There are too many depressing threads on this site. Let's make a happy free-for all about things we like about ourselves! You can talk about your appearance, your skills, your personality, whatever. Just anything that makes you even the slightest bit proud to be yourself.
NOTE: This isn't a "OMFG I'm so awesome Imma go brag about myself" thread. This isn't about arrogance. It's about the fact that everyone should try to find something about themselves they're proud of and happy with, because everyone has something good about them. Even Nazis loved kittens.
Me:
-My eyes. I have very, very large eyes (which don't stand out too much because I also have a very, very large head), and I have central heterochromia. The rings are fairly standard--orangey-brown around the pupil, blue-gray around that--but my eyes are so large that both rings really pop and are of equal thickness. Additionally, the blue-gray part of my eyes is really reflective, so depending on my surroundings my eyes can look blue or gray or green or even hazel. If I was tall, skinny, had 34DD boobs, had more than three life skills, and was less insufferable in general, I would be a real life Mary Sue.
EDIT: Apparently the orangey brown part of my eyes is called gold (as in, my eyes are gold-to-blue). I am that much closer to becoming a Mary Sueif you ignore the fact that the outer ring of color is considered the eye's "true color" of people with central heterochromia.
-My intellect. It doesn't come off very well, because most people on here are smarter or at least more eloquent than me while online. It's weird, because when I'm writing for school the words just flow out and as soon as I open a browser I'm all HURR DURR WHAT ARE WORDS. But I digress. I don't actually know my IQ, but while I know it's nowhere near genius level, I know a whole hell of a lot of stuff. I'm not claiming to be wise or an intellectual superpower, but I'm pretty damn smart. I don't apply or organize myself so this isn't reflected in my grades or any sort of records, but I talk a lot to the point where I often overwhelm my parents with the mass of information I store in my head, even if 90% of it is useless facts.
FUN FACT: I'm pretty convinced every non-Hastings in the Pretty Little Liars universe has an IQ of 100 or less because that's the only way Spencer could be considered a genius for knowing 5-syllable words and taking college classes. I friggin' do that stuff, and I'm not even a particularly high achiever.
-My vocabulary. Again, not particularly obvious on here, but I've actually been capable of reading at a college level since I was 8 or 9. I don't, because I basically like satire and low fantasy and weird fiction and various crossovers of the three and that's about it in terms of genres. It's not like I don't read classics and enjoy them, but I never seek them out on my own.I also really want to start collecting gay pulp fiction but that's more for the comic value than anything else.
SO. What do you like about yourself? No, "nothing" isn't an answer. If you've searched the very depths of your soul and still haven't come up with anything to like, I recommend talking to someone about that because it's clear you have at the very least severely low self-esteem and quite probably some sort of emotional issue.
