Thor's Human Donating Member | What do you consider your greatest life skills/challenges? What "life skills" do you think you have? Which ones do you wish you had? How do you think these things have affected your life? I think my strengths are: - I am a very creative problem solver. For instance, I have a sleep disorder which makes it extremely difficult to keep a 9-to-5 schedule. So now, I have a good job that lets me work from home. - I'm very curious. I like to learn about new things. Many times I'll take a subject I know nothing about, and become an expert after a few months. - If I set my mind to something, I accomplish it. Things that I find very challenging: - I am impatient and get frustrated very easily. This colors a lot of my life experiences. I constantly find myself angry because I can't find something I expected in a store, or irritated with a coworker for not doing something I asked for. I also get depressed because I am frustrated with my own performance, and sometimes I give up too easily. - I'm not good at maintaining connections with other people. I will be very bubbly and outgoing for a few months, and then disappear into a hole for a few months. - I'm not good at accepting things as they are. If I'm in a situation I don't like, I bang my head against the wall forever rather than just going with the flow. Actually, all of these strengths and weaknesses may boil down to one thing: I know how I want things to be. I will try very hard to make them fit my expectations, which is great when it works, and not great when it doesn't. . . . . . How about YOU?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oooooooooo, I love this topic! Hmmmm.... I think my strengths are: --I'm willing to always keep learning about myself and how I may be affecting the world/people. --I have an open mind and love things/people that are off the beaten path --I've had a lot of adversity in life/childhood - and the blessing in that is being compassionate and having strength Things I find challenging: --I have a very tough time finding the meaning of life. I need facts, science, explanations and I don't believe in faith "just bc I should" (according to some). This quality can lead to some emptiness and frustration. I love studying religion, but don't feel one fits me. Organized religion scares me. --I feel rebellious toward doing things the way the majority may do them; I don't like doing things bc that's the way they've always been. I don't like it when something is done a certain way "just bc" - when it'd make a billion times more sense to do it "this way", or, not at all. This results in a lot of frustration on my part. --Being social. I love being home. I don't get lonely. Having a lot of friends stresses me out - I'd rather have a few, but of great quality. I think my ability to be alone and be fine w/out contact probably frustrates my friends and family. Of course, there are deeper reasons I like being alone...but that's for another thread !

| Strengths: Persistence. Somewhat of an ability to help people through life issues. Accepting of people even if I think what they do sucks. Ability to be diplomatic. I don't usually take crap from people. Challenges: Thinking I have no strengths. Procrastination. Guilt over ridiculous stuff. Worrying way too much. And also about half of Ann's challenges also apply to me. I do require an answer for everything. "Just because" is just a way of saying you have no explanation. No explanation and I probably ain't gonna believe it. My thought process is incredibly, terribly deep. Everything has to have significance. I won't go with traditions just for the sake of "family" or what-have-you. In my world, everything along those lines gets looked up. If I think the origin is something I'm not interested in recognizing, then tradition is tossed out the window. I guess that's not a challenge, but other people sure get irritated with it!
