    Let's try something new. This time, you must give a brief, honest opinion about yourself.
    You must include a positive and a negative side. Even if it's hard, you can't pick only one of them.
    Being self aware and acknowledging different parts of your life helps you build yourself the way you want.
    Talk about high and low points in your life.
    Talk about what you're proud and ashamed of.
    Talk about what you like about yourself, and about what you don't.
    Mention things you've done, go wild, this is online.
    I'm mostly fond of my life. I'm proud of my work and my personality. I'm in a long, successful relationship with an amazing girl, I'm in great shape, I'm extroverted and passionate about different topics and that gradually builds my career path in a good direction.

    But man, I can be a fucking pain in the ass sometimes. I get into arguments and fights and I just can't let go. I keep going even when I know it's the wrong thing to do. I seek for people's pride too much and care too much for people's perception of me sometimes, even when it's not necessary and just adds stress to my life. When arguments heat up, I tend to cross the line instead of controlling everyone's feeling and walking out of it like a champ, even when I know how to.
    Your turn.

    When regarding high and low points in my life, I'm very much at a stall. I'm not depressed, nor incredibly happy; I'm at that point where I say, "Okay... so what am I doing with my life?"

    I really plan on striving to find what I enjoy. I know for a fact I have the ability to do so; it's just a matter of finding the right groove. I'm excited to grow up, I want to be busy most days.

    I'm mostly introverted which is why I'm here. I have myself to blame for that. For me, using online communities (especially this one) is much easier than going out and finding friends in the real world.

    (thank you for doing this, mint. sometimes it's important that we open up on our thoughts.)

    i really admire the desires that i have. i have large goals, there's a lot of things i want/ have to do, and i just have a lot of things to do. on another note, i also admire my own dedication to certain things.

    on the contrary to above, i have severe diagnosed depression, so while finding something i enjoy isn't hard, it's very hard to stick with it for more than a couple of hours before i lose interest or consider it to have no meaning.

    tbh to myself- i'm not a big fan of myself. i don't really see a meaning to anything at all, and while that sounds incredibly edgy and stupid, it's what i believe. though i do believe these things, i recognize that i do have goals and aspirations that i could easily achieve if i found the correct motivation.

    tldr; no motivation, big goals, stupid kid, yes

    a high on my life is never being depressed, I have never wanted to hurt myself nor others. a low though is I'm quite annoying to some people.

    I'm proud that I have a lot of irl friends that can help me out sometimes and when I'm bored I can hang out with them
    only person that I need in my life is my dad, he supports me and takes care of me

    my music taste is very odd, I like a lot of hard rap and sometimes I can like a very chill song. I like anything but country and very heavy metal.
    accidentally fell asleep at my ex gfs house on a weekend.

    I think I'm fairly smart, but can make stupid decisions and say stupid shit.

    oh yea I love playing and watching sports so I'm active. I don't lift weights or anything like that, just play basketball for 4-6 hours at a time.

    one thing about my life that I hate(but I couldn't control) is how I had to move in with my dad. my mom was a drug addict and it forced me to move in with my dad(I would have done this anyways). thankfully all of this happened when I was visiting my dad for the summer. one of my uncles even manufactured meth, and got my other uncle in to it.

    lastly I don't like some people in my life, and some of my family members I wish I could see more often, and others stay away from.

    i think my highest points are my personality; i have a very outgoing and fun personality, and i am frequently complimented for it. i think i take this from my parents, who have always been outgoing, kind people. i'm very thankful to not be an introverted person as i love being like this. this is why quarantine has been so shit for me cause i hate being alone (usually am anyway, but i really really really really really hate it). i also admire my talent for crafting music, hip hop in particular (JOEY is coming along well ;]]]]]]).

    i think my biggest fault is not being able to handle my emotions very well. in fact, my personality/jokes stem from this, as i frequently use depreciation as a form of expression or coping even. it really hits home for me as i feel like i'm only meant to be a jokey guy, a clown, and i'm not built to have that side. i think about it a lot and it's really the thing that kills me. i think it's the reason i can't fully articulate my feelings towards people, or handle them in healthy, mature ways. i also think this is where my toxicity comes from (i can't control it very well, i have been trying, but it usually just slips out).

    tl;dr - i love being extroverted, but i hate my emotional control, or lack thereof

    i fw this idea heavy bro, thank you for making this.

