The best thing about me, in my humble opinion, is that I am kind and generous with others. I am kind of stingy with myself, but I am also not materialistic. I have worked hard to nurture these qualities in myself.

I also am pretty even-keeled, emotionally, slow to anger or judgement. I haven’t always been this laid-back but I’ve been steadily moving in this direction.

Bad? I’m not very social and terrible at maintaining relationships. I think I can be too much of a doormat; I have trouble standing up for myself and sometimes for others. I think that sometimes my humility (which I value) slides too much into low self-esteem, and I struggle with keeping a balance, and figuring out what that even means.

I also overthink things, like way too much. I have been known to put off decisions for years, decades even, because they just seem too weighty and important. But after awhile, not making a decision is a decision of itself, and it’s another struggle to decide how much deciding should be done.
