I usually try and avoid getting too confident and saying that I’m all these things that I don’t actually think I am, but I do believe I am a few things. Whether or not this is healthy depends on the situation and your own opinion, but I’m generally very structured in my beliefs and don’t like to make a lot of choices if that feels unnecessary to do.
On a more overall positive note, I’ve been told by a decent amount of people I’d like to think that I’d be a good writer someday, and that I wrote good papers and essays in school growing up. I’ve similarly heard that I may be good at speaking to an audience and/or working with others in my career field, and true to this assumption I’ve often felt like I get along better with people with varying disabilities (I hope to work in the developmental field personally) than I may be around quote-on-quote “normal people”, of which I’ve become much more shy and isolated around.
I recognize that, well, recognizing one’s own talents and self-worth is important, but I also think it’s just as important to contribute my positive developments to their genuine sources. My family and friends, all my teachers I’ve had, even other people online sometimes, other people are the ones who have put me in a position to “succeed”. That’s not to say I did absolutely nothing, but it’s hard to want to take credit for any of that.
