Daily Prompt, Favourite Thing, Myself?

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

Now that is the question, what do I really like about myself? Mmmmm…. I can think of traits I like about myself but not sure if they’d count as a favourite thing but oh well, here goes!

I had some time to think about this question too, since I looked at in the morning. I think I’ve decided to do these prompts later on in the day, so it gives me time to think about them.

So I suppose I would say, I like that I’m empathetic, I tend to care a lot about others feelings but its a bit difficult sometimes since caring about peoples emotions and being an introvert sometimes doesn’t match very well.

Sometimes I have this war between the part of me that’s anxious about talking to people if they’re upset and worrying constantly about my words and making things worse, and oh this is SO NERVE WRACKING and the other half of me going, hey that doesn’t matter, clearly this person needs comforting, DO SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING, MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER!

Then the other half of me screams internally.

If my nerves win out, and I don’t say anything or try and be comforting in any manner, until I see them again, I’ll continue to worry about them and call myself an idiot for not doing anything and this will only stop if I see them again and they seem like they’re better.

If they still don’t look good, or still sad, I’ll go through this whole war inside my head again and hopefully the empathetic side of me wins…after some screaming and yelling internally at myself and imagining all the bad things that could go wrong.

But mainly, YOU’LL SAY SOMETHING STUPID AND THEY’LL HATE YOU!

So yeah… thats lots of fun.

(Cough) anyway so yeah, I’d say I think the fact I’m empathetic person is my favourite trait and its a trait I value in others too, despite it causing me some stress, ha.

Anyway, hope everyones had a good day!

  1. This post was so entertaining, nutty, and sweet—like a Reese’s peanut butter cup. Seriously though, even though I’ve not seen a photo of you, your hands flailing around as the conversation doubles back a few times does force a smile. Thanks!

  2. Haha.. Actually I am also an introvert person and whenever I spotted someone being sad (truly) I never tried to comfort them cause I always thought that they need some alone time and they will get okay by themselves only cause in my case whenever I get sad i really need alone time .. I know everyone is different but still alone time is like everyone needed them …. But as you said whenever We tried to comfort them we ended up telling something stupid and then they will start hating us this is so true…
