Women are often really hard on ourselves and it's really understandable. Society expects a lot of us, and women are seen badly for seeing themselves well.

Let's think positive! What's your favourite thing about you?

My favorite thing about myself is that I'm creative. I've lost touch with that a little bit but I'm working my way back to it. I used to love drawing, painting, and making things like colored pencil art, abstract design art, Christmas decorations, beaded jewelry - I was always making something. Now I mostly express my creativity with makeup and nails. And I've just started picking up woodworking - so far I've only built a chair for my deck, but the goal is to make all my deck furniture*, plus a new enclosure for my veggie/fruit garden!

* There's a lot to make! A second chair, a sectional to match, a propane firepit with a cement top and matching tank cover, an outdoor dining table with 8 chairs... and I'm considering getting a sewing machine and learning to make cushions for all the seating!

You could be my twin. Get the sewing machine.

That ive been beaten down mentally, my spirits crushed, and faced horrors, yet I still havent cracked. Too angry to fall apart, to spiteful to die, and driven entirely by rage.

A good mix of both, rage from not being respected (on a basic level) and my self respect being seen as rage

That's a great trait! What helps you be persistent?

[-] Cherry@piefed.social 5 points 18 hours ago

I have no idea. Sometimes it’s my strength. Sometimes it’s my curse.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 4 points 16 hours ago

I feel that. I'm stubborn as hell which often translates as persistence. But sometimes I'm persistent about the wrong things!

I like that you're not pretending you're not, we often feel we need to downplay it. Are you book smart or more street smart? Both are valid

I really like that I'm different. Diamonds are different to other rocks and they're worth a packet! I've got my own sense of style, and I'm quirky in person. Some people hate it, but I love that there's only one person quite like me

I love to see quirky women who don't feel the need to dim their shine just because society expects us to conform. You go girl!

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
