You: Dislikes/Likes about yourself?

[GallagherM]

Was unsure where to place this, Staff Member: If you have a better place to put it will you please redirect me there so I will know from here on. Thought this would be a good discussion for others to consider.

Rummaging through a box filled with written documents of past life which are great to go back and discover for yourself and it might open door ways again newly in your life. Going through the journaled documents came across a page that has a lot of questions on it. For me am not very good at asking others questions and it is something that I still struggle with today.

But the question was what do you like the most about yourself, and dislike about yourself?
The values and priorities.

These are a few values I like about myself: The values are trying not to be the most important person over others, allowing others to be expressive in any way they choose to do so, uplifting others instead of trying to push them around and push them into a ditch hoping they break a leg.

There are a few things I dislike about myself too and they involve: - Unable to share with others about my feelings, dislike having outburst of anger that lead to destroying relationship with others; when I fail to be considerable of others in their own situations and circumstances.

A few priorities I like about myself are that of being able to work a job, pay bills, socialize somewhat, and the main one is trying to put God first in almost every step of the way.

This was written possibly around 2019.

Do you do you think it good to self evaluate and write out things you dislike or like about yourself?

What are some of the likes, and dislikes of the values and priorities that you find valuable to knowing who you are as a person?

When i eat too much my belly rubs along the floor!

No need to bother with the negatives, half the time I'm in a sort of self-critical flow state. I've tried going through the positives, but I always feel a little ridiculous. I know that it's necessary however.

I'm a fairly reasonable sort of guy, I don't take myself too seriously; I brush my teeth twice a day, except on weekdays. (Jokes)

 

[Anthony2019]

What I like about myself:
- I have an easy-going (albeit quirky!) personality and am generally easy to please
- I get on with most people and accept them as they are. Well at least I like to think that I do.
- I have learned from previous experience how important it is not to hold onto grudges.
- I try not to make concrete judgements about people's lives or situations, but do my best to appreciate the position they are coming from.

What I dislike about myself
- sometimes I have allowed myself to be taken advantage of, where I should have put my foot down, rather than being too lenient and soft.
- if something upsets me, you can guarantee that everyone will know about it! Sometimes I don't think before I speak!
- sometimes I can be non-adventurous and have a reluctance to try out new things (especially food!).

 

[MehGuy]

What I like about myself:
-I feel like I have a creative mind and find thinking outside the box easy.
-I feel like I am less fearful than others regarding speaking my mind and taking on unpopular positions.
-I want to know what is actually true and not what just feels good inside. Life is finite and I want develop the most accurate picture of reality during the little time I have here.

What I dislike about myself:
-I was born with an unspecified language disability. My grammar and ability to communicate is very poor and below average.
-I can easily lose myself in emotions.. although since I've struggled with depression this probably has waned for the time being.
-Dealing with anxiety.. social anxiety and whatnot.

Mehguy, thank you for your courage to write out to us here. Feel free to message me anytime if you just wanna talk to someone friend.

I love my confidence. I believe in myself and live life to the fullest. I'm milking every moment I can.

I love my joy and positivity. Conversations with friends and family is full of laughter. I'm upbeat and find it easy to laugh at myself.

I love my dedication to God. It fuels my drive and compels me to complete my purpose. I never compromise or put it on the back burner. I'm all-in.

Double-Edged Swords

Cutting ties is easy. I don't stay in bad situations. That alleviates a lot of problems but it can prevent reconciliation in some scenarios. I'll forgive them and wish them well. But when I'm done I'm done.

Giftedness is a blessing and curse. When things are easy for you it's hard to remember that simple act may be challenging for someone else. Sometimes I forget how it feels to be afraid and uncertain.

There's a growing lack of diversity in my connections. On the positive side, I'm surrounded by people who share my faith, values, and interests. They're very supportive. But they're all accomplished and well-heeled. I have one middle class friend and they're on the upper end.

Every one of them is God's doing. We were meant to walk together and we're pursuing godly missions hand-in-hand. But there's times I look at our lives...these semi-charmed lives...and I pause.

I'm not looking for advice. Just sharing.

I can't answer without sounding like I'm in a job interview... Spent too much time in management.. lol.

I'm a tightwad...

I enjoy clean...

all are both blessings and curses... haha.

I'm very outgoing, try to always stay positive - glass half full type -although that's getting more difficult in my older age, hopeful (again getting more difficult with age but it's always been a very real character trait of mine), with a natural intelligence where learning new things always comes fairly easy plus I enjoy learning new things and have sought after knowledge throughout my life. I care about others, and always want to care for others in their need. I'm sensitive to how others around me feel and how I can impact them positively.

negatives are I easily get bored when there's nothing left to learn, and this leaves me restless looking for the next awesome thing to learn about.

Being naturally intelligent made me lazy in some ways, because I fought for little, instead of much, growing up. I didn't learn perseverance easily as a result, but God taught me perseverance in other ways.

I don't trust easily, and I try to do too much myself instead of relying on others who may be willing to help.

I don't trust easily.

Did I mention I don't trust easily? haha

 

[GallagherM]

Interesting insights of the self; friends.

Trust is something that starts with us first, that is given to others until it’s broken. What can be broken is but that of promises, to do something then not go through with it; for the most part- there are circumstances that are real in which might interfere with that doing of whatever May be. That would be for one to discern for themselves through question and the reliable answers given.

That is my philosophy when it comes to trust. It’s good to be discerning. When the first lie comes; that is when things you begin to wonder though we have all told lies to protect another from hearing the truth haven’t all; Or from letting our own insecurities be known should be said instead?

But the question was what do you like the most about yourself, and dislike about yourself?
The values and priorities.

What I like about myself the most is that I care about people genuinely and I have strong faith in God. And strong sense of justice.


What I don't like about myself is that I don't have confidence to socialize in real life, I have social anxiety and it's very hard for me to talk IRL with people I have never seen before. Although I'm not even sure if I really have huge problems with it anymore because I haven't even tried. But this problem has been long time so I lost my confidence and it hasn't come back. But if someone approaches me on street and start talking, I always talk back without problem but if it comes to me to start the conversation I just can't do it. It same with talking in phone, I don't like calling anybody but it's not problem for me to answer the phonecall.
And I don't like that I think I can be very demanding.
Also I don't like that I hate cleaning and consider it as a waste of time, but also I don't like dirt. Lol.
I don't like that it's hard for me to reveal my soft side that I want to be seen as strong almost all the time. I used to be unhealthy for striving perfection in certain areas of my life but now I have broke that spell gladly with the help of God not with my own strength, and it's almost completely gone.

I suppose I'm easy going most of the time.

I find it difficult to socialise as I'm introverted and hard of hearing.

But most of all I dislike my ability to procrastinate.

You all are awesome thank you so much for taking time to share with others here. Hope you all have a good rest of your night.
