An Antidote to Your Worst Traits

    As the title suggests this here thread is where you can share all of the things you love about yourself. What you feel are your best qualities.
    We give ourselves enough criticism that a bit of self love (no sniggering) is often needed.

    Modesty has no place here. So unleash your inner good points, throw off the shackles from your ego and go forth and release your amazingness :)

    I've been told I'm supportive. Most people like my sense of humour.
    In person at least.

    I've got a really good heart. It's kind and gentle. I'm not scared of myself or others. I listen and look after. I like my hair and even my soft little body which I sometimes wish was as hard as a mahogany desk :)


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'm reasonably smart, well regarded at work, easy to get along with, don't take myself too seriously, not bad looking, am a good friend, considerate to others, love to laugh, love adventure and learning new things, and I have an occasionally monstrous appetite but never put on weight!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭bodice ripper


    I am a natural bad ass. Otherwise hopeless, but effortlessly cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,409 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    I have three bellybuttons. An innie, an outlie, and a shakeitallaboutie.

    And elegant knees.

    I did OK in an aptitude test recently. That's not really a personality trait though, is it?

    I'm not sure I've many of those, not positive ones anyways.

    I'm an arsehole tbh, mostly.

    I have not destroyed all life on planet Earth as of yet. Pretty proud of my ability to resist the urge the press the red button.

    I've been working in various sorts of IT tech support and training for 15+ years, and I still love and respect my users.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,003 ✭✭✭Hammer89


    I'm a thoughtful, funny, selfless, intelligent, tall, handsome (naturally I mean - not at the moment because I'm carrying a few extra stone which hides by jawline) kind, generous, compassionate soul with a huge heart which isn't built for hate - only love and lots of it.

    I'm direct
    I know what i'm talking about
    Efficient
    Quick
    Sympathetic

    I'm told i'm a great listener which is true.

    I can get on with most people even people most others dislike. So absolutely not snobbish in any way.

    I am a good worker when I have to be and say what needs to be said even if it is not what people want to hear.

    I look after those I care about
    I've learned how not to give a single **** about most things in life.
    I can put eyeliner on perfectly on a moving train
    I'm very modest!!!

    Curious about everything, low and high-brow, I never get bored. Obsessively considerate - I have a massive fear of being a pain in the arse, so I go out of my way not to be. In self-clearing restaurants or cafés, I always clear my table (and sometimes other tables too, when people haven't bothered). I never get annoyed when other people make mistakes. I've learnt to acknowledge and laugh at my own social awkwardness - which I've found makes me a bit less socially awkward. Oh, and I can change a duvet cover in less than a minute.

    Worst traits??? :confused:

    Are you suggesting that I'm not already perfect in every way?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,786 ✭✭✭wakka12


    I care too much about the feelings of everybody else even people who would walk all over me no questions asked. Maybe its a good thing that I care so much about everyone, or maybe its not i don't know

    I suppose I'm not too bad.

    I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

    I woo women with my sensuous and god-like trombone playing. I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in 20 minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love and an outlaw in Peru.

    Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello...I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang-gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

    I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire, I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail...Last summer I toured New Jersey with a travelling centrifugal force demonstration...My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

    I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

    I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago, I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four-course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prize-winning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis. But I have not yet gone to college.

    I'm funny and pretty smart.

    I try to see the best in people.

    I'm quite good at what I do.

    I'm good at conflict and confrontation (not that I seek it out, quite the opposite), and I'm actually quite proud of that one because I have a natural tendency to have a roaring hell-cúnt of a temper and it took years to get it under control. I can keep my temper, and calmly try and resolve something without degenerating into point-scoring and pettiness, and if all else fails I know when to leave before I explode.

    I'm kind and polite. Comes back to bite me in the arse regularly enough truth be told, but sure it's grand. I compliment people, give up my seat on the bus, hold doors, say thanks in shops etc. Can't take the credit for that though, it's how I was reared.

    I'm funny.

    My hair is lovely.
