What personality trait do you dislike?

Ellsbells

I can't stand nosiness. It's even annoys me more when people say 'oh don't mind me, I'm just nosey'. If you know you are nosey and need to apologise for it then why not stop being nosey??

I can't stand people who are hiding something so I always have to end up nosing about them

Handsome Bob

Coldness and apathy.

Catari Jaguar

I think nosiness is human nature in a way, we're voyeuristic and do compare ourselves to people and in a twisted way feed off misfortune - rubber necking at accidents. Traits I have no time for are fickleness, lack of a backbone, two facedness, flakiness, cruelty to those less fortunate, making a fool out of a person, lack of passion and a drive to fight for something.

Sorcha16

Bad manners irk me more than anything else

Mc Kenzie

I dont really like people who are arrogent and all about themselves.

for instance you meet someone and some people never ask about how you are dong or anything about you ,,but love to talk about themself.

Ellsbells

Oh it also drives me mad when people offset a nasty comment they are about to make by saying 'I always speak my mind'...

sam34

meanness
dishonesty
selfishness
use of emotional blackmail

The_Kew_Tour

Arrogant

mark renton

Neediness

baby and crumble

Bitchiness

Cruelty

People who constantly ask for advice but never take it, and come back a week later with the exact same problem asking for more advice

Bullying tactics

Unwarranted arrogance

Bad manners

Merkin

I absolutely hate nosiness as well. I'm curious and interested in people but I hate that awful, insidious and intrusive need to know simply because their own lives are so vacuous. :cool: I also dislike meanness in any shape or form or unkindness in any form.

tippspur

People who brag about their children.

m'lady

Stinginess- think its a horrible trait..

Hope O_o

passive-aggressiveness and subtle digs
manipulation, deceitfulness, trickery
shaming and blaming
cruelty

Eve_Dublin

Snobbery and apathy.

Shelga

Superficiality and materialism.

FairytaleGirl

Negativity about everything possible.

People who wallow in self pity.

Those who gossip to people on purpose and stand back and watch the mess they've created.

People who need to be the centre of attention - its desperate and it really grins me!

ArtyC

Lying!!!! Some folk live in a total dreamland I think- they'd lie about what they ate for breakfast!! Also if someone has a funny/ sad/ romantic etc story they have to lie to "beat them" as it were. Like one of the girls got engaged, was telling us how it happened and x then says " oh that's lovely, reminds me of when Paul/ Sean/ Pedro ( some dude we never met ) arrived to my house in a fancy car, whisked her to Paris and proposed to her blah blah blah!!! But she couldn't say yes ya know cause she just didn't love him enough blah blah blah!!!

Meauldsegosha

Meanness/tightness. Not just with money but with their time and emotions.

seenitall

Smugness, entitlement, arrogance.

Lying and passive-aggressiveness are also some of the things I can't stand, but I'm pretty intuitive about the first and on the ball about the second so I give them very short shrift and they don't bother me as much as the first three. The first three just really trigger me for some reason, I start seeing red!

KamiKazeKitten

Cruelty
Flakiness/being two faced
Vanity
Arrogance
Lying
Selfishness
Coldness
Domineering
Conceited
Unreliable
Condescending

Princess Peach

I could rant all day about this :pac:

Bad manners for sure. I think women should be ladies and men should be gentlemen and all should uphold my high standards of what that means :pac:

People who share waaaayy too much unnecessary details publicly, like intimate details of their sex lives or bodily functions. Have some class please! I also believe this usually ties in with attention seekers.

Loud people, I hate shouting!! Just move to the person you need to talk to.

People who have to get a sly dig in. If something annoys you, just ignore it, no need to point it out to the person.

Being bitter and negative about life and love.

Constantly moaning about something you have the power to change.

Bitchyness and behind the back stuff. You have a problem with someone, sort it out with them. I have been in situations with girls too many times when the subject of an issue would always be the last to know what was going on.

I'll stop, I could go on but I feel I'd be contradicting myself :pac:

xDramaxQueenx

Overly sensitive people, to the point of them thinking that they are in fact the most important people in the world and everything in life should suit them and their needs.

Spoilt people, I hate spoilt children and the only thing worse would be spoilt adults

pushkii

oh god i could go on and on and on i would definitely put stingyness and arrogance at the top with superficiality loudness and always wanting to be the centre of attention . wow it is hard to find someone with a near perfect personality, i guess a lot of the undesirable traits are very insecure about themselves

daenerysstormborn3

Dishonesty - in terms of both telling lies and bitching behind someone's back and being fake to their face. I'd rather be told something hard to hear than know that a person is just being fake to save themselves from an uncomfortable conversation.

Bad manners.

Selfishness.

This may not be a trait, maybe a mindset, but I hate it when people make gross generalisations about a gender.

