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.

I have a great arse.

Great in the same sense as the Great Barrier Reef, meaning massive, but it's nevertheless spectacular.

I am very attached to it.

TheLastRoseOfSummer · 08/09/2016 15:55

MurunB Might sound like a stupid question, but I gave my arse as the thing I didn't like on the last thread.

I was always told I wouldn't be loved/wanted for many reasons, that being one of them. Has it ever been an issue for you?

Idratherbeaunicorn · 08/09/2016 16:00

I have very blue eyes, they're nice :)
I'd also like to think I'm quite witty and personable.

maggiethemagpie · 08/09/2016 16:17

I don't take any shit from anyone, if someone is treating me poorly then unless it's a one off with someone I have known a while , I generally just walk away, and it's taken me a long time to get to that point, in the past I would just assume it was all MY fault.

I like to think that I set high standards for myself, and the higher the standards I set the higher my self esteem, the higher my self esteem the more I maintain my standards.

It's a 180 from what I used to be like though so I'm proud of that.

It bothered me a bit when I was younger because I'm otherwise quite small and slim, so I look a bit like a centaur and I thought I looked odd. No one has ever been so rude and unpleasant to me as they seem to have been to you though. Those people sound horrible! I hope they don't still affect you?

I am more comfortable in my own skin now so have accepted it and quite like it, even though trousers never fit right!

TheLastRoseOfSummer · 08/09/2016 18:41

MurunB I'm not sure I'd have ever thought too much of it if my mum hadn't made such a big deal of it.

Other people have commented, but I couldn't even tell you if everyone was being unpleasant or not. I don't think I'm capable of hearing compliments, tbh!

Either way, still single. But thanks for answering. Was just curious.

CheeseToastie123 · 08/09/2016 19:30

I have beautiful eyes and a laugh that can silence a room.

I am seeking help for my current mental health storm, even though it is scary and painful to do so.

I like my natural hair colour now the white is winning. I also really like the nails on my little fingers.

I enjoy giving strangers compliments on their shoes / dress / bag / tie etc.

BaconAndAvocado · 08/09/2016 23:03

I generally have a very positive outlook.
I am a loving mum and wife.
I'm good at my job.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 09/09/2016 01:10

I can spin plates (that week at Butlins wasn't a waste of time Wink )

I'm a HCP so obviously I'm very kind, compassionate, caring and look good in my uniform

LikeDylanInTheMovies · 09/09/2016 02:08

Not a lot. Physically I look like I'm assembled from a spares bin of left over, body parts. Short arms and legs, big feet and head, mismatched ears and bad skin.

Although I do have nice coloured eyes, although I have heavy lids and wear glasses so few people get to see them. I have a thick head of hair and no sign of balding or going grey.

I've been pretty crap at most of the jobs I've had and can be excruciatingly shy in company.

BestIsWest · 09/09/2016 07:45

Good skin
Integrity
I'm a good mentor to younger colleagues.

SquidViscous · 09/09/2016 09:03

My laughter lines are marginally deeper than my frown lines.

BitchQueen90 · 09/09/2016 09:17

I look young. I'm only 26 but I often get mistaken for a lot younger. Hopefully this will continue into my 30s and 40s. Wink

I care about others. I'm very independent and I'm good in a crisis. I also have nice eyes (they're really bright green).

imwithspud · 09/09/2016 09:22

I don't like a lot about myself at present but I do like my hair. I don't really do much with it apart from straighten it occasionally - most of the time it's scraped back into a bun. But it's thick without being too thick, shiny and soft. My hair dresser always comments on how lovely my hair is and what good condition it's in too, gives me a boost.

MissHooliesCardigan · 09/09/2016 09:34

I'm fiercely loyal
I'm generous
People seem to find me easy to talk to
I have a very dry sense of humour
I am fab at grammar and spelling

user1457733204 · 09/09/2016 09:47

This is difficult today. Can't think of any particular stand out talents or character strengths but l usually manage to do ok at most things, so good breadth/balance perhaps??

Theask · 09/09/2016 09:49

I have a sense of humour and can laugh at myself
I am tall
I am good at making something out of nothing

Wafflenose · 09/09/2016 10:25

I always tell the truth (and hate being lied to).

I'm very motivated. If a job needs doing, I'll do it. I always have a project on the go!

I like writing and arranging music, and do loads of this for the children I teach, to get them up there performing and having fun.

Bigfatpicnic · 09/09/2016 18:42

Have no idea about the other thread, but

My moral compass points in the right direction.
I have a fantastic sense of humour.
Apparently I give great advice (maybe I should take my own advice sometimes!)
I am an incredibly loyal person to family and friends.

CauliflowerBalti · 09/09/2016 20:50

I am good at my job.

I look awesome in hats. All hats. Any hats. That's my superpower: the ability to suit a hat. It's a fairly rubbish one, but it's mine.

I have nice eyes.

I'm really good at giving blow jobs.

PanGalaticGargleBlaster · 09/09/2016 20:53

Let's have a hat off!

I will just trust you on the blowjob front

TheLastRoseOfSummer · 09/09/2016 21:05

Ooh, I give a pretty good blowjob too.

Just no one wants to get that close... (I might have been drinking)

plominoagain · 09/09/2016 21:11

I am bloody amazing in a crisis . Never ever go to pieces , no matter how dire the situation .

I can conjure meals for seven out of virtually empty cupboards , and make it look like they were planned instead of thrown together in desperation .

PanGalaticGargleBlaster · 09/09/2016 21:11

How do you two know, are you on tripadvisor or something?
