I figured it would be nice to have some self love over the holidays and this is a pretty direct approach.
I can start:
I like my curiosity. I like wondering what would happen if I did things differently and so I’m open to new approaches and experiences. What about you?
My fat ass
I’m pretty chill at all times. The few times I’ve not been chill have been when someone I love was literally being attacked and I had to help them. It’s a pretty nice way to live, though its caused me no shortage of conflicts (a former boss called me a “leadership challenge”, which was basically code for “you don’t react when I yell at you and I don’t know any other way to be in charge”).
edit: I’m also a really good dog owner. When I got her, my husky was underweight, had poor social skills, and was kind of an anxious mess. Over the last year she’s bulked way up and it’s almost all muscle, she’s super well behaved and good with strange dogs, and can relax and entertain herself even when I’m not around. She’s not a show dog but people ask me if she is which is funny because I feel like I’m just doing normal stuff.

This is such a great power play, because it isn’t even a power play. To you, this is nothing. To your boss, it was everything.
Things I like about myself? Uhhh…
My ability to smell bullshit is pretty good, I guess?
Shneef scheef
i get told i’m pretty often which makes me feel gooey even if it’s the wrong kind of pretty. it hit different when i was told this by some lesbian friends-of-a-friend.
people seem naturally drawn to me despite my social anxiety and apparently i’m some awesome conversationalist despite how much it depletes me. i have some ability to convince people of stuff. i’ve been trying to use my powers to radicalize people now. not sure if i’m really that good or my himboness just clouds people’s brains.
yep you become designated “a good listener”.
do you also make a point to always reference things they tell you, trying to continuously integrate their thoughts and feelings in the convo? feels like sometimes i am accidentally doing therapy sessions.
I’m hot as hell
