I think for some people, they are so used to thinking about what is wrong with their life, that it is hard for them to look for and find their own positive attributes or to talk about their life in a positive way..

Most of us are taught ot be pessimistic, and it comes out when we try to talk or write about ourselves, and if we are aware of that kind of thing in ourselves, then there is a great deal fo reluctance to write about ourselves.

In my own case, I don't worry so much about trying to make myself look good, so much as I try to show I am an honest person. If someone values honesty, I hope that will show through to them.
