anything to help anyone if I possibly can.

I like my big bottom... Even when I dieted it stuck around.

I'm a really fun mum, and am my kids' moral compass.
I make my DH laugh and in his eyes I'm the most beautiful woman in the universe.
Some of my students have told me I'm that one special teacher who has made all the difference.
I feel very grateful for all the love I have in my life.

I'm easy-going, I'm open-minded and accepting. I'm a good friend - I'm loyal and can be trusted with a secret. Apparently I'm quite a good storyteller too.

I am very resilient.
Despite what life has thrown at me I have managed to go forward

I've got fab, squishable boobs.
I will always look for the positive.
I can explain hard stuff without patronising.
I decided I wanted to be a good cook and taught myself how to!
I'm fiercely independent - doing things alone holds no fear for me.

I have the magic ability to stop a baby from crying by smiling at them. It works at least 80% of the time and I always get a kick out of it.

Oh and I've got a nice small waist.

I'm 39 and I have no fillings or missing teeth

I like that I can make a really tasty meal out of the leftovers in my fridge. This doesn't really compensate for the feelings of failure that I have spent my entire adult life dedicated to bringing up my four (now adult) children who all have severe mental health problems and are desperately unhappy.

I said this on another thread. I could critique myself, there are things that aren't enviable about me, but I am the person I actually hoped to be, minus a few things I wanted but with the addition of a few things I hadn't anticipated. I will not look back on my life in another 20 years and wish I'd realised then how good I have it now. I will know this now and daily and instead I will look back in 20 years and be relieved that I had the wherewithall to learn to enjoy being who I am.

Sorry
Didn't mean to lower the tone. Just a bit down tonight

Great thread ... I'm not good at this, but here goes ...

I'm 52, but people think I'm much younger, like late thirties.

I make people laugh.

I've got long legs.

Slim legs, nice skin that has never had spots, straight white teeth and naturally thick hair. I am also very motivated, determined and caring. Quite nice to think of the positives for a change!

I have really strong nails.

I have a great bum & fantastic nipples.

I make amazing chocolate brownies.

I am a loyal friend.

I have lovely eyes, long legs, shiny hair, I'm funny, reliable, loyal & easy to chat to.

I make the best chocolate brownies you will ever taste, I have comedy-enormous boobs and I'm a really good friend. I always have wine.

I love this thread. But isn't it odd how uncomfortable it feels to post very positive things about yourself?! Or it is for me!

I'm beautiful. I have been blessed with waist length, curly, fiery red hair and I adore it. I'm not small but I love my body. It is capable and strong, but sensual and curvaceous. I'm great in bed, I enjoy giving pleasure. I'm intelligent. I am a good Mum and a fantastic GF (my BF says anyway!). I am a very good cook and a reasonable artist. I am kind and generous and I make people laugh.

I care about wildlife and the environment and say so a lot. I'm good at quizzes. I'm good at putting people at their ease. I'm a great aunt and sister.

That's a GREAT aunt rather than great aunt :o

I'm not easily shocked, which seems to mean people tell me some craaaaazy secrets. And I'm very very good at keeping secrets.
I have a flat tummy even after two children.
I have teeny weeny boobs so they never get in the way, unlike my mum who always drops her dinner on hers!
I'm mega organised and have a great memory for dates so don't need a calendar or diary.

It's nice thinking of good things rather than all the rubbish bits, thanks OP X
