what i like to think of myself vs what i like thinking of myself

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'What I like to think of myself' implies that the speaker enjoys imagining certain qualities or characteristics about themselves. On the other hand, 'What I like thinking of myself' suggests that the speaker enjoys the act of thinking about themselves. The choice between the two depends on whether the emphasis is on the content of the thoughts or the act of thinking itself.
