Ok I'll be brave.
I like my healthy body.
Teeth - No cavities
Eyes - 20/20 or better, no glasses ...pretty good for my age (mid 40's)
Aerobic capacity
Rarely get sick, I don't recall the last time I had the flu and it's been a couple of years since I've had a cold.
Last day off work was when I sprained my ankle in 1986.
So far so good. Knock wood
I'll add some more items about myself
I'm honest...sometimes too honest for my own good.
I'm cheerful and smily most all the time, people like that.
I get along well with everyone, even people I argue with, which is quite rare, I get along with. ie the diffult people that others avoid.
I debate but I don't flame.
It takes a fair bit to upset me.

Maybe not so good as Brookie but I almost NEVER get sick... I thank living through the flu season working in the emergency room for my immunity. I've only been ill once in the past six years...
But what I like most is the fact that I am genuinely nice and honest. What you see is what you get and I like to think that it's a pretty good person.
And next would come my strength when faced with adversity in my life. The fact that I'm still as undamaged as I am is testament to that.
Good idea steph!

Physically I have to say absolutely nothing, but I know that a lot of that is internal voices coming through from many years ago.
For those that take the time to get to know me though and dont judge by appearances alone, there's a whole lot more to me than meets the eye and if I had to choose something I guess it would be my compassionate nature and putting others needs first at times even if that means jeopardising my own feelings and the ability to grow as a stronger person despite the traumas of my past.
Great thread Steph

Oh, I like about myself that I'm quite rare, in this age of mass production and mass consumption...
Id have to say the simple fact that i tell the truth. And i love how much i help people. Its my job but i love it. Hard to beleive for some of you im sure, but tough noogies for all of you.
And my incredible skill to get any girl i meet to let me tickle them.
That and the fact that Im good in good enough shape to compete in body building shows with those steroid pussy's. Im natural thru and thru and i still beat them.

ok here we go.
I like that i am a person who will do anything for anyone

that i am a better person for who and what i represent
that i am a great person for tending to others needs and not being selfish
that i am a responsible person
that i will put my life on the line for only certain special people
all of those are just the ways of being me.
and i love me for that
and if no one else does,.....

I like the fact that I flow against the flow. I'm me, unique, free, but I don't see the world as against me. I take life just as I take my eggs, over easy.
"Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy."
"Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy."
My honorable personality. I always conduct myself with honorable character in both my business and personal dealings, do my best to respect each others rights, and live up to my promises to others. In addition, I consider myself a very helpful individual, a trait I have developed from my many years in the marketing business. I enjoy aiding others.
Lately, another good trait I have acquired is will power, with my diet. During the past four weeks, I have proven that I will not give in to temptation, and have been putting my healthy eating habits, and my overall physical health, ahead of my id desires with food.
So, those are my best traits, honorably, and will power. Whatever shortcomings I may have, I pride myself on those two traits.

My cunning and ability to improvise to get myself out of sticky situations which works most of the time...but not all. 
Great thread, Steph!
What I like about myself is my ability to make a connection with every person I meet...to find some sort of common ground, no matter how different we may be. I seem to be able to get along with just about everyone, even if the people in question don't get along with one another.
Granted, sometimes it's a stretch; the common ground may be, "OK, we're the same species...let's go from there." That's not a negative thing; it's just that sometimes people will shield themselves with aggression or arrogance...which often is simply a way of masking fear.
In other words, I'm friendly.

What a wonderful thread!
Hiya
Steph you are such a gifted person when it comes to crafting these thoughtful threads!
I hope you know you're a gift to all of us!
What i like about myself? I like my heart the one that beats 60x a minute and the one that beats for others (no i'm not a Time-er-lady *giggles* )
I also enjoy my ticklish body.
I guess the other thing i like about myself is i not only try to see the good in people but that i most often succeed at it. That's always been important to me. 🙂
I hope that everyone of you who see this thread, even if you don't reply, think about your own good qualities. You each have many. And it's good that you're alive
Many blessings,
Chickles_🙂

everything really...but if I had to choose one thing, it would be my willpower and determination. That, and my stunning good looks of course.
Oh, and the fact that im an American, that automatically makes me better than everybody else.

Well....
I guess I'll have to muster up some courage for this but the thing I like most about myself is that I am a very accessable person when it comes to helping people. I always try to help someone up when they are down. It goes back to my childhood when I used to get the shit kicked out of me everyday, I vowed that I would never be like those kind of people. I live up to everything I promise in my business relationships as well as personal. Anyone who knows me to any degree would concur that I have a heart of gold. I also pride myself as a person who takes care of himself physically. To a lesser degree, I am a very outgoing person who makes friends easily and never feels out of place in any social situation.

