Why Do You Like You (I Want Everyone To Reply)

OK, this is really hard for me today, and I feel guilty about writing anything good about myself, but I believe this will be a helpful exercise for us all.

I like myself because:

* I have a small part time job and having that extra money to buy more groceries makes me feel good about myself.

* I study one subject and manage to do the work even when it's hard emotionally.

* I care a lot about my friends.

* I try to overcome my depression.

* I generally keep my house looking nice and that's a source of pride for me.

* I think I am mostly a good mum as I have a happy little girl and her school report last year said she is gaining confidence and self esteem.

* I like my sense of humour.

Ok. I Like myself because:

* I am kind and caring towards others.

* I love my beautiful girlfriend, look after her, and protect her from harm.

* I am generous but careful.

* I am a strong person, even when I don't feel as though I am.

* After all is said and done, I am a good person.

•I love nature and animals.

•I like my sense of humour – though sometimes it makes me sound nuts!

•I like keeping my house clean; it makes me proud of myself.

•I love doing the gardening, I can find relaxing.

•I wear what ever I want and don’t follow trends.

•I fight hard against the voices – even if they do win sometimes.

Wow that was hard to do!

I like myself because:

  • I am full of love for other people, particularly my children.
  • I make an effort to try my hardest all the time to be a good husband, father, scholar, homeowner, son. I often get it wrong, but I do the best I can.
  • I love amateur photography.
  • I am a researcher at the cutting edge of computer science.
  • I have had some of my work published.
  • Despite my wife's chronic mental health problems, my son's autism, and the bad atmosphere in this house, I generally make good decisions for the family.
  • I really do want to get better, I've always fought for help. I am seeing a therapist who is an expert on personality disorders.

OK here goes!

- I am kind and thoughtful. I generally put others before myself and try to see things from others' points of view.

- I am honest, even in situations which are awkward.

- I am pretty clever and also quite insightful. I'm often making connections between seemingly discrete things.

- I seem to have quite a bit of direction in my life now.

- I am able to love and accept others' love for me.

- I have a strong appreciation of beauty, in art, literature, nature and other people.
