Things that make you proud of yourself

Lets write your positive things of your life... That make you proud.


I made a personal challenge for myself, to serve in the emergency room, being the only doctor in the hospital area, also taking the role of deputy director on duty, emergency room, attending 34 patients each medical night shift for 4 months each 4 days, completely alone, with no other colleague other than myself, when many colleagues refuse to do medical shifts consecutively in the medical emergency area.


In addition to saving the lives of 6 people in different áreas during this time.

Wow, how is anyone supposed to top that?! Saving lives tops all.

I suppose the concept that I'm proud of for my own life is my ability to push through physical pain/annoyance. From high school long distance running, to marine corps boot camp, to rehabilitation from severe nerve damage (turner parsonage syndrome), no physical hurdle is going to stand in my way from living life.

Right now it's been 7 years since I lost the function of some shoulder and back muscles and complete loss of my right bicep due to turner parsonage syndrome and I can do 40 pound bicep curls with that bicep that once couldn't pick up a coffee cup. My back is still very weak (my relatively strong arms and legs have been protecting it) but finally I can seem to flex it all, my goal right now is to get it back to normal with lots of carefully targeted dumbbell work. I want to go shirtless and smile within a year or so.

Very content that my wife and I have held our marriage together despite some rocky and difficult times, approaching 20 years now. Happy my children are good, compassionate and loving people. Happy that I secured a good paying job after the early years of struggling financially as a family.

I can provide a comfortable life for myself without needing to partner up. Love my independence.
Been working out and eating well for little over a year now, I have rested maybe 6 weeks out of about 60.
Decided to pursue another degree and I'm 1/3 through with it.

Completing video games, I remember giving up on Wind Waker on the GameCube than I convinced myself to finish it in a serious way now it’s once of the best games I’ve played, legit contender for GOAT.

I think the last game I legit finished was Super Mario Odyssey. I've started many games since then, but lose the energy to complete them.

I wake up each morning wanting to kill myself but I'm too cowardly to go ahead with it.

So, I guess I'm proud of being a coward?

You're sure it's not because of some inner hope that's glowing, maybe ever so slightly, in your inner being, that gives a glimpse, no matter how abstract its intention, speaks to you on a subconscious level that every morning you wake you can find just enough strength to get through the day (but not really)? You're not alone. <3

Sorry Chris, had to edit, English isn't my first language =/

To be fair, I was only being semi-serious. There are plenty of days where I do wake up and question why I'm alive, but I would definitely say my self-esteem and value of self-worth has improved massively over the years. I refuse (or try to, at least) to let my inner demons ruin my life. I have a reason for my being, something I didn't believe I had for a long, long time. It's nice to be reminded, though, much love to you.

It's impossible to find me on the internet. Feels good.
same here.

A. got no social media (fb, insta, tiktok, etc). well i do have a twitter/reddit but only to lurk and neither use my real name. i used to post on twitter back in 07-09 under an old account and i used to post on reddit a few years ago (maybe about 2-3 years ago under an old account) but that place is toxic af so i just don't bother posting anymore. i always made sure to never post anything to identify myself. i suppose you could call this place a social media so if anyone wants to try stalk me this is probably your best chance. at best you might get my city and my age. i literally don't post anything anywhere else on the internet.

B. the last photo i took of myself was 4 years ago. the last time someone took a photo of me was also ~4 years ago and i was not instantly recognisable (wearing hat/sunglasses). if there are any photos of me on the internet it'll be on an old site from like 2003-2006 (that's if the sites still exist)

C. sharing both your first and last name with a popular author has its benefits. if i google my name then a shit load of pages about them come up so even if there was a site out there that had my name ... good luck finding it.

Live from NeoGAF, it's Friday Night!
I have build a house with my father and the help of some friends. I gained a lot of knowledge and crafting skills from it.

I volunteered full time in a hospital for one year and helped the most sick and desperate people to either regain their health or make the rest of their days bearable.
It was a hard time but it made me appreciate my health and formed my character to an incredible positive extend.

I can solve the Rubik's Cube in about 12 seconds on average.

Still time to extend the list... :messenger_grinning:

I'm proud of doing a 36 hour fast right now and not succumbing to a Mars bar.

Maybe in a few years with a lot more fasting and exercise and less Mars bars I'll have something real to be proud of. Until then.... :lollipop_tired:
I can't fast, but I've been starved before. Dreaming about food kind of helped me. Keep drinking water, and eating air, you got this.

Are you doing the fast for medical/diet reasons?

After years of personal hell with drinking and psoriasis, I have been able to get my shit together. After liver transplant tho, which dampers my achievements. I think it was best thing which happened to me, I am better than ever. Sorry for bragging.
- 8" penis
- I am a pretty decent cook
Weird thing that you engage in MGTOW behavior, with such equipment.
Dick size means fuck all tho, there are shit ton of other reasons, so I guess meh. But I had to react

Just for the record, as my masculinity is very fragile in one aspect, I have just a bit less than main bragger in this thread.

Also I am glad, that blackpill West Texas CEO West Texas CEO is no more, I still remember that thread and back then it made me sad.
