No ... you won't be bragging or non-submissive to recognize your strengths and good qualities. I fear no one will reply ... I will start ... As much as I see the flaws in myself, I know a few things to be true: I'm smart and sensitive to others, I'm pretty and don't use that for false gain, I am on the fence politically - I consider each issue on it's merits, I have a big, sappy heart, but I have a logical brain, I appreciate meeting people from all walks of life ... my mind is not closed to growth. I think I am most "proud" of my capacity to "see" people and the world without self-righteous judgement. I owe that to my deceased, silver-spoon, hippy, smart, loving Mom.

Hmmm... to praise oneself without bragging.. Ok.. here goes. i'm smart, brilliant at times and thick as a two-by-four at others, i too have a big sappy heart and am loyal as golden retriever. i am almost always willing to help where i can and offer suggestions when i can't. Hmm Oh.. i most admire that even with ADHD, i am successfully (i hope.. sometimes i wonder) raising a beautiful 9 yr old with a rapier wit just like her mother's.

I'm particularly fond of the fact that as of just moments ago, I was still breathing and above ground. Aside from that, I am amazingly good at locating my socks in the morning and...no matter how hard my housekeeper tries to mess with my head when she puts them away, I always get the right sock on the right foot and the left sock on the left foot with little to no effort on my part whatsoever. I have learned over the years to pet my cats from front to back. This pleases them and insures that they don't pee on my head when I'm sleeping. I feel this is a particularly good trait of mine. I keep myself in as good of shape as I can and often try to fortify my diet, when my schedule doesn't permit me to cook something to take with me, with ding dongs and cheesecake. This has allowed me at 48, not to look a day over 47, 10 months 17 days, 11 hours. Of course knowing that every day science tells us that something we once believed fervently was healthy for us, has now been proven to be unhealthy, and knowing as much about biology and my own body as I do, I have also decided not to be foolish. This understanding has caused me to come to the rational conclusion that within my lifetime, excercise will be proven to cause cancer and I have since opted to sit on my couch laughing at all you skinny bastards who think you're getting one over on me. These are the things I admire most about myself.

Three words come to mind, which is actually a song title from Al Dimiola & Jean Luc Ponty: "Passion, Grace and Fire."

I am intelligent, kind, compassionate, I am giving almost to my own detriment at times (working hard to correct this, so perhaps I do not admire this quality after all). I can be stubborn which is due to deep passions. I am loyal and will not give up, extremely determined... I have a bunch of flaws too though..lol

I have been blessed with a strong, innate ability to communicate with others. At first, I thought it was mainly restricted to writing, as I realized I was a very good writer, being capable of communicating in very complex ways through the different variations one can do with writing. Then I became involved in speech, and I discovered that it was more about communication than the ability to turn a phrase or sentence. For the longest time, teachers and other readers of my work used to talk about how I have a "gift", and I would dismiss it in an almost Socratic way of dismissing the gods because one can never believe one's own ability is more than one perceives of oneself. Part of becoming a more successful writer was to realize that my communication skills are impressive, and since that acceptance, I tend to tone down a lot of my writing so that I can communicate with others rather than to act like I'm smarter than others, something I believe most educated writers tend to overcompensate for in most of their writing endeavors.

I'm fucking brilliant. And I'm great in the sack, but being brilliant is more important to me...

dixicritter -> RE: What Do You Admire About Yourself? (8/26/2006 8:55:33 PM)
I am loyal to my family and friends. I am compassionate and tender hearted. I am willing to help others where I can, or get help if I'm not able. I'm a good listener, I'll let you rant and rave or vent, but don't expect me to have all the answers. I'm smart enough to know when to keep my mouth shut. All in all I'm not a bad person.

I think I am good at being patient with people, but have recently decided there are times when this can be to my own detriment - and I've decided to not be patient in those circumstances anymore. It usually takes a lot to get me really angry (on the other hand, I can get my feelings rather easily hurt sometimes, but I don't react in anger over it, usually. I just cry a lot). I also like to think I can communicate well, and I do have a sense of humor. I also like to think, and don't get bored reading someone else's 3 (or 10)-page on-line diatribe on bdsm topics, for instance. I like to read, especially if the person is a good writer, and their points makes sense to me (unless I am tired, or don't have time for it). I am lousy at answering my e-mail most of the time, though. - Susan

You forgot to add that you are a smartass ... I giggled and found your post most amusing. Sense of humor or irony should be added to your good traits (no joking).

