How do you feel about yourself?

[bagelbass 29]

In Real life:

 

I've been put through a lot, and I've seen a lot, and I'm only 15. Being a victim of bullying at it's worse, I learned to keep to myself, and ignore what others think about me. As a result, I've since then only looked out for myself, and I've thus became a very selfish person. I'm not generous at all, which is why Rarity is my favorite pony. I'd love to be as generous as her. I'm also very cold hearted, and I'm not open to new things. I'm cynical, and deceitful, but this doesn't mean I'm not a good person at heart...

 

If you got to know me, and are able to look past my hard shell, I'd think you'd find that I am a fantastic person inside, and I truly care and love all my friends and family. I'd love to be able to get out of the shell I hide in, but it's my personality, and I'm not changing anytime soon. I'm a very kind person, and I wish I could show it more.

 

On the Internet:

 

I've had a fantastic online life. I've made great friends and I've been able to show who I really am, and I'm completely thankful for that. I probably spend too much time online as a result

[Midnight Seeker 302]

I'm overweight, socially ackward, graceless, unattractive, more ignorant than I care to be, stupid, a failure and substandard human, flawed, polite, honest, entertaining, lazy, morbid, funny, boring, depressing, uplifting, and the most cheerful sucidal man you could ever meet.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Thank God I didn't respond to this thread a year ago. I used to be a depressed, narcissistic fuck up. I've come to inner peace and found out that I can be a smart, funny guy. Not to mention I'm fairly athletic.

 

I'd give myself a 7/10, I'm happy with myself but i can definitely improve.

[Cloud-Chaser 49]

I'm nice, easy to get along with for sure. Although I'm very insecure about myself, I know I probably shouldn't but I just always have been, on a brighter side I think my best quality is my inspiration and talent for the arts. My brother, sister and I have always been good a drawing, painting and others. Music, photography are the others i'm also very talented at tho I never asked for it. Oh well at least i'm fine at something. I'd have to say i'm an 8, I'm not one of those disgusting preppy d-bag guys.. I have respect for everyone so I don't find most of myself bad.

[Nightfall 3,950]

I don't like speaking of myself in a good way... It makes me feel like I'm bragging...

But I have been called nice before, so I guess I am.

Smart? Maybe... I'll need others to answer that for me.

 

In short, I myself am sometimes disappointed in myself while others at that moment may be impressed, disappointed, or whatever... So I'm not sure about myself, I guess I'm trying to say...

[Lunalicious 223]

I find myself one of the nicest people you will ever meet in real life. I'm easy going and I don't get mad easily. I have the virtues of a kind person. And I'm extremely nice to girls. I have a great social status and I have a well rounded base of knowledge. I am a little disappointed with my body, but I'm still trying to change that. At certain points in life, I will get pessimistic and have negative thoughts, but recently, life has been good to me. Thank Celestia for that. 7.5/10.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

I would say im decently smart and an all around fun guy to be around. I know im not cocky at all.

Im not exactly insecure, but I don't feel like im the best looking.

[Azura 1,107]

I always feel that somepony is stalking me, as if I am always being watched, looking around every now and then even when I am in my room when no one is home.

 

Being nice is quite simple and it always feel good to know you just made somepony's day a little bit better just by saying simple words like Good Morning etc.

 

My grades aren't the best but does the job I suppose, though I'm never proud of my grades that I get but I suppose there is nothing to do except trying harder.

 

Guys flirt with me every now and then due to my personality and looks but mostly for the looks I guess. I never asked a guy why they dig me, maybe I'll ask one day.

 

I'll rate myself 7.5/10 due to my flaws.

[Marceline 187]

I am much more comfortable with myself now than I ever have been. My life has really changed in even the past year alone. My mental and emotional stability have increased significantly, for example; and I even lost some weight!

I was an introvert though, and I still hold some of those qualities; I'm insecure about things, and I'm awful at accepting compliments (I don't know how to react to them), but I am aware of such things, and I work to improve them; that makes me feel good. I feel really happy when I've realized I've improved on something, be it my art or my personality.

