• What Are You Proud Of?

Brag about what you're proud of accomplishing. For me, it's the fact that my musical/computer science skills are already amazing at my rather-young age (13). I mean, well, if being able to read sheet music on a piano when I got a keyboard only a few weeks ago and with playing pieces by ear perfectly counts.
I graduated high school. That's something to be proud of in my family.
I'm proud to be a good partner, frankly. Though I feel like I've underachieved and should probably be more adept in my field at 22, I'm quite happy that I've managed to find someone who I can be genuinely good for. That to me is worth more than any possible career achievement, and I feel tremendously lucky that we found each other.
I get to be an engineer. Just give me a few years.

I once prevented someone from killing themselves. Other then that, I have nothing to be proud of. My life has been a series of pointless struggles and failures, only to come to having an condition which wastes away my mind. I've spent most of my life depressed and concerned about high minded things. Now that everything is being taking away from me, I realize that I had wonderful things. I could be help raising some of my younger cousins. I could be learning Spanish. I could be writing a book (a thing I always wanted to do). I could be meeting new people. Don't take things for granted. Edit: Thanks for the winner rating but there no "winning" in my situation. Its stupid as hell and seems like a vicious joke.
i can never be proud of anything, as i have no self esteem what do
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;49721407]i can never be proud of anything, as i have no self esteem what do[/QUOTE] Be proud of yourself. Or do something that would make YOU proud.
[QUOTE=ichiman94;49721425]Be proud of yourself.

Maybe you need to forgive yourself and realise nothing can be perfect. If you have a project and you know you have put too much shit on it then it's maybe that time to say stop, then release the project to the public so people can say how fucking good it was. [editline]11th February 2016[/editline] It's not about optimism, it's more or less getting real. Continuously put your work out so people can see you, recognize you and give you honest opinion about your piece of work.
I've started drawing well enough that I don't want to throw myself into traffic... Seriously, I'm so proud of myself that the last two things I've created have turned into my desktop backgrounds. That and I'm good at learning things on my own.
I made it to college and only have to redo one subject, I guess that's something.
When I was 13 I prevented a guy from killing himself by being his only friend. I didn't realize it at the time but his parents called me later and were very thankful. Now he is a happy electrician with a girlfriend of 2 years and we still get together for a fika now and then. Other than that I am proud that I managed to get my drivers license last year. It felt like it was way overdue because I started when I was 16 and I'm 22 now. Actually I just realized that I'm proud of quite a few things. I'm in quite a rough spot at the moment and this made me feel better, thanks OP!
Fantastic grades in college so far, taken nine something classes so far. Honors student, Dean's list, and all that.
I slept with your mom.
i'm proud of the chat bot i made for wayt's discord and that post in that how do you code thread and i'm proud for not being banned in 28 months
My single best Rubik's Cube solve time (23.87 seconds) which was amazingly lucky but I also didn't hesitate at all during it. Frankly I haven't done much of any real worth. :v:
I'm alive! :D
My old Dreamcast that still works like a charm after all these years.
Saving my cousin from certain death
not blowing my brains out learning basic coding and work with the Ardiuno finding and learning about who I am and generally being an okay person in real life, not down talking mocking or anything awful. I've been giving compliments, staying more positive and such.
At an age of 22 I have managed the following: - Getting married - Buying a house - Buying a brand new car (twice). - Landing a job as a system developer right after school. It blows my mind sometimes, when I compare how far I am with most things, to other people my age.
The fact that I've been able to help and be a driving force in others lives, despite my immunological condition that I've been battling my whole life.
I learned to draw pretty decent, and taught my bro how to ink and color stuff digitally. He just started being able to do things 100% on his own now.
I'm proud of my girlfriend. The strongest person I know who has been through more than her fair share of shit. I am proud of myself for surviving this long and becoming stronger than I have ever imagined to be.
So far, not dying.
im good at playing some instruments
I don't like my life nor where it's gone, no matter if I have gone to uni, I feel like I don't have purpose and I'm trying to do better. One of my proudest moments is when this mentally ill guy kept coming into a shop I was working who was saving up for a phone. He came in one day to buy it but came up short, so I walked to the back room with his money, threw in £20 from my wallet and said that I just miscounted it. He went with his phone completely happy and oblivious to what happened. Right now I work for a good company and I got an interview on Tuesday to do much more challenging and demanding work, so I hope that goes well.
