always_searching Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 As the title suggests, list your top five best qualities. They can be an aspect of your character, a personality trait, a quark, or even a physical trait. Rather than wallowing on our shortcomings, I figured this could be a fun exorcise to appreciate yourself. Here are mine: 1. I genuinely care about people: I am extremely empathetic, and usually understand people pretty well, if I so choose. 2. I am very giving: I would give the coat off my back to someone who really wanted/needed it. 3. My sense of humor/laugh: even when life is its most difficult, I absolutely get the joke. Laughter is the best medicine. 4. My ability to captivate people: I don't often draw on this strength, because I find it manipulating, but I am naturally pretty good at charming people, even if what they're captivated by is a facade. 5. My hands: slender fingers and good nails, they're my favorite body part. (This one was more difficult, as my neck/clavicle ran a close race.)
strength-abounds Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 1. I am proud to be a God fearing man. 2. I love my family to the end of time. My family has been there for me during my divorce and I would walk to Hell and smack the devil for my family. 3. I love the fact that I kept my morals and my conscience when others told me not to. 4. I am proud of my new body shape, especially my shoulders. Since hitting the gym on a regular basis, I have better shoulder definition and I am able to perform better on my job. 5. I am proud of my brutal honesty. Although I may offend someone when asked a question, the person can be self assured it's the truth and I am not two-faced.
skydiveaddict Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) I can only think of one: Serving in the Nat'l Guard. I get to go to far away war torn countries and come back a mental case. I will say that life is getting better, however, so maybe that's two good qualities. Edited October 31, 2010 by skydiveaddict

But focusing on those negative traits is probably not really good for self-improvement and personal well being...

I'm sorry to hear the coming back a mental case bit. If it helps, I'm a mental case, and I lack a good reason (such as yours) for it. If you ever want/need to chat, pm me, skydiveaddict!

If it helps, I'm a mental case, and I lack a good reason (such as yours) for it. If you ever want/need to chat, pm me, skydiveaddict! Who really knows the reasons? Stress, family life, broken relationships, work, war, chemical issues in the brain. I don't think you lack a good reason. It can happen to anyone. That's what my doc told me anyway. I will pm you , thanks. Edited November 1, 2010 by skydiveaddict
josie54 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 1. intelligent 2. creative 3. resourceful 4. self-sufficient/financially responsible 5. empathetic I think those are my five! Sadly, "loving" isn't one of them--always had trouble with that one. So if I were to have a big negative, it's that I'm the most social anti-social person you'll meet. I love to be part of a group but I hate having to talk to anyone--that kind of works at cross purposes. So rather than having to make conversation, I often prefer to be alone. I'm still working on that one.
