   I'm helping my manager write good things about myself for internal review and my skin is crawling.

   This is *not* my natural mode of talking about myself.

     @clacke It never is in a corporate environment (which I assume you're in?). You're in what I call “LinkedIn mode”. That's bound to make your skin crawl…

     @patrickv Yeah, no corporate environment, no such thing as "internal review". In smaller places I just hung out and solved problems with friends.

     Now I need to rephrase that as proactive engagement with clients, contributing to team spirit and working with an innovative mindset that provides premium value to stakeholders and shows commitment and responsibility.

     @clacke an idea: Practice, by writing good things about your teammates to your managers. (I've been trying to do this lots, it's rewarding. IDK if it'll help with the self-regard challenge.)

     @clacke This sounds like your boss is trying to justify retention before layoffs get announced.
     
     Even if it is, I'm glad to see you impressed them so much that they're willing to make that effort.
