moo Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 What are some things that you like about yourself? How are you going to make yourself feel better (non-destructive things)? I'll start. Things I like about myself: I'm nice, smart, giving, loving, involved in charity work, feel a real connection to the earth and it's animals, am a good kisser and a good lover. What will I do to make myself feel better: continue with my therapy, continue with my crafts, take walks, take pictures of nature, listen to cool jazz, and watch videos.
hrtbrk hotel tenant Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 1. smart,nice(but no nice guy) funny cool easy-going 2. pick up some hobbies read workout
marlena Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Moo, I confess that I like you very much (wrong thread- should be on the confession thread). OK, I´ll play. I like my fiery temperament (sometimes not though), I am intelligent, socially and politically aware, a good friend, sister, and mother, an avid reader and when I feel creative I write. I also like to travel as much as possible and mix with people from different cultures and walks of life. To feel better, I take luxurious baths (aromatotherapy), do my nails, rub my whole body with cream, get a masssage, do some yoga, go out for a walk when the weather is overcast and work on a novel I have started. Or I attend cultural events in my city, theatre, exhibitions, book presentations etc... I also love jazz and watching videos. Like you, I am a great kisser and lover (or so I have been told).
Lizzie60 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 What I like about myself: I'm a great mother (and grannie), a very good friend, I'm intelligent, funny, I have good genes (still look very young for my age, great body), my skin is amazingly soft (first thing guys notice), I am a good kisser and an amazing lover. What makes me feel good (better): Take a nice bubble bath, candles, soft music. Put on some sexy lingerie.. Go shopping... Long foreplays, lots of kissing everywhere...
marlena Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Looks like we girls have a lot in common! Vive les femmes!!
Thomas X Forever Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 What I like about myself? Not a whole lot anymore. Bet I can count it out on one hand. I have a gift of an uncanny understanding of psychology that evolved since childhood I've never cheated, and I'm nice; never broke up with a girl for another girl. And I used to be a model for Calvin klein. Oh, wow, look there. Only four fingers. Almost one hand. Damn self esteem
Giha Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I don't really like myself, but I guess I am a caring and loving person. I can't see myself cheating on anyone, ever. I will keep practicing on my guitar, hang with friends, workout..stuff like that
Author moo Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 Giha, maybe you should start developing a relationship with yourself and start liking yourself before you start a new relationship with someone else. I've been alone for many years in my life...most years of my life...off and on, but I also resented it. That played a huge part in me staying in bad relationships. Now, I'm learning to accept myself more and I'm trying to develop a relationship with myself.
Giha Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 moo, I too was alone most of my life. I'm not jumping into every relationship I can have. I don't say I hate myself, I just accept my flaws and if I can do something about them, then I will.
Author moo Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 I know you didn't say you hate yourself. But you said you don't like yourself much. Do you want to like yourself?
Thomas X Forever Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 moo is right. You do have to like yourself, before you can love anyone else. In fact, you have to LOVE yourself, before you can truly love anyone else. I, personally, have a love/hate relationship with myself. So, I have a 50/50 chance of loving someone else. Good enough odds
Exit Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I'm not too high on myself these days either. I used to feel so "centered", I knew exactly how I felt about so many aspects of life, even at the risk of appearing stubborn. These days I feel like I've lost myself a little bit, things like my determination and willpower have been greatly affected. I agree that you have to learn to like yourself first, and I am going to work on that.
Author moo Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 I'm going to add that I like the fact that I am a good dancer. Today, I will make myself feel better by going to meet with the job counselor so that I can more forward in my life. YAY me. Note: I added this thread so that we can talk about our good qualities. I hope no one sees this as bragging. I think if we can keep looking for the good qualities in ourselves PLUS do things to make ourselves feel better, we will be on our way!! YAY us.
confused192 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Thomas x forever: your post made me sad! I would bet you are an amazing guy! Things I like about me: - I am kind and caring - I am very smart - I always strive to be 100% honest with anyone and everyone because I greatly respect honesty in others - I have a great croup of friends who really "get" me - I do some modeling/acting and currently have an amazing contract with Nike. I truly feel fortunate. - I have a great sense of humor - I know more about sports than a lot of men, I smoke cigars and consider myself a beer afficionado (aka. not your typical girl) I like to spend time traveling (literally I travel every weekend for Nike, and I love it). I like to learn about new places and cultures. I live for great comedy. I like camping (real camping) and hiking and just being outdoors. I love sports of all kinds so I try to get to as many different sporting events as possible, favorites being football, baseball and the IRL. I like going horse back riding.
