What is something you like about yourself that you wish other people noticed more?

Recently saw a TikTok with this caption and asked a few people close to me about it. It can be a very touchy thing to talk about. And I noticed his kind of stuff can easily dip into how people perceive their self-worth. Which ofc can change their motivations, behavior, etc.

My intelligence and endurance. No one has any idea how much sh*t I've been through in my life. I won't go through any of it, cause I already know no one gives a sh*t and millions of others have their own sob stories they've gone through as well, so I' far from special in that regard. But I've known people who have killed themselves for far less. "Soft" stuff, like bullying on the internet and not living the dream life you wanted. Others have also gone on school shootings for having far less in life than I have, like "Incel poster boy," Elliot Roger.

All things considered, the fact I haven't raped or murdered anyone and have remained relatively sane I think is pretty remarkable. No, I don't expect a medal or some sh*t for it, nor do I care. I just know thousands of other people wouldn't have endured for as long as I have, in order to turn 14 years of depression into enough apathy that you can move forward with life and run out of f*cks to give about everyone.

The other thing I said was my intelligence. I consider myself really really smart. One mistake people make though, is assuming a smart person is smart in everything or always thinks logically at all times. I don't. Sometimes, I let emotions and insecurity get the best of me. But I am able to turn things around, usually. Or realize that my emotions aren't an unbiased reflection of reality. I think self-awareness and open-mindedness are key traits for intelligence, and I think I possess those, quite well. Just like with the life endurance thing though, I don't expect anyone in the real world to care about it. But I wish others noticed it more.

Thanks for sharing 🙏

Hopefully this doesn’t come across as egotistical or whatever, but honestly, I think most things I wish people would notice the most, people do one way at some point. I don’t have much desire to acknowledge me as smarter or kinder or whatever than they do. I think people see what they get and have a decently realistic idea generally of who I am after some talking. Sure, from a self-worth perspective, I wish I was more attractive, smarter, better at talking, had a more interesting life, whatever... but I think people are seeing me for how I am now. That’s just something I need to personally develop, not something I need to try to bloat others’ views on me, if that makes sense.

[Asker]

Doesn't sound egotistical to me 😂sounds reasonable

For men: I’m pretty good at holding a conversation and debate on different topics and I’m always very interested to listen to other peoples ideas and interest. I use to be fat and I think guys saw my conversational skills first before they saw my beauty. But now that I’m fit, my beauty is seen first which man’s human interaction very boring now.


For women: I’m a great friend. I have long term female friends that I made back when I was fat. But making new friends is harder. I think a lot of women feel I’m not approachable from how I carry myself. My most recent friend I made online when we met in person she said she would have never talked to me if we met in person because I looked like a prissy bitch. She was glad she got to know me first before meeting me.

[crazyish]

That I'm an individual. A human being. I'd rather be seen for who I am instead of perceived through the eyes of society. Most people tend to see others as their gender, race, age, damage or their baggage. I wish people noticed me first and not what society has deemed me as.

[Asker]

That's a tough thing to get/give 😂 I feel like most people want that for themselves but aren't willing to do it for others

[crazyish]

You have a point but I'm hoping one day people will see others the way they want to be seen so they'll stop making assumptions.

[Asker]

Yeah that day will never come 😂 but it would make a great fantasy film though!

[crazyish]

You're too young to have already lost hope in parts of humanity. There are still decent people.

[Asker]

I believe there are decent people, but I also believe that some things are just not practical irl 😂

[crazyish]

You're probably right.. but it would be really effing nice if it did dammit😂

[Asker]

🥂 amen to that! Would also be cool if people apologized more often 🤔 I always see that kinda stuff on the movies but rarely irl!

[crazyish]

I agree 100%!! It's ok to make mistakes or be wrong and people can't accept that. Damn world we all do it!

[BobbyC65]

on what I can do with one hand and looked past my handicapped disability.
I can drive a car work eight hours a day. 💞

[PaynefulPleasures]

@BobbyC65 you're a true inspiration, thank you ✌️

[Asker]

Dang! You do more than me!

[BobbyC65]

@PaynefulPleasures
LOL. 💞

[BobbyC65]

LOL. 💞

Wisdom. Not just about me (but what a great compliment that is!), but I don't think it's talked about much or valued as it should be. Like you ask what someone looks for in a partner and you get "funny, smart, beautiful, etc." but wisdom is normally forgotten in that list and forgotten as a quality.

[Asker]

Ahh, I think it's not as forgotten as it is overlooked.

[PaynefulPleasures]

I'm interesting, intelligent, funny, direct & to the point ✌️

[crazyish]

I noticed these things about you just from your opinions on GaG.

