What do you think is special about yourself?

Someone asked me this. No they were not being nasty, they were serious. I couldn't answer and even one day later I still can't answer. Sure there are things I know how to do and things I haven't been taught, I just know, but I don't think that is special. Can you answer this question, ABOUT YOURSELF?

I don't think it is right for me to be my own judge and brag about myself to others. I don't see anything special in me but I am glad I am who I am and nobody can play my roles in life.

In my family, they keep saying that Im special meaning I dont react like the others. I think of myself as an original or eccentric . It has to do with the way I think. At times, I feel as if I can read people and know when Im being told the truth or not. So when you react to something when you know its false, and you're the only one thinking its false, then you stick out of the crowd!!.....thats me!! Also, I used to drive Cadillacs only and people thought I was special because of that. Truth is, Ive always loved big cars. Probably because as a kid, dad who worked for Eastern Air Lines in Montreal, would have limo service when we had snowstorms and since he knew the chauffeurs very well, they would give me a lift to school at the same time. I still remember riding in those huge Cadillac limo.......still love it to be honest

You could call me an original eccentric too! I suppose being a Psychic Medium singles me out a bit but apart from that I try to be an original thinker. The only trouble is that I do too much brain-work and wear myself to a frazzle all the time!

I have known for many years that we are all special. So specila that we are unique. But I don´t know if what you want as an answer is to see what traits we have that make us a wonder. I trust, not even geniouses are perfect. And some of us (like myself) are so contradictory that maybe that is our special trait, after all. I´m wanr and loving, when I´m not a b*itch. I love people and things, except when I want to put the in a meat grinder.. I don´t mind critism, but I hate injuries and hurt. Are those traits? We are so complexthat we don´t have tiem in our lives to explain all we are. And thinking of it, being as we are, the quewestion cannot be answered because depends on the moment we are living.

I love my adventurous spirit, friendly attitude, strong determination, loving and caring nature. I don't like myself when I am in a dark mood, depress, negative emotions but even when I am at my worst It makes me..me. I have both positive and negative qualities. With God's help I know I can turn my negatives into positive. If I don't feel special then I don't have anything to give to others.

No I can not answer this either. Although I have been told that I am special because I ca read people very well. I just see things as I see them. To me thats not special at all, it's just me. I never thought I was special in my life and I am not about to start now.

I have a lot of flaws.I won't say i am all perfect but i love the fact that i have a very friendly and kind nature. Even my friends admire how nice and kind i am all the time even if the situations are not in my favour. This might be somewhat disadvantageous for me personally but i like pleasing people around me and support them through their bad times.

In that case, you are well named!

Hi savypat, I think that everyone of us are special, but I'm always better at pointing it out in others than in myself. They say that no two people are alike so I guess that has to say something. I'm not sure it's special but I like to write and am hoping to publish a book of short stories, if I don't keeping procrastinating until it's too late. People tell me that I'm a good public speaker, although I don't do much of it anymore. The fact is I'm pretty much an average guy with likes and dislikes, trying to get along with those around me without letting them change me. Blessings.

I like to think that I am a good person and that I have the drive to succeed in my life. I am very good at the job that I do, which is working online on various projects, and I always still have the time to meet up with my friends as well and I am doing well on my course at university at the moment in addition to all of this. I enjoy spending time with my family and I like to think that I am good to them and I help a lot around the house when they're all at work, because I work from home and I do enjoy helping out.

Something that is special? So that would mean what makes me unique, right.. like something that nobody else has or usually has as a positive trait? That's hard to pin point. I can say that I'm a creative person, intelligent, caring, but a lot of people can say this.

A long time ago, I could easily answer this! I would say that I am very logical and very observant. I could often predict how people reacted by just observing them. It made me feel special about myself. Nowadays, I don't like feeling that anymore. I relish in the fact that I could be in the norm and just average.

Special should not be confused with superior. Feeling superior comes from the ego while special should come from the heart, knowing there is only one you in the world and that alone should make you feel special. Few of us know our purpose in life, the rest of us search for this. When you find it you know with every part of your being. Blessings