Bitterness.

One-up-manship. Drives me bonkers. Some people cannot just let someone tell a story or say something without viewing it as a competition. Even worse is the ones who lie to compete, you know, person 1: "I hurt my leg at the weekend", person 2: "I've broken my leg 5 times and it's always sore but you don't hear me moaning".

People who complain about having money problems but then tell you that they're spending their money on iphones, nights out, shopping every weekend etc. etc. God forbid you make do with a basic phone until you have a bit more money.

bluestar2010

I hate people who brag about their children. You wouldn't hear a word out of them if their children had nothing to show for themselves. Have to remember that the shoe could always be on the other foot. You can be lucky in life or not so lucky.

IHeartShoes

Rudeness

beks101

Weakness, someone who doesn't have a backbone.

Would rather lie to someone to avoid 'letting them down' than asserting themselves and saying 'I don't want to go', 'I'm not into you', 'I don't like that person'.

Dishonesty for the sake of an easy life, essentially. So many people are like this.

cynicism because it corrupts every aspect of the cynics life.

jessiejam

Smart ass know it all b1tches that think they do in fact, know it all.
Those that try and ram their opinion down your throat and think their opinion is the right one and are not open to anyone elses opinion.
2 faced people that are all nice to your face and read you to the nearest person.
Ignorant b1tches
Snobs that look down on those that have less than them
Liars
Patronising people

Over-sensitiveness.

flyswatter

I'm a male myself but I always found there to be many people in general comfortable bitching about people when they're not present.

Never been into talking about people behind their back myself, don't feel like joining in at all. Not my style.

Lyaiera

Boringness/lack of curiousity - I can't stand people who dismiss other people's hobbies, interests or passions as boring as if they're too worthy for them themselves. People are so varied in what they're into and what they find enjoyable and I think pretty much anything is interesting if it's presented in the right way. Sure, loads of people aren't very capable of explaining why their particular interest is so amazing but if you take the time to look into it there's going to be loads of interesting things about it. And this is across pretty much everything. There's so much out there, and what things usually lack is a good explanation or teacher rather than being simply boring themselves. I love running across people with different pastimes because you're almost guaranteed of finding out something new and interesting that you never would have imagined.

JamJamJamJam

Close-mindedness - Can be about all sorts of things from politics to fashion... And a bit like what Lyaiera said come to think of it. I don't drink so when I suggest to my friends that we spend a night at the cinema or playing some board game or whatever, and they want to go to a pub, some of them look at me like I have two heads... Which I don't :P

When people are constantly flirtatious

Pretentiousness

Arrogance... Often it's not totally obvious, until you're in a restaurant and they start giving shite to the server...

Roadtrippin

I can't stand when someone is arrogant, selfish, vain, cruel or insulting.

Another thing that I find unbearable is when someone never says what they actually mean and then just goes passive-aggressive to bring their point across instead. It's like walking on egg shells with people like that! All the drama and the second-guessing what went wrong this time! As you can tell by my little rant, I have some experience dealing with passive-aggressive drama queens myself. Hate that kind of carry-on!!!

Whatsernamex33

There probably is a word for this, but it completely escapes me atm.

Buttt, people who are unwilling to accept other people's differences. Basically the cliquey bunch of girls you'd see in school who would only talk to you if you had similar interests in say, makeup or clothes, and just give off the impression you're not worthy to talk to them. :rolleyes:

Bubblefett

Pretentiousness is a serious pet peave of mine, I just cannot stand the trait in a person.

Bitchiness, negativity, and selfishness. Utterly unattrative traits.

there is healthy cynicism though, people who float through life believing everything is sunshine and rainbows and can't see whats staring them in the face are just as annoying. Nothing wrong with having a level headed realistic take on things, but still being able to be optimistic about certain stuff.

Toast4532

Pretentiousness, selfishness, insulting, over-sensitiveness, meanness, people who are judge mental.

Drama, ugh yes, my biggest one. I have no time for it, some people thrive on stirring sh1t to make their own boring lives seem interesting. oh and couples who break up every weekend then are back together by midweek.

Toast4532

I forgot nastiness and drama too.

Arrogance
Ugh
It makes me want to puke.

Das Kitty

Most negative personality traits I can come to some level of understanding with in an individual. I can see them as a reflection of the person's unhappiness etc. But there's something so draining about negativity.

We're going to try this new thing -- it'll never work
I hurt my toe -- you might want to get that checked out, it could be toe cancer.
Christmas bonus! -- wait and see, they'll find some other way of screwing us.

I used to work with a guy like this and I would be soooo tired by the end of the day.

ICANN

I agree with everything I've read so far on this thread.

Personally, sneakiness and stinginess are two awful traits. When I see them in a person I really can't have any respect for them.
