    eat & drink far far too quickly. Really have to hold myself back out for dinner in polite company.

    I can be vindictive when I feel a person has wronged me and have acted on my grudges in the past. But I'm easy-going also, so it does take an awful wrongdoing to get me that mad in the first place.

    I'm fairly laid back and it can take me a while to get around to doing things that aren't time sensitive or I don't feel are important. So I guess lazy as well. I can't really hide it when I don't like someone...was told once by a friend that someone I had met said I was cold but the truth is I just didn't like them. I'm quick to judge based on first impressions but people have changed my opinion on them at a later stage so I try not to do that now :O. I can be your worst enemy if you cross me but it takes a lot to anger me that much. I'm kinda grumpy but my temper leaves me as quick as it comes on. I rarely blow my top.

    My problem is I'm a real user of women. I move in right away, and stay until the money's gone.

    I can be thin skinned, find it hard to let go of hurts, a bit passive-aggressive, a bit intolerant sometimes, too giddy, prone to clumsiness, an anxious overthinker on occasion, insecurity about some aspects of myself. Sometimes I'm not a nice person. I try not to make my issues a problem for anyone else though.

    The best thing I really have going for me is an acute awareness of the above, and a willingness to work on myself. One day I'll get there.

    I overthink things, hold grudges, am stubborn and selfish.

    I have good points too, so I won't be too hard on myself.

    I'm not the best, but I'm not the worst either.

    Also have a tendency to dismiss all my bad traits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,419 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    I'm incredibly selfish. I often suprise myself at my inability to consider anyone else but myself in anything I do :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,075 ✭✭✭Dick phelan


    none i'm great in every way. (ok maybe narcissism)

    Isn't that self-absorbed more than selfish?
    Doesn't selfish imply that there's personal benefit involved?

    Whether it's kicking lifelong friends in the balls for no reason, or stopping rickshaws on Camden Street and asking them to bring me to the airport, I'm quite immature when I'm drunk. You can't put it down to youthful exuberance anymore, because I'm closer to being 30 than I am 20. I think it's great craic though. I'm only classing it as a 'bad trait' because I've effectively been told as much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,434 ✭✭✭Robsweezie


    Definitely a procrastinator, making plans to do whatever and then when it comes to, I rationalize as to why its not important or it can wait until tomorrow.

    I'm very indecisive about matters both trivial and important. I go back and forth on what I want. It takes me longer to decide what I'm happy with. Pizza or Chinese? Let me think about it for an hour....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭eet fuk


    I'm quite cynical, and I always expect the worst.

    Thank you, you could be right.

    Self-absorbed it is!

    I don't really have any, to be honest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    I don't really have any, to be honest.

    Predictability?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,802 ✭✭✭beks101


    Moody and impatient.

    Can be incredibly lazy about doing the right thing sometimes. That's probably the worst one. I know in theory I should send that email to a colleague or text that friend I haven't seen in ages or not agree to things that I know I can't commit to. And yet... I sit there and let the regret build. Don't know if I'm getting better or worse with age.

    I'm also my own worst enemy with the negative thinking. Scold myself about 50 times a day.

    I also laugh at myself a lot though, don't give up on things and I'm a kind hearted old soul in a general sense, so I guess there's that


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭Penny Tration


    Sensitive to any perceived criticism, terrible at asserting myself of confronting anyone, I shy away from difficult situations and I'm a bit sarcastic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,297 ✭✭✭✭Sam Kade


    Or more so, can you admit your bad traits?
    ..And I mean personality traits

    Are you unfriendly, ego-tistic or just a plain sh*t ?
    I would easily admit I have flaws about myself and I'm almost sure everyone else can admit their own flaws deep down in their little hearts.

    What are your flaws then, seeing that you want to know everyone else's?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,962 ✭✭✭r93kaey5p2izun


    I'm emotionally detached and just don't connect with other people beyond a superficial level. I have low self esteem and a crippling fear of failure. I'm constantly anxious and can't deal with confrontation at all.

    I have a list a million miles long.

    I'm very quiet around people I don't know, and that can come off as snobby or bitchy. Apparently.

    I'm incredibly impatient , and get really edgy watching people take ages to do something I could do in a few minutes. Basically, if you tell me you're going to do something you better do it there and then.

    I'm a desperate over thinker. Someone could say something totally well meaning and my brain will turn it into something hurtful. It's caused many sleepless nights.

    I'm also an emotional wreck. I cry at everything. Last weekend my housemate thought there was something really wrong with me because she came in to find me in floods of tears. I had been watching animal rescue videos on YouTube .

    I have very little faith in myself, despite being pretty accomplished in my field. I always assume I can't do something until I actually do it.

    I get really uncomfortable if my shared space isn't neat and tidy. My personal space is organised chaos

    I don't really have a filter and say stuff without thinking a lot of the time. I spend a lot of time apologising.

    I can get very easily distrac....

    I have very little regard for my own personal safety. For instance, I recently made friends with a racoon.

    I can be really flakey and a bit lazy and have a habit of cancelling plans for no other reason than I just couldn't be arsed.

    I'm also overly self critical.

    I can never follow my own advice. I was telling my sister recently that she should get out more and join some Meetups as she was feeling very alone and friendless after a tough few months and that people are all in the same boat and nobody would judge her. She took my advice and had several very entertaining evenings out.

    And yet.....I also feel very lonely and decided to join a Meetup Table Quiz as I don't have a lot of friends right now. What did I do? Got as far as the pub door, heard laughter within, bottled it entirely and drove home and had a few drinks alone..safe I guess. I'm a flawed human being.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,182 ✭✭✭RonanP77


    I'm stubborn, intolerant, judgemental, agressive, I call a spade a spade and seemingly all that adds up to being a little intimidating. I'm grand once you get to know me though.

    Unless you're lazy, fat, loud, an a**hole etc., then I won't be grand to you at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,199 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    Classic introvert type here. Extroverts often do not get it and take it up the wrong way. We can't all be extrovert though...

    I procrastinate. Then have a mad frenzy to get things done within a very short space of time.

    I love my OH and my family to bits. I still have hissy fits with them all, but they understand me, as I do them.

    I would say I am my own person and do not suffer fools gladly either.

    Personality types are amazing. There are so many, and if we understood about them a bit more, life might be a bit easier for everyone!

    I know that feeling when going into a busy pub while sober and thinking that the whole pub is looking at you. There are plenty of meetups that are not pub based so maybe give one of them a shot? Last one that I went to was a cinema night.

    Im extremely loyal but unfortunately im very quiet so i think other people are afraid of me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,928 ✭✭✭Renegade Mechanic


    I'm about as sociable as a loud, cheek clattering fart :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,434 ✭✭✭Robsweezie


    Also find it very hard to walk away from confrontation. If someone gets thick with me, I'll get thick with them. You get caught up and drawn into it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭chrissb8


    Not great at being punctual, overestimate time. I can be largely emotionless but I honestly think it's just the sheer volume of crap on social media always trying to make you feel sad, angry etc. just turn off now to it all. I have a bit of contempt for people who won't speak English properly enunciate your words and don't mutter, I hate muttering.

    I'm manipulative at rare times but not in an evil way. I just like to see myself getting something too and if it proves beneficial to both parties. I've been told that I'm cold/have a guard up/hard to read reaction (not shy) to people I don't know and intimidating because of my size and resting b**** face. That all changes when I get to know you and like you. Having said that though my positives far outweigh my negatives and I've been told by people constantly from of all walks of life and by family and friends that I'm loyal, smart, brave, get on with anyone and great craic. Probably why my teenage life was devoid of all drama :D
