Name two things you like most about yourself

Ok. I am pretty new here, even though I have obviously posted enough across the boards to earn the title of a regular. That in itself is telling!:eek

I am a refugee from WritersNet, and the only thing I miss about it is the forum called Smoko, for they talk about most anything under the sun.

It' Sunday morning, everyone in the house is asleep but me, and I feel like being chatty. But the only real action is in the PA thread.

This forum was described as anything not related to writing, so I posted the above question. Maybe some other Sunday early birds will join me here.

I guess first I must answer the question I posed to everyone else. But I didn't think of my own answer before I typed in the question, so, let me see.

mmmmhhhh, Maybe I should have thought of an easier question?8o

My sense of humor and my tenacity.

Ok, your turn.

Wow, Denise, that's a hard one. If you'd asked what two things I hate about myself, I could probably give you a hundred. I guess the two things I like about myself are these:

My strength in the face of adversity. I've had some rough knocks, but I know that whatever happens, I'll always be okay.

My loyalty. I am deeply loyal to my friends and family.

Good, thought provoking thread.

Enjoy your peace and quiet today!

Re: RE: Name two things you like most about yourself

Just two? I can go on all day making the list.

:rollin

(Really, I believe in positive thinking. If you can't tell youself something good about yourself all day, then you're not loving yourself enough)

Re: RE: Name two things you like most about yourself

Sense of humour and tact (though one or two folks might argue my grasp of the latter.)

I like my determination and (usual) goodnaturedness.

Hmm. Maybe I just used a non-word there, but oh well.

You know, maestro, I have to completely agree with that. There was a time that I had the hardest time accepting complements without explaining them away. It's hard to get over that and what you said too. But it is oh-so-worth it!

Re: RE: Name two things you like most about yourself

Interesting question.

I would say my intelligence and sense of humor.

Re: RE: Name two things you like most about yourself

Maestro is right. If I am in a bad mood, usually brought on by rejection in some form, usually attached to my writiing, :eek I can turn that around pretty quickly by telling myself to be gentle with me, that I am a great person, and smiling, scientifically proven to change your brain waves, or something scientificy like that!

Re: RE: Name two things you like most about yourself

Good question. I like what maestro said, but I do have trouble telling myself good things about me. Two of my "good" qualities, hmmmm. I'm loyal to my family, sometimes too loyal, and I enjoy helping others reach their goals.

I hope most of us like ourselves enough to find at least two things. Loyalty to others, family and friends alike or you receive none in return and............................................, that's hard. I guess the willingness to try anything-even writing that first novel.

Re: RE:Name two things you like most about yourself

Peacekeeper...loyalty.

I think it's probably more along the lines of conditioning. We're taught not to brag too much, so a lot of times we don't say anything at all, even when we're justified in saying it.

Re: RE:Name two things you like most about yourself

This is difficult in that it feels like bragging, though it shouldn't.

Definitely my sense of humour. I LOVE to make people laugh.

And my sense of compassion. Bill Clinton's got nuttin' on me for feeling the pain of others. I say 'ow' when my wife bangs her elbow.

Re: RE:Name two things you like most about yourself

I like my generosity and my unique-ness.

It took me a while to embrace the latter quality, but now it is the one I am most proud of.

1. Weigh with words
2. Flip flop socks

Re: RE:Name two things you like most about yourself

Bragging be damned.

My two things...

I'm gorgeous. And I'm also gorgeous.


There. You're happy now?

Re: RE:Name two things you like most about yourself

You are quite a cutie! 8o (don't worry, I have kids your age!)

RE: Maestro

I have to agree with you there, Ray. I checked out your website, and yep--you're a hottie!

My empathy -- sometimes I understand another person's motives so well that I surprise us both.

My likelihood to be willing to apologize first unless you are my husband in which case it was all your fault why should I apologize unless you did last time in which case it must be my turn so okay, I'm sorry.

I wanna change mine!

I'm better looking than Ray and I sometimes tell the truth.

Well, many of you know I'm Ray's twin brother. Just don't tell his -- I mean our -- mom that she has a 5'6" 240lb red-headed Irish son living in the mountains of Canada.

My good qualities: I'm loyal, and I've recently discovered the secret to success: Well-groomed eyebrows.

I swear.

Julia Roberts' career took off after she trimmed hers down.

So did mine.

Therefore, it is a fact.

Thinner eyebrows = success.

I'll scan a recent shot someday soon.

Okay.

Here's a recent shot of me:



Two things I like best about myself?

That hair gel.

That cool cool breeze.

HConn--I like a guy who isn't afraid to wear a skirt. Very nice! But I do miss the coconut shells.

I like my curiosity and also that I'm a bit goofy.
