I can be prickly in real life and bit over sensitive

[quote Hadalifeonce]@daisychain01. Is it because they believe they don't have any, or that they are conditioned not to admit to any weakness?[/quote]
I think a bit of both @Hadalifeonce Grin.

In general they never feel the need to expose their perceived weaknesses, I mean, can you imagine blokes going on Pistonheads or similar, talking about being over sensitive or pedantic. It isn't on their radar! They may well be all of those things and more but they'd never ever admit such 'failures' on a public forum. It's the patriarchy, an' all.

@TheSandman is just doing it to prove a point! One swallow never made a summer.

I awkward and impulsive. I've fucked my life over in pretty dramatic fashion twice now due to just not thinking.

TeenyTinyDustinHoffman · 08/12/2020 11:51

I am a master procrastinator.
I'm probably quite snobbish.
Can be standoffish- I wouldn't say I was unfriendly but I'm not a naturally warm person and am shit at small talk.

tempnamechange98765 · 08/12/2020 11:55

Oh my gosh, so many.

I'm selfish, bossy, controlling, always feel like I need to hash out an argument rather than let things go. Petty, over sensitive.

Surprised I have a DH or any friends tbh.

lovelemoncurd · 08/12/2020 12:25

@Lardlizard no not really she just said 'mum you can't even look interested when you are not' I said 'I know. It's terrible 😁'

PassataQueenofBritain · 08/12/2020 12:26

Even my teenaged children have complained about how much I swear [embarrassed]

I am the polar opposite of impulsive

I procrastinate until the deadline is so close as to bonk me on the head then go full tilt at 150% to meet it. Why? Confused

I'm selfish (inside, don't always show it)

I could have infinitely more patience, and still be quite impatient Blush

I don't love myself

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 08/12/2020 16:03

Oh it's a relief to see others the same here!

Overthinking
Procrastination
Always worried about something
Can hold a grudge forever!
Cannot forget anything
Terribly sentimental, melancholic
Jealous/envious sometimes even though I have no reason to be

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 08/12/2020 16:15

Unlike a few posters I have no sentimentality, it can be unnerving.

praepondero · 08/12/2020 16:48

I am much too direct and at the same time, I know what people want to hear, so if it suits me, I can be the best butterrer-upper. I'm the worst of both worlds.

ttigerlilly · 08/12/2020 16:53

I can be over-sensitive and I overthink things

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 08/12/2020 16:58

I'm impatient
I have a shocking temper that I can lose very quickly
I can be overly empathetic (I think that comes from being bullied)
I obsess over things. So if I one day decide I need to change something in the house, I can't forget about jt, or let it go until its done
On the flipside of that, I'm a terrible procrastinator when jt comes to going to appointments, doing paper work, or generally things I don't want to do or find boring
I drop people far too easily. I have 4 friends I've had since school, apart from that I make new friends in different places but don't keep up the relationship because I just can't be bothered.
I'm pretty lazy, but then sometimes have these bursts of energy for a few moths where I can't sit still (I annoy myself with both. No happy medium)

Lardlizard · 08/12/2020 17:09

@WankPuffins I’m interested to know what mad thjngs you’ve done without thinking that you think have messed up your life
Because I'm the opposite, I think I’m overly cautious

OP posts:
WankPuffins · 08/12/2020 18:29

@Lardlizard fucked up one marriage, lost all my money, lost my career. It's pretty hardcore.

I have a very small life now. Just Dh and the kids and I keep myself to myself. Much safer.

Paranoidmarvin · 08/12/2020 18:32

I don’t know. But I have no friends and no one likes me. So i must be awful.

PassataQueenofBritain · 08/12/2020 19:04

I am amazed at all the grudge-bearers on this thread, as I know so few in rl

nitgel · 08/12/2020 19:05

i bumble my words and come across as completely unconfident. I also waffle on. I don't come across well at interviews. Grin I just cannot fake until i make.

nitgel · 08/12/2020 19:06

oh and when something goes wrong at work I immediately think it's something i have done or not done.

nancybotwinbloom · 08/12/2020 19:08

I worry all the time about things that haven't happened and prob won't happen and catastrophise all the scenarios in my head.

Hawkins001 · 08/12/2020 19:18

I get bored easily, sometimes I want to rush projects to complete them and see the results, other times I begin them and start planning but then get a new plan or idea. Some times I'll do the same project for a bit then the intrigue fades, emotionally I tend not to open up my feelings and prefer to be more closed book style of handling my emotions. I tend to leave things to the last min, then rush around, sometimes I plan ahead but it depends.

Pikachubaby · 08/12/2020 19:22

Having too much confidence and self belief with no grounds for it or any achievements to back it up Grin (I constantly have to suppress/hide this or nobody would like me!)

Lardlizard · 08/12/2020 20:50

@WankPuffins What I ment was, what ddI you do that caused that to happen like did you flip one day and go mad at work or did you have a one night stand or like was it soemthing impulsive that happened

Do you feel happier now though ? Wishing you luck 🍸🍸

I sometimes think I should be more impulsive
Like I want to move to the seaside, yet I’ll perhaps getting a holiday pad as I’m not sure if I’m brave to make the big move when it actually comes to it

OP posts:
WankPuffins · 08/12/2020 20:54

@Lardlizard just a series of stupid decisions. Which I knew were stupid. But it was like an out of body experience. I can't really explain it.

Lardlizard · 08/12/2020 21:06

Well I’m wishing you all the best, onwards n upwards

I hate showing any kind of weakness and I’m a bad listener.

Lardlizard · 08/12/2020 21:09

@Paranoidmarvin do you have dc or dh?