 

I'm pretty rough-around-the-edges, but I'm also laid-back. I don't fully open up to everyone, and it often takes me a long time to even slightly open up to anyone at all. I hold my friendships as dear and close as can be, and I treasure every single one I have ever had. I'm good at listening to people and giving advice. I don't conform to gender roles, or modern pop society, and I do my best to keep an open mind.

 

I know I can be really irritable sometimes, and I may snap at someone even though I wasn't irritated at them, but I always explain that to them later. Most people who get to know me understand that it happens, so they don't take things like that to heart when all is said and done. I do my best to control my anger and irritation, and I've gotten a much better grip on it these days.

 

I don't know how to rate myself. . . I wouldn't really, since everyone's got their own preferences. I'll let people decide on their own.

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

well, about me... one one hand, i'm pretty well-versed in the fields i am knowledged in, absorbing knowledge like a sponge and have little trouble completing the tasks i am given in that (mostly). i'm also generally a pretty nice guy and considerate towards the people i care about, and in general, more so than most people tend to be. i've also grown a HELL of a lot as a person last year, and i've become much better at most things in my life, and even learning some new things.

 

however, not all is good, though. i have a hard time showing interest in fields i frankly don't care about at all. i try to get past them, but the results are often with less energy than in the fields i do care about. also, even if i care about people, i have a very hard time socializing in general. i'm a trainwreck there, and it's been dragging me down my whole life as a result. for instance, i haven't had a single friend since last year. and even then, those are online ones, i have no interest, and am keeping my distance, from people IRL at pretty much all times as a result. hell, i probably wouldn't talk to half you guys, or ANY of you guys, on the forums, if this was in real life. no joke, it's that bad.

 

still, though. i'm not really a bad person, i think. just that i have some pretty good sides and pretty bad sides of myself. 7.5/10 sounds like an apt rating of myself.

[Indigo Twirl 7]

I can be a really nice person, which I tend to be most of the times unless something upsets me or sets me off... Then i'm like a ticking bomb and can end up yelling and cursing at people, for almost no reason or little reason at all, but I will not fight whatsoever... I find fighting immature and I will not stoop to such a low level. I am however quite shy, and I can get scared easily...

 

I would say my best quality is my excessive randomness, which tends to make people enjoy being around me, and also my creativeness.

 

Overall I would rate myself a 6/10, above average but not amazing.

[Bronium 512]

I have no idea as to how I am. While it is true, I analyse myself a lot, I tend to ignore the analysis or make significant changes to it constantly. I'm not sure, but right now, I think I'm fairly smart, pretty unattractive, really unhealthy, really boring (which is actually a good thing, in my opinion) and that's pretty much it. I mean, it's not like I hate myself, nor am I in love with myself.

Best quality? I'm not sure if it's my best or my worst (it depends on the other person really) but I love to share new facts and information that I gain. Pretty much share everything (that's not private). Really, I just love to share information about science and stuff like that.

I hate these number scale thingies. I mean, they pretty relative to whoever sees them. 5-7 might be classified as an average, so I'm not really one to rate myself.

[Unexard 50]

I'll answer that question by a simple video:

 

 

I CAN DO THIS!

 

For my best quality, I would say... Generosity, loyalty, cold headed and smart.

 

And I would rate me with a big... 15 out of 10!

 

I'M AWAKE!

[Jokuc 8,173]

Um I'm not gonna make a huge list of things..

