Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Every 10 Years Forum Go on, flatter yourself

OK, so most of the time all we ever do is say what we're not ahppy about ourselves, or shy away demurely when people flatter us. But just for once lets be a bit vain and flatter ourselves. What do you like about yourself, what are you good at, what makes you pleased to be you? Are you dead sexy, or incredibly talented or fantastic in the sack? This isn't a time for false modesty or hiding your light, it's a time to blow your trumpet and feel just a little bit smug about yourself. Everyone has *something* that they like about themselves even if they also have things that they don't like.

I'll start.

I know I'm kinda cute. I certainly have killer cheekbones and lips that most girls (and a lot of guys) would kill for. I don't know if I'm *really* sexy, but I like the way I look. I like my pointy nose and biggish ears and pointy eyebrows. I didn't used to, but I do now. I'm not classically good looking by a long shot but I think I'm fairly sexy.

I'm also a good artist and writer. There are some things I'm not so good at (hands and feet for example) but I know where my shortcomings are and am working on them. But I also know where my strong points lie and I like the fact that I can draw and create stories that other people like. I've got to the point now where I can take praise for my artistic skills and be happy for what it is. It's praise for something that I do well and it makes me happy. It also makes me happy that something I do, something that I've created wholey on my own or in partnership with someone else, makes other people happy. That's a very good thing.

Plus I know I'm good in bed. Not going into details but I know I'm a good lover.

So how's about everyone else? Don't be shy, tell us why you love you.

i'd say that my strongest asset, would be my easy going nature !!!

i takes a lot to get me mad, or to lose my temper !!

i will always try to see the good in everyone, and i'll try to see a story from both sides, by not making snap judgements and listening to the facts first !!

Matthew.

You wouldn't know it because of my bad spelling but im sort of smart. Also I like to think that I can be quiet creative and arty. I think Im pretty nice but Im probably wrong about that one

I am intelligent and have an off-beat sense of humor. I am very patient with people. I think I am an all round good person. I do see things from a different point of view. I make a lot of "I" statements

I can recognize when I make a mistake (see edit message below)

I am Psychic.I mean,Like REALLY psychic.So Psychic,in fact ,that if I told you what I did,NO ONE,would believe me.And If they did,I would think they're crazy,because no one should know shit that I know at times.(and no ,I can't actually control it all the times)
Example-I touched a girl recently,and knew instantly she was a hooker before.She knew as soon as she touched me and our eyes met,that I knew.I also knew she was abused by her family,and her dad couldn't give a shit.Sad ,sad girl,and really beautiful.
I brought this up gently with her and she pretty much verified it.I can also do other weird shit,which ya wouldnt believe,so I wont bother.

I have very tidy handwriting (usually) and I give kick-ass presents.

I'm right 96.5% of the time.

Bevis, this is a great topic!

I think the fact that I have 3 kids who are really good people is my greatest accomplishment. They are each individuals, very different from each other, but they are all really bright and talented and fun. They are gorgeous, too! I've stayed married to their mother for over 15 years, too, which makes me very proud. I must be doing something right, there.

I classify myself as an artistic type, interested in drawing and painting and singing. I love the entertainment industry; I did well in an acting class a while ago. I love fashion and glamour; I dabbled in photography at one point and got some great shots in a small amount of time. I'm superfun! My friends and I always have a blast! Whenever I can't make an event, I hear how badly I was missed. That's nice.

I have my faults too, but I sure appreciate the outlet to express a touch of positive affirmation!

I space-rawk!

I space-rokk!

Sorry, I got nothin'.

Hey, wait a minute!

I kick @$$!

Not only did I buy my own place this year...!

Not ONLY did I drive HALF-WAY across the freaking country for the WW Dallas LMBP gathering 2004...!

But my best friend, who knows me better than anybody this side of my Mom, asked me to be responsible for his newborn son should anything ever happen to him!

Y'know what???

I -DO- rawk!

Good topic.

First, I know I am a good friend. I have a LOT of people I would consider 'close friends', and some of them I've known since grade school. It seems every year my circle widens, and I've introduced lots of people who have become friends independent of their friendships with me. I'm not super close with my family, so it's always good to know I have my 'other' family, the one I created myself, to depend on.

Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough creative outlets, but I AM pretty good at lots of creative things. I've been in a few local plays and films, and I don't think my acting was half bad (even if I can't bear to watch myself on film). I have done lots of paintings, sketches, and other "crafty" things around my house that I'm proud of. I second guess myself about whether or not they are any good, but some of my stuff has become sort of sought after by my circle of friends, so that makes me feel good.

I feel good that I was able to drop at least 25 lbs this year. I wish I could lose that last 10 more, but 25 is a pretty big feat, and I'm proud of that. I'm not too crazy about the rest of my physical appearance, but I'll admit this: I Like My Hair. It would be great if it wasn't creeping farther back each year, but oh well.

Okay, I'll shut up..BUT I will add that I think I am a pretty good boyfriend. New Year's Resolution #1 is too be a BETTER boyfriend and stop being so damn moody!

Thanks for the topic guys. I was feeling kinda blue and out of sorts today, and this made me feel better.

Ya'll rock!

I think I'm a fairly decent writer, and a decent artist as well, although I'm much more shy about sharing my art with people.

I think I do a fairly good job of being a sincere, friendly, good person. I have a decent sense of humor, and a devilish appreciation for bad puns.

People consider me a wise, knowledgeable fellow, but what do they know?

Everyone brags about their performance in bed, and it's usually an area I generally don't feel a need to brag. But, given the spirit of the topic, I will say that I am proud of both the number of times and the length of time that I can keep women in, shall we say, a state of bliss.

Well, I can say that I know that I’m very charming, especially when I turn it on. I can easily get smiles from just about anyone, and I’ve always been able to win the hearts of women very quickly, even when I’m at my lowest physical appearance wise. I’ve currently got three girls at the bar I work at with huge crushes on me!

I can also say that I’m a good friend, and my devotion to my friends and family is unwavering.

I’ve always been very smart and did extremely well in school in every subject I ever took.

Above all else, I think I’m proud that I’ve always had a massive amount of friends and that people seem to gravitate towards me, and that I usually end up as the unofficial leader of every group of friends I’ve ever been a part of.

Oh yeah, and I’m devilishly handsome!

*And* I know more about Spider-Man than any other living soul!

Peter Parker might know a little bit more than you. Oh wait you did say living soul

Well all in all, I'm just spectacular!!!

As dead men go, sure... Any corpse with all four limbs and its head attached has a distinct advantage over all the rest, I would think.


And yet, NEITHER of them would know as much as the ONE, TRUE Spider-Man... BEN REILLY!

If I were to choose someone to rule the world, I'd choose me.

Oddly enough, I'd choose Mearl.

I can't disagree with that.

Flattery, eh? Get's you no where.

Um...I'm toning up nicely, though not as nicely as I would like, but still.

Pictures!

OK, I'm bumping this up simply because I haven't read any of the responses since I posted the initial post and reading them now has made me happy. There's something terribly pleasing about reading (or hearing) what people actually like abut themselves. No bragging, no conceitedness, just honest pride and pleasure in what you're good at, what makes you pleased to be you. the whole prode being a sin thing... bollocks. Being up yourself is awful, being proud of yourself is nothing but good.
