I know many may feel too modest to say but,.... What is something you are proud of?

It can be anything. It doesn't have to be anything big either. It could be an achievement, identity, a person, personal collection, belonging, uniqueness, experience you've had, creation, action you took, belief etc.... Something that makes you feel proud.

When I read your reply, I imagine you are the type of person who always holds the door open for others, and wouldn't mind being the last person in. :)

its defo to be proud of as in my opinion theres just too many bad mannered ignorant people in the world. And don't get me wrong, i tried seeing ignorant peoples point of view but sadly i could not get my head that far up their arses lol :cool:

the way i see it is manners and friendliness cost nothing ;)

It may seem weird, but I'm proud of learning how to swim all by myself. After being told repeatedly by those around me that it's more of an innate thing and after not knowing how to swim for all my life.

After about a dozen times in the swimming pool, I took to the beach and swam about fifty meters into the sea in the rain, knowing full well that if my new found skill failed me I'm almost certainly dead. Not so much proud of the act itself, just that before I do that I told myself that if I dared to do this, I can do anything.

Sounds like little, but I am terrified of deep water and still am. But I faced my fears (or at least one of them) that day head on. And for that, I'm proud. Seems a bit silly I know.. shrugs.

I'm proud of the fact that I'm dieting the right way and actually loosing weight... Social phobia helped a great deal. When I'm in college, I'm so shy to go to the cafeteria and grab some food, so thanks to that.
And I'm proud to be different in character and personality, though, it can be a curse, it can be a blessing as well.
I'm proud that I'm a good person.
I'm also proud that I've learned to get over any kind of execrable memory. Even if I'm reminded by them I could easily move on as simple as that.

I'm also proud of the fact that I've finally mustered up a little courage to post in this forum again, after some while. :)

That's awesome man and to do it in the rain too. Even though I learned to swim early on I would never swim out more than maybe 10m in the sea. I'm terrified of deep water ever since watching Jaws lol and if something slimy brushed past me that I couldn't see I would freak out. I'm actually okay if I can see the bottom but otherwise it's a big nono.

It was a bit of a protected beach in that they tried to keep out such nasties. But still was pretty terrifying for someone who only knows how to swim from looking at others swim.

I also feel like I am a good person. I usually always go out of the way to help others. I can not bring it in myself to hate others, because i always think of things from their perspective. Unfortunately, I sometimes overdo these things, making me easy to walk over :(.
s'okay tho cause thats what Karma is for :)

I'm proud of my tremendous progress in the last year.
I have:
- been able to start and then keep up with the CBT by myself
- made several friends
- broke some bad study habits
- learned how to cook a bunch of chinese dishes
- learned to drive
- improved my english, especially in terms of idioms and slangs
- survived the first year of uni
- survived my first job
- started volunteering
- been physically active
- learned a lot about my own personality (used to think i have none)
etc

There were lots of emotional ups and downs but i've made a lot of positive changes with my life in general and I'm proud of that.
