Only you know what your good traits are. I'm sure if you search deep enough you'll think of some.

l want to say but l don't know if you'll just say them without believing it and thats not the point of the list.....do you have to give her a reason why because l'd tell you then

Just my observations from your posts and responses . . . you appear to approach life~~especially your dealings with others~~from an objective point of view. You consider the merits of both sides of an argument before presenting your own well-informed opinion. You also seem to have a "live and let live" attitude . . .

I believe both of these traits to be very positive . . .

thank you; i'm not looking for what people think my positive traits are, but what you think your positive traits are. what are the good things about you? sorry if i wasn't clear in my post. i was just sharing what got me thinking about the subject, wasn't fishing...i just thought it might be nice for each of us to think about our positives and share them...

my instincts

I've had to do this too, in order to get me out of depression. I asked friends and family to help me as i honestly can't see anything positive about my life just now.

We came up with I'm a good friend, a good listener, I'm doing well at school and they're just a few

hmmm good points l rely on well..

l am accepting of anyone and can be a good listener and hopefully give honest views with a wiser head than l've ever had.

l'm a patient, thoughtful soul

funny when up.

artistic creative

good mom

fun wife... definitely not boring

spiritual

I like myself more than not... when i get bad, i usually blame others (victim to my crisis) and hate my life, not myself.

I used to ask women this in the salon "list three good things about yourself" and many of them had a hard time starting out, much less finishing...

3 good things about me

I'm inside of me.
I'm lonely.
I'm here.


Bet there are thousands of people that think these are 'bad' or 'depressing' things, but never positive. WRONG. I'm alone with the one who created me there's nothing, no one, between me and my beloved.

Loyal, hard working, loving, caring and funny

loyal,hard worker,caring,good listener.Honest.

Ask those that are closest to you.They will tell you why you are special to them.Cos when life is in the downs, it's difficult to form any sense of self.
As well as becoming aware of some of your good traits...those closest may surprise you with other things they value about you. That you have never before thought of..or needed to self-analyse because they run at soul-level.

It's difficult to find self-esteem but I think that the professionals try to coax something out, enough for a future seed.

since you posted this , I'd say your ability to communicate with others and be open to suggestions is a positive trait.
