Honestly that is a not a question I should be asking. However, yesterday I was reading a post by someone online in which the lady expressed how she hates herself and stuff like that. It made me feel really sad. I am sure all you myloters are not like that. So the questions is what do you like about yourself? Which of your characteristic features do you like about yourself? You can talk about physical or psychological traits here.

I like myself, most of the time. IF I am taking care of my health and other things I feel good. I do not hate myself ever, but sometimes hate the situation I am in at the time.

@GardenGerty That is a very positive outlook and I love it. We cannot love all the situations that we are in. I agree with that completely.

In the past I did not use to like myself. First of all because I was chubby when I was younger, and second of all my teeth were crooked. Once the years went by, I started growing up so I looked thinner, and also I started working out so now I feel better and I definitely love myself. As for my teeth my mom paid an orthodontist to fix my teeth so I wore braces for a year and a half, and now they look better. I feel more comfortable with myself now!

@jvicentevalera I am glad that you have worked on yourself and you are happy with who you are now. Life is good and we ought to enjoy it. We can't do that if we don't love ourselves.

@sofssu Exactly. However there are certain insecurities that are still there, but I definitely have to work on them by being kind and understanding with myself! Thanks for making such a good post that helps us all open up a little.

LOL @nela13 no one is perfect. If we waited to be perfect to love ourselves we can never do that. I have my own shortcomings but I won't let that come in the way of liking myself. The most important thing is to be aware and you are.. that is awesome.

I never liked myself, for many years. Any compliments from others made me suspicious, what they might want from me. Now, I realize that I'm no different than anyone else. Looks wise, I'm average, not considered beautiful or ugly. I've received comments about my eyes, their pretty color. It's different, not blue and not green, they are turquoise. So I guess that's a positive thought.

I think most people go through that feeling of not liking themselves. I still feel that way sometimes. but I've learned to accept who I am and that I can't change everything I don't like about myself, and to not stress because that only makes it worse. I guess I like that I'm creative, funny (well, I think I am, not everyone else does ), and usually stay pretty positive. I also make a mean grilled cheese sandwich so I hope that counts for something lol. what I like is that we're all works in progress. we're not perfect but that's what's so fun about life! best not to stress

@isweartokira I agree all of us go through phases of like or dislike. But its all about accepting that we 'll never be perfect and do the best with what we have. I always call myself work in progress.. everyone is. Creative, funny , positive and a good cook is something lots of people want to be. Wonderful.
