As folks socialized as women, most of us are taught to be modest and feel embarrassed about saying anything good about ourselves while the "horn tooters" get ahead. I dare you all to list 5 complimentary things about yourself (no one here will see you blush).

Wow, this is a great dare! And also kind of hard. But I love it. *blushes online* And hey, I'll give it a try. In no particular order... 1: I'm good at writing 2: I have a sly sense of humour 3: I'm good at academic studies 4: I'm good at music 5: I like to think I'm a nice person. Most of the time.  Okay, your turn! *gestures at whoever is after her*.  |

Thanks for posting this, lanley - it's a brilliant idea! I'm really looking forward to seeing what people post in this thread - wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone on this forum would post something here?!! And also Erica - I can't think of a time when I've heard you not be a nice person! You're great Okay. I'm going to pretend this isn't difficult...  1. I'm a critical,analytical, logical and independent thinker and this enable me to do useful things such as devise strategies and programs that could assist professionals (for example, teachers) and others in understanding the needs and experiences of those with mental illnesses such as panic disorder and dysthymia. I really like this about myself, because it helps me to support people I love. <3 2. I'm honest. 3. I feel I'm quite good at analysing music from sociological, historical, psychological and technical points of view. 4. I am creative - this makes me an inventive composer and good cook! 5. I like my round hips and the patterns of their pale stretch marks. There! That wasn't impossible... next person **makes gestures of encouragement** you can do it!! |

A great idea! Positivity is always a good thing. OKAY! IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
1 - I am very creative and I can do all that drawing and painting and writing stuff (although music is a bit beyond me).
2 - I have never given a compliment I don't mean and have no intention of this changing.
3 - I am rarely afraid to speak up.
4 - I have high visual-spatial and language types of intelligence, which is sort of a way of saying, 'hey I'm smart' and qualifying it so I don't feel embarrassed.
5 - I am a good cook. (I know, way to fit nicely into my gender role. But it's true. =D)

I really should have mentioned that I got this dare from a different website, transdude.com. My excuse at the time was that I don't think you'll be able to see the original post if you're not a member of the website. But I could be wrong about that.
