Title: Tell Me Something You Love About Yourself
Submitted by: Anonymous
I admit that there isn't much I can actually say that I love about myself. I am pale white, really skinny, my teeth aren't straight and sometimes I feel like I got hit in the face with the ugly stick repeatedly. I am shy, I can't keep conversation going, I can't start conversation and I am overall socially awkward. I have no money, I am unemployed and I don't know where I am going with my life. These are all things I hate about myself, but even all of them together doesn't negate the amount of things I love about myself.
One of the things I am always told by people is how kind I am. I am not trying to make myself sound good, but I really am one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. I am the kind of guy who will drop everything, no matter what I am doing, if a friend needs me and go help. I am the kind of guy who will make myself look like a complete idiot just to make somebody else feel better. I am the kind of guy who cares. I am also very creative. I will look at something while walking down the street and make up a story about how it got there in my head. I can read a book and create my own backstorys for characters who the author never gave one. I can turn one word into a novel if I really wanted to. Although these, and many other things about myself, are awesome, they aren't what I really love about myself.
What I really love about myself if that no matter how much ridicule and pain people put me through, no matter how much people make fun of me, no matter how much people stare at me because of my looks, no matter how many people shun me because I am different, I can look at them and I can smile and tell them to have a nice day. I can ignore them and I can feel better about myself than they do about themselves. I can lead a better life than they will and I can be more happy than they ever will be. If ever asked how I am so happy despite all of my flaws I can answer with three words - I am me.
