I'll go later after a few responses.

But share what about you that you are most proud of? It can be a skill, it can be a way of thought, it can just be the way you handled a certian situation. If you could show one quality about you to everyone you meet, what would It be?

Why is that the most important to you? W,hat makes you behave that way?

Also, to even things out, throw in what about you that you'd like to improve. No one is perfect obvouisly :P. Have you even tried to fix this flaw?

Do share, do tell, oh and...as much as possible don't put down your list and then take off from the thread. List threads tend to die off quickly. I bet you have some similar views and goals as some forumites so quote some responses and discuss.


Let's see how this goes.

Im pretty damn proud of my peoples skill, i can wind everyone i want around my finger.. and if i would want to.. use them as a puppet. i can only do this in real life, so dont ask me for a demonstration on this forum ;)

AND, im pretty proud of the way i can handle a football(for the americans, soccerball) ive been playing since ive been little and even though i dont play for a club. i reign supreme on the streets with playing soccer. not that weird though, 3 of my friends have been in proffesional soccer teams and have taught me a thing or 2.

What i would like to improve, hmm.. im sure there are some, just cant think fo any at the moment

Hmm... I used to be most proud of my stomach, but now I need to work on it. Granted there's nothing wrong with it, it's just... I want my cut back. :)

Other than that I think what I'm most proud about myself is that fact that I'm very resilience. I bounce right back in being happy me. Lots of shit happens and life sucks sometimes, but I always end up looking for the brighter sides of things. I love it about me that I'm always going forward, and never held back.

What I would like to change about me is that I'm not very confrontational when it comes to someone close to me. I'm always afraid to hurt the other person, so I hold it inside. It's really bad because I know communication is vital in any relationship yet when something bothers me, I don't speak up right away. It's... complicated. I'm working on it though.

Im proud of the fact that im good at math. Even thought I hate it.

I'm also proud of the fact that I can be extremely quiet when I need to be. Like in class I can sit way in the back of a class for hours and just shut up and take notes. Most people can't even sit down and stay quiet for like 15 minutes.... Yeah.....

so Like me :P yes! But that passion/natural greatness at math faded. Didn't use it for a year and though I'm a quick learner still....It's not as efortless as it once was.

I wish I had that. I can't STAND doing nothing in a class or lectures. I just look at the clock, bounce around, try to think of things, complain...the list goes on.

I would love that skill; kashite kudasai.

Yeah same here. im still good at math and all but when I was like 13-16 was my peak. Now im just above average.

I used to be a extremely talkative person but I just kept practicing being a quiet person until it came to the point where it was natural for me to no onger talk.

The trick is going up all the steps and getting a seat waaaaay in the back of class. That way when you get bored you can scan the classroom and look out for anyone who might do something funny because you have a view of everyone else. Also, try and make it an aisle seat so if you get even more bored you can roll something down the steps, haha.

Also, getting a seat in the back and isolating yourself is a sure way of staying quiet and concentrating on the lecture/lesson.

lol.... Jiant Flying Panda (can I just call you JFP?) - I know what you mean. I used to be this hyperactive, bubbly, cheerful person ALL THE TIME. But I've mellowed out a lot. I tried not to be such an attention getter and loud anymore. I try to be more of a laid back and chill person, talk less, listen more that it's become pretty natural to me.

Sometimes I miss the old me. When I'm always happy and ditzy.. now I'm just boring. Of course I do get hyperactive once in a while, for absolutely no reason. Eh! Growing up sucks sometimes. I think I kinda lost my innocent and flamboyancy somewhere along the way.

This is WHY I NEED TO GET OUTTA HERE!! I feel so STUCK! >_<

I'm small enough to fit in a luggage, anyone want take me in?

I'm fairly proud that I can write to a half decent standard, but the main thing for me would be playing the guitar. It's something I'd wanted to do my whole childhood and it's great now to be at an OK level.

