Good and not-so good.

[Gemini]

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?

Clover, having met you I know you are lovely person, and loyal and caring.
You have a slim figure which I envy!

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. 😁

Grauntie, if you can list good things about your friends, you can bet they can about you too

Body wise I am not too happy with myself this year as the weight has piled on from somewhere and spread everywhere it shouldn't have,I have promised myself a massive revamp once I am feeling better and sticking to it.I quite like my feet and hands and keep them pedicured and manicured on a regular basis I have been told I have nice skin and always have moisturiser handy.I like my hair and spend money on keeping it looking in good condition.
Don't ever cross me though as I can bite back rather sharply but most of the time I have a mild temper and will help anyone in need at any time and support anyone who needs assistance.I have also been told I have a good sense of humour but most Northern girls do anyway.

Oh shucks Gem. You're making me blush but thank you anyway.

[Qwerty]

Gosh that's a difficult one Clover I have been told I have nice legs for my age and I suppose they aren't too bad but I am overweight which I hate and not got the motivation to do anything about it. The first time I met Plant she told me I had lovely blue eyes I havnt forgotten that and realise yeah they were quite bright not so sure now lol, my face is saggy and big boobs which sometimes make me miserable, on my personality I like to be everybody's friend but don't know if that's always possible 😌

[Gemini]

Qwerty, you are an attractive lady, and yes as someone with awful legs, you have nice slim ones! You are fun to be with too

Talking about legs...I think God put my legs on upside down

Isn't it interesting that we are all much more confident about the things we don't like about ourselves, and less confident about our assets, physical and personality. If I could give us all one gift, it would be to realise, deep down, that we are all different, but every one is special in their own unique way. You're a lovely lot of ladies, and I think I'm very lucky to have met up with you - whether online or in person. xx

Gem - thank you.

Looking for posts about varicose veins this came up.
I re read the whole thread and it really made me smile

[Daisy]

Gem, I’ve just reread the whole thread as well. I wonder if anyone would describe themselves differently several years down the line? Some of us have been through some sad and difficult things to deal with, and I’m particularly in awe of the strength and resilience of those who have lost loved OHs and other loved ones. You are all incredibly brave. ❤️

I have enjoyed reading this.

I had to smile reading through these threads and realising my opinion of myself hasn’t changed in 6 years but now I don’t care what I look like there is worse things that can happen to you than saggy eyes and wrinkles 😁🥰
