How do you view yourself?

[Beautiful and Blissful Introvert]

I have very high self-esteem. It took me fourteen years to finally feel this way without altering myself.
I was on twitter, and this VERY skinny girl in my grade, who I follow, retweeted this:
"I don't have the body I want because I'm not working hard enough"
I looked at the account, and it's pretty much about how worthless this person and the followers feel. The tweets are about starving yourself in order to be "perfect".
That made me so sad... It's so sad that in this world, girls (and some guys) feel as if they aren't good enough.
So with multiple tweets I wrote back:
"I am not hating on anyone. Let me tell you, I am 5', like 130 LBS, size 8 in clothes, 30" waist. No bones are sticking out. But I think I'm drop dead gorgeous and it took me 14 years to finally see it. I've starved myself, gone on so many diets, and ended up in the hospital because I fainted from hunger. You're all beautiful inside and out, no matter the number, or what you see in the mirror. I cannot stress that enough, you are gorgeous, beautiful, incredible, lovely inside and out."
So let me just say: you're on this earth for something. You matter to some one. You are loved. No matter what BS anyone says to you or how worthless you feel, just know that you're priceless and no one can replace a person as unique, beautiful, and perfect as you.
I know, cheesy, but I just had to say something!
So how do you view yourself? And list five things you love about yourself! (:
Here are mine:
I love my strength, my bravery, my imagination, my body, and my compassion.
John, if people dislike you, that's their problem. I bet you're a great person to be with (:

I have terrible self esteem. I feel like everyone dislikes me and that I probably deserve it anyway. I'm trying to stop feeling like that, but it is hard to do. I'm glad you have high self esteem, I wish I could be more like you.

What I love about myself:
My smile
My smarts
My creativity

That's all I can think of, sorry I couldn't get to five.

I think everyone has good and bad things to them, and I think I'm someone who can see that in others. I like that about me. A lot. I also like my thirst for knowledge, my lust for a better life, my desire for freedom, and my spiritual soul.

That's six, actually. Oh well .

I've never had the best self esteem but it's getting better. I have good days and bad days, but I think that's how pretty much everyone else feels too.

Five things I love about myself: my empathetic nature, my intuition, my eyes, my strength (emotional, not physical), and my generosity.

^That was way harder than I expected it to be.

I have a pretty high self esteem my self I always try to make others smile and laugh and although at some times i do feel like I'm getting a little fat, i just get up and run outside and burn it off and FEEL GOOD AWW YEAHH.

"5" things i love about myself :
I love the fact that i love helping others and trying to make their lives easier.
I love the fact that I'm extremely understanding, and don't judge people (People tend to come to me when they have some major serious problems and i love helping them out)
I love the brain i was given and i love that I'm on the smart side. (2310 SAT 3.9 GPA) WOOH it comes with hard work though^
I love it when my smile can make other people smile
I love my ability to feel confident in myself
I love my ability to not hesitate to stand up for others and protect them
I love how I'm able to play a variety of intstruments well
i love it when i can be the ball of energy that gets everyone going
i love it when i have the courage to go and try to make the girl i like laugh and smile.
I love how I'm able to be and feel grateful about everything i have
I'm happy with everything, and this post made my day You're a wonderful person and that was very nice to post that comment on her wall. People have got to just be more confident. You're awesome!!! WOOOOOH

My self-esteem is really low, I'm always hearing people talking behind my back (and I mean this literally) they basically confirm all the thoughts I have about myself. I have a disproportionate body and no clothes look right on me (fat butt, thighs and upper arms yet no chest (32A) and bony wrists). I feel inferior to everybody and like a huge misfit. I'm socially awkward and I have social anxiety disorder and EDNOS. I have like 2 friends and no self-confidence to speak of.

5 things I like : My generosity, good problem solving skills (not including math), how calm I am in tense situations, my optimism towards life regardless of current situations, how easily I trust people

I think I'm all right. There's always lessons to learn, things to do better, but I don't hate myself for not being perfect. I genuinely feel things and care about people, and I think that matters more than anything else. You have to love something/someone in life, for your own sake.

And since everyone's making a list...I'm fun to be around (or at least try to be). I care about people, like I said. I'm always up for learning about something new. I don't seem to have trouble saying what I really think anymore, which was hard for most of my life. And there's always something new to experience and love, so I'm never bored.

I'm glad you're confident.

I'm passionate, thoughtful, artistic, polite, and mature, and I like all of those things.

That was very nice of you, more people should accept themselves and be confident. I think I have pretty okay self esteem. There are small things I don't like but for the most part I am very happy with myself.
I like:
-My intelligence
-My body
-My empathy
-My eyes
-My kindness