Things I'd like to improve would be my theory knowledge, learn to fingerpick well and non-guitar related wise I'd like to be more empathetic.

Yes I should. About 85% of the time I'm taking notes and just listening to the old man or woman. But even I get bored sometimes so I just mess around with whatever.

Yes you can call me JFP. Most people call me either Panda, JP (my old SN), JFP, Bulbasaur or even my real name. :D

Yeah I've become so closed off. I used to be so open with everyone and try and start conversation but for some reason when I hit like the 10th grade I just stop completely.

It wasn't smooth and subtle at all either. One day I just kept becoming more quieter and quieter until it came to the point where I became that guy that no one knows exist and always sits in the back, lol.

And yeah I do get hyper and more open sometimes but thats only with the closest of my friends. And to be hounest I don't miss my old me. I like the new quiet, shy, nuetral type person I have become.

And sure why the hell not? I'll take you in :)

There a few for me. I have a big ego and I still think that I can do better.

Let's see: That I have written two fictional novels. The first one is 75% done, but the second one is 98% (editing pending and one or two scenes to add)

I like that very much. But actually, I'm more proud of all the countries I have gotten to see on my own doing (virtually no help from family or friends).

There's a few more, but I don't to seem that I'm conceded. So, I'll leave it at that.

Unknown
09-03-2005, 10:32 PM
Like other people here, I love that quiet. Because it gives me super powers like being invisible. Its useful for when I'm late for class, I can just walk in without anyone noticing me.

What I would want to improve is my reading. I just read so much that its starting to be a problem.

Loc
09-03-2005, 10:36 PM
Hmm I'm probably overly critical of people, I seek perfection in everyone...

Saying that, I do have good people skills and get along with most of them, got a good sense of fun and like to go a little wild sometimes.

I procrastinate way too much and have very big ambitions, which could be seen as good or bad.

I'd say I was good to talk to when you have problems too, just what I think though...might be wrong ;x

I feel like I've just wrote some kind of dating agency form ;/

koku
09-03-2005, 10:42 PM
I guess it's my turn.

what I like about myself alot of things, perhaps that's the problem :P

I'm pretty open minded if people get to know me on a real life basis. My best friend(one of them atleast) is bi(he won't admit it unless I gruel him:P), my circle of best friends Is always so diverse. I love that about myself, picking out people who don't talk much mabye because they feel culturally left out and making friends with them.

Trying hard to be open on a people to people basis vs. just ideas is something that I enforceon myself. Hopefully I'd like to be able to say that soccially, I'm like a big giant sponge. I can be put into any situation, sit there and absorb it all before I decide to get the hell out. And unless I'm in total danger or it's extremly outside the norm, I can be pretty comfortable.

What I don't Like about myself.

I am sometimes too proud. Argue too much and try too hard alot of times to convince the other person. Then comes the admiting fault or being wrong if I've gone too far. :P ugh, sorry. I think though, I can and will improve it. Weather if it's just removing myself from the situation more often or being more cautios of how I say things.

phsyicly I don't like my forearms! Crappy skinny forearms make me look skinner than I am.

I think if I argue less, bulk up more, and keep the same attitude I have in life...i'd be pretty sound.

Loc
09-03-2005, 10:48 PM

eeh I need to bulk up too but I always forget to, I hate the gym too, reminds me of sweaty old fat men :(

What I like about myself. My proudest moments, were defending my mom from her boyfriend, and getting strangled by him.
In 4th grade, I was a tough ass mother fucker, but I still was really nice, one of my good friends was mentally retarded. One day, I just happened to come to school early, and I see the retarded kid, getting picked on by a 6th grader, a 6th grader that had been held back a year or two. What do I do? I stick up for him, eventually leading to a fight, where I get my ass kicked. I didn't cry at all, I put up a good fight, this kid was like 6'0 and I was like probably still 4'11 or so. He choke slammed me into the asphalt. I got up and kept fighting. Of course back then I couldn't fight for crap, but I just took the hits.

