Say something positive about yourself.

Post Reply New Topic

It's very rare that my farts are offensively pungent.

i'm f*****g good at drawing, i'll give myself at least that much.

I'm very patient with people

I am moving forward in attaining my goals in Toastmasters.

I wrote a fan letter to Denis Istomin, something I have been meaning to do for a long time. Now I have to find out how much it costs to mail the letter.

I've been developing my digital music collection for years and I'm glad I still possess all those albums. I'm currently listening to Vol. 1 of the solo piano music of Ravel. Nothing like impressionist music to make me feel life isn't so bad.

I care about animals

Skilpadde,

I think that is my best trait, too.

I have come up with various ideas that would greatly benefit society, but there are persons out there that would not want to see change and I'm not relating to autistic persons.

I can listen to and understand other people's struggles. Also, like to think I'm good at writing, but when I start to write, I quickly change my mind

I don't trust first impressions and anwers that are overly simplistic, and keep searching various perspectives and resources to reach the most accurate answer, acknowledging that I'll never find the ultimate answer and doing so is too tempting, but I don't easily wander in the attempt to perfect my judgement, including always questioning common beliefs and being overly curious, always having an open mind and stopping the so tempting and easily acquired prejudiced thinking, if it ever tries to allure me. That mentality has a positive impact because I make fairly good papers, although I'm still learning. It has a negative impact because I perfect my judgment in some areas of interest in detriment of others that are not so much engaging to learn about since time is a limited resource, so I end up burning my brain capacity so much it has a negative impact in my health. I end up obsessing over finding an unachievable final answer, trying to perfect everything I attempt to do, and ending up losing hours of sleep and being unconfident in my results, regardless of how much I perfect over it. I'm also not very confident in my own beliefs, since I end up accessing and giving value to all facts, regardless of them having factual clarification or not. I always find it difficult giving a definite answer especially when the subject is too subjective or too sensitive or too impactful or overly complex, but that is something that I often find appealing in itself. I might admire or feel disappointed in people that have competence or lack thereof and think their judgement is perfect with such unchanging imperious confidence, seemingly always having an immediate answer. I'm more of a accesser and questioner, not so much as an knowing-it-all competent student. I'm not too smart either, I'm just overly curious. Fellow students might become perplexed because I'm always full of doubts and seem to never find a clear-patterned line of thought in my answer, which results in despite having good performance in written skills, I'm hopeless at interviews.

I guess that mentality is both positive and negative. In conclusion, I conceive that it has more positive impacts over negative ones, so that's the most noticeable positive trait I can think of myself right now. I'm an overanalyser and automatically overthing things, so I derail a lot, but while I'm disciplined I'm also lazy sometimes, and I often miss important points but reach good results, so it's all good I guess.

Aside from that, I also like to help students get good grades and passing, getting nothing in return, but just knowing I'm helping makes my day. I think sharing knowledge and doing good deeds a day are good positive things about myself. I'm not too fond of people, especially because they're often unpredictable and unapproachable, but it doesn't hurt to help, especially knowing that it'll have a good influence and it might propense them to do the same. Yeah, I also like to help because it feels good to be noticed of my efforts, no shame in that. My parents and people that care for me always criticise me saying I shouldn't lose sleep over that, that I'm overly nice and I'm going to suffer in life and so on, but I'm happy just knowing that people say it helped a lot. I feel I have a reached a motive, which propels me in righteous ways. I don't really have friends, but I think no one has any propense to feel conflicting feelings towards me either, so I'm fairly content as it is. I think that being understanding of all (even if I find difficult attempting to understand their underlying motives, that doesn't mean I don't have a sense of sympathy), using polite and humane speech and being direct only in case it's necessary to avoid future conflict, even if I can't easily sympathise with them or might have a small grudge, is the way I portray myself the best. I know that humans are cursed to only understand themselves from their point of perception, especially that reflects my life story since I have Asperger's, but that doesn't mean I can become a bigoted uncivilized citizen, as much as I see on the internet and in the real world. It's unproductive trying to change it though, since I'm just one in many and have no power to influence other's lives, but sometimes I just wanted people to understand how much their badly influence can hurt others indirectly or directly. I even reached a point I started to sympathise with my bullies, though that's the main reason I ended up getting scarred, sigh. I'm an irreparable utopian world seeker that sees the best in even the worst of people and must know that my actions have a good impact in society, but I'm also sooo lazy in the sense that I might derail and introspect in myself and my world of obsessions since it's much engaging and I'm not too trusting or fonding of people, and I also suck at socialising and don't find it appealing, so I prefer animals. While I feel propeled to help people if they so desire, I'm often overly generous either because I truly want to do so or fear being rude and can't stand conflict, so in conclusion I approach people with a dichotomy of "all be brothers and sisters and in equal footing" or "distrust all of them", but end up being taken advantage of most of the time but I'm okay with that, already used to it alright. I just need to have a safe distance that keeps me from trouble. I conceive people like variables, they're just so unpredictable. I sometimes feel compelled to show my weaknesses to people that I feel could make good friends, so that they can feel at ease with me, since I want to build a friendship sustained by shared vulnerabilities and sharing of inner thoughts and doing fun activities together, even knowing that it might be used against me in the future. I often feel alone, or lacking motivation, alienated from society, as if I'm in the wrong, but it's alright. I just need to play a game or read a book or listen to music and such loneliness fades substantially and have good fun. Learning about the world is a lot of fun, even as an estranged observer that hesitantly, fleetingly dreams of being an overly righteous, yet unsuitable participant.

Well, it's getting off topic, so that's the whole point anyway. I intersected the positive points with negative points, but that's okay I guess, hope it's okay, being rational and reflective is also one of my main strengths

I do just fine

I am a very compassionate person.

I always do my best for others and for myself.

I don't like to say positive things about myself.

But now I did, so does that make me a hypocrite?

Damn this thread!!
