Hi everyone. I am new to Hubski (no I didn't come over from THAT Reddit post, I lurked, but that post made me sign up and want to contribute more.)

I find a lot of 'ask' posts around the web are looking for advice, which are always excellent, but I would love to know what you consider your strong traits. I think anyone who grows up well-adjusted knows that they should be confident in who they are and what they do like about themselves as well as traits they'd like to work on - and seeing others' strengths may help that.

Personally I would say I have spent a lot of time working on my communication skills. Most importantly I think I can approach a discussion as a discussion without turning it into an argument (something my family seems to do at every opportunity).

I think it comes down to always questioning your own belief in something which leads to the ability to hear what people are saying and to process it, and speak your own truth back. This has helped me SO much in my relationship, work, family, just about everything.

I know that is a bit vague but I'll leave it at that - what are your strengths?

But I'm just being mean. Naturally, I do see myself as having certain strengths, even if I know that one can't really speak of oneself in this sense, and that my vices perhaps outnumber by virtues.

I like to think I'm rather non-judgemental. I don't care what other people do or believe, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I see this in myself because I seem to be surrounded by judgemental people who make all sorts of comments about other people smoking and drinking, or having a bad hair cut, or whatever. I mean, who cares? It's no concern of theirs!
