Hi, Lisa,
Great thread, it’s really good to think about myself and face the areas that need improvement. Just so you know, I have always felt an affinity with you on-line, and I think you would be a great friend to have.
Ok, my faults:
I don’t communicate negative emotions very well
I let my husband walk all over me
I try to resist making new friends, or letting anyone new into my life more than superficially
I tend to be a hermit
I NEVER exercise, and I need to lose at least 30 pounds to get back to pre-baby weight (the “baby” is 2 ½! lol)
I only read fiction, never anything that’s good for my mind
I haven’t made any effort to pursue a degree
I can write you off, and never speak to you again without looking back if you deliberately hurt me
I spend too much time at work on the Internet
I watch too much TV
Now the good stuff
I am a wonderful mother, who spends as much time with my son as I can, discipline him with love not anger, and praise him at every opportunity to build his self esteem
If you are my friend, I will do anything for you
I am very intelligent, and learn pretty quickly
I am funny, and people enjoy spending time with me
I am able to admit when I am wrong, and will try to correct the error
I have become a better judge of people
I am a good employee, even though I goof off, I always get more done than anyone else
I try to speak tactfully to everyone, even when I’m angry
I hardly ever get angry
I am a positive and optimistic person
I don't think the world revolves around me and my feelings
(ok, I cheated, there's one more positive than negative thing, but that's how I can maintain my self esteem )