Ok, I'll play! I'd have to say that the one thing I like about myself is the fact that I have put myself "above", if you will, the constant need for materialistic gain. This ties into my ability to see the world as a whole and society as a sentient organism...and knowing exactly where I fit into it. Which, of course, ties into my life-goal to bring Balance to everything.
If I had to pick a "self-absorbed" thing, it would be the fact that, for whatever reason, I look just about exactly the same at 37 as I did when I was 17. Good genes, that's all.

As it was stated by the author of this thread, saying such things should not be seen as narsicistic or introverted, since they are questions being asked and theres of course nothing wrong with being proud about your strengths.
The one thing I like the most about me is my faith. Not any faith that can be taught by a religion mind you, but simply faith, that utter and complete trust that things will be as God intends. I have that kind of faith. I am silent about it though. Not because I'm embarassed or anything, I've always been calm and reserved that way. I can be quite reserved and calm and it may seem like I'm indifferently outwardly (it probably seems that way to my fellow parishioners that I remain silent and calm and that I'm not praising the Lord, but I am, I'm celebrating inwardly, which is just as important as any physical or emotional display), but I have this faith thats been tried many times but never broken. People older than me have fallen, people I know too, and yet, I have not. You will have thought it may be other way around simply by virtue of age, experience, and understanding. But I also consider they have more trials than I do. And I pray that when I am faced with as many nothing will change and my faith will remain intact.
So I pride myself on my faith. It doesn't necessarily make me a more religious person, but it does make me more spiritual I think. Theres always room for improvement, and its that that continues to humble me in this way and keeps me from becoming arrogant.
One other thing is I think I'm pretty handsome. I've got handsome features and I seem to have recieved all of the better physical traits from my mother and father. My mother often gets complimented, so its no wonder why I do as well. People have told me I'm handsome, and people stare at me sometimes. I've been told I have a charisma about me, but that has more to do with my faith and aura I believe and it is that that people are more attracted to than my physical appearance (whether they realize it or not).
I'm definitely not God's Gift though, so yeah. LOL 😀
I'm multi-talented. I have a natural artistic ability, so I'm a natural artist, I'm good with music and learning instruments, and I have so much playful acting energy that I'd make a good actor, voice or otherwise.
One more..
I think I'm a pretty compassionate person. When I do things for people my heart is really into what I'm doing and I revel in the moments of these acts of selflessness whenever I can and opportunity permits. This is truely what is meant by that saying "goodness is it's own reward". Helping is it's own reward , as is listening, which I try to do often.

Nothing wrong at all about being strong in your Faith! I guess it ties in somewhat to my own desire for Balance. I do feel that it is God's Will that this sort of Balance should come through one like myself, and I feel that it's only my place to do so. We all wonder what our "place" is, and that's mine.
As far as physical appearance goes, we spend so much time as a society slamming oursleves that it won't be such a bad thing for us as individuals to enjoy the decent genetics we've been given.
I'm glad you brought up the concept of not feeling bad about patting ourselves on the back once in awhile. We spend so much time trying to show how passive and repentive we are, that we spend little time extolling the virtues of our own lives. That's what makes us human.

I'm glad you agree, Dave. We are so quick to cast ourselves down in dispair and self-loathing that we forget the things, however big or small they may be, ones we may even think are trivial or pointless, that make us who we are.
Being true to one's self requires that you're honest with yourself and accept yourself for who and what you are. You are your own life force and you give that energy to others through compassion and mercy, and they do the same.
If you bring negativity into a situation it will be about that. Opinions don't clash because they're different, they clash because of the emotions fueling them. If these emotions are sorted out, its what makes respecting differences possible. People may not agree all the time, but its always possible to get along no matter what. Its one of God's gifts to us, the gift of compassion and understanding. And in the cosmic sense, it creates unity and binds things together as a single fabric of something larger.
This is one reason I love Star Wars so much. The "Force" is a really compelling way to refer to God, or positive energy, or positive thinking and having a communion and relationship with Him and using that energy, that "Force" to make the world a better place.
In actuality, it is not money that makes the world go round, its this energy, when used properly. We sustain the world and eachother. Money is a thing, an artificial thing. It does nothing. It is merely the conduit through which we've allowed alot of our validity as a race come to be. It is not self-preserving, and it does not truely sustain us. We sustain eachother, and thats evident in world news. Things could be so much different.
We live in an "Empire", runned by "Sith" but how wonderful it is when there are "Jedi" like Pope John Paul the II, and others who ease some of this instability. It makes the fight truely worth while.

What I like about Drew!
I like that most everybody feels comfortable around me. I like my sense of humor that I'm always cracking jokes and can often make a boring situation (like work) more entertaining. I like my strong heart and full head of hair even approaching 48. I like that I'm regarded (in some circles at least) as a fun guy to tickle. I like my musical and songwriting talents. I like my career in telecommunications. I like that with rare exceptions, I'm a person that enjoys life, and enjoys interacting with people.
