One thing you like about yourself - the self-esteem thread.

this thread is a great idea. when i was in my last rehab my counselor made me write something good about myself everyday. back then drugs had taken every bit of confidence i had leaving me in a shell of shame, regret, and i hated myself. i thought it was super lame the first week. going into the second week i began to see that there were a lot of good things about myself that i had been ignoring or hadnt seen at all! by the time 45 days rolled around i was writing 2 or more positive things about myself everyday and i had filled one and a half pages of paper.

I plan to contribute to this thread daily as i need to get back into that state of mind again. i need to remind myself everyday that i have good qualities and that i am not a horrible person.

and so it begins:

I am a witty person and it's easy for me to make people laugh.

I like the fact that in almost any situation it is extremely easy for me to make friends.

I like the fact that I am a very strong person character wise.

I like the fact that I am good at making people smile.

I like the fact that I think I am a handsome guy.

I like the fact that even though I am in a difficult situation that I still have hope.
 
it took me forever to think of something to write here.

i guess i like that i'm easygoing. it can backfire and i'm seen as a pushover by a lot of people and i get taken advantage of, but i get along well with just about anyone.

I like my ability to endure, you push and push and run and tire me out all you want, but I'll still be standing tall, shoulders back, chin up, smiling.

:::thumbs up::: i like this one man. keep on keepin on!


I like that I am intelligent and often surprise people with just how intelligent I am.

I like that I am a very punctual person.

I like that I am a considerate person.

I like the fact that I can often find something good out of any situation even if said situation seems hopeless.
 
I like the fact that I am very well spoken

I like the fact that I am educated

I like the fact that I can hold a conversation with anyone regardless of education, background or intelligence
 
I like my eyes, my ancestry, my knowledge, my way of thinking, my morality. Just to name a few. I am a fairly self-confident/self-content individual, but it can't hurt to remind myself about what it is about me I like.
 
That's great Alex :) Self confidence is an amazing thing and it's great that you're able to point out physical features that you like about yourself. I really struggle to do so myself.
 
My sense of loyalty. I've done plenty of stupid things and made plenty of bad choices towards myself and my own well being, but I'll be DAMNED if I don't help out when someone needs it. If nothing else, I try to be the person everyone knows will be there for them.
 
My ability to make others laugh (doesn't really come out a lot here, but people have always complimented me for that).
 
My writing skill. The only real skill I have going for me.

Positive affirmation from professors and others helps reinforce my self confidence more than most things.
