Things You Like About YOU (What makes you the person who you are; unique?)

    With the world we live in today, many of us are obsessed with self-criticism, fuelled by a society which actively tells us we are not who we should be, and we should be more beautiful, thinner, more commercialised etc.

    So this is a thread for positivity about yourself. Things that you like about yourself. Things that make you unique. I'll go first.

    • I like my sense of humour; I can laugh at almost anything, which makes the harder times less hard.

    • I like the way I'm in touch with the world, current affairs, different countries and cultures etc.

    • I like my little bodily imperfections, scar here, freckle there. :)

    • I like the way I can express myself well through English, I think it could be very frustrating if I couldn't.

    • I like my little rules: e.g. if I clip one leg while walking, I HAVE to clip the other.

    • I like my passion for sports, makes the world a lot less boring place.

    • I like my eyes, and my smile.

    So come on, lets here from you. What do you like about yourself. Share to the world.

    "A little immodesty goes a long way" ;)

    Tom's a shit, common name - why couldn't I have something unique like Fajita? As it is, I end up thinking people are shouting at me everywhere I go. Too many Tom's.

    And you've obviously never been to Birmingham!

    I've always quite liked it, one of the nicer common ones. And yes I have, in the pissing rain at the away end of St. Andrews and in the beautiful sunlight(ish) at Villa Park! :D

    Fair enough, I've never liked it though :pac:

    St Andrews.. what a horrible place. It's in Small Heath, it's more like Bangladesh than Birmingham now.

    Villa Park's nice, it's just a shame about Aston :pac:

    I like how good looking i am but i hate my large penis.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,647 ✭✭✭✭Fago!


    • I like my sense of humour; I can laugh at almost anything, which makes the harder times less hard.

    I'm the same.

    I can make people smile real easily. I always know jst what to say in a bad situation and I have a decent knowledge of chocolate cake.

    Ohh, and I'm gorgeous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    I like hating myself :(

    I like my odd combination of hobbies and tastes.

    That I'm touch with the world and what's going on around it (It's shocks me how little some people know anything about this country.)

    I have quite a bizzare and dark sense of humour though I love my good-taste humour as well (like you'd see in the old films, old-skool spoof movies and series like Police Squad! and SledgeHammer :p) I hate Family Guy and people who use Monty Python quotes in every sentence.

    I'm pretty non-chalant about everything, don't see the point in freaking out on little things and if you're receiving a punch from me then you deserved it ya little shìt, it takes a lot of work to piss me off.

    I like how a lot of people I meet see me as a "rare" reliable and trustworthy person. *pats self on back*

    EDIT: Oh and my cock, which is 3 years long!

    Prefer the Villa fans to be honest, although that could just be because we (United) always beat them! :D Brum fans seem to have a bit of a chip on their shoulders; some of them anyway.

    Thinking that you are somehow unique is a vain, decadent bourgeois conceit.

    The much-cherished hallmarks of your individuality are replicated millions of times across the world, more then likely in the 18-25 year-old percentile of the population who place stock in such things.

    Embrace your status as an empty cipher; a speck; a nullity.

    Now, I'm off to watch Eastenders to see if that lad in the carpet was found yet.

    Fair enough, but as a person who is about to enter that age category I shall revel in placing stock in such things, if that's okay with you? :D

    I'm pretty much the smartest and wisest person ever when you think about.

    In fact, everything about me is perfect. Perfection is me.

    I wouldn't be too surprised if I was the second coming.

    I thought people are too self obsessed what with the social networking and racking up loads of online friends and equating it with popularity and self worth. I don't know it probably just means everyone is actually very insecure. Anyway I don't know what I like about me. Erm I like that I play instruments and that my ears love music. :)

    You wanna be named after food?
    And my name is Jack, that's very common too! And many times when people shout other names/things, it sounds like it so I'm always turning around!

    What I like about me? It takes a lot to make me unhappy. And I like that I'm always up for tryin new things, no matter how bizarre they might seem

    My mom says I'm named after Catfood. -.-


    Riiiiight positive.

    I sometimes have a decent sense of humour; people hate me less than they used to. Woo

    Not even in jest mate. You can come around to mine and we'll round up people we can kick around for shíts and giggles. Hell you can have a go at me. I'm more resilient than I look.

    I like my hands actually. I have nice hands. If the rest of me was in the same boat as my hands I would be a foookin roide.

    Unique. Dunno about that. I do have 13 ribs and a few other archaic monkey boy features.

    Oh yea I dunno if anyone knows that party game thingy where you put a chair against the wall, stand in front of it and then lean forward and while keeping your head against the wall lift the chair? Only women can do it one? Well I can do it. Something to do with carrying angles or some such. Or I'm a woman. In which case every AH thread on the unsuitability of Irish womanhood is spot on when applied to me. Cos I would defo buck the stats even in a supermodel competition.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I love the fact that I love my kids unreservedly and that I'm not a selfish prick any more. I love that I am a genuinely nice person who always wants to see the best in people and has the knack of making people feel good about themselves.

    No worries, I still hate you just as much as I always did! :p

    Anyway, ummm.. hmm.
    -I like that I tend to not get stressed out, ever, about anything. I'm always very level-headed. I never freak out about anything, nothing scares me that scares most other girls or people in general (spiders, snakes, bugs, whatever, grand with me!).

    -I like that I'm accepting of pretty much everyone (except brummytom!). I never, ever stay angry or hold grudges, I'm the kind of person you can mess with as much as you please and I'll still always be there for you no matter what you've done to me. I will 100% be the one to come crawling back. Which, really, is a bad thing to most others.. but the past is the past and I like to be there for people.

    -..I like that I recognize the past is the past, that it's not going to change, and I know to just get up and move on; my past doesn't have any negative effects on me anymore that I haven't managed to work through by now. Also don't hold ANY material belongings dear, I've no sense of sentimentality when it comes to things other than photos (which are all online anyway.)

    -I like that I'm not a girly-girl and that I play videogames and watch horror movies and get dirty and don't make those horrible girly screechy sounds or enjoy any sort of drama. But I also like the fact that I have long hair and a curvy body and large eyes and all the other things that make me feminine.

    I like a lot of things about myself, tbh. I'm pretty confident in exactly what I am, at the same time I know all my faults and work through them too.

    Lets hook up, I have skilled hands and big muscles - I also have the solution to most of life's problems. people don't wanna listen so I only tell those who deserve it. I also can turn anger into enthusiasm, which only rarely results in violence.
