What do you think about when you say the word "I am an awesome person"?
For me
It is a positive thing to say.

Awesome feels like really overused hyperbole. To me, "awe" is something massive that should shake your very being and happen only once or twice or maybe never in your life. By using the word awesome to simply mean "quite good" we've lost the language to explain things that are truly awesome.
This is probably a cultural thing, though. I'm English and we tend towards understatement. I remember asking a friend about his wedding and he said, "Yeah. Not bad".