But I like everything about myself except three things

1. I don't care about my health.. Like how much I sleep or eat. So I'm very thin :/

2. When people ask me what my opinions and thoughts about some things are I almost always answer "I don't know".

3. Sometimes, not always but sometimes, I can be very very very....very selfish.. Like... I-got-10-bags-of-candy-and-someone-wants-1-small-sweet-but-I-feel-regret-if-giving-it-to-that-person-selfish

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

Um..I have days. One day, when I am upset or mad, I always see myself as an angry person. I do get angry easily. I sometimes see why most people dislike me and it makes me feel like...I should "fix" myself. But on the good days when im in a GREAT mood, I think that I am a great person cause I was made this way and I should be proud of who i am. Sometime I view myself as a nerd in a bad or good way, depending on the situations. I do say that I am a bitch. Meaning, I do NOT take crap from anyone and everyone. I am very snarky and sassy.

[WittyReference 18]

I'm great and perfect in every way. Even my flaws would be perfect if I had any. But I don't because I'm perfect in every concievable way. I'm off to bless the world with my presence. Later peasants.

[CinemaBrony 1,276]

My life so far has been a very mixed bag. While I've developed a great sense of humor and a very unique taste in the media throughout the years, I used to be incredibly anti-social, I never had very many friends throughout my life, I used be easily pissed off by fellow schoolmates (in incidents usually relating to my past annoyances and obsessions, which I used to be constantly teased about), and I'm often very prone to getting super stressed within certain situations. Right now, I'm getting much better in a social sense, but I still have the tendency to be socially awkward and shy, and I often get very tongue-tied whenever I try to speak my mind. But on the other hand, I'm a pretty nice guy when I'm in the proper mood, and I can willingly join in or start up conversations when I really want to. But my social life still needs plenty of improvement. Being part of a wonderful community like this one is really helping me out a great deal. The more addicted I've gotten to MLP:FiM, the more I actually want to go out and make more friends.

 

I'd give myself a 6/10. I've had a mediocre past, but I've been improving a great deal with my social life within the past few years.

[Charming Knight 56]

Pretty simple question - How do you feel about yourself? Are you insecure? Are you stuck up? Do you think you're nice? Do you think you're smart? i think of my self as smart cause i like to know alot of things and show people my knowlege im really insecure ive never been the best looking ever in my life still to this day i am that way, im not stuck up i would say but i at the same time i probably am stuck up? i hope im nice lol i try and not be mean to anyone unless the did something to deserve it first of all, just not how i was raised.

 

What would you say is your best quality? i have been told im loyal dependable hard working caring even though i dont wanna be and just around a great friend is what one of my best friends have told me

What would you rate yourself out of Ten? id give my self a 3/10 honestly i am ashamed of my self and my actions which sadly only pills onto my greater depression

[Otter 1,942]

I guess I like myself. I'm smarter than the average person (Mensa quality intelligence, actually, if the IQ test is to be believed.). However, I'm lazy, so my grades are less than great. I'm not the most sane person in the world. I have a terrible feeling that I'm going to have a life sentence on my hands quite soon. I'm not a "good guy" type of person. I would like to be a good man, but I don't think it's possible for me. Honestly, I'm kind of scared of my future self. I'm a misanthrope. A courteous misanthrope, but a misanthrope nonetheless.

 

I'd rate myself a... 8/10.

[fuzzystuff12 29]

I would say I probably have about as much self esteem issues as any other teenager. I'm generally a nice person. I don't judge people for who they are, or what they are into. I have intelligence I just don't have it in some of those areas I really need it. Overall I have learnt not to take judgement from other people personally, and to not give a shit of what people think of me .

[Carolina 212]

Hm, seems like a fun topic!

 

I think, at the moment, I would give myself a 7.5/10. There are still quite a few things I need to work on, but I actually think my best trait is that I am self-aware and willing to change my behavior and work on flaws.

 

Positives:

Sociable

Creative/imaginative

Like to learn new things

Generally open-minded and tolerant

Have a good sense of humor

Hard working when I want to be

Usually easy going

Self-aware

Passionate

Generally cheerful/bubbly

 

Negatives:

Sometimes gossipy

Dishonest at times

Easily jealous

Worry about dumb shit

Say stupid things without thinking

Messy/disorganized

Complain a lot

Often try too hard, which can be annoying

Annoying

Sometimes lazy

 

As for looks, eh...not too bad, either. I could certainly lose some weight and I wish I was taller, but I'd say I'm kind of pretty-ish.