[PaynefulPleasures]

Ty ✌️

[Asker]

I do admire direct people 🙏

[ChrisMaster69]

@crazyish yes @PaynefulPleasures is a delightful lady, fully agree with all she said

As equally are you.

[PaynefulPleasures]

Sir@ChrisMaster69
Thank you I appreciate your compliment
And I think you're a very nice gentleman

[ChrisMaster69]

Ma’am @PaynefulPleasures a sleepy one that really should have had some zzz’s lol

[PaynefulPleasures]

Sir@ChrisMaster69
Agreed good night💤

[ChrisMaster69]

Ma’am @PaynefulPleasures hitting shower soon lol

[PaynefulPleasures]

Sir@ChrisMaster69
Had mine now having a cup of tea & I must say rest well my friend

[Jjpayne]

I'd say my personality. How I act on here, I wish girls could see in me, or in my dating profile pic. If it happened that way, I'd probably have a lot more dates than I do now...

[Asker]

What kind of girl are you looking for?

[Jjpayne]

A geeky curvy girl

[Jjpayne]

But overall just a nice sweet girl that shares my faith yet is not judgy about theirs

[Asker]

What's your faith?

[Jjpayne]

Christianity but I think I could be ok with catholic too

[Asker]

maybe some will pass by this thread 🤞

[jennifer_bloom]

I’m intelligent and kind and it’s not always acknowledged cause I get people spreading lies about my character so sometimes I’m viewed with negative bias and my kindest efforts does not change that.

[Asker]

You do seem very nice!

[exitseven]

I always thought you were okay

[have_a_good_day]

I want them to see that I have so much potential but decided at a young age to give it all up in order to take care of my parents.
I want them to see I have honor.

Also... deez nuts

[Asker]

I notice your deez nuts

[The_Maphio]

I like not standing out. I always strive to be noticed as little as possible. I already have those who are important to me and extra attention is not appreciated any longer.

[Syrian_survivor]

How I lost 35kgs of weight and I'm getting ripped but nobody notice big sadddd : (((

[Asker]

You just gotta find a good group! And I've noticed that people notice and appreciate someone's muscles more when they don't show them too much/often. Don't know you though so don't take this personally. 😂

[Syrian_survivor]

Well I don't show them at all so I guess that's the problem haha
I'm not used to flexing, maybe I'll change that this summer 😎
But thank youuuu you wonderful person 💙

[Asker]

😂 No prob! And thanks! Also, you might even have to show them off while doing something people like. I notice people tend to be more complimentary when you're doing something for them.

[Syrian_survivor]

That's a good idea haha
Need to find more excuses!

[Asker]

Form-fitting clothes are a major one too!

[andreasderjuengere]

I like to be with myself. I wish that other people noticed that more :D

[Asker]

You might just have to let em know 😂

[andreasderjuengere]

You mean... barbed wire around the house is not enough? :D

[Asker]

😂 A "I don't like people" sign wouldn't hurt. Maybe get a few pitbulls too.

[andreasderjuengere]

The cats told me that I can't have a dog :(

[Asker]

New plan, get a few pitbull cat outfits and you're set 😂

[andreasderjuengere]

Goooooooood thinking! :D I love that idea.

[Asker]

😂 And if that doesn't work, you can always just be very very weird around people. That way they stay away from you. But that one can be difficult for when you might need people down the road for something

[WhiteSteve]

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Literally the first thing I thought of

[WhiteSteve]

@Telekinetic-Potato “You’re paraphrasing and you fuckin’ know it”😂😂👍

[Mgpretty23]

That I’m smart and don’t let people walk all over me.

[Asker]

Who's the last person that tried to walk over ya?

[exitseven]

I am told I have a very dry sense of humor. Sometimes people cannot tell if I am being funny. I wish they could understand a little better.

[Tranquility_Lady]

To see the good in me the kind sweet genitsit pretty strong person forget the wrong that I've done and leave out all the rest

[Tranquility_Lady]

Also my pain and my suffering my suffering of my family to be brought out into the light

[LebanonYassmeene]

I want others to see how genuine I am, I don't want to be seen physically.

[collie22]

people never notice how good i do at cheering people up and making them feel good about there selfs. now i'm thinking its okay if they never ever notice

[Account]

I don't like it that much when people notice those.
I somehow prefer it if they focus on my negatives. I know this statement doesn't make much sense in the form that it is written, but in my head it does.

[IslanderSparkle_Siki]

There's more beneath the surface.

[Asker]

Like what?

[Bubbles45]

I can finger paint pretty well...

[Asker]

abstract?

[Clarke498]

Only thing i like about myself is my hair and no one talks about it.

[Sweetener_]

My kindness.

[Asker]

compliment me