Qualities I like about myself. I'm open. I stick up for people who need someone to stick up for them. I guess I'm funny, well at least in real life to kids my age. I get over stuff quick, I only moped about that girl for like 2 days, and shoved those feelings down somewhere >.> <.< . I'm pretty good at guitar for my age. I can't shred exactly, but I can do alot, and I know alot of songs.

What I need to improve. I'm hyperactive alot, and it gets annoying. I talk alot in class. Sometimes I get angry at my family members, when I'm going through crap.

Something I'm pretty proud of is being the only non-screwup out of 5 kids.

Something I would like to improve is my Japanese. I'm at the point now where, yeah, I can pretty much speak Japanese, but it's so far from fluent... I want to be able to speak just like Japanese. ???????????

I'm proud that I am naturally athletic, and can catch unto things pretty quickly.

What I want to improve? Well, I would like to first improce my social skills.
I am amazingly shy, as in I can't even look people in the eye, and whenever I accidently make eye contac with someone I break it off right away, and can't make new friends easily, unless im hanging out with them and a bunch of my friends.
This also may contribute to my stuttering, which is nothing severe, but when I am trying to get a word out I sometimes can't, and just repeat the first part 3-5 times, or change it to another word. This is horrible whenever I try to talk to someone I am not too familiar with, or am in an argument. =/

Then I would like to improve my build, I have been excercising frequently, and would like to reep the rewards of bigger more defined muscles sooner.

how much have you learned/studied??

and moo....omg FIX THAT NOW! that's going to get in the way of not only friends but I would think women too. Just force yourself to slowly change it. I took/am taking a speech class right now because I'm not as natural as I'd like to be infront of large crowds of people I don't know. I think it's helping.

I tried, I even took a speech and debate class this term.
The thing is I can speak really clearly, I can project my voice , but my thoughts get jumbled in my head, forcing me to sometimes even get lost when I am speaking. Which really really sucks.

The other thing, I don't know of any way to even try to fix that.

I like the fact that I'm fairly smart, can do fairly well with computers, etc. I can also fence, but I suck mostly at fighting unarmed.
I dislike that fact that I have almost no confidence at all, and the same problem as moo witht he eye contact thing and being shy.

Being 14, I just hope I can improve these things so that they're ready when I need them :-P

kokujin: As I said, I can pretty much speak Japanese. I can have a normal conversation, but have to some words explined to me every so often which really kills it... Idioms, figures of speech, and things like that also need an occasional explaining. I would like to study more, but I lack materials. I can't find any textbooks more advanced than the ones I've already completed (I'm sure there are some online and stuff, but I can't look through them before buying. It's a hit and miss thing that I can't afford) and the only other available materials are for kanji studies. As we all know, studying kanji is as fun as the holocaust. I can read enough to get by in most situations, though. About 350. I've never been able to answer the "How much ______ do you know?" question very well.

well, where/how much did you learn? did you learn by class or what? That's what I wanted to know.

I guess if you've learned all you can from texbooks, find a japanese friend and just learn by trial and error I suppose. The only way :P.

or just move there hah!

And yeah, I guess the way I study now is through e-mail and conversation. And I guess I did move there. But just for 3 months. I studied abroad there and went to a Japanese high school.

Another thing I would like to change about me is my clothes. Man, yardwork is dirty stuff. Unless there are some girls reading this that have a dirty, sweaty, just finished some yardwork man fetish.

Oh, and another thing I'm proud of is not telling dead baby jokes to everyone I know. If I did that, then I wouldn't know anymore people.

Proud: Problem solving ability. I think outside the box, and very rarely fail to find and implement a practical solution when presented with a problem.

Improve: I procrastinate. It's not because I'm lazy, but I just can't get motivated to do something I don't find challenging. If I know how to do something, there is absolutely no satisfaction in actually doing it so I drag my feet.

