What are my best physical features?
Ah, you had to go there. Never ask someone with body dysmorphia to remark on her physical features.
I think this question is intended to be an introspective boost of one’s self esteem, or perhaps for the very vain, a means to spotlight one’s shiniest, most attractive bits.
Whatever. In an attempt to be authentic, here are what I determine to be my best physical attributes.
My eyes. This isn’t because I think my eyes are anything spectacular but rather because the are multi-generational. I got these eyes from my mother, and though I didn’t physically pass them down through my own child-bearing, my eyes are exactly my nephew Jacob’s eyes. I think this especially awesome.
My smile. I have my mother’s smile, which is gorgeous. And since I have an off-putting resting face (making me look mean and/or snobby), wearing a smile makes a big difference in how I’m perceived.
My hands. I’m a tall girl with long, slender hands. These hands allowed me to play the piano as a child and eventually learn to type in the ninth grade (on TYPEWRITERS). My boys say that when it type it sounds like mice running across the keyboard. I’m quick and efficient, which is helpful for writing, so for that, I’m grateful for my hands.
