    Good and not-so good.

    Just thinking this morning how I'd like to wear a skirt in this warmer weather but never could because my legs look awful due to a legacy(sorry no pun intended) from my nursing days-varicose veins
    This set me thinking about what else I don't like about my physical appearance. My teeth for one thing and my developing "turkey" neck for another.
    Then I thought,what DO I like about myself? Well I like that I'm quite tall and have a small(ish) waist (though inevitably expanding year on year). My hairdresser says I have nice hair so I suppose that is a plus.
    On the non-physical side I don't like the fact that I'm not the most confident person in the world and probably go out of my way to avoid confrontation or make someone else feel bad.I am also a worrier ! On the plus side,I hope people think I'm kind and would do things people ask of me to help.I think I'm quite patient but also can"lose it" sometimes.

    Is anyone else inclined to list their good and not-so-good features?

    Nope, I tried Clover and today I can think of nothing I like about misery guts here. In my defence I will add I have yet another chest infection so not at my best.
    I can list good things about my friends that go on endlessly though. 😁

          I think like most I have nothing I really like about myself , when I was young I did have pretty eyes but age has made them sag and wrinkle with everything else ,so them pretty eyes are just eyes now
          I do think I have a kind heart though and love to help and give a little to treat people when I can ,
          I like to think I make a good loyal friend and will fight their corner if I'm needed ,
          I have a temper but these days it hardly appears, these past few years have taught me some things are just not worth the effort of anger ,I'm more tolerant so that's a plus point .
          Im not fat just 6ft too small

            The problem is, we don't see ourselves as other people see us. I have absolutely no idea whether other people think I've got a face like the back end of a bus or am the most gorgeous old woman they know, or the most horrible or one of the nicest!!! Or somewhere in between!

            Clover - I think you've been much more objective - and that is very difficult, so take a bow for your intelligent assessment of yourself.

            GM - just for starters - you have a great sense of humour, and you are clearly a good and loyal friend. Feel better soon. xx

            Oma - I think most of us feel there's nothing we really like about ourselves - it was the way we were brought up, plus if you do say you're good at something, people think you are boasting (or delusional!) - it's just our British culture.

              I used to have very nice hair, a light red colour, now it is very thin and a pepper and salt colour. I was never satisfied with my body image, thought I was a bit overweight but when I look at old pictures I see I was wrong, quite acceptable really. I would have loved to have blue or brown eyes, mine are just a mixture of muddy colours. I also think my nose could be smaller.
              I think I am a good friend, people seem to like my company, I also think I am kind and a good friend. BUT I am outspoken at times which mainly rises when people are rude and bad service I am paying for.

                Its hard to say what my good points are as I don't think I many good points, I'm honest and (fairly ) calm but I do think I open my mouth far too quickly to offer to help when I know I should start to take a back seat and let the younger ones take over...is that a good or not so good point ?
                As for not so good.... I was in the bathroom cleaning my teeth when I noticed a flipping long black hair on my top lip , it wasn't there the previous day, is this going to be a whole new look for me so that's a not so good.

                Another not so good point is my waist, it has blended in with my boobs and hips , its hard to see where the one ends and another begins.

                  Physically there is nothing i really like about myself. I
                  like to think i am kind and helpful. Always ready to help other people,and i'm honest.
                  Sometimes I forget to like posts,but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

                    I like my hair, although less so now I have to colour it!
                    I like my feet, and my eyes. That's it for the physical part!

                    I know I am kind and helpful and loyal. I have plenty of patience. I hope I am fun to be with too!

                    I dislike that I am too empathetic and spend a lot of time worrying over things and people. Like Clover, I could use more confidence in certain areas.
                    I wish I was bold and unembarrassable, but I'm not., Never have been.
                    I often wish I could take back things I have said, as when I think about them I realise it would have been wisest to 'let it go' !

                              You are an absolutely brilliant friend, always there for others no matter what you are going thorough personally. You are fun to be with too.
