Joebo Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Well, here it is. I've been reading Sedgwick's latest thread about self esteem and its something that a large contingent of us are lacking in at the minute. So...get typing and post the things that you like about yourself here! It can be things that your friends/family say or things that you feel are positives about yourself. So, go on, big yourself up! Lets hear it. Don't hold back and don't be shy! I already feel a little better having started this thread. I will go first.... 1) People say that I have a big personality. I am good fun and have good banter. 2) I'm generous almost to a fault. 3) I will go out of my way to help others. 4) I am fiercely loyal to my friends. 5) I am possibly the best looking man alive! (Ok, you got me...I added that one in myself but you can't blame a guy for trying... )
LOVE DAISIES Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Hmmmm.. I'm fun to be around I am positive I'm attractive I am funny (or I think so) I am successful (own a business) I am a very loyal friend I am compassionate I'm a good listener I am generous And with ALL that said..I am also very humble
Crestfallen_KH Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Well, seeing as I how I strive to be a woman who is "full of herself" I'll chime in too. 1) I love my height 2) I'm very intelligent 3) I have excellent problem solving skills and reasoning ability 4) I am financially responsible and have a great career 5) I am a good listener 6) I am very empathic, compassionate and generous to friends and family 7) I love my breasts, smile, feet and hair and like the way I look 8) I am hard working and don't flee from challenges 9) I am honest, almost to a fault 10) I've never done anything that has gone against my own moral code; I've even quit a job on principle when I felt they wanted me to lie 11) I have been a good friend, was a good wife, and am a good girlfriend 12) I know when to give up and not to give up on people 13) I have a killer sense of humor and can usually get people laughing 14) I am confident, can speak in front of large groups and am outgoing 15) I love and care for animals 16) I learn quickly and can easily adapt to new situations 17) I'm not afraid of what others think and I genuinely like myself 18) I have a lot to offer the right man 19) I can draw and write well 20) I know that I am still capable of learning, each and every day; I know I don't know it all I guess that's enough for now...
sedgwick Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 uHhhhhh....okay. 1. I'm pretty funky for a white girl. Which is to say, I can dance. 2. I can kick anybody's ass in a spelling bee. 3. I design and knit my own clothes with yarn I dye by hand. 4. I know a whole lot about film. 5. I've rescued animals off the street and saved their lives (this is probably my favorite thing about myself.) 6. I finished grad school. Okay, there are a few.

Lizzie60 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Shrek, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lopez were having lunch one day. Shrek said: 'I always thought I was the strongest man on earth, but how can I be sure?' Brad Pitt said: 'I'm pretty sure that I am the sexiest man alive, but how can I be sure'. Jennifer Lopez answered: 'They say I am the most beautiful woman on the planet, but sometimes I doubt it'. So they decided that the best way to find out was to pray that night and ask God to confirm that Shrek was the strongest, Brad was the sexiest and Jennifer the most beautiful. They agreed to meet the next day to discuss it. The next day, Shrek came in with a big smile: 'It's true, God told me I was the strongest'. Brad smiled and said : 'Yes, I am the sexiest'. Jennifer looked up with tears in her eyes said: 'Who's that Lizzie?'
LucreziaBorgia Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I am: a great mom resilient a good listener great in bed - an intuitive lover a good artist imaginative supportive and nurturing a person with a sharp wit a good writer strong
MakeLemonade Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I am funny. I am analytical. I am a better mom than I ever thought I could be. I am a hard worker. I know how to pamper me. I love life, and appreciate all the good things in it. I believe all (at least most) people are inherently good and try to live my life with that belief. I learn everyday, the day I stop learning is the day I die. I am not perfect. I work each day to be a better person. I work each day to be a better wife. I love my husband, my twin boys (2 years old - soo cute and fun), my family, my friends, my pets, my job. I try to show that love as much as I can. I know everyone deserves a second chance. And I give it to them. I am generous with those I love, like and know, and even strangers when it feels right and I am able. Cool thread Joebo - me likey.

Nomad1 Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Self-esteem is a component of self-concept and has many categories....Just because a relationship ends does not necessarily mean that you begin to question your self-worth in all aspects of your life. You may have a brilliant career, be the most popular guy among your circle of friends, be a very good parent, be very handsome etc. etc. and still be unfortunate to have a partner who decides to cheat with a total loser. A determinant of your self-esteem is your resilience and what you do to deal with the aftermath of a break-up, particularly when other people are involved, eg. children as in my case. The outcome may actually be a positive one, hence a more positive evaluation of oneself. Nomad1
Pyro Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I have such high self-esteem and confidence for myself that I see no reason to list anything about myself.

shadowofman Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I am just slightly above average. There are 3 billion people more handsome, taller, smarter, better sense of humor, more successful, fitter, better endowed, etc. But there are 3.5 billion that I have the advantage on. I have no insecurities about being average. While I can say I wish I was all those things, I can say that I am way comfortable being the way I am. But I do have the best taste.
Ocean-Blue Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 But I do have the best taste. Lots of pineapple juice, hmmm? :bunny: Some things I like about myself: - I have nice teeth - I have a pretty nice figure - I am loyal to those I love - I wear my heart on my sleeve - if someone is sincere, I always forgive

I can sing I am a published poet I can tell if you are lying even if it isn't me you are lying to which helps me be Great at figuring out people's motives Which gets me accused of Reading minds (I really can't, I just follow your train of thought backwards) I know tons about plants and flowers I am innovative and it is a family trait; we have patents and tons of rigged up oddities! I can survive if stranded in the wilderness without water or matches. I am a good friend; I will help you get rid of that pesky corpse! I always win at Risk, Truth or Dare, and Rock/Paper/Scissors.
Trialbyfire Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I never cry, during a waxing. I do okay, when I gamble. I have cleaning OCD. I cannot live in a disorganized mess. Sometimes I wonder if I have ADHD.