I don't really know what to say... I'm very critical of myself so it's hard to say what I think is worthy of being proud about. People say I am intelligent and a good fighter, so I guess that's something.

Well alright if there is ONE thing I can say I am proud of it is my etiquette. My mother made damn sure I had some manners growing up. Lots of manners.

I wish I could dedicate myself to studying since I don't have the patience for reading books. I also wish I could be nicer when it is absolutely necessary... I have these strange moods that come every once in a while where I am as cold as ice to even the most distressed people. It doesn't happen all the time, but it is a significant part of my personality.

Hmmm...... I 'spose one the moments in my life that I am most proud of was when I stood up in one of my PharmD classes (doctorate of pharmacy) and said 'awwww, fuck it' and walked out. I spent and entire year interviewing and stuff getting into that program, then when I got there I thought what the hell am I doing here....? I kept staring out the windows at the medical school all day thinking I'm smarter than these peeps and I belong over there. I realized I had gone to pharmacy school for all the wrong reasons, and for all the wrong people....just glad I got out before I blew away 4 more years of school.

I stutter, too, it's no big deal. It kind of sucks when I'm going, "and and and and and" or whatever, but it's not the end of the world. The guy who played Xander on Buffy apparently was a stutterer. I had a horrible speach problem when I was little, I was from Michigan but talked like I was some weird blend of New York-German-Arabic, and pretty much no one outside of the family could understand me until I was like, 5.

Okay, so what this thread is about. . .I am proud of my hair, it's naturally very bright blonde, and wavy, and it's pretty long. I get lots of compliments about my hair. And I'm generally pretty witty, at least in real life, online I dunno if the humor always get's across.

Things I need to improve about myself, I get pissed off at my mom super easily, which is bad. I don't have a temper except when it's with my mom. I love her and all, its just. . .gah. She just annoys me and I get pissed for no reason sometimes.

Pro:
-Human relations filter. I haven't had one enemy that I can rememeber. I'm also good at making 'worth-while' friends, and intimidating people who are obviously out of line.

-Solitude. I actually don't need to be with other other people to be happy, though at the same time, I don't live in a cave. I also work best alone; though I have to be doing something that doesn't involve pencil pushing.

-Pacifism. Flame me online, and I might nip back with some of my reasoning. Flame me in real life, and watch me talk, walk, and if the first two don't work, *run.

-Physical Motivation. I try to keep my body in shape, and am willing to work hard at something that involve such activites. Because of this, I've been told by my senior Capoeira students that I'm getting pretty good; in 2-3weeks of classes. One of them said I was a "real soldier"....:)

Cons:
-I'm verbally boring. Conversations are really not my thing, as I express quite a bit better in writing, and/or by example. JPN students that take the 5 min. class break to talk find me inside doing work, and listening to my trusty MD player.

-**Emotional instability. Sometimes I get days where I want to destroy every picnic table that I see with my right leg. Then at the end of the evening, I want to clean the house. Afterwards, at night, I get in such a good mood that I can't sleep until 4am. This hasn't happened lately, though.



*These cases are generally dependant on the situation; if I see a person being visibly bullied, I'll step up.
**Sometimes my feelings get rocky when I have to deal with someone on a personal matter; yelling back is not an option for me. I prefer taking my rage out on myself, or inanimate objects; never the 'offender', unless the scenario turns to case *.

Pros

Calm: I have pretty good control of my emotions. I rarely get angry, and try I to think things through even in intense situations.

Self-control: I can control my urges for things pretty well. For instance, I decided to stop drinking soda (I use to drink alot). I quit about 3 years or so ago, and have had no problem stopping myself from drinking even a drop since. I also don't drink alcohol* or do any type of drugs. Other things too, but those are some examples.

Confidence: I don't let people step on me and I am happy with who I am. Don't think I need to delve too deeply into that one.

Honest: While not perfect, I am a pretty honest person. This expands to alot of different parts of my life, including admitting when I'm at fault.