Steelriven -> RE: What Do You Admire About Yourself? (8/26/2006 9:31:47 PM)
I'm me... Simple as that. I can't be reproduced, or have it taken from me. I will always be me.

LuckyAlbatross -> RE: What Do You Admire About Yourself? (8/26/2006 9:33:31 PM)
I admire that I'm far more aware than most people ever imagine, and that most people will ever be in this lifetime. I know how to use underestimation to my complete advantage. I'm very cognizant of exactly what information I do and don't give about myself at any time and almost completely accurate in how that information will be processed and used in the future. I know how to act like I know more than I know, how to act like I know less than I know, and when to know the difference. I also know when not to bullshit at all. Of course that includes this post.

quote: ORIGINAL: babysburnin No ... you won't be bragging or non-submissive to recognize your strengths and good qualities. I fear no one will reply ... Don't even think about it. Of course we'll respond. The one thing I love most about myself is my individuality. I won't sacrifice this for anyone. I enjoy the fact that I'm determined and have a clear understanding of who I am as a woman, parent, and submissive. I appreciate my willingness to compromise, but not to the extent where my needs or boundaries are violated in an unhealthy manner. I'm outspoken and have no difficulty sharing my thoughts and opinions. My personality is engaging and my demeanor is well rounded. I can converse on a variety of topics and I thoroughly understand that life should and does exist outside of the BDSM world. In other words, I have balance. I'm patient and appreciate the value found in denial and waiting for things to come. I find enjoyment in the simple and appreciate the little moments that many overlook. My compassion and concern for my fellow man has continued to grow. What pleases me most is the discovery of my purpose and the drive I possess to fulfill those dreams and my destiny. I am perfectly flawed and utterly me. There is very little that I would change. porcelaine

redpetals -> RE: What Do You Admire About Yourself? (8/26/2006 11:02:40 PM)
i just asked my youngest child ( good lord... my youngest is 19!!!)...and "openess" was what she said. good thing i checked first because i was going to say that my best quality is my ability to accept things. accept people.(even liberals) i practice tolerance..and nurture/encourage it in all of my relationships. it is my way of trying to make my tiny piece of this crazy ass world a little "better"

Homestead -> RE: What Do You Admire About Yourself? (8/26/2006 11:11:50 PM)
My ability to learn, and adjust from the new knowledge.

Sunshine119 -> RE: What Do You Admire About Yourself? (8/27/2006 12:35:02 AM)
I'm extremely ethical, will fight injustice with every breath and am passionate about life, love, living and yes...HIM!

RavenMuse -> RE: What Do You Admire About Yourself? (8/27/2006 2:54:46 AM)
OK this is aimed at subs (else it would be in a diffrent forum) so I'm going to respond in a slightly diffrent vein. What I Admire (And look for) in a sub/slave.... Strength, submission (of course), emotional maturity, determination, patience, communication, sense of humour, attention to detail, passion and NOT a doormat.

sublizzie -> RE: What Do You Admire About Yourself? (8/27/2006 5:06:24 AM)
One can always see their own flaws better than they can see their good points. This makes it difficult to find your good points sometimes. Fortunately I've just spent the past few years having people insist that I look for and enumerate my good points so I think I can access a few of them.... I have a sense of humor. I enjoy words. I am intelligent though sometimes I can't spell worth spit. I love serving other people but have come to realize that not everyone deserves the level of service that I am able to provide so I have learned to NOT serve everyone who wants to be served. IOW, I'm able to learn from my mistakes and not repeat them. I am accepting of other people though if I believe they are doing something abusive I will argue the point with them. I am perfectly able to accept someone even if I disagree with them. I am a good friend because I listen and care. I am a good worker because I care about doing a good job. I hope I was a good mother. We're now in the stage where we wait to see if I did a good job or not.... I am uniquely me and happy with who I am. I'm not everyone's cuppa tea, but that isn't my goal in life anymore. Just looking to be one person's at this point.....

Littlepita -> RE: What Do You Admire About Yourself? (8/27/2006 6:03:45 AM)
What I like most about myself is my huge capacity to love. When I love I do it fully and to my very best ability. I am attractive, witty, flirtatious, bright, passionate about my beliefs, sensitive, intuitive, and highly sexual. I have been told by many that I am a good woman and that pleases me very much.
