How do you describe your identity? Write a brief account of your strengths and weaknesses? What is your viewp

How do you describe your identity? Write a brief account of your strengths and


weaknesses? What is your viewpoint about success? Has your concept of your-self


changed overtime? How?





Please could anyone tell me the answer to this question
How do you describe your identity? Write a brief account of your strengths and weaknesses? What is your viewp
Identity: Artist at heart but too worrisome and practical to pursue that interest as a career. Determined to give any future kids a better life than her mother gave her.





Strengths: Determined, I do what I set my mind to. If it's important enough to me, I'll succeed. Individuality, I don't try to fit in, if I fit in it's because I happen to enjoy doing the same things that make people fit in, not because I'm trying. I don't give in to peer pressure. If I do something, it's because I wanted to for me.





Weaknesses: Overly emotional, my emotions get in my way and influence my decisions more often than they should. Poor self-concept, even though if I think about it rationally, I can show myself hard evidence of otherwise, I can't believe that I am attractive, intelligent, thin, funny, interesting, or in any other way desirable. I'm constantly assuming people only talk to me because they're "just being nice". It takes me a long time before I truly believe somebody is my friend because they actually like me and want to spend time with me. I'm convinced that someday my boyfriend will find somebody better, and assume he already has but hasn't noticed yet.





I'm going to sound a bit like Freud here, but these problems stem from my childhood and I can't seem to get them resolved.





I'm also stubborn, which, depending on the situation can be a strength or a weakness. It gets me what I want sometimes, and other times it makes me look like a fool.





Viewpoint on success: ANYBODY can be successful if they strive to do their best in what they set their mind to BUT they have to do this for the things they want to succeed in for themselves. Not because mom will be proud or because they'll make 200k a year. Because they truly, really want to do what they do. Whether it's finger painting in pre-school, or deciding what to major in, in college. You can have a 10k annual salary and still be successful.





Self-concept changed: Sometimes when I look at myself in the mirror I can actually see that I'm pretty. It's becoming easier and easier for me to see myself the way others do.





How:Mostly due to my mother kicking me out of my house at age 18. It was a horrible place to live and was utter hell emotionally. I switched schools, moved into a new household and was given the opportunity to come out of my shell. I became fairly popular at school (not super popular, but people from every group knew who I was) in the two months I was there. I ended up living in a loving, stable, accepting household.
Reply:My character is a mix of both my strengths and my weaknesses. I am a person blessed by strengths and weaknesses and also burdened by strengths and weaknesses. They are who I am. I have learned to live with and accept both aspects of my character. I am loved and I love while having both of these qualities. I have and always will live with the prospect and expectations that I will improve and become a better person with the help of God.
Reply:i am a person who feels things very deeply and thinks way too much. i tend towards self-centeredness, but am capable of great empathy if the circumstances are right. i believe that i am always learning, growing, and changing, and that year by year if i were introduced to my former self i would have a hard time recognizing her. my only real idea of success is happiness, something completely ephemeral and seemingly forever out of my grasp, but it is the only thing i really want in life. it is the details that are constantly changing, just like me. compassion and mercy are my highest ideals. shame and anxiety are my biggest problems, leading me to do harm to myself and others.





did i mention i have a flair for the dramatic?
Reply:Well, it'll take too long to describe myself like how you ask. I'd right a book about it if I started.





But one strength I have is an open mind and the ability to read people really well. I'm not popular like the preppy people in school, but I'm well liked by everybody.
Reply:My strength is to be able to always hit at people's weakest areas no matter how well I know them. My weak point, I'm not usually tactfull. I think that success is working hard. I don't know what has changed over time.
