As in the video in this article:

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Devil may care? grin

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

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

Oh shite. sad

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!

loopylou Sun 08-Mar-15 18:09:48

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

KatyK Sun 08-Mar-15 18:02:54

I am usually extremely negative about myself, feeling that I don't measure up. However after reading the positive posts above, I know in my heart I am -

Kind
Thoughtful
Compassionate

grumppa Sun 08-Mar-15 17:47:27

A happy hunk.

Oops, maybe I shouldn't be on this thread!

Above averagely bright.

I did an IQ test and that was the result. Above averagely bright suits me - glad not to be a genius. smile

Grannyknot Sun 08-Mar-15 17:16:20

Positivity jings positivity. smile We can always get on to 3 negative words... mine would be impatient, lazy and, er, can't think of another one! grin
