Described yourself in a paragraph (self.asklemmy)

I recently meet someone and was going to ask them to describe themselves in a paragraph. I realized I wasn’t able to do it myself. I also wasn’t sure how they would react. I thought I would ask here first and see how you folks react.

I’ll define paragraph as three to four sentences.

It can be tough to see the positive in a compliment. I get it. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself though.

More people than you think do what you do. There entire lifestyles based on it.

I can’t and won’t try to change your mind… again, all I can do is ask you to not be so hard on yourself. One compliment at a time.

Thank you for sharing.
