We focused on the negative, now the positive. What are your redeeming features, physical or personality-wise? We all have our sins, but we also have our virtues. Enough white will make black disappear.
Mine:
1. Optimism. I find it easy to make the best of a bad situation and think of a better future, rather than lamenting a horrid present. When things are gloomy, I try to remind people of happier times and give them ideas on how to make things better.
2. Young spirit. I retain my youth at heart even as I age and as my mind has to deal with more adult issues.
3. Good learning ability. Knowledge is power, but you must be willing to learn to wield the power. Like most here on CFC, I have above-average intellect and a voracious mind for things that intrigue me. My memory is quite potent, allowing me to recall incidents that others have forgotten(and sometimes exact vengeance for said incidents).
4. Passive generosity. I may not give much in terms of cash, but I will and have helped family when they really need it(like when my cousin would be left penniless if her boyfriend couldn't find a ride to work). I like to try and bless people, or use spiritual means to help them get by. I consider it atoning for the many sins I've done, do, and will do.
5. Poor ability to lie. Intentional or non, my ability to lie is subpar. Not precisely virtuous since it's not 100% willing, but many see it as a virtue nonetheless. I can lie best when it is not malicious in intent.
6. Respect where it's due. I respect my parents and their generosity far more than my sister, and also respect authority figures in general, even if I do have the temptation to slap them across the face on occassion. I was often a favorite pupil of many teachers, and called a teacher's pet for my fierce loyalty.
7. Wise gambler. When I hit a profit margin, I don't get sucked into "it will keep going up" - I get out and wait until something drops before going in again. Not stopping while ahead is the ruiner of any would-be fortunes. The exception to this if it's fake money, since I don't need to take precautions as much.
8. Strong morals. They are few and far between, but my moral code is absolute. No innocent shall be harmed, you shall not rob the poor, and nobody should have to steal for food.

Saying wishful thinking like "I am perfect" will earn you being reported for spam.
So what are your redeeming features?
