We’ve had a couple threads about shortcomings, so let’s take a few minutes to be happy about yourself. Why are you awesome? What about you DOESN’T need changing/fixing/adjusting?

Keep your answer handy for the next bad day :-)

    I guess I ought to start… lol… I’m awesome because I’m honest, accepting, and adaptable (meaning I’ll go along with most anything my friends want to do except for very few situations where something aggravates my health, like too much smoke)

    My Doctor was just telling me I needed to start talking about my positive attributes... Funny.

    I am patient, smart, a good listener, understanding, funny(at least I like to think I am :P), thoughtful, can cook, punctual. driven, and loyal(almost to a fault).

    I spent almost a whole month every day saying something awesome about myself already so I'm a little exhausted from talking about how great I am, haha...

    But to summarize, I'm honest, hardworking, thoughtful, intelligent, open, good with money, I have a wide variety of interests, and am always ready to trying something new. Oh, and my DSL are pretty awesome too! Even online guys tell me I must be a great "kisser", HAHAHA!

    Sadly, it's often easier to think of negatives rather than positives.

    I am awesome because I have chosen to not let life just happen to me. I choose to make my life the best it can be, whatever that is. I have fought fear to do whatever I think will bring me future happiness, like moving all by myself across county to a place where I had no friends or family to pursue my career.

    I am awesome because I refuse to let my happiness be dependent on another person or fate.

    I am awesome because I have lost 35 pounds after suffering hypothyroidism for far too long and I'm determined to be as healthy and fit as I can. I have come back from the edge of obesity into a normal weight range and I feel empowered.

    Yet, you did not share why you think you are awesome, Prahasaurus. :tongue: Are you trying to leave it up to us to come up with our own reasons?

    The past few weeks I've been walking/cycling around and guys have stopped to tell me that I was beautiful or just give me the biggest smile and whistle. These were cute guys too, not the usual slimey old men that usually do it lol.This is me without making the least bit effort in my appearance, no make up, no dressy clothes, hair tied up in a mess and still got hit on. Hellll yeeh! I still got it XP

    I know this seems superficial but it feels good because my ex use to call me fat and ugly. Too ashamed to take me out to meet his friends even. Well, he can eat his words :)
