I've been intending to do this thread for a long time, but this thread ---> http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.402391-Are-You-a-Shy-Guy-Girl-Problems-Thread?page=1 acted as the final trigger. Enough talking about how ugly, unattractive, shy and fat we are! Let's take a moment to focus on our good qualities, even if they're the most basic kind!
As for me, I can think of plenty. I'm taller and bigger than average, and physically not in terrible condition, meaning I'm not someone who can be easily threatened and have more physical presence than most. I'm currently studying land surveying, which has a steady and good job market. I've got a job interview next Thursday, and likely getting the job for summer. I'm good at painting miniatures. I'm slowly but steadily getting better at playing the piano. I very rarely freeze in social situations, and am quite good at improvisation (I once made up an entire presentation about traditional foods on the spot after my Powerpoint file had failed). I adapt quickly to new situations, and have often ended up taking a leading role in things like school projects. I speak three different languages in addition to my mother tongue. I've always had good grades in school. I have a healthy relationship with my family. My health is, I could say, exceptionally good, I get sick only like once every 6 months. Woah, this list got quite long.
TL;DR: What things about yourself are you proud of or consider only positive? Anything counts! No more self-loathing, it's time to be proud of ourselves!
