What Makes You You?

[jennifer0506]

Everyone in this world is special,
Think of the thing that makes you special. Everyone has something. I'm talking about inside, think of something you like about yourself, and that you know makes you you.

Mine is,
My ability to help other people, and offer them good advice. It makes me feel good to know i am the person people look on as a rock, even if i am hardly a rock really.
My morals also. I have strong simple morals, that i always keep too, and i feel this makes me me, it makes me dedicated, committed, and never unfaithful. It makes me a true friend, and a good girlfriend.


So whats everyone elses? this made me feel quite a bit better.

My honesty and my quirky, sometimes dorky, personality :-)

Nic you are not quirky or dorky....

My direct and sometimes blunt personality. Some people like it, and others can't deal with it. Oh well, their issue not mine. I would rather be blunt than be a kiss ass.

Great reflection question!

I would say my individuality stems from -

Enthusiasm and passion when engaged with people and projects.

Sarcasm in a fun light way ...

Sensitivity to others

Open minded and accepting of other's differences

Highly creative - always thinking out of the box

I have very high ethics. I always do what I say I'm going to do.

I make a faithful friend.

When I truly care about someone, I'd give them the shirt off my back.
(all this makes me wonder why I keep getting treated like sh***t?)

Hmmm...that's a very good question, jennifer0506!

I would say much of it is that I am very blunt - almost too honest - and call things like I see them. I can always be counted on for that (although it's not always a good thing to everyone), and for giving good advice.

...being dark. I'm right at home with Giger.

 

[jennifer0506]

Indeed, i am very blunt too. Quite a few people don't like it, sometimes it does hurt feelings.

Maybe it is sometimes the best way to be though, means your not two facedd!

I think its better to see the positive in sometimes can-be negative traits. Everything comes in handy sometimes even anger, i guess.

I'm a genuine person. Because of what all I've been through, there isn't much in this life I can't identify with and help a person grab their bootstraps and get back up and keep going.......... it isn't over til it's over. There's still time. Even if it's only right here, right now.

Me...I have been a helper and always interested in human behaviour since I was about 12 and began volunteering at the hospital and at a nearby nursing home, helped take care of my father and then went on to be a nurse. It has made me me in that I often worry because i know too many adverse reactions, Iworked palliative care and have seen and been involved in more deaths than i can count..attended funerals too, something I cannot do now. I am a bit of a geramaphobe due to my nursing background and I attempt to live nursing in real life and I had to learn to relax at home....no one is going to die....in any way. due to the house I HAD to take 6 more months...yah! anyway i keep having to tell myself, donèt worry, it is just like camping...LOL...I feel like I try to have a good sense of humour at times and have definately passed that down to my son. He is actually re-teaching me because I was numb for a number of years. In a way...we help each other!

What makes me, me? Hmmm... I've got a bizarro sense of humour when I'm feeling well. If they are twisted like me, I can make someone piss their pants in 1 minute flat from a dead start. Others will raise theire eyebrows in a way that makes me feel less than understood, shall we say ;P

I am a good friend, and for several of my female friends, the place they turn for a shoulder to cry on, or to vent/sound out their troubles. I try to be helpful and supportive, even if I feel like shit myself.

I am very creative (again, goes with better moods) play the guitar fairly well, do photography sometimes and the odd poem or sketch. Yeah, that's me... the good stuff anyway ;P

Everything that I have done in my life, good, bad or indifferent, every experience, every person I have met who has touched my life, every lesson learnt and every step I take makes me who I am today.

I like me, I am who I am.
