What do you like the most about yourself?
This question is a bit hard for me to answer because I often focus on my weaknesses as a person. But one thing I do like about myself is that I generally try to be compassionate with people who seem to be hurting. In highschool for example I often tried to befriend the kids that were made fun of. Of course there is more I could have done and still can do as far as standing up to bullies, but overall I think I usually try to stand up for the little guy, having felt like an outsider myself at times.
Is it easier for you to focus on your strengths or your weaknesses?
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

I love that trait in you, as well as anyone else who has it. It's a beautiful characteristic, because the vice versa happens more these days. I myself am an underdog supporter, and will hurt if an underprivileged person (in any way) is hurting, too.
Stay the way you are in this respect!
Oh ya, I forgot to add... I hurt for them because I myself was hurt when I was a teenager. It impacted me a lot.
What a noble and endearing quality you have listed here.
I'm sure it will serve you well in life.
I always tried to stick up for the guys that were strange or outcasts. I always felt compassion towards those that were small because I remeber feeling the same way
I think in general it's easier to focus on the weaknesses because they are ever present and sometimes plaguing.
It's way easier to focus on my shortcomings, for sure...
And for the record, you're one of the most compassionate, sweet people I know.
