Name one thing you actually kind of like about yourself.

[RileyTanaka]

Tall order for many of us, I know. I know my default is self-hatred. But if I can do it, so can you! I'll go first.

I actually have a pretty brave streak in me, and it's gotten me through some of the worst periods - homelessness, severe parental abuse, insane pressurized work environments. It's hard because it means ignoring (or suppressing) my other traits like sensitivity or fear, but I have been able to adapt quickly through many crises and still make it through. Friends and acquaintances frequently comment on this. If only bravery could reverse diseases and illness, then I'd be good.

Fight your self-consciousness and post here. You know you want to. :)

That shit is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s.

 

[Lost.]

My look. But it makes me more sad, when i see how good life i could have.

 

[Weightoftheworld]

I care about others more than I should, I'm very selfless.

 

[noaccount]

My body's natural refusal of the rhythms of work and industry.

 

[Marktheghost]

I'm a very caring person.

 

[Good4Nothing]

Been thinking about this... Still got nothing...

 

[Zozo]

I program phat beats.

I'm good at writing apparently? The other day I stumbled upon a story that I had written 2 years ago and I was completely surprised at how good my writing actually was, I couldn't believe it was me who had written that. Gave me a lot of confidence :)

 

[DeathNoot]

I'm good at painting (not walls, art lol)

 

[Deleted member 1465]

I'm told I have quite a charming smile

 

[MBlue]

Emphaty

... and I can paint walls, which, apparently, a lot of people can't.

I genuinely care about people and will go to almost any lengths to help them. People often comment about how kind I am.

My fucked up brain can't see this as a good thing, however, and I hate myself for it, because I feel that it stems from a pathological need to be liked.

Well it might not be such a good thing. It seems to be a common trait with poor, homeless and generally downtrodden people (only from my observations). Giving and helping should come from a place of abundance and strength. Altruism is not a very good survival strategy.

 

[nerve]

I hate littering!!

Easier said than done, I know, but don't believe your brain. You sound like a wonderful person and I'm sure almost everyone who knows you would agree with me :)

I genuinely can't paint walls, I did mine and its terrible lol. From all those things you listed you seem like a great person :)

 

[pete_x]

I'm blunt, except when i'm not.

 

[puppy9]

My looks. It's RBF but I love it.

 

[Pryras]

I will do anything for the person I love

 

[BlackPoppet]

I like my resilience. I'm still here despite everything that I've been through.

 

[DetachedDreamer97]

I am obsessive.

 

[K-O]

my extremely hairy legs!! when i cuddle up in bed its literally just like im next to my lover feeling him up..

[gymletethnicel]

That I am not a simp. That's the only thing I like about myself.

 

[HelensNepenthe]

I love animals, a lot. It's exemplified by my autism. While I struggle to understand emotions from others, I have a strong ability to understand how animals are. One of my favorite things is to squeeze both of my dogs together in this three-person-hug-thing every time I wake up. There's comfort when I talk with them. It drowns out any thoughts of CTB.

Isn't that cheating, making it look like 1 word to get round the rule about it being one thing that you like? :-)
