    I was just struck by this idea after reading the What are your best qualities? topic. I noticed that said thread is what we ourselves perceive as our best qualities, or what we most pride ourselves on.

    But we aren't the only ones looking at ourselves. No matter where we go, no matter what we do, other people watch us as we move and live.

    So, what are some things you have been told by others, that are perceived as your best (or just good) qualities? They don't need to necessarily match up with what you yourself believe are your best qualities - in fact, more often than not, they probably won't!

    In my case, some of what I've been told about myself I agree with, and some of it I don't:
    I've been described as rather learned, refined, or otherwise just appearing to be on a 'more posh' level than others. Part of that has also imagined me to have a British accent (though whether or not I actually have a British accent will be my secret).
    I've been told I'm very smart, that I'm good at teaching people and explaining concepts and other things, and that I should think about becoming a teacher - and I will say right now that I have at least two very strong reasons why the last of those is absolutely dead wrong.
    I've been told that I tend to approach things in a very logical and straightforward manner, drawing connections between things to have them make sense, and also that I'm very schedule-oriented and tend to forget things if I don't schedule them - and those statements are completely factually accurate.

    Now, what about the rest of you? I'd like to hear! Remember, it has to be something that other people have said about you at some point.

    People say that I am fiesty and a hardworker... That's about it, I'm not impressive.

    People have told me that I am loyal, caring, hardworking, and fun to be around. I have been told that I have a great attitude, that I am dedicated, and am very friendly. Those are the biggest things but there are others, and to be honest I have heard it so many times that it feels like my ears are a going to fall off from hearing it.

    What I would honestly like to hear from people is what I need to improve on and how I can do so but I digress.

    Just a sec I'll ask my mom.

    She says I'm caring and helpful. What do you guys think? I think an interesting twist would be to ask other members!

    @[member="Cadbberry"] I think you're nice and easy to talk to as well!
    @[member="Eclipse"] you're like one of the most collected people I know? You always look at things without judgment and I really appreciate it!
    @[member="Strytho"] we haven't talked but you reached out to me which is something i appreciate

    I've been told many times that my best qualities would have to be my kindness, intelligence, attitude, and humor.


    I can't see why they think I'm smart. I'm pretty dumb in most subjects.

    I have a coworker whow wants to take me to trivia night, most people say I'm very smart. I mean I did ace my biggest college test without studying at half time but I still don't see myself as all that smart.

    People say I am kind and fun to talk to. They say I have good social skills.
    They also say my most of jokes are kiddy but they are nice xD
    HEY I AM KID INSIDE! Jk xD

    Someone said I am capable of having deep and serious conversations.

    I've had people tell me I care about others more than myself and that I'm funny. Both of these sound about right.

    Usually people like how I don't dwell on problems and usually ignore the problems of others (THERE HAS GOTTA BE A BETTER WAY TO PHRASE THAT!) and instead make them laugh. I guess they mean that I don't say "Aw... That's too bad man..." very much~

    Alright, time to say nice things about everyone because I hate myself too much to say nice things about myself :)

