The dislikes
1-I am not always "me"- i can switch on a person at times.
2-That I can have extreme emptiness with out warning or knowing why at times
3-I get angry too quickly at times
4-I some times am unable to let go/be the floating leaf like most.
5- I am tooo detailed some times. Drives me nuts some times
6-That I do not "worth myself" as other do- or even as I do them.
7-I will let others be mean, with out defending, but yet I can switch on that as well and take a little suggestion or criticism to a whole new level.
8- I can't always problem solve
9-I seem to have no agenda and I don't know why and I don't know how to start one.. In ways I am lost, as always, and feel almost as if I always will be
10-I can't seem to get very close to others, and even when I do- distrust is still there
10 things I like about myself........
1- I try to accept things, I try- I may not succeed with it
2- I try to listen to all sides, eventually
3- I try to "pick my battles" for the most part, even if I explode at one point, I try to pick which battles to keep on, and which ones to let go of
4- I keep trying to learn about me, the world around me, others, and how things work
5- I can problem solve a lot
6- I am trying to do the best that I can now, even though my past may have been rather damaging.
7- I have learned to say NO- and I have learned to say- I don't want to talk to you right now due to how I feel... (aka. trying best to learn to not let others influence me so much)
8- I have learned what it feels to be liberated, even if it has a confusing memory of also feeling bad with it. (maybe I need to learn that what happened was not my fault entirely? part of the letting others influence me).
9- I can be proud of the work that I do, weather it be the dumb job or true art work that makes me smile.
10- I can be a very loving person, that has empathy for many....

Hard not to put the buts in the good-- But i think this is a good exercise to do

One time I was asked to pick 3 labels of what i put on me (i am usually pretty down on myself so it was a given the 3 "bad"/"unhealthy" labels that I put on me) and then to write 3 labels that I want those three to turn into-- Lets see if i Can remember:

1) monster
2) ugly/disgusting
3) worthless.

I want to turn those into-
1) Not a monster,
2) perhaps ok but not necessarily beautiful
3) and worth something....

But I am not sure where to go from there- Eh-- therapist I had i don't think cared much for me, she always forgot what homework I was doing/never asked and when I brought it up it was like- ok good, ok, now on to something else, and giving directions on some, null.... what do you all think where to go from the 3?
I guess the next step would be how to turn those things into the next? IDK... something to chew on

Like the 10 things of like/dislike.... but what to do with them?