Solitude:[Idea stolen from Akitate's post, thanks!] I'm perfectly happy with being alone for extended periods of time. I still enjoy hanging out with people sometimes, but they are not requirements for joy.

Optimist: Self-explanitory.

There's more, but that's good enough for now.

Cons

Procrastination: I wait until the last moment to do things that don't interest me.

Waking up early: I suck at waking up before 8pm. Even if I go to sleep really early I have a hard time getting up. 8-10 is my natural time to wake up (even when going to bed at 5 in the morning).

Percieving female attention: I'm not sure how bad I am with this, but I have a harder time finding out when a woman is interested in me. For instance when people tell me "That girl was checking your out!" I usually respond with "Really? I didn't even notice".

Apathy shield: Side effect from the pro "Calm". Negativity bounces off of me for the most part. The bad thing about this is that sometimes things just don't "sink in" enough. Example- I should feel more emotional towards events such as 9/11 and the current Hurricane damages. I just plain don't. I know it's happening / has happened, I just don't really care much past "oh, that sucks".

Any input on how to improve myself is welcome. I guess that's another pro, I like to improve upon my way of thinking.


*The most alcohol I will drink is sometime a very small sip just to get the taste of something new. I've had a buzz once or twice, but this was when I was younger and that 'sip' ment more. I never plan to get drunk or anything like that though.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things I need to improve about myself, I get pissed off at my mom super easily, which is bad. I don't have a temper except when it's with my mom. I love her and all, its just. . .gah. She just annoys me and I get pissed for no reason sometimes.

I don't get pissed at my mother, but I do get annoyed. I think it's because (at least for me) I know she is one of the few people I can't say no to. If she tells me to do something I have almost no choice but to do it.Between that and the fact she is one of the few people I truely care about... yeah. Once I move out and become independant I doubt this will be a problem.

Forgot to mention that I procrastinate too, probably because I forogot the word.
This is pretty bad when you've got exams, homework, etc as it never gets done until it's too late.
Not so bad is things like animation I'm doing on a flash project, where it's always my end that takes longest, even if it's not too hard. While not being a good thing, it's not as bad as spending all week of my revise time for exams playing Guild Wars (I've since stopped playing it completly) instead of revising, which explains my results. They were good, but I know myself and I know I should be able to do better.

Or should I blame that one on the addictive qualities of MMORPGs?

Tssss..

Pros

Solitude: Ulike most teenagers, I don't need to be around other people at all times to be happy. Sure, firends are great, but I don't NEED them.

Unusual: Yeah, sure this is cliche, but I think it's one of my strengths. I've been told that I'm "failing at being a teenage girl", cuz I have odd hobbies for one my age, don't care about my apperance as much as most people (I don't wear makeup, I don't care about my hair as long as it's out of my face, I'd rather have comfortable clothes than fashionable ones and I normally have quite an impressive collections of scars, scraches and brusies, of which I'm damn proud cuz I earnt them all) and again, the whole solitude thing.

Smart: I have a 3.78 GPA, and proud of it.

Cons

Can't keep my mouth shut: Self explantory. I say what I mean, regardless of if it is going to hurt someone

Self control: Rather, my lack of it.

Doing nothing: I CAN'T sit still and do nothing. I have to be doing something every second of the day. I can't even sleep in, cuz I feel compelled to get up early (around 5am) and do something. Hence, I get bored easily.

I am pretty damn proud of my photographic skils. I would also like to improve my photographic skills. You can never learn too much.

i'm a piss badd procastinator too. If i'm not intersted or If i gauge it's easy enough I can throw together last minute....I do it :P

And when I get away with it it just doesn't help. I can site you examples in where i went from 40% to A or B in a class within the last week or two.

I don't learn :P

but

I remember one instance where I procastinated and it just made me pay for it. I got a C in the class, but I had to read 90% of a boring econ book in like a week and i HATE reading. Try to learn from mistakes I guess. It's working for me...somewhat.