    [member='Satix'], you do a good job keeping the site in-check, even when you're on break
    [member='Achromatic'], you're a cool dude and very approachable for someone with the intimidating title of Administrator
    [member='Cadbberry'], you're doing an excellent job with your new position as Administrator, amidst the other aspects of your life that are occurring (we should talk soon <3)
    [member='ClefairyKid'], you have nice Pokémon cards that I want to steal, and the fact that we're from the same country makes it easy to be friends with you
    [member='Eclipse'], you're so intelligent, more than I could ever hope to be, and you bring a sophisticated touch to the LV scene
    [member='karatekid770'], even though you seem childish, that's not a bad thing, because you're always someone I can depend on to bring the fun
    [member='MarineAurora'], you're passionate about the things that you love, and you're good at taking charge of a situation
    [member='Sheep'], I don't really know you but you were nice enough to Valor Battle me, so you're good in my books
    [member='Genji'], I don't really know you either, but I do remember how you asked some really good questions in the Q&A section, so you're inquisitive nature is your best attribute to me
    [member='Tonochi'], you're amazing at bringing the hype and just being stupid with me
    [member='Skittlebox'], your writing is amazing, and I think you make an awesome sister
    [member='❀Bloom❀'], you're the best senpai I could ever ask for
    [member='✯Ho-OhLugia✯'], you're so generous, donating so many Pokémon Card codes to me for absolutely nothing, I can never say how grateful I am for every single one
    [member='Deltheor'], you're an amazing artist, and I support everything that you stand for 100%
    [member='DrGetus'], you're a good friend and an excellent critic, my fanfiction thanks you
    [member='Endrew Swiftwind'], your enthusiasm for Weedle is something others should look to for inspiration
    [member='Karzarill'], you're doing an excellent job at being a Discord Mod, and I'm glad I'm able to relate to you about the TCG
    [member='LunarRabbitPikachu'], back when I was first on, you were my first friend, and I'm sorry we haven't spoken in so long
    [member='Megarai111'], even though you're not around much when I'm around, I'm glad knowing I can always have a laugh with you
    [member='Pokémist'], I really appreciate how much you love my writing, it only makes me want to write more so I can keep on impressing you
    [member='Seprix'], as much as my life revolves around giving you as much shit as I can in as few words as possible, you're an immensely talented person and I respect and admire you because of that
    [member='Sugar'], I'm glad to know you're always there for me, and even though I don't really need it anymore, the fact that I know I can turn to you is a nice feeling
    [member='TheIllusionFox'], I also appreciate your enthusiasm for my fanfiction, just as much as everyone else I've mentioned for the same reason
    [member='Vigilance'], you're doing a stellar job as a VB judge, and you're just an awesome person to chill with
    [member='WolfeyStar'], we haven't spoken much, but the times we have are really fun, especially when your sister is there too, I feel like part of the family

    Well I think that's everyone I wanna say something to. Sorry if I forgot anyone :sweat:

    Hmm. That's a tough one.
    Actually...I'll take up Genji's approach as well :)
    FireSpartan5, first and foremost a huge thank you for being literally one of the best people I've never actually met. You are funny and realistic and I cannot think of anyone else who has the same clear outlook on life as you do.
    TheIllusionFox, you also deserve a massive thank-you for bringing your awesome humor to my life. I can count on you to be yourself, and that's amazing.
    Seprix, you have an outlook on life that I can't even begin to describe, but I'll try. It's serious and cool and at the same time hilarious. I really like the way you post stuff, it feels refreshing.
    POKE, thank you too. For being generally such an awesome, generous person with the ability to cheer people up, which is the best ability you can have.
    Eclipse, even though we haven't talked much, I love the refined look you give to LV and your clear take on life.
    ChaoticLupa, you are a light in the darkness. Reviewing my fanfictions was the light of my day, and you are such a kind person.
    Lylibean, you know why. For being hilarious and ridiculous, in all the right ways.
    Arc1Dragon, you are patient and funny, and that's awesome.
    MarthTheBlackLegend, because you are just generally thoughtful and kind.
    Drew Blackstone, your humor is great.
    Cadbbery, even though we haven't spoken much, I know enough to see that you are kind and patient.
    I need to say thank-you. To everybody who's ever put up with my rants, crazy theories, constant references and insanity, because had we switched places I would not have been able to do it. You all are the best people in my life, and I just want to say thank-you to everybody I've met here for being themselves. Because to me, LV isn't just a place to chat about Pokémon, it's a place, a tiny lake on the Internet where I met the people who have made my life so much better. You don't know how much I depend on you guys, and I can't even hope to tell you how much. Thank you for accepting a crazy fangirl. Thank you for everything, LV.

    Everyone tells me I'm really nice, smart, and focused.
    Clearly, for those last two, they haven't been around me long enough.

    I've been told by my mother that I'm very kind, especially when standing and speaking out against the people who are targeted (I would say what she really means by "targeted" people but that's a little much for this topic).

    @[member="Chris"] , you forgot someone...

    You! You always lighten up the Discord and site in general, and you've been an inspiration for some future articles I may write. I haven't gotten to read your fanfics, but I'm sure they're great, just like your writing skills :D

    @[member="Eclipse"] Teachers don't make any good money, so I imagine that's one reason. It's a shame they do not, but that is the reality of our times.

    Man oh man, people say I'm a bit reserved until they get to know me. After that, it's generally pretty good. I'm either extremely hyper or incredibly reserved.

    I've heard the word 'charismatic' tossed around a few times which is an odd choice given how desperately I avoid talking to people in person haha;; I have noticed that people seem to be drawn to me but I'm doubting that's the real reason, wouldn't explain why strangers cling to me before I've said a word :-|
    I have nice eyes apparently? They're blue but much duller than the blue that I consider nice blue eyes? I'll take it I suppose!
