Do you like anything about yourself?

[Kibby]

Honestly I was just thinking, I hate how shy I am, how soft spoken I am, my social retardation, my race my face my actions everything. It's over. But it made me think what one would like about me, I feel like there has to be something - is there anything you like about yourselves? Maybe I can take inspiration and think of that for myself. I guess its the fact I was born in a first world country and culture and not some dysgenic one. I'm not sure what I'm getting at.
honestly most of all i hate is the fact i pushed friends away, they were so nice, i've met so many bad ppl that the few good ones I like a lot. Well w/e.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

I like the fact that I'm quiet, I like the fact that I still have an imaginary friend, and I like the way how I tend to process information by finding ways to apply what I have learned to storylines in my daydreams, I like that I'm mixed race and I find my heritage to be pretty neat, I like that I have a high hair density, and I like the country I was born in (even if the people here and the government frustrate me sometimes). I have a lot about myself that I still hate, such as my moodiness, my passive aggressiveness, my stupidity, my inability to take action when I really should, my rudeness, the fact that my hair is curly (curly hair takes more work to manage), etc. Still, at least there are a few things that I've come to like about myself.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, I don't and I don't see anything desirable about existence at all, I see existence as the most cruel, futile burden that causes all this suffering all for the sake of it and I'd never wish to exist, I wish I was never burdened with this existence more than anything, to me existence just feels like a mistake and I always suffer from being conscious enslaved in this existence I never would have chose. I wish I could have the option to simply cease existing in peace and never suffer ever again, I just wish for permanent peace from this torturous existence that just leads to decay and death anyway, I'll always see it as deeply undesirable to exist, for me non-existence truly is all that's positive and I'd always prefer to not exist than suffer all for the sake of it in this existence where there is no limit as to how much agony I can feel.

 

[-nobodyknows-]

Now that I think about it… there really isn't anything I "like" about myself.

It's kind of funny. I thought for sure there'd be one or two things, but no, there really isn't.

 

[onthefence]

I like that I can always push through. Lately this is being put to the test as I have started considering not going to work because I'm sobbing on the floor but so far I've been able to get myself up and out the door.
I am fiercely loyal and protective of my people. I would do anything for my people. I am good at making other people feel seen and heard.

 

[Namelesa]

I actually do like somethings about myself such as my appearance and body, creativity and intelligence when it comes to game development and maybe my ability to be patient and empathetic with others that are struggling like me but I don't necessary think these things are enough for me to be considered a likable person.

I do hate a lot of other things about me tho such as me being an emotionally pathetic sensitive needy burden as well as some of my thoughts and actions. I am somewhat starting to get more self worth thanks to SaSu and others being kind to me here.

 

[Forever Sleep]

I like it when people say I'm like my Mum. She died when I was 3 but I only ever hear good things about her. I don't think that's solely the whole 'respect for the dead thing', I think she was genuinely a kind person.

Overall, I'm grateful that I inherited creative genes. It gave me a strong drive in life and became my main coping mechanism. Being greedy, I would have liked more talent and I suppose it's also brought with it a bunch of problems. Still, it's largely who I was for a very long time. It was a massive crutch in life.

I don't exactly hate the other aspects of me as much as I used to. I used to hate my looks, my weight, my awkwardness. I likely would have done better in life if I'd sorted more things out about myself but, I guess now that I feel/ hope that it's all drawing to an end, not so much really matters now. I simply prefer the thought of letting it all go.

 

[JesiBel]

Uhmm, maybe I like that I'm a curious person with a lot of imagination, I like to learn new things. When people say that I look like my grandfather, it's a great compliment for me.

 

[ShatteredSerenity]

I guess I like most things about myself, not in a super egotistical way, but I just feel comfortable with who I am.

The things I dislike are my appearance, which people consider good looking but on the low end and my features are a little bit off. I really hate ADHD and bipolar disorder, they completely fucked up my life. Autism is difficult, it's caused me so many problems but I can't imagine being any other way. I hate not being able to interact properly with other people, it's an autism thing but I no other autistic people who do it much better.

 

[rashedul]

i dont know what liking means anymore with severe depression. it's like I don't feel anything.

 

[SadFoxDreamer83]

What I like about myself is that I never give up on my dreams no matter how impossible they are to achieve.

 

[slowdance]

It's hard to think about things I like about myself without all the things I hate about myself pouring in to crowd them out. And everything I like about myself is a double edged sword that sometimes effs me over. I like that I'm skeptical. I'm more likely than most people to question my own assumptions, change my mind in the face of better evidence, and base my beliefs on things that are observable and consistent. I like that I'm a good dancer. That's it. Everything else about me is garbage.

 

[shika]

I don't know for sure, but I think I like my self-awareness. It makes me aware of the next fifty years of failure so I can kick the bucket now.

 

[human909]

No, I don't like anything about myself.

 

[Forveleth]

I used to be suicidal because I hated myself so much. I realized the things I hated about myself where things I actually liked and that other people did not like about me. Once I stopped caring what everyone else thought and embraced the parts of myself that I liked, things got a lot better. I do not like that I made the life choices that brought me to this point and I am not perfect, but who is. Other than that, I genuinely like myself.

 

[outrider567]

Well, I lost 30 pounds last 4 months, from the 40 pounds I gained last year

 

[WantingOut2]

I don't know if I do anymore.
I'm smart, but where has that gotten me?
I sure wasn't wise.
I also don't know a way out of this hell. (That's what I come here for usually, I have to learn I can't find it here, unfortunately).
I guess I have to try and learn to like myself in some ways again, and not let the people who have turned on me, not let their opinions be part of my reality.
But they abandoned me and when you're totally isolated and have nothing to live for, then aspects of yourself that you DO like, or have liked, are things you don't really think about much. More like "How can I die already?" "My existence is shit, how can I end it?"
Hard to have much self-esteem when THAT'S how it is - when you can't cope or function anymore.

Edit: No I'm a total failure. I wish I was dead.

I like my sense of humor and my taste in music. But neither of those really count, because nobody's going to dislike their own preferences lol

 

[Prism]

No, not anymore.

 

[Geodude77]

Everything I did like about myself just seems kinda pointless now and everything I don't like about myself just gets worse

 

[JaJu]

I like that I aim to be kind and respectful toward all people no matter how different they are.

 

[natthebrat]

i guess i like my kindness and strong sense of justice, even if those are things that this dumb world just takes advantage of.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

What am I or a human? A brain that can suffer unending constant unbearable pain. A point of view being immersed trapped in a nightmare I never asked for.
A viewer of hell.

 

[sadalways]

I can't really think of many things for myself. I know i'm not a bad person, i will genuinely listen and try my best to help those that need it, which sometimes turns against me because i care too much. That's probably the only thing. When it comes to physical looks for example, i dislike everything except for how my face looks from the front in some pictures, so that probably doesn't count.

 

[sximii]

I will say I'm intelligent and talented and creative. I was that antisocial autistic gifted kid when I was younger (still maybe am, last year of school).

 

[DivineSpark]

I think I can be selfless at times....but you know, it is yin and yang thing. We got some bad, we got some good.

 

[2messdup]

No

 

[CanIStopTryingNow]

I like my compassion, my creativity and my ability to quickly learn new things, except, apparently, guitar, because I am struggling with that. I value my resilience, at least when I am doing well. I hate how my bipolar robs me out of of these gifts at times.

 

[divinemistress36]

I have nice teeth and hair. Thats all I can think of

 

[sp4rk]

I like that i can find joy in even the worst games. And I like that I have my two cats who are the love of my life and my pride and joy. Other than I dont think I have anything else that I really like about myself
