What do you love about yourself? (don't ignore this because you feel like the answer is "nothing"!)

curvedmanager74 June 30th, 2020

This can be an incredibly hard question to answer, especially when you feel like there's nothing to love about yourself. One time I was feeling really down and someone told me to think of 5 good things that happened that week and I struggled for a long time trying to list 5, but I felt better after I had done so.

So, list 5 things you love about yourself. Take as much time as you need.

Here's my 5 for inspiration:

1. My hair (the curls are great!)

2. I'm "unapologetically myself" (this is something a friend told me a few months ago and it really stuck)

3. My eyes (sure, they're a plain brown, but they're beautiful)

4. My growth mindset (I'm not perfect, and I know I can't be, but I'm always looking to grow and improve who I am)

5. My aesthetic (it doesn't take people long to know skulls and roses are my thing)

Great thread!

1. I'm empathetic

2. I see the good in people (this has gotten me into trouble but I maintain it's generally a good quality)

3. I'm sensitive (again, this can be a problem but I know it's a good thing - I'd rather be sensitive than not)

4. I'm resilient, been through quite a lot and I'm still here

5. I'm interested in learning (I hope I never think I know everything)

@Rosa9570 Everything's good in moderation. I can see how some of those might lead to trouble, but I agree with you when you say it's better to be sensitive and see good in people than to not

This is a tough one. Recently I tried an "art journal" entry that was similar. I tried to come up with personality traits that I liked. It was a struggle but I landed on how fiercely protective I am of my loved ones, my curiosity, and my empathy (although that has been tested in recent times. Never pour from an empty cup as they say- take care of yourself first!)

Wow, what a thread. I must say that I had to sit here for a few minutes before even thinking about what to write because I was just so weirded out by the idea. But here goes!

1. My willingness to learn

2. My ability to listen both to assist and also when someone is speaking on a topic I disagree with

3. My persistence to improve (mostly in ballet as that's what I'm training for)

4. My love of writing

5. My hair (though I wish it were curly, I think it's my favourite physical feature)

Hi! Woah this is difficult - but Im trying! Lol

1. I can eat very quickly. Its not like Im always rushing when I eat, but my normal speed is just...fast, compared to others. I dont know, but this makes me happy 😅

2. I think I sort of have a wide range of interests :p

3. My hair, I think its quite nice~

4. My handwriting!

5. My imagination, I guess? I think its quite broad and never-ending, sometimes surreal, but fun nevertheless xD

@Hydrangea03

LOL I also eat at an alarming speed. Sometimes I'll go to a movie theater with a friend and we share popcorn and it is honestly a struggle. Keep loving yourself! 💓

1. I love that I'm empathetic (although it's sometimes also a problem)

2. I love my short blue hair.

3. I'm very creative.

4. I love my gender identity and my sexual orientation, because I've had a long way to accept and embrace them.

5. I love my voice.

It's nice to be a bit positive today.
