What Do You Like About Yourself And..?

[Shadolus]

...What do you dislike, and would like to see yourself improve upon?

 

[Tink]

I like, no LOVE, my sense of humor. It's the best thing about me other than my love of Jesus.

And the thing I dislike the most (right now) is that I too often let the negative get me down when I have so much to be thankful for.

 

[Inkachu]

I like: my intellect, my passion, my strength, my artistic talents, my humor, my ability to love, my selflessness, my curiosity, and my go-against-the-grain mentality.

I dislike: my impatience (die!!), my impulsiveness, my difficulty in connecting with strangers, my angst and depression, my fears, my stupid moments.

 

[LadyOfMystery]

God has blessed me so much, that I am thankful for everything about myself. I have gotten over things i can't change, and have become more patient over things that will take time to change. So right now I am in a place where I love everything about myself, even the things I want to change but can't at the moment.

The things that I'm being patient on and hoping to change is my weight.

 

[Reborn_in_Christ2003]

I like the fact that I I can be patient and understanding. I dislike that I can be late, I'm lazy, and don't find the time to work out.

 

[HazelWings]

I love the fact that I've learned to laugh at life instead of cry.

I hate my body.

 

[toastface_grillah]

I love my sharp wit and sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek sense of humor.

I hate how easily I can "fly under the radar" despite my above strengths.

That's awesome that you have a good sense of humor! That's a definite plus when it comes to relationships and laughing off the hurt we sometimes go through. I also understand the negative influences and the hold they can have over us. God has given us so much to really be happy about but we seem to shrug it aside and focus on all the things that aren't right in our life. Sara, I think a lot of it comes from practacing being grateful, everyday waking up and making it a point to praise God for all He has provided us. Definitely not an easy process. I know I have a lot to learn.

Super cool that you understand your strengths so well, that makes for a confident girl! Sounds like you've had a lot of growth over time. I don't know you personally but from what I've read from your posts you certainly have gone through some experiences, some of which I bet were hard but taught you a lot. I can relate to some of your dislikes. I have a very difficult time taking the initiative to meet and connect with other people. I have this weird trait that makes me think they should get to know me, not me them. It's not the mentality God wants from me so hopefuly we can change in this. I know God will give you all your desires, hang in there and be strong. Feelings, depression... we all have them, but God will see you through. Remain in Him, trust Him, cry out to Him... All the darkness will recede, and the good will come pouring in, giving God much glory.

God has blessed me so much, that I am thankful for everything about myself. I have gotten over things i can't change, and have become more patient over things that will take time to change.

Thanks for sharing. We can all tell through your thoughts here on these forums that your special. God is definitely working on you, it is apparent. God has a way of not giving up on us. Whatever your personal struggles I know He will be persistent in your life. Eventually, all the hard work you put in will pay off in blessings, even if it just means being obedient and waiting. Investments have results and being patient in God's presence tends to have some pretty exciting results!

I like the fact that I I can be patient and understanding. I dislike that I can be late, I'm lazy, and don't find the time to work out.

Wow, haha I know exactly what you mean about finding the time to work out man. The hardest part is getting started and to take baby steps, eventually it will become routine. Though I'd be a hypocrite if I told you this is what I have done... still a working progress here!

I love the fact that I've learned to laugh at life instead of cry.

I hate my body.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. I get like that a lot. I remind myself of Solomon's wisdom when he describes beauty as fading and to try and focus on others. It is so hard though!! Prayers are with you... keep on laughing, but remember its ok to cry once in a while.

I wish I had sharp wit. You are lucky brother. When I'm in circumstances where people are joking, especially being sarcastic I find myself wishing I had jokes to contribute but it's not until like 2 hours later I think of something funny! LOL. So in essence, that's a nice skill to have man. I also doubt you go under the radar, we all feel like that at times. It would be nice to have more people to encourage us though, it can be rare at times. This is why I try to be that encourager because I know people can use someone to lift them up and acknowledge them.

 

[SplendidTree]

I like my love for Jesus and how prayerful I am for the most part. I like my smile.

I dislike how sometimes I take things too personal. I also kind of dislike how I stopped working on my weight loss but hey at least I only gained like not even 2 pounds lol Also I tend to get blond moments....

 

[Amber.ly]

Interesting thread...

I am fond of my ankles (inside joke) and the fact that I take people at face value.

I dislike that I take people at face value and my height.

 

[Blueforest]

I like my height and my personality.

I am working to change a few things in my life, like motivation, confidence and physique.

 

[Nooj]

I like my nose. It's flat as a pancake, like someone's punched me in the face!

 

[Sapphyre]

To the first, not much. I suppose patience. I've worked and prayed for it and it's been recognized as of late.

To the second, focus, confidence, wisdom... the list goes on.

 

[Nom De Guerre]

I love pretty much everything about me, the only thing I'd like to improve upon is my career; but, hopefully that changes in May.

 

[TakeOverMe]

I like my calves. It doesn't require much training to make them look strong. I also like my ambition to be successful in all that I do.

 

[MehGuy]

Hmmm well I like my face and my tendency to do things out of the norm, even if it will probably leave me alone in the end, maybe possibly even very hated by others more than people do now.

What I don't like about myself are things like height and skinny weight. I also wish I had more stability mentally wise.

You're definitely not alone in coming up with an awesome joke two hours after the fact.
Thanks for the encouragement, man. A gift like that more than makes up for the lack of sarcasm.

 

[Edwards1984]

What do I like the most? Probably my eyes. I dunno, I get the most compliments on them.

What do I like the least? I would probably work on my self-confidence more. It's been getting better and better since I lost weight, but some of it still lingers inside me, especially in regards to interactions with the opposite sex. It will go away more and more over time, God willing.
