The Self-Worth Topic

quadraptor's picture
I was starting to have another meltdown tonight, so I wanted to make this topic for all of us. Just post anything and everything that you are proud about yourself. Anything at all, so that you can look back at this topic when you're feeling down, look back at what you posted, and say, "I'm a pretty cool person."

- I'm a giver - I donate


- I'm a giver - I donate blood, money (when I have it to give), and time to those who need it more than I do.
- While I don't think I really have any writing skills, I do think I'm a decent writer.
- I'm a good storyteller, and can come up with ideas for a story while working at my job.
- I have a wonderful (and spoiled) little dachshund who hugs me and wags her tail every time I come home.
- People see me as dependable. They know they can count on me when they get in a jam.
- I'm very easy to please. I love surprises and enjoy trying new things.
- I am very open minded and love learning about different cultures, religions, places, ect.
- I support the little guy.
- Asexual and damn proud of it!
- I could care less about what people think of me, it used to matter a long time ago but not anymore.
- I've got two brothers who will do anything for me, and I will do the same for them.
- Also could not have asked for better parents. Even though I miss my Dad really badly, I learned a lot from him, and Mom is one of my best friends and someone who I can always go to for advice.
- I see beauty in most everything, especially the land, the animals, and sometimes people.
- I can relate to deer so well, and enjoy just looking at pictures of them being happy and free. I especially enjoy getting to meet them (and goats) in person. That really makes me happy.
- I love traveling, and enjoy exploring places I've never been to.
- I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was younger. And now I am a soon-to-be-geologist.
- I have big dreams and goals, which is my driving force to get done with college and go live my dream as a geologist.
- I will save the world one day. And no, that's not a joke. I'm going to donate a lot of my earnings to charity, so things can get done, people can stop suffering, animals can live happily, cures can be found for the diseases that are taking lives like my Dad's. I want to be a superhero in my own way.
- While I falter often, I never give up. I just pick myself back up the next day, and try again. I may not be the best at what I do, but I try, and usually that's all anyone would ask for.

You're quite a good writer,

You're quite a good writer, not just decent, Quad.

For my own list. I had to give this some thought. It's a bit difficult to write.

- I am accepting
- I adapt
- I chase my dreams
- I am a deep thinker
- I am forgiving
- I am humble
- I am honest to myself and my feelings
- I am gentle
- I am a good listener
- I am good company in person
- I think outside the box
- I am efficient with words
- I want everyone to succeed and to flourish

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

+ I've learned to articulate

+ I've learned to articulate my feelings and needs. This is the first year I feel like I've ever really been able to talk to the people I love and understand everything that they say back.
+ I'm learning to feel emotions that I never thought I could feel.
+ I'm facing my fears.
+ I've come to terms with myself.
+ I'm an only child, but I've learned what it's like to have brothers and sisters.
+ The person who crippled me emotionally will never live his life's dream.

Bump'd for anyone who missed

Bump'd for anyone who missed this Eye You also can add more to yours by adding a new comment, no problems if you forgot something.

For example...

- I support local and rising artists when I can.
- I support TEF artists too, I try to commission when I have the money to spare.
- Things handmade are more sentimental to me than things manufactured.
- I'm willing to try things that people tend to shun from. For example, I discovered that I really like eating roe on sushi.
- I enjoy trying practices from other religions or philosophies than my own to find inner peace.
- Zen gardens are amazing, as are floral gardens.
