No, not what I've said what others say makes you awesome (though if they're supporting arguments, that's fine).

What do you say makes you awesome?

For me, I'm highly creative and imaginative. I'm unusually playful for an adult and refuse to grow up. Life's too short. I use humor to rise about any obstacle or any situation.

What about you? Let's brag about ourselves!

I'm very empathic, although that's sometimes a double-edged sword. I also teach computers how to do new things (which is just my way of saying "I'm a programmer/software developer").

I'm told that I look pretty decent, though I don't know if I'd ever be able to believe that myself most of the time.

Then finally, I'm a pretty logic-first sort of thinker (another double-edged sword at times), though this comes at the cost at me not really being all that creative/imaginative, which I do wish I was better at.

It's very much needed into today's world. That's so beautiful!

I like that. Same here.

It's rare someone's logical and empathetic. You're so beautiful and amazing!

Thank you, that means a lot to me! After hearing some bad news yesterday, this was a nice ray of sunshine through the clouds!

I am awesome at typing a post twice and getting Lemmy connection error every single time. Oh man.

EDIT: and NOW it decided to send it? Aww.

EDIT 2: let's hope this thing doesn't get broken the third time. So I think I'd say understanding IT and software development in general. I've been working as an IT manager, mentor and a lead developer for over half a decade now and I do notice that some things that take me one or two evenings usually take at least a week for other people. I don't know, it just clicks for me rather fast.

That's awesome! What a great gift. And don't worry about the double edits. We always want to hear more of you! 😄

I soak up trivia, and information about things like a sponge. I work with meds, and I can tell you at least one little piece of trivia about most of the thousands of pills that surround me. I can't let myself interact with an object, and not know what it is, or what it does. Every single songbird that I hear outside, I must know what it is. Every single flower on the ground? I need to know! We've spent an hour on a 10m stretch cataloguing, and identifying every single plant on there, just for fun.

That sounds exciting. Sounds like anyone who doesn't want to dive deep into a conversation with you is missing out.
