I was on bdd central's forum and found a post (link below) in which one lady wa talking about embracing flaws as unconventional beauty, and she tried to find good points about something she originally disliked about herself. I'll give the link then finish my point quickly.

With this said, I wanted to do something similar here. Name some flaws you think you have, BUT then for the sake of bettering self esteem, think of reasons WHY those things are positive.

Hi Locust

I've been trying to think of something positive to post for you, but no luck. Sorry Hope that someone can give you some positive examples soon.

That lady talking about her cute big nose was very cool ~ I'd love to hear more personal examples too!

"Flaw" = personality type shared by only about 1 % of the population.

"Asset" = personality type shared by only about 1 % of the population.

Flaw? I talk waaaaay to much. I'm a freakin' chatterbox.
Asset? No one's ever bored with me! :]

Flaw? I'm paranoid
Asset? It's made me untrusting and thus, I figure out people fast. :] I'm like a detective.
