OK, let's see. Here's all the stuff I hate about myself:-

-Severe lack of confidence/having zero self-esteem
-Giving off negative impressions all the time without intending to
-Saying odd things to people
-Being unable to stand up for myself properly
-Being unable to protest/argue
-Being severely overwhelmed by lots of things
-Being tall with a stooped neck like a boy
-Being too self-aware and worrying about what people think of me
-Letting other people's thoughts and intentions get to me
-Letting other people's thoughts and intentions take over my life
-Having people laugh/stare at me without doing anything to make people laugh/stare
-Being dissatisfied all the time (non-stop complaining)
-Being unsure of how to accept myself
-Giving off vibes what tell people that I'm simple (even though I'm not)
-Finding responsibilities too pressurizing
-Being anxious and timid all the time
-Letting myself be treated like s**t
-Always doing something wrong all the time
-Meltdowns from aggression/anxiety/depression
-Getting in people's way all the time, physically and emotionally (reminds me of how awkward I am)
-Feeling like a burdan
-Being so shy and scared to speak in social situations
-Having depressing thoughts all the time
-Being frightened of unpredictable things/events
-Being aloof
-Always making a fool of myself
-Lack of intelligence, lack of everything
-Being obsessed with people
-Scared of my own shadow
-Difficulty keeping NT friends
-Extremely emotional (cry easily)
-Avoiding social situations because I've learnt on WP that I give off a blank expression what make people laugh/stare/hate me
-Being The One with the condition, and nobody else in the family

Things I like about myself:-

-Can play the keyboard, with one hand, but using rhythms in background when playing a song, sounding proffessional when recorded onto a tape
-Can tell the difference between somebody being socially awkward, and somebody just being unfriendly or weird or nasty (so basically, have the power to understand people with and without disabilities)
-Have good sense of humour, enjoys a joke, laughs at anything

Can't think of much else

I'll refrain, because I've spent most of my life focusing on what I dislike about myself. I'm trying my hardest to accept both good and bad qualities of who I am, and just live my life the best I can.

Dislikes:

Everything.

edit: honestly though, I think this is the case for most of us, also, definitely don't be worried about showing your face, I really don't think anyone would make fun here.

Like:
* Reasonably intelligent.
* Good non-visual memory.
* Significantly more logical than most people.
* Significantly less emotional than most people.
* Very high confidence.
* Very low anxiety.
* Not so reliant on others for happiness (primarily indirectly, such as gaining enjoyment via the playing of a video game which others have created).

Dislike:
* Poor fine motor skills.
* Poor visual memory.
* Sometimes overconfident.
* Lazy, often to the point of being unable to motivate myself to even do things that I enjoy (which leads to frequent boredom as a direct result).

That's a lot of negativity...

I like myself, and nearly everything about myself.
I love my eyes, I love my smile, I love my intelligence and my strange ways of thinking.
I like the way I don't feel the need to fit in, or to fit social confines.
I love the way I am eccentric, quirky and a bit strange.
I love the fact I have a really good memory, love mathematics and patterns, have a knowledge of "useless information".
I love my hyper-organised chaos.


I don't like the way I am sometimes: I don't like the way that I can't talk about my emotions and feelings.
I don't like the way that with certain people I cannot speak.
I hate the way that I can get easily overwhelmed with my emotions.
I don't like the way I can't understand emotions, facial expressions and body language.

What I Dislike About Myself:

- I change my mind too much. For example, one day I'll have something as my special interest, then sometime later I'll announce that I want nothing to do with it, then a couple of days later I'll go back to obsessing over it because I missed it too much. It keeps going in cycles like that, and I get so frustrated with myself because I want to either be obsessed with something or not be obsessed with it; I'm tired of always going back and forth.

- I never finish what I start. I can't tell you how many times I've bought arts and crafts supplies and left dozens of half-finished projects lying around. Or I'll buy DVDs and video games and only get partway through them before moving onto something else, or worse - never actually getting around to playing/watching them at all.

- I worry too much. I worry about everything: myself (particularly my health and other people's opinions about me), my family, my cat (!), my spirituality, my special interests (specifically my level of dedication towards them and other people's opinions about them), my artwork (whether or not I'm any good at it), the economy and the end of the world. I feel like my worries hold me back and lessen the enjoyment I get out of life, which is distressing to me because I know that my life will probably never get any better than it is now.

- I have a mean streak. I am quick to anger, usually over things which most people wouldn't give a second thought about. I try my best to hide it, but sometimes it shows, and in very unpleasant ways - sometimes to the point of physical violence. I admit that I have been mean to people who didn't deserve it, and I have manipulated people to get my way.

What I Like About Myself:

... I got nothin'. :lol:

What I like about myself: Everything

What I don't like about myself: The fact I don't feel creative/insightful enough to expand this post. It's probably more a lack of motivation.

What I like about myself:

* I'm very smart

* I have empathy for everyone, even people that the rest of society hates (like psychopaths)

* I stand up for what I believe in

* I'm very creative

* I can help people

* I'm very good at the topics I'm most interested in

What I dislike about myself:

* I'm self-centered - I tend to talk and think about myself a lot and not listen very well

* I'm clumsy

* I'm lazy (well, I know it's actually inertia and overload, but I keep thinking it's laziness)

* I can get mean when I'm upset

* if I wanted to I think I could turn off my empathy and become a sadistic person full-time

* I hate my appearance - sometimes I think I'm ugly and I hate it, other times I think I'm beautiful and I hate it (because I associate being beautiful with getting sexual advances)

* I can't make the world perfect just by wanting it to be

What i like about myself:
- i'm smart
- i'm not bad to stare at ;)
- i'm playful

- i'm athletic
- i have some really great friends
- i am very good at explaining things in simple ways that people can understand
- i have a very logical way of thinking that generally keeps me (and anyone that asks my advice on things) out of trouble
- i'm very good with numbers, and hence money
- i'm a great mum
- i'm a great wife - if for no other reason I have read hundreds of books on what men what/love and then apply it

- i'm very good at coming up with unusual solutions that no one else can
- i'm an optimist
.
.
.
.
.
you know what - this list can go on. And not because I am conceited or arrogant, but because I am an optimist and I look for the good in others and in myself. There's lots of things i like about me :) And the list of things i dont like is probably only that in my female opinion my arse and thighs could use a little more toning :P Learn to love urself guys!! :D

I on this thread people are being too hard on themselves.

I dislike my voice mostly, but I also dislike my nervousness about meeting people, even if its my mother.

But I like my mind for being a deep thinker and having lots of ideas. I like my own eyes but not anyone elses.
