    I have a tendency to be brutally honest.

    Interviewer - "I wouldn't see that as a fault"

    Me - "I don't give a f..... what you think!"

    I give up on things too easily. If I try to take up a new hobby or try to learn a new skill, I get frustrated when I'm not the greatest in the world at it after a few days. So I say "I clearly suck at this, what's the point?" and give up. I then get envious and resent ful of people who are good at those things, and beat myself up for being so inferior in comparison.

    Tying in with this, I am extremely self-critical. Nothing I do is ever good enough.

    I also wish I was more of a creative person. Being able to make music/make art/write literature would be amazing. But because I give up on everything and nothing is ever good enough, my masterpieces have yet to be created and probably never will be. :(

    Oh and I have extremely little patience or tolerance when it comes to children. "Cuteness" be damnedn I generally can't stand the loud, whiny, irritating little fúckers.

    Finally, I have an awful tendency to answer questions asking for a singular answer with multiple suggestions.

    I drink, I smoke and then I end up picking fights with homeless people.

    I'm judgemental.

    I'm handsome, witty, intelligent, fun to be around...but extremely modest :pac::pac::pac:

    Sometimes getting bothered/hurt by really stupid trivial crap - not *every* trivial situation, but there are certain contexts where I do, and I have to work on not giving a sh-t, which I shouldn't.

    Take yourself to the TA thread and let it all out.

    I can be a bit gobby but I'm working on it.

    Hot headed, Straight to the point, sugar coat nothing, acid tongue, stubborn, always have to have the last word, hold grudges, take no prisoners and can't admit when I've been wrong.

    I'm a lovely person altogether :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    And not knowing my own limits. Often, while sitting in the bathroom of a house party or nightclub, one eye closed so I don't fall off the toilet, I wonder how I managed to get so drunk, and wondering why my willpower abandoned me when I needed it most. I can apply this to most aspects of my life.

    No willpower to not eat the cake
    No willpower to shut my mouth and not say it
    No willpower to wait for anything. I decide I want something and I want it yesterday

    I hate being wrong. I'll argue all day that I'm not wrong even if I know that I am. I also have a terrible habit of correcting other people and can't let something that I know is wrong go without saying it.

    I think that's the type of personality a site like this attracts. ''dog with a bone'' posters who wont let up until they have the last word or feel theyve won the argument. stubborn to a fault :0

    I'm too aggressive ......... vicious temper and extremely confrontational.

    Very little patience ........ particularly when dealing with people I perceive to be idiots.

    Lack of empathy ......... unless something effects me personally, or my loved ones, I just don't care.

    OCD ......... everything must be organised, have a place and be in that place when not in use.

    Lack of remorse .......... I can be quite cold and rarely, if ever, feel any kind of guilt about something "bad" I might have said or done.

    I always try to believe the best about people at first and probably a lot longer than I should.

    I do a terrible thing to timid drivers
    if a driver wants to enter a major road from a minor road, I always flash them to go.
    however, I don't slow down
    ( if they were to suddenly stall the car in my path I could stop safely )
    if they are brave and go, all is well
    if they are indecisive and hesitate I keep going.

    I forgive people way too easily. Give people way too many chances, to the detriment of my own happiness at times, then when I am finally done with someone its a no going back kind of thing.

    I also have a habit of opening up too much to people who hurt me, telling them exactly why and how they have hurt me, and then instantly regretting it because I feel weak.

    And I can't work on a project properly unless the deadline is looming. Always have the best of intentions to work away at it with plenty of time but then leave it til a week or so before its due.
    This is my second time today saying I could have written the above word for word. :)

    Does anyone else ever find that they get really impatient with minor things?

    Utter clot when it comes to chatting up de ladies


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


    Im a really weak person I think. But I come off as very nice and giving because of this, the only reason people usually get their way with me is because Im very unconfrontational and don't want them to dislike me, I don't actually care about their happiness. So yeah most people think Im lovely but really I'm not lol:o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Indecisive and anxious
    Passive aggressive
    Not much charm
    Speak something before I think about what I'm saying.
    Impatient as ****.
    I can have willpower with stuff, but not straight away, its a gradual thing
    Introverted
    I give people things way too easily if I think it'll help them be nice to me. Like I'll hand over money, cigarettes, all sorts.


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


    I'm too introverted. I hide it well though on the surface.

    Introversion is hardly a character flaw, its a preference


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,816 ✭✭✭lulu1


    I take to much sh** from people and they know it. Instead of telling them to take a running jump I let it in one ear and out the other

    Doormat springs to mind

    But I will add the odd time I do explode by god they listen

    My biggest character flaw is Willem Dafoe's armpit.
