talk help: What makes somebody ‘good enough’? - Help.com

I think anyone who is true to themselves is “good enough” We’re all different and that’s awesome! I don’t care what color someone is or if they’re gay or straight or who they hang out with. If people are true to themselves they tend to be true to other people. That’s what matters.

Well it really depends person to person.

For me I need a person who is willing to accept I’m an *******, and who is intellectually curious. That’s it if we are talking in terms of friendship. Oh and a love of media helps.

As far as relationships physical attraction obviously matters too.

Whatever society asks of them will decide that I think.

The discovery of the self.

There are completely different traits each with their own qualities. These traits are separate and shouldn’t be judged for the whole.
On the general scope of self-confidence and “being good,” find purpose and do the right thing. That’s it.
The real rewards are in the improvement of life, and not dwelling on badness, regrets.

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

You’re good. You’re great. Don’t lose hope. Keep trying, this post is you trying, you’re talking, you’re moving. This is all good.

Everyone is good enough, but if you want my attention or to talk to me, then you’d have to be much more than “good enough” — you would have to actually do something. For example, today I was walking and someone tried talking to me. That was slightly unusual, but I took out my earbud headphones and talked to them for half an hour. I don’t know if I should have been judging her as “good enough” or “too bad”, maybe I should have? The only reason we interacted is because she spoke to me loudly enough that I thought I should take out me earbuds. And then, since I wasn’t sure how much time I had till my other future goal, I just randomly talked for a while.

For self, the fact of existence is good enough, unfortunately it can take a lot of effort to survive, most of it in pleasing others in one way or another.

Happiness is good enough. Good enough to spend an entire existence attempting to accomplish. Everyone is trying. Isn’t one of the most fortunate things in the world that giving amounts of our time to other people who are trying to achieve happiness sometimes happens to make achieving our own easier?

I would be pleasant to anybody unless they were hurting other people I think. I can empathize with most people, but I reserve my love for those who try to be happy, are honest with themselves, and don’t hurt anyone.

everyone has different things they like/dislike want/don’t want value/don’t care.

I may like a boy because he always put his shoes by the door and folds his clothes while someone else may look for physical traits, personality traits, the way the person responds, the way the person acts, the way the person treats you, what they like, what they believe, what they do, and in general “who they are”
answering this question for myself is much easier than taking a poll because there are things others may consider that I never would and vice versa. For instance, it is important to me and I am attracted to guys who have the same sense of humor and laugh at things like the movie “Juan of the dead” and things like that. I knew a women who HAD to see the guys feet before they dated to know whether or not she could like him. And another girl I know needs to be with someone who contacts her regularly and doesn’t make her wait for a reply. (instant gratification)
Everyone is different and has different “is good enough” “isn’t good enough” qualifications. That’s all that can be certain.
I also like guys with pretty eyes.
