No, not what I've said what others say makes you awesome (though if they're supporting arguments, that's fine).

What do you say makes you awesome?

For me, I'm highly creative and imaginative. I'm unusually playful for an adult and refuse to grow up. Life's too short. I use humor to rise about any obstacle or any situation.

What about you? Let's brag about ourselves!

I'm very empathic, although that's sometimes a double-edged sword. I also teach computers how to do new things (which is just my way of saying "I'm a programmer/software developer").

I'm told that I look pretty decent, though I don't know if I'd ever be able to believe that myself most of the time.

Then finally, I'm a pretty logic-first sort of thinker (another double-edged sword at times), though this comes at the cost at me not really being all that creative/imaginative, which I do wish I was better at.

It's very much needed into today's world. That's so beautiful!

I like that. Same here.

It's rare someone's logical and empathetic. You're so beautiful and amazing!

Thank you, that means a lot to me! After hearing some bad news yesterday, this was a nice ray of sunshine through the clouds!
