Hate: When I get upset I yell hurtful things at the people I love, and I can't seem to stop doing that.
Love: I love how deeply I think about things, how I analyze all sorts of things and feel passionate about learning more and understanding more all the time.

Hate:
How quick I am to anger.
Needless worrying.
My tendency to 'read' people and the prangs that come from that.
How slow I am with correspondence on here.
Feeling inferior to Paras and Quads and that horrid little nagging voice that says due to only having mild CP, I don't belong here.
Love:
I can shut up the aforementioned voice with some of the great friendships, both past and present, in my 3 years here.
My taste in music. It makes me feel good and builds bonds.
That numb feeling I get in my legs when lying down for too long, ditto the spasms. They're rather pleasant.
That smile.
How comfortable I am with liking things about myself. No longer am I scared of being seen as an ego-centric arse. Well, that's a lie, I still am. But not as much.

Hate:
*My weight
*Quick to anger
*Holding grudges
*Withholding affection when I feel hurt
*Hiding my vulnerability with brashness
*Inability to be objective when emotionally challenged
*Always wanting to win and/or have the last word
*Making the same mistakes over and over, especially in relationships
*Ignoring my intuition because I don't trust myself
Love:
*My smile
*My eyes
*My strength, physical and mental, I'm seriously strong and I love lifting weights
*My vision, as in goal-setting and dreaming for the future
*My determination to make things happen
*My intelligence
*My ability to write, to create an entire world from nothing
*My ability to compartmentalize my life. I can be sobbing my heart out before I go to work, and then, immerse myself in the vibe at work and not only be happy, but try to bring my coworkers up emotionally as well.
I'm a contradiction. The things that give me strength can sabotage my relationships. I am incredibly vulnerable, so I launch myself into uncertain situations.
I'm a little scary. All my daughters' boyfriends/husbands were/are scared of me. I can be incredibly mean one moment and offer genuine compassion the next.
I allow myself to feel everything, and I get hurt a lot. I cry when I'm alone but I laugh it out around others.
I make people laugh and feel valued, because I crave that for myself.
I'm lonely, but I actively push people away. I like being by myself, yet I also love to go out, go dancing, etc.
I'm a hot mess, but what I love about myself outweighs what I hate.

Name one thing you hate about yourself and one thing you love about yourself
What is your answer? one thing that I hate about myself is that I can't answer those kinds of questions with certainty, I feel like I don't know myself. The thing I love about myself is something I was told by multiple people "I'm fun to talk to" people feel comfortable and relaxed talking to me, which is something I'm very proud of. |

I am quite a self conscious person who takes pride in my appearance, I therefore HATE my belly! Not much a quad can do about it though I do constantly diet to keep my weight at an acceptable level - 172lbs (12st 4lbs) which I think isn't too bad for a 6ft tall guy! I'd love a tummy tuck.
I LIKE the fact I can talk to anyone, friend or stranger, with total confidence - nothing fazes me!

I’m reading (don’t laugh) The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People right now, and one thing I really took to heart is this idea:
In choosing our response to circumstance, we powerfully affect our circumstance.
So, I’m choosing to not be reactive and hate things about myself, instead I’m working to change them. And for the circumstances in my life which I can’t change, I’m working to change how they affect me.
It maybe sounds silly, but it’s helping, and I recommend the book to anyone who feels controlled by negative thoughts. ❤️

Hey MrNiceGuy - you know where I'm coming from. Wish I could make peace with mine instead of constantly trying to hide / cover it up! |

I love my intellect, patience, and enthusiasm for new ideas.
I hate my chronic disorganization and how easily I become overwhelmed.

Love:
-I work my butt off and manage my time fairly well considering all of my obligations and responsibilities
-I enjoy meeting people. I’ve been told I’m particularly friendly and make people feel good about themselves
-I am always trying to better myself, and pay close attention to everything I do so I can decide if it’s something I think is good for me or not.
-I am naively optimistic and enjoy the vast majority of things I do. I even like waiting in traffic and doctors offices.
-My relationships with my family, friends, and she who shall not be named.
Hate:
-I put a lot of pressure on myself, and occasionally find myself feeling guilty about having recreational/fun time that could’ve been spent more productively
-I’m a mildly picky eater, and don’t try new things as much as I should
-I don’t sleep enough, or do any activities like physical therapy that would probably be good for me.
-Sometimes I can get too wrapped up in my own work and prioritize my work over others (more than I wish)
