tell me some things you like about yourself.

what do you mean?

you spend a lot of time talking about the things you don’t like about yourself, and even more time thinking about those things.  you like to think you’re good at seeing things complexly.  you’ve talked about how your partner has trouble balancing good and bad in her perceptions of others- she tends to see all good or all bad and has trouble admitting negative aspects of people she likes.  you’ve said you think you’re better with that sort of thing.  and i think you’re right, as long as it’s about others.  i think you have a lot of trouble seeing good things about yourself.  tell me some good things about yourself.

just right now?

yes.  you never have trouble of thinking of bad things right on the spot.

um,

it can be anything.  just tell me things about yourself that you like, things that are good about you.