    Big respect to all the guys who posted here so far. You made serious, honest and well thought-out posts that truly reveal you in a positive and negative way, and that's exactly what I wanted this thread to be. Proud of you guys.

    Positive:
    In a matter of months, I’ve been able to get real close to the job I had as a career goal (and it was originally so far away in my mind). So I’d like to think this shows determination, and having flexibility to take opportunities as they come.

    I feel that I get to know more things about myself everyday. Instead of having this untrue perspective of who I am in my mind, I am seeing me for me. Otherwise I get frustrated when someone tells me I’m ‘this’ or something does not turn out as expected for me. Now, when I do something outside that picture perfect perspective, I have that acceptance and tell myself ‘this is who I am. But it doesn’t have to be who I will be.’ I think it’s important to accept who we are but still keep in mind that we can change. I am more self aware and have made small changes in who I am or my life and I think it has improved things for me.


    Negative:
    I have been a hypocrite. Especially to my dad (I live with) as I put down big expectations for him to do this and that around the house but I do nothing during the week. Even though I get home late from work, there are about two hours I spend relaxing before going to sleep so I could do something to help out during then. I shouldn’t have expectations that I can’t live up to myself...It is something I have become aware of due to the repetition and I should see how I can change this.

    I think my introvert side stopped me from experiencing a lot of life when in university. However, although I want to make myself more social, I am so tired when I get home from work I just want to go to sleep. Weekends are fine but still limited for social time. Due to me not doing anything during the week, I have to pick up my slack on the weekends. When I’m at work I’m social. I have to get my work done though and ignore my craving to just waste time and chat to people. I crave the social interaction because I can’t get it anywhere else or at any other time. Now that COVID is happening and I’m working from home...I think I’m going to suffer. That’s why I’ve become more active on here. Just to have some interactions while in lockdown. But when COVID is over, I need to plan things with people to go out and not think that I could be at home laying in bed watching Netflix. I need to change my lifestyle to accommodate socialising but still have time to recharge my battery for my introvert side.

    Positives
    • I care about the earth and about global warming and people.
    • I like everybody and accept everybody in different ways.
    • If I put my mind to something I am really interested about I try everything and grind for it.
    • I respect everyone's opinion on any topic and do not think that my own opinion is better than theirs.
    • I have a thick shell from getting bullied in school a lot.
    Negatives
    • I am quite a clown so sometimes I might do a joke that might hurt someone's feelings and just make me feel quite bad.
    • I hate school a lot which makes my school work and everything related to it very slow
    • My immune system is really bad so I haven't been in school for 400 hours due to all of my illnesses.
    • I smoke way more than an average person, about 15 a day which makes my health really bad
    • When I feel really down or just wanna die I usually smoke weed or drink alcohol which also doesn't help my health
    • Pretty scared about anything new
    • My mental state isn't really the best at the moment due to my family living the opposite side of the earth
    • Depressed and don't feel like I am going to make an impact on the world.
    Overrall I am a pretty broken and a sad person inside but I am trying to be positive on the outside trying to make other's days while not trying them to worry about my own state, I really wanna make everyone in the world happy and be comfortable with their selfs which is really ironic because I am not at all about that and this is pretty much the first time saying any of this. I put everybody else ahead of me than myself.
    I had an experience with my older brother that I was one day playing with my harmonica in the bed at 2pm but he just woke up and told me to stop and I said that "Why would I, it is 2pm" I could of had stopped but I didn't and when I went out I came back home with my 1200€ pc destroyed on my room.
    Of course he had expensive stuff like his guitar, Xbox, and a tv but I decided not to break any of them because it would overrall make his day worst.
    I even gave out my Xbox One to my sister's in Turkey so they would have way more fun there. But hey I just try to make everyone else around me happy and enjoy their day and I'll try to fix mine.

    tbh

    I am honestly a relatable person that always tries to match the energy of the people I’m with, especially if I feel a connection with them. I always try to look on the positive side of life after losing so much in my past.

    I am also far too clingy and sometimes immature with my actions despite knowing the consequences. I almost always ignore things that could benefit my future because I’m either too lazy or ignorant to put effort into something.

    Pretty cool thread, I usually shit post but this thread actually made me think about myself for a while.
    Nice to see others open up so much too about themselves and have a moment of self reflect,
    something I personally think people lack these days.
