Awesome thread! We could always use more positivity in here :) I’m proud of being an avid reader from childhood all the way to adulthood, which has allowed me to pick up a wide range of vocabulary along the way so I could communicate my thoughts eloquently. I’m also proud of my ability to hear multiple “layers” in music while listening, allowing me to appreciate songs in depth.

>>1596 That's a nice one, if I send a song will you write about it and show how you mean by hearing music in different layers?

I'm a pretty good hobbyist cook and a pretty good hobbyist artist. I think I treat my close friends very well and do a good job cultivating trust and an atmosphere of openness with them. It's funny, I'm tempted to "balance" the positives by giving caveats or other, negative traits -- an unproductive temptation I think. I like your thread idea. :)

These days I am somewhat proud of being able to make and unmake myself in extensive ways, ship of Theseus style. I didn't think it was possible.

People seem to find me kind and well meaning.

I can fly and hover. I’ve never shown anyone, but I can do it.

My degree, though it's not very lucrative and didn't give me good career prospects.

>>1620 I'm also pretty proud of my degree even though it was actually not very hard. But I think my dissertation was a good piece of work. What was your degree in?

>>1620 >>1628 Ha! I had actually never considered before I could be proud of my degree.

>>1628 Genetics & molecular biology.

>>1642 ok, that is impressive! I'm surprised that you say it doesn't have good career prospects, though.

I'm good at making people feel good about themselves. Also setting a fun and high-energy mood in social enviroments

This is lame but the fact that I haven't killed myself. Bourdain did it and his life was way cooler than mine.

I try to be a decent human being every day. I strive to educate myself as much as I can, and avoid discussing things I don't know a lot about. I've got the habit of reading a little bit of everything since I was a teen. At least it has opened my mind and made me more emphatic, I think.

I left my shitty job to get my Master’s and become a writer. I have not regretted it for a second, even though I’m poor now lmao

Naturally copper orange hair and blue eyes.

I wrote five works of personal social philosophy in the span of seven years, which began on a blogger blog.

Im proud I have survived this long if I'm being honest because to this day I have not broken my moral boundaries since establishing them as an innocent child. I cannot lie, I hate fat people. I grew up around hearing ideas that you go to college to make money, but I always held the belief that you need to make money to go to college. I am now 28 and having turned my life-long hobby into a second income and have now turned that second income into something primary and am finally on the verge of becoming a business owner. I hate California and want to leave. And then finally I can fulfill my burning desire to know and I will attend every college course until I die expanding myself into infinity
