My Best and Worst Qualities
Being critical of ourselves can really put a dent in our self esteem so let's try to make a fair assessment. You don't get extra credit for highly critical comments! 😊
- "What is one thing that you like about yourself?
- What is one thing that you struggle to accept about yourself?

@soulsings
- What is one thing that you like about yourself? Perseverance. Usually when I set a goal, I will try my very best to accomplish it no matter what difficulties are in my way.
- What is one thing that you struggle to accept about yourself? I'm pretty bad at social talk and usually feel out of place in social settings.
@amiablePeace77 I secomd those. At Tai Chi I start exercising rather than chat a lot
@soulsings
I see nothing wrong with a bit of self-criticism. How many times does one not review something said or done that did not work out? This is just so we can be better next time.
At this stage, it might be my life experience (73 years worth) but at other stages, it was many other things, of course. I got my dream job, I married well (although I was widowed 13 years into that marriage), I also had hobbies, achievements and a great social life.... As one will notice, I am pretty satisfied with my past.
Second question: My health disaster. When I repatriated to this family home in the countryside, I expected to stay healthy if not even physically stronger (why not?), but that was not to be. Also, I have learned a little too well how to bottle up my feelings in order to have peace and quiet.

@Fradiga it sounds like you have had a lot of ups and downs.
Sorry about your health. That is rough.
@soulsings
Ups and downs... everyone has them, I'm sure.

When I really don't like about my body is my big belly except that I don't want to give up my nine o'clock snack, which usually consists of 3 to 5 cookies, all yummy butter cookies with sprinkles. So what should I try apples? It doesn't ring, I'm open any suggestions. Thank you.
@linda19152 I do not know what else you eat or how active you are. Also some people underweight body mass think they have a big belly but do not. Maybe ask your doctor.
You may want to start a food journal and measure amounts and track calories or cut portions of carbs and do not eat all carb meals like a plate of pasta or a pizza. Carbs in excess of what is needed are stored on the body as reserves so they are usually the reason for weight gain.
I eat a diet which is low on carbs and moderate on protein, adding with every meal. I also exercise 5 times a week.
I love my sense of childish whimsy, my charm and my playfulness! My big heart full of love and affection!
Hmm I don't like my recent lack of self drive at home. And I'm ugly af. But I'm NICE THO!
@soulsings
What is one thing that you like about yourself? My kindness/compassion for others. I tend to put others before myself.
What is one thing that you struggle to accept about yourself? Pretty much everything else.
@courageouspanda2006 I applaud your having compassion for others but note that when we have compassion for ourselves and find things to rejoice about.
I like my silly humour, making others giggle, makes me feel good.
I struggle to accept my limitations because I can no longer do or struggle with certain things because my health suffers.
I expect more of myself even though it's not always possible. I think it stems from being called unproductive a lot and that seems to trigger me sometimes to my detriment.
@ScrabbleBrain I appreciate bringing smiles to people.
I often expect more than I can possibly do. This is a challenge I have to avoid when possible.
If I get down on myself, I have to pick myself up.
@soulsings bit tricky to reconcile with limitations, sometimes the brain is willing, the body is not lol :)
@soulsings
What is one thing that you like about yourself?
I always strive to know and learn all that I can. I want to know it all even if I don't do it all.
What is one thing that you struggle to accept about yourself?
One thing that I struggle to accept about myself is that I'm a human and I will age. I can't be 18 forever.
@trueconfidant123 accepting aging I find difficult.
Lately it’s hard to find the things I like about myself because the same things I like about myself are also things I sometimes don’t like about myself.
but I guess I’ll say.. one thing I like about myself is that I’m kind and I always try to understand someone else’s perspectives. I do have to be always mindful not to be taken advantage of though, sometimes it still happens anyway.
One thing I struggle to accept about myself is my ongoing battle with mental health issues which I felt has made it difficult for me to achieve certain things in life that I was expected to achieve. Many days I question, if I didn’t have anxiety and depression, would i be in a different place in life right now?
@jynyi99 you are wise to see the other person's perspective.
@soulsings i like how i give so much to other people. how i care so much, and strive to do all i can to make another persons day happier.
i hate how i give so much to other people who wont give back. how i deplete myself because im so busy caring, but no one will ever care about me.
@InSoMuchPainAndItHurts when I expect something back I am usually disappointed so I try another strategy: I take care and nurture myself first so I then have a deep well to give others without feeling depleted.
