Name 3 Things You Like About Yourself

[sunstone]

1. I have very good fine motor skills; this has many applications.
   2. I am kind and considerate of others.
   3. I am known as a person who can grow just about any exotic/difficult plant.

[freckafree]

1. I am 51 and have not a single gray hair, and I am often told that I have very nice skin.

2. I’m a low-maintenance, can-do kind of person. I don’t get freaked out when things get sprung upon me at the last moment, and I’m good at figuring out the best way to handle that which has been sprung.

3. I’m a good writer. I’m a good choral singer. I make jewelry that people readily buy, or, if they don’t buy, often say things like, “This is amazing! I’ve never seen anything like it!”

Linky? (not to the commentary, but to the jewelry?)

[li]Name something physical you like about yourself (please avoid talking about the size of your sex organs). I really like my eye color. They’re a dark indigo blue and look very pretty with black hair and quite pale skin.[/li][li]Name something you like about your personality. My odd sense of humor.[/li][li]Name something you like about your activities/skills/creativity. There’s very few crafts I won’t try to do. Even if all I ever do is read about a craft, I’m still happy that I know something new.[/li][/ol]

1. I have reasonable hand/eye co-ordination.
2. I’m generally kind to small animals and children.
3. I can turn lead into gold.

[Two_Many_Cats]

1. I like my feet. They’re strong and well shaped. Also they are enormously useful as all the toes spread apart and I can pick up things with them. If I lose my arms, I’ve got nothing to worry about.

2. I like my honesty. Even in difficult situations, I always try to phrase things so that they are at least technically true. Telling an outright lie would make me unable to sleep for days.

3. I like my writing. This one makes me sad, because I haven’t written in awhile. It’s still there, I just have to revive it again.

[tumbleddown]

1. I have very strong arms. I can lift heavy things with them.
2. I’m a good listener, and give pretty good advice to people.
3. I’m told I’m a pretty good (fiction) writer and I get a lot of joy out of writing.

[Viridiana]

1. I think my hands are pretty.
2. I never lie to myself, or anyone else, pretty much.
3. I love the stuff I make up, whether story ideas, songs or pictures.

[Hazle_Weatherfield]

1. I love my feet! My toes are perfectly graduated, big down to pinkie and they just look nice!
2. I am so openminded and empathetic that it hurts!
3. I have a great sense of humor and am great with children.

What a great thread!

[HazelNutCoffee]

I have good skin, which I inherited from my mom.

I’m pretty empathetic.

I’m a good teacher. I love teaching people things.

And thanks for the “majorly cool” shout, I rarely get that in my life. Where were you when I was in high school anyways?

What years were they? Unless this is a clever way to ask me out on a date or to take a paternity test -------- in which case I never heard or Cecil Adams or the SDMB. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Not a date or a paternity test - I believe you’re a male so thusly don’t swing that way (and, if I miscalculated your gender, I’m married, sadly. )

Just a comment that no one ever called me “cool” in high school, ever. Would have appreciated a few people like you around then who recognized that I was cool. (Well, according to you, still am.)

To interject, I find that people who were “cool” in high school, often never graduate from being a high schooler. They kind of peak there and so are always trying to stay there.

Those of us freaks, geeks and nerdlings who achieve coolness recognition after high school tend to fare so much better.

So I’m glad you were not deemed cool then - cause we get to benefit from your coolness now!

1. There is nothing physically to like about myself. The proof is in I’ve never had a girlfriend.

2. My personality sucks too. The proof is in the fact that I have no friends.

3. Got none of these either. I’m a dumbass college dropout who’s nothing more than a worthless piece of shit. Too bad I don’t have the spine to off myself.

I’m sorry you feel that way about yourself. But I don’t think “never had a girlfriend” says much about you physically. Your body is useful for other things, as many posters have mentioned.

[Electric_Warrior]

1. I have a great hourglass figure.
2. I’m very easygoing, and I’m polite and friendly to everyone I meet.
3. My piano improvisations are pretty kickin’!

mookie, since I can’t send you a PM, let me just say: Please go talk to your doctor or therapist. Tell them what you’ve said here. If they say anything along the lines of “Come on, it’s not that bad,” or “I know you don’t really believe that,” or “You need to change your outlook on life,” then ask to be referred to another therapist who will help you. If you’re not on medication, ask about medication. If you’re already on medication, ask whether it’s working the way it’s supposed to. You have a disease, as obviously as if you had chicken pox, and you need to get it treated correctly.

ETA: For everyone who’s thinking, Geez, overreact much?: note that this is largely in response to his other thread.

Yep, I agree with you in light of the other thread.

I’m married too ------- and sometimes sad about that. Not too often but it happens. Most any other girl I ever dated would have beaten me to death in my sleep long ago so I figure I got lucky with the one I have.

I didn’t get much appreciation in high school either but I had a good circle of my old friends and a great family; that made up for it. I was a transplant from a more rural area where things were more literal and, in some ways, honest. I also started working at the local Harley shop when I was 16 - which wasn’t long after we got here. Take the average white suburban high school kid and put this hick in front of him who hangs out with outlaw bikers and cops all the time ------- and its like a sign from Nature saying “do not approach”. I managed though.
And while we’re talking words ---- I want to share one from my late BIL. My wife and I lived together for 22 years before we got around to getting married. When we first moved in together, we were very late teens and my BIL was like a high school freshman. When we were breaking the news to her parents, they were OK but not totally fine with it and my FIL had this look of concern. I nudged a little and he finally said what was bothering him most -------- how was he supposed to describe me to his friends and relatives? Boyfriend? Husband? Room-mate? (This was back before SO had really gotten common as a term)

My BIL suddenly got this big happy look on his face and said “I got it!!! You’re my Pseudo-brother-semi-in-law!!!”

That broke everyone up and made the whole thing comfortable. The next Sunday at church that was basically how my FIL introduced me to the Priest – his pseudo-son-semi-in-law. The “word” never caught on but I used it proudly for 22 years.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

I like being tall and having a nice smile.

I’m open-minded and friendly to just about everybody.

If you need someone for a trivia game to answer questions about history, politics, flags, heraldry, Tolkien, Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek or militaria, I’m your man!
