TDS - we all have problems, some more severe than others. How do we get through our sadness, our disbelief, and our pain?

I think that giving ourselves affirmations is how we can at least take a start.

What is one thing YOU like about yourself?

I like that I am me. It sounds like a trite little Dr. Seuss quote, but I like being myself and that shows to others. I'm no bargain, but neither am I falsely advertising. :)
 
I like how I let me freak flag fly.

In other words, I like how I express myself as an individual as well as a partner in and member of a community(s).

Shit, there is not much I don't like about myself these days. Holla! =D

p.s. Nice idear Mariposa!!!! Whatever happened to your fleshlight avatar? Or am I confusing you with someone else? ;) :\

This. I'm just happy that I am me. I love myself inside and out, and I know that I can overcome what I don't like about myself.
 
I like that I can make people laugh through what I say and what I photoshop.
 
Mariposa I'm stoked you decided to make this into a thread as i caught that question in the social....
I cant think of alot right now im viewing myself as a messy turd in the toilet that is the world.
If i had to say something it would probably be my ability to not physicly harm other living things... Id break a brick wall b4 id hurt a fellow human being or animal:\
 
I really value my ability to connect with and help others in emotionally-charged (crisis) situations. I am certainly not in my line of work for the money... :|

Wonderful thread. I'm an egomaniac with an inferiority complex - I hate thinking about myself, yet I'm all I think about. And when my lens is focused on me, I'm generally not making positive self-affirmations. Thank you for the outlet.

Today, I like that I have retained my own personal values. I am independent. I like it that way. Keep the criticism where it belongs. I love myself and I do not need judgment from anyone who does not love me equally.
 
I get knocked down and I get up again.

Was my version bak in tha day...
 
My comical nature. Its always been not only a shield, a sword, and a number of other things in my life but its always something to keep my sanity in times where the ship is a bit more than unsteady.:D For once in my life I feel like I could have even put more than one thing....what an odd feeling.

Are we referring to that commercial for the gym X.X.

Also one thing I like about myself is that I am the first to put forth my vulnerability when meeting a new person. Call me naive or too trusting. It has bit me in the butt many times but I have gotten a few great great people out of it that make it worth it.
 
I am accepting what is. It has been difficult for me. Painful.

I like myself for surrendering to the reality of time.

Time always wins. I am happy that I am ok with that.
 
The fact my apartment would give Foul Bachelor Frog a run for his money... I LOVE it, cause I can like dig though a pile old chip bags, grab and TADA! a 24 port gigabit ethernet switch! Or something equally as unexpected and neat.
