The past few years beat my ass so bad all I was focused on was surviving and taking care of my mental health. I totally forgot what my good qualities and strengths are. I’m also around a family that puts me down constantly. I can’t even remember anything before 2022. I wanna get back to myself
Look at yourself objectively imo. Take a step back and think about yourself from a third person perspective. First, identify what you consider to be a good quality or strength. Then, see if you have that quality or strength, and to what degree. Being honest with yourself will get you the correct answer. And if the correct answer is something that you're unhappy with, you can take action to turn that weakness into a strength.
Thank you so much! Will do that
Honestly this is solid advice but sometimes when you're that deep in survival mode it's hard to even know what counts as a "good quality" anymore. Maybe start with asking what you're naturally drawn to help others with - like if a friend came to you with a problem, what would you instinctively do? That's usually where your strengths hide when everything else feels foggy
