I just looked and couldn't find any topic similar.
So what do you hate and what do you love about yourself.

Me

Love:
(I'm honestly not being obnoxious)but I have quite a lot of talents.
I can cheer people up
I have a ###### sense of humour (infact I don't know if I like that)
THat I have lots of friends
I'm not aggresive, quite a peace maker
I think I've got quite a unique personality and people like me for not being afraid to show it.
That I've done so much for my age (well my mom said I have :S)

Hate:
Hair
Eyes
Face
Tummy
That I get moody easily
That I can get smelly easily lool
My voice
Noodelz
Umm..... I love the fact that people trust me and tell me stuff when they need help. Ummm.... Oh yeah, I'm very clever (my brain is the envy of all my friends:D). I'm quite laid back, patient and like a good laugh.

What do I hate about myself.........I can get paranoid, I'm a perfectionist (I guess that could be good in the end when everything is perfect), I'm inconsitent, I don't tend to show my inner emotions and I am power/glory hungry.
isabelsmells
I love the fact that I'm able to cheer people up, and that I can always be there for other people. I can also be very patient and willing to help others.

I hate the fact that I'm not selfish enough and I'm not willing to show people how I really feel. I also hate that I take on more than I can handle and it causes me so much stress.
nicki_flute
I like the fact that people see me as a good friend, and that I have good willpower and determination to succeed.

I hate that I worry too much much, get stressed too easily, am paranoid, and don't have confidence in myself.
my_piano_is_my_best_friend
Love:I'm not very selfish, I like knowing other people are okay and I'm often taking care of others.
I like cleaning, making sure the place is tidy people say I'm an obsessive cleaner which I personally think
is a good quality tongue.gif
I have made some lovely friends and have a gorgeous partner who I love!
I can use my talents (singing and piano) to cheer people up
If I try really hard, I know I can succeed!

Hate:The fact that every day I start trying to diet and it goes downhill after about 10.30 am mad.gif
The fact I am so emotional, it's good to be a musician and be emotional, but seriously I cry almost every
day
When I let people down, or disappoint people


bohemian
Love:
1. Find exams easy, don't ever have to revise
2. Really good aural and visual memory
3. Get loads of oppertunities
4. Perfectionist (although most people think it's a bad thing)

Hate:
1. Rubbish at making myself do boring things (eg, currently have 9 pieces of cw all overdue)
2. Rubbish at concentrating if something's boring
3. Get bored easily (see above 2 points!)
4. Physical appearance
5. Having tiny hands and a 4/4 violin
6. My bowing technique <------- this one takes it
7. Good at stuff I don't care about, doesn't seem right or fair
8. Can't choose my 3rd A level out of Economics or Philosophy&Ethics

I love the fact that I have a very full life, with many interests. I love the fact that I have lovely friends who are as supportive of me as I am of them.

I hate being overweight and I hate the fact that I can be rather sarcastic and a bit abrasive at times. smile.gif

Love: my randomness. I even surprise myself sometimes

Omg you do have nice hair!! I'm turning green. Oh yeah I also hate the fact that I can be indecisive, and when I'm not motivated I don't do my best. And I don't like it that I put too much pressure on myself, because then I get annoyed when I don't acheive as much as I htough I would.

katyjay
Like: I'm good at getting people organised to do things.........
Hate: .....except myself - I'm chaotic and bone idle!
The Oboemeister
Like:
My hair (long, blonde, I think it suits me)
The fact that I can eat whatever-the-heck-I-like and not put on weight
My height (at 6'2", I tower over everyone, and it means all my chubbiness is spread out)
My voice (goes quite nicely low)
My self-confidence (not much affects me because I know who and what I am - the "Am I bothered?" sort of philosophy)
The fact that somehow I always manage to fall on my feet and I get really lucky (eg I was really annoyed that I didn't get into the top maths set, as they do an extra qualification, but in the 2nd set, I have the best teacher there ever has been)
My face (nothing understated, nothing overstated, it seems to fit me)
I understand most stuff at school apart from electricity

Dislike (I really wouldn't say "hate" cos there's sweetFA I can do about it!):
My hair (it gets in my eyes and I often have to wear a hairband, which is often a cause for concern in males)
My social ineptness, awkwardness and lack of confidence (NOT the same as self-confidence; I have NO social confidence)
My musicalness (whatever the evidence to the contrary, I just feel sh*t at it because I'm surrounded by people who eat sleep breathe music and I feel really rubbish in comparison, I'm the one in the orchestra who comes in early or plays loud and flat or whatever)
My voice (I wish it could go lower, and I can't sing in tune at all, only about 2 semitones flat)
My body (I'm so darned weak and un-well-built)
My hands (Horrible ezcema that makes my skin dry out, turn bright red and crack open in the winter, and also however hard I try not to, I keep cracking my knuckles, and whenever I stop that, it's biting my nails. It'll be smoking if I'm not careful; anything to keep my hands occupied)
My feet (at 12 and-not-quite-enough-to-be-a-half and with one foot slightly bigger than the other and with both of them wider than average, it's a nightmare trying to find well-fitting shoes without breaking the bank)
My fitness (in stuff like bleep tests, I can only get about 6 or 7 before I get tired or bored or both)
My eyes (myopia sucks so much!)
The fact that I keep running out of breath or losing my lip or making uncomfortable snorting noises when playing the oboe
My back aches

Well, if you bothered to read all this, there's 5 minutes of your life you won't get back!
LadyMoonlight
Like:
My hair - its long and dark and I get compliments on it
I'm lucky to stay nice and slim even when I eat junk food
I'm very friendly and get on well with most people
I'm a loyal friend, very imaginative, very romantic and dreamy, have an enquiring mind, love to chat to people and expand my knowledge.
Have a great (if often odd) sense of humour! Like to think I'm fun to be around

Hate:
I'm 34 and want to be 18 again
I have an awful job and am not too good at getting anything better
I cry too easily and beat myself about things. I'm a perfectionist.
I'm very untidy.
I'm lazy
I can't sing, play piano or violin as well as I'd like to be able to. I hate my voice because it never cooperates and makes very odd sounds when I want it to make beautiful ones.

Oh, thanks musicbox & Sarah! It's about two inches off my hips now... someone told me that having longer hair makes me look less like a midget, so that's why I keep it long, lol.

I always wanted dead straight hair as a child. Mine's quite the opposite! I quite like it now though. Growing mine too, though I think it'll be too much of a pain long before it gets that long!
