I was at work yesterday.
Normally I work alone, or try and do things alone but a co-worker came in at 11:00 a.m. and then at 12 she joined me for lunch and after a little chatting she asked me what I liked most about myself. I couldn't think of anything other than a few years ago I had a nice singing voice. I stopped singing in 2016 because I didn't feel happy enough to sing and now my voice is very bad.
So I thought I would ask here as well as her question intrigued me.
I like the way I look (although I've put on too many extra pounds since the crackdown). I like the shape of my body. I like the balance between my emotional and cognitive intelligence. I also like that I have developed an instinctive ability to detect people who are bad for me, and bad people, generally. I can instantly read someone's psychic aura or energy vibrations within minutes of being in their company. This is why the second half of my life has been relatively peaceful and I no longer have to suffer fools or combat villains.
i am getting better at social skills and talking to strangers. My world is expanding. Zen is improving me.
My power to make things happen and overcome obstacles. I am unstoppable.
I like this thread has been resurrected. Excellent question.
My insatiable desire for information. There's always more to read and discover. I quite like coaching people. Because I lay things out in a logical way when I'm doing it - folk tend to pick up what I'm talking about. Nothing like the buzz when someone benefits from the skills you've just taught them . It's also one of the few things I do which feels "natural" in a small group.
I like to advocate for other people if I believe they are being wronged. I don't like to leave people to fend for themselves if I think they are wrongly targeted for something.
It is also something I hate about myself though because I'm also terrible at keeping my mouth shut if something bothers me, and if I don't feel able to release that energy for whatever reason then I can also find myself getting very anxious and/or upset.
I'm also extremely patient and wish I had a good paying repetitive job instead of picking jobs helping people, because I quite like repetition. I knit and crochet for my hobbies which can be VERY repetitive.
I like that I use logical and commonsense in a lot of situations, I like that I'm original and never pretend to be someone that I'm not,
I'm glad you understand. I have to feel to be able to do anything, which I guess is why I just don't enjoy much anymore. Maybe I'll sing again, I don't know tbh. I love my work though, it's something which makes me feel close to those i've lost.
Yes, I can understand, and it makes sense. Music and art is a lot about feeling, sometimes you feel inspired and sometimes not so much. Maybe you'll feel the inspiration again someday.
Thank you. My mum taught me how to sing, but I just don't feel it anymore if that makes sense.
That's a good trait to have, being logical is good :) .
You have a nice singing voice. I hope you will start singing again!
I like that I'm very logical.
I also struggle with that question. I like to think that I'm kind and tolerant, but actually I mean kind in a passive kind of way (i.e. so long as it doesn't require me to expend significant resources, and tolerant of people who don't impinge on my life. But I don't get annoyed easily, and I don't ask much from anyone.
