As in the video in this article:

www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/03/06/women-describe-themselves-three-words_n_6815238.html?1425659749&ncid=tweetlnkushpmg00000067

I'll start: I am resourceful, friendly, clever.

Doesn't do us any harm to blow our own trumpets think positive!

Mishap Sun 08-Mar-15 18:24:52

Time to unbutton chloe - it's now or never!

I thought we were meant to be choosing positive things - if you want negative ones, I could be here all day!

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 08-Mar-15 18:27:09

Oh God! I can't think of anything good about me.

Oh shite. sad

Ana Sun 08-Mar-15 18:31:10

Devil may care? grin

KatyK Sun 08-Mar-15 18:34:22

No let's not start on negatives, I would use up the whole thread!

Grannyknot Sun 08-Mar-15 18:54:29

grumppa it doesn't say women only! Your three words are terrific.

loopylou Sun 08-Mar-15 18:57:53

Why are we more likely to describe ourselves negatively?
I know I'd find it easier to be negative, like OPs here, why?

KatyK Sun 08-Mar-15 19:06:41

I don't know why that is loopylou. I can think of many more negatives about myself than positives. I was chatting to my granddaughter this week (she is nearly 15). I can't remember what we were talking about but I was trying to do something which I couldn't get right and I jokingly said 'I think I'll run away' and she said 'don't do that nan, you are far too precious' grin I never imagine anyone thinks of me that way. Sorry, back to the original point.

Happy

Helpful

It IS hard, isn't it?

Starling Sun 08-Mar-15 22:12:40

annodomini but what about you, not your roles to others?
merlotgran sorry you feel that - but maybe your positive words could be things like trusting, helpful?

....I'm only analysing other people's because I can't think what mine are!

Maybe:

adaptable, resourceful, conflicted

ninathenana Sun 08-Mar-15 23:00:50
