Three things you love about yourself...

In light of the skinny vs fat threads, and all the doom and gloom going on in the world, I would like you to put three things you love about yourself!

Don't be modest, it could be a physical attribute, a talent you have, or the fact you make an amazing mushroom risotto. Anything really.

I'll go first:

  1. I have really full, perfect rosebud lips and straight white teeth. I love my smile in red lipstick!
  2. I've been told I'm very eloquent - I can say in 3 words what everyone else says in 100
  3. I throw a really good dinner party. When I actually make some effort it turns out I can cook. Top dish is a beef and red wine stew with wholegrain mash.

Hoping I get some replies or I will feel incredibly big headed 😂

  1. My voice - professionally this is an asset as I am told I put people at ease.
  2. I am resilient- important to say as sometimes difficult to be aware of as I brush myself off from yet another curve ball aka Covid.
  3. I write strong letters that advocate on behalf of others.

Loving the self love!

I'll go with, I'm a very loving Mother ( to human and fur babies!)
I appreciate the ability of taking the mick out of myself
I'm not massively house proud - I appreciate some would see this as a black mark, but I've grown to realise that fun, friends and family are much more important than cleaning.

I'm also hot as fuck

Great thread. Taken me some time to think about this - which is a great thing to do! Thank you for making me think about my good stuff for a change
I have good skin which makes me look younger
I am very loyal
I am very caring

I'm funny

Very resilient, see the positive in pretty much anything and bounce back from tough stuff very quickly

I have beautiful collarbones, shoulders and decolletage. Especially with a bit of a tan. Even I can see that it's very sexy bit of me Grin

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 09/06/2020 22:09
  1. I am good at giving presentations, chairing meetings, running workshops etc. I can get on with most work folk and they mostly seem to like me.
  2. I have lovely ankles, feet, hands and wrists.
  3. I can read faster than anyone I've ever met.
Pikachubaby · 09/06/2020 22:09
  • I am very calm in a crisis, i can switch off my emotions completely in an emergency and make calm rational decisions (then go to pieces a few days later Grin)
  • I am loyal and stick up for my friends
  • I am a big strong woman, and it has taken me years to learn to love this and to stop wishing for dainty-ness and being petite ...at 6ft it ain’t gonna happen.
GeorgiaWeLoveYou · 09/06/2020 22:11
  1. I am fiercely loyal.
  2. I don't take shit anymore.
  3. I give my all to things like relationships.

I have to admit, I found thinking of three things difficult.

VeniceQueen2004 · 09/06/2020 22:19

I am a good and loving mother.

I think very quickly and can articulate my thoughts well as I go along - I enjoy being in my own mind and putting things very quickly together.

I never get bored. In lockdown particularly I have realised what a blessing that is and how unusual.

Very nice idea for a thread OP. Although it's making me jealous of all these people with tumbling heads of natural flaming red curls Wink I have finally got a hairdressers appointment booked in next month and I can't wait to go back to my adopted colour, lockdown has been a chastening reminder of my mousey reality!!

My eyes.
My wit.
My confidence.

Fluffymulletstyle · 09/06/2020 22:24

This is a nice thread.

  • I am naturally happy, optimistic with good mental health. Coming from a family full of angst and some debilitating mental health issues I really appreciate that.

Calm is my naturally setting- particularly in a crisis

I have great, really low maintaince hair.

So many things I don't like about myself but I should be aware I'm very lucky.

Itsacakebaby · 09/06/2020 22:25

Like my dark eyes and thick dark hair (not many greys and nearly 50 😉)
Good at impressions and accents which my children seem to find funny
Am a loyal and trustworthy friend

Fluffymulletstyle · 09/06/2020 22:26

I like reading these, everyone has some special about them.

Magicra84 · 09/06/2020 22:34

My sense of humour is great, if I may say so! I'm really quite quick witted and my sense of humour has made me many friends over the years.

I've got a pretty face which is good. The rest of my body is pretty shit, size 24/26 but because of my face, I get noticed by men and I'm confident with my looks and body on the whole.

I'm caring by nature. I hate to see people upset. Sometimes I think I'm too caring and that's detrimental because I find it hard to walk away from toxic people if I feel they may feel hurt by my actions.
