Can you share one thing that you like about yourself? Even if it's hard to find one?
Okay guys, new question.
What is one thing you like about yourself? It can be something tiny - like maybe your eyes or your smile, or the fact that for some reason you're just really really good at driving or making coffee or something like that.
For me, I think it is that I'm a good teacher, even though I feel like depression would make that impossible.
I like the fact that i go out of my way to compliment people and make them feel good about them. Despite the fact that they think im only doing it so they feel obligated to say a compliment back.
Hmm, I like the fact that I've been able to make friend with people from several different countries~ ^^ It makes for a neat experience.
I can also make pretty fantastic banana bread. xD
@mimameid
I wish I could eat some of your banana bread! It sounds great! Also, i'm glad you make friends with people from other countries. It's so great to be friends with those who are different than us!
@heatherh11
Definitely~ It really does broaden our minds and perspectives a bit. And we're always learning something new ^^
Nice idea for a thread, @heatherh11! Well done!
One thing I like about myself is that I'm an avid reader and can "swallow" books in one day ^^ Even if sometimes reading is hard when you struggle with depression, for me it's worth the hustle.
My favorite thing about myself is my hair. It's really curly and dark brown (although it's currently dyed black). I like playing with my curls when I get bored. The only bad thing is that it tangles a lot and if i brush it it gets really frizzy , but I think it defines my personality and how I feel every day.
@heatherh11 One thing that I like about myself is my need to be supportive for others. Even if I am having a bad day, I try to ask people around me how they're doing and if they're okay. I don't like to talk about myself too much, so I'll answer whatever questions people may have, then ask those questions back to them. I've learned from experience that, when someone consistently checks up on you to make sure you're okay, it usually means that THEY are not. To clarify... My sister has struggled with an eating disorder for years, so, when she texts or visits, I make sure to ask her how she's doing. She doesn't like to talk about her eating disorder. I know it's hard for her to open up to people, but I hope to gain her trust someday and be there for her. She always wants to know how I am, and I've taken that as a sign that, perhaps, she needs someone to return the favor. I let her know that I'm always here for her.
That's just an example of how I try to help others. I am someone who "flies under the radar," as my principal says. People do not neccessarily see my struggles or my pain, but I still have the urge to reach out to others if I feel that they may be upset over something. I like to examine people closely for signs that they aren't okay. Usually, asking another person if they're okay can be a discrete cry for help. I feel that I HAVE to talk to them in any way that I can, and that's what I like about myself. I like that I am willing to drop my own physical and mental health so that I may help someone else.
I am kind.
I'm Just Very Nonjudgmental Person. I'm Very Calm And Laid Back Person πππ»
βββββI guess I like that I smile at other people and make them feel good even when im not feeling good myself
