Can you name ten things

(85 Posts)

That you like about yourself
Physical attributes, or personality traits? I asked for ten because its hard to stick to three when it comes to songs or heartthrobs; but can everyone count ten reasons to feel good about yourself?

Pass

MissAdventure Mon 18-Sept-17 08:47:22

I was thinking that people would be able to do that far more easily. The minute I think of it a list starts to form in my mind! Would be hard pushed to stop at ten.

Cant think of a single thing ....now if you had said 10 worst things could do that 3 times over

Well, it has just gone 3 a.m., not sleeping and nothing else to do so here goes:

Devoted
Passionate
Funny (ha ha. not peculiar I hope)
Analytical
Empathetic
Sincere
Same with everyone
Strong - well, in the past, feel a bit dinged at the moment ...
Determined
And my hair is my 'best bodily bit!'

That was hard!

Nope, not one.

Nelliemoser Sun 17-Sept-17 22:24:27

I am not sure I could either.

BBbevan Sun 17-Sept-17 20:15:21

Optimistic, content, funny at times ( I am told), cheerful, artistic, intelligent, faithful, honest, tidy and so my GD1 says , a bit bossy.

DH says this not me

Much easier to say nice things about others than about ourselves I think our culture conditions us to do this. Not necessarily a good trait.

Grannyknot Sun 17-Sept-17 19:55:54

Oops that should be "crap" not autocorrected "stap".

Grannyknot Sun 17-Sept-17 19:55:07

I'm a simple soul, when someone asks me a question, I respond to it with an open mind.

However, I now feel stap about myself for blowing my own trumpet grin

This is like one of those awful sections on a CV when you have to state your personal qualities etc. Completely out of my comfort zone.

Chewbacca Sun 17-Sept-17 19:36:51

I'd have been shot down with a sharp retort of "You've always had big ideas about yourself", so find it best to say nowt now.

M0nica Sun 17-Sept-17 19:30:47

Maggiemaybe, I share your feelings and background. My grandmother's flattener, if anyone showed any delight in anything they achieved was: 'Your trumpeter won't die of overwork'

joannapiano Sun 17-Sept-17 19:02:19

I'm good with kids and animals. Still with DH after 47 years.
Can't think of anything else.

Marydoll Sun 17-Sept-17 18:55:14

Like some posters, I'm not comfortable with blowing my own trumpet. I wish I could do so, anonymous or not.

Maggiemaybe Sun 17-Sept-17 18:14:31

Yes, I can, but I won't. I've always been happy in my own skin and very confident, despite coming from a very British upbringing where the highest accolade would be "You'll pass in a crowd". grin

MissAdventure Sun 17-Sept-17 17:55:09

Very true.. grin

lemongrove Sun 17-Sept-17 17:53:18

which is quite possible?

MissAdventure Sun 17-Sept-17 17:49:00

wink but its anonymous, lemongrove. Nobody will recognise you, unless that is, they've always admired those same 10 qualities about you.

lemongrove Sun 17-Sept-17 17:46:25

Steady on Miss Adventure we are British you know!?
In other words, find it hard to big ourselves up in public.

gillybob Sun 17-Sept-17 17:37:13

I'm with you wot nothing whatsoever .

kittylester Sun 17-Sept-17 16:53:50

I wish I had known that I was reasonably attractive and when I was younger. I'm fairly happy with my looks now (and even my weight) but if I'd had that confidence when I was younger, I might have more dress confidence now.

I'm with Ana and am not comfortable listing my assets.

wot Sun 17-Sept-17 16:46:13

Absolutely nothing (I am a miserable old git!)

Scribbles Sun 17-Sept-17 16:41:01

Pretty eyes (or so I've been told)
Good legs
When asked for my honest opinion, I give it
Loyal
Reliable & trustworthy
Good organiser
Good cook
Cat lover
Good communicator
Confident (in the sense of not being shy or afraid of being in the spotlight)

Charleygirl Sun 17-Sept-17 15:25:36

Alive
Dry sense of humour
Self sufficient
Very competitive
Pleasant
Relaxed
Prefer animals to children
Also loyal, honest and trustworthy
Upholder of the law
Helpful to others
That is my lot I think- some who have met me on GN may not agree.