[Guest]

I tend to look down upon people.

I sometimes feel lonely because although I'm tall, I stand still and everybody seems to pass their eyes right over me.

I don't feel very unique, because I know there are plenty of others out there just like me.

I don't talk much, either; though, I whistle whenever a good breeze heightens my spirits and sways past my limbs.

I lead a very solemn life, often not knowing what to think -- sometimes I believe I don't even have a brain.

 

I suppose I am lucky, though.

I'm constantly surrounded by my friends... At times, however, I'm not sure if that is a blessing or a curse.

I don't have to worry about sleeping, because I hardly ever feel tired -- I don't move much in my sleep, anyways.

I do have those sorts of days, too -- sometimes I feel green with envy whenever I see a group in the distance, just enjoying each other's company, soaking up the sun's warming rays and living the high life in the outdoors' greatest pockets of sublime fresh air

I feel responsible for things out of my control every now and again -- for instance, I saw a squirrel run up my cousin one day to fetch a bird's nest.

My cousin simply wept silently as the squirrel shoved the bird's nest -- along with the unhatched eggs -- out of his hair and onto the ground below.

I felt really bad for the mother when she returned to my cousin, only to find that her nest had gone and her children had died.

I wanted to murder that squirrel, but I couldn't do anything because I felt petrified.

Sometimes I feel as though I am unable to do anything but stand still and watch as each day's events around slowly and irritatingly unfurl around me...

I suppose I am an alright being. At least I have a constant supply of fresh fruit, and I also make my own sugar occasionally.

I'd like to think I lead a leisurely life, because I never have to worry for my own well being -- unless some jack feels like I'm in the way, I mind my own business and observe from my perch on this large hill.

It's really not all that bad.

 

Also, I'm a tree.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

I guess my best quality is that I almost always go with the flow with things. Like if I am with a group of friends and they are arguing about where to go or where to eat out, I am happy with whatever they choose where to go.

 

Kind of like a roller coaster... Somedays I can have a somewhat decent self esteem of myself but a lot of the times I find myself lacking in self esteem. :/

 

I have been told by others that I am too quiet and am weird because I am that way... but honestly the past few months i have been feeling really careless about a lot of things ,numb, if you want to put it that way. I have been feeling a bit better since I hae joined the forums. Just the past few months I have just been feeling kinda just meh :/

 

Neutral/10 - 5/10

Edited September 30, 2012 by Gone ϟ Airbourne

[Cocodrillo 1,565]

Ok before I´ll start, there´s a self-description I´ve written some time ago for a social site.

 

I´m a half-mad melancholic, who´s also a paranoid artist. I´m a schizoid student, who´s also a ruler of the world. I´m a colorful-minded dreamer, who´s also a child of the science. I´m a computer nolifer but I´m also a nature lover. I´m a sarcastic joker but I´m also a shy girl. I love things which I love but I hate people who like exactly the same things.

Also, a typical girl gamer - Fat, ugly and with 4 eyes.

 

 

Ok now a whole new thing - How do I feel about myself? Bad.

I´m socially awkward, stucked in my own opinions, jealous, annoying, lazy, insecure, dishonest - often because I don´t want to hurt someone, not open, paranoid, mad, sad for no obvious reason, trying to be more important than I am, sarcastic and ironic, shy, fat, ugly, insane, competitive, bragging, proud, hating people (for being attention whores etc) and evil in general.

 

I´m not sure how to rate this. Probably 2/10. But according to my head, infinite/10, because I love being myself and I don´t want to be anybody else.

[indySkye 39]

At times I feel like I want to change myself because I've been bullied and picked on... I feel as if people don't like me for who I am. I try and try to change so people would love me more but it doesn't stick to me. In the end, it's those people who need a change- get over the fact that I'm different and learn to accept it because I'm not changing for anyone!
