Fandom Snowflake Challenge, Day 11

[kate]

Day 11: In your own space, make a list of at least 3 things that you like about yourself.

Oh, this is so good. You know, for such a group of lovely, talented people, I see so much doubt and feelings of inadequacy and imposter syndrome. YOU ARE ALL WONDERFUL. Go forth and tell everyone why.

Things about me I like:
1. My enthusiasm. I feel like my enthusiasm is infectious and I love fandom because it can catch fire if you want it enough.
2. My intelligence. Feeling like I need to curb this (and have been my entire life) because I can be a bit overbearing about it (I enjoy being right). Learning that I still need to learn things has been helpful there.
3. My desire to help people. I spend a lot of time helping folks, and it's one of the things I like best about myself.

Your enthusiasm is truly amazing and your smarts shine through in your writing <3

[trascendenza]

Yay for all these things! Celebrating ourselves is so important :D And being aware that there's always more to learn is a good place to be, I think.

<3 Thank you!

[kate]

Yeah, I am constantly reminding myself that there is more to learn, even in areas I know a whole lot. It's good, at least for me. :)

All of these are awesome. Re #2: I enjoy being right too, lol.

[kate]

Hahaha, it can be both addictive and annoying to get used to being right.

I will never tell a woman to curb her intelligence OR her enthusiasm. Have fun being your awesome self. :D

[kate]

<3333 Normally, I agree with you. But I'm not curbing it for others, and I'm not playing dumb. I'm just being less of a show-off/know-it-all/non-listener. Sometimes I just need to remind myself that there are other ways of doing things, other types of knowledge, that are just as valuable as mine. So it's a learning curve.

those are all important things to like about one self. and lovely qualities to have :)

These are all things that are great about you.

And you aren't the first (and won't be the last) who accidentally posted to the comm. :D
