You! Yeah, you! PLEASE TELL ME SOMETHING AWESOME ABOUT YOU!

[rmd]

In the interests of banishing false modesty and encouraging the collective tooting of our own horns, I would like it if folks told me something about themselves that makes them awesome.

IT'S OWN YOUR OWN AWESOMENESS DAY!

(Actually, every day can be own your own awesomeness day!)

If you're having trouble with dropping false modesty and want to whisper your awesomeness instead of shout it from the hilltop, I've turned off IP tracking and anonymous comments are allowed (but screened because spammers aren't awesome) so you can share your awesomeness secretly if needed.

I'll start: I am awesome at diagnosing and solving problems, particularly on the fly.

Most of the time I interact with people and with moments in life as they are, instead of interacting with them as if they are the way I model them in my head to be. So I respond to a person or a day, and not to my hopes or fears of that person or that day. If this is too hard, I try to respond to the best-case scenario interpretation I can of what I'm experiencing, rather than my worst-case. I notice reductionist negative-interpretations arise in myself and observe them, but do not empower them.

I often interact with myself this way, although that is harder and I'm still learning.
