I can be prickly in real life and bit over sensitive

God I find people boring. If I find them fun I can forgive them a lot so my friends are a disparate group with a few who might appear to be wankers really. I can put on stones and think it makes no difference but if I lose them think I must be even more lovely. I love to argue and am a hugely accomplished gossip.

This describes me perfectly Grin

I’m abrupt and occasionally abrasive.. according to one of my work reports (from years ago - but it still amuses me).
I’m very mischievous.
I can get dreadfully out of control with my moods a few times a year.
I don’t know how to stop going on about things if I’m wronged/I have to win at confrontation.
I’m a bit useless at being stuck at home.
I get into a project and then rush it and can’t be bothered to do it “properly”.

I do have good points though

QualityFeet · 08/12/2020 21:30

😂 Onedropbeat
You should add some more and I will see if I agree. If it includes excessive drinking and bad dancing then we match pretty well (were the wankers too aren’t we?)

Confrontational - it is very hard to change how you deal with conflict when you were raised in a rough place, went to a rough school etc.

A bad gossip, not with a friends secret, but if its kicking off in the street il be on the doorstep Blush

People say I can be cold, hard faced but I dont actually mean to be. People I'm close to know they can pick up the phone anytime.

RJnomore1 · 08/12/2020 21:43

I strongly suspect my ideas are always better than yours but I’m often able to charm you into not noticing. I procrastinate terribly. I’m bone idle but manage to make it look like I’m superwoman.

On the other hand I like almost everyone you have to with pretty hard to get me to dislike you. Once I do that's you for life though.

BadEyeBri · 08/12/2020 21:48

I'm hard and a bit cold. I have quite a high opinion of myself and slip easily in to being patronising if I'm not careful. I also have a fearful bad temper. I try to keep myself on a tight rein because I know that, unchecked, I would be intolerable.
I sound a fecking delight don't I? At least I'm fairly self aware 😆

Peanutbutterblood · 08/12/2020 21:52

Im a massive flirt, I dont think I'd bother going to work if I couldnt find someone to flirt with to entertain me 🙈

frumpety · 08/12/2020 21:57

I am very easily distracted.

JudyGemstone · 08/12/2020 22:04

Oh god where do I start!

Aloof
Superior
A know it all
Intolerant of 'weakness' in others
Selfish
Narcissistic
Drinks too much
Smokes too much weed
Lazy
Assertive to the point of rudeness

On the plus side - self aware! 😬

Therainisback · 08/12/2020 22:15

Apparently the fact that I say Father Christmas not SantaGrin

MushMonster · 08/12/2020 22:20

Lazy with housework, I just leave it till the last minute or tomorrow.
Highly-strung when something goes wrong.
Can keep a grudge forever- as previous poster, it is not hate/ anger, not even a feeling. But if someones does something that clearly shows me they want to hurt me or my family, or they have no respect for us, I will fully disengage from them, forever, in a heart bit, whoever they are.
Interrups people in a conversation.

originalusernamefail · 08/12/2020 22:27

Fat. Lazy. Want everything 5 minutes ago. I'm a peach aren't I Grin

ghostmous3 · 08/12/2020 23:24

Jealousy and over sensitive Sad

lunalulu · 08/12/2020 23:29

I'm too nice.

Thenumberofrebels · 08/12/2020 23:42

Far too critical, procrastinate, catastrophise constantly, bit invisible and yet when anyone listens I can't seem to shut up 😩, always have to be right. Urgh..

slavetothenhs · 09/12/2020 06:54

I like to think I'm always right, until I'm not, and then I don't take criticism well. Secretly revel in it when I give people advice that they don't take and then things go tits up for them.

I'm endlessly cynical.

Hellotheresweet · 09/12/2020 07:02

@lunalulu

I'm too nice.
I doubt it.

I reckon it’s more a case of “an inflated sense of my own goodness”

AndAllOurYesterdays · 09/12/2020 07:16

I'm quite emotionally closed. I find it hard to make friends. People find it hard to see when I'm struggling and then I resent them for not knowing.

DazzlePaintedBattlePants · 09/12/2020 07:25

I judge the fuck out of people.

alliejay81 · 09/12/2020 08:18

I read somewhere that our strengths and weaknesses are two sides of the same coin. So when thinking about my own weaknesses I like to think about them in that context.

I'm very passionate and driven / I tend to think my way is best and hate when people challenge this

I have very high standards / I expect others to live up to my very high standards

I'm innovative and good at problem solving / I'm very disorganised

I love taking on difficult and new things / I hate and avoid boring tasks (such as admin)

I don't depend on other people for validation/ I'm not as self aware as I could be

I have a strong sense of justice / I can be a little bit judgmental of others (I try hard not to be but covid doesn't help on this one!!)

I have highly developed reasoning skills / I'll ignore "made up" guidance and rules (I do follow the covid rules as they mostly broadly make sense at a population level even if they are contradictory and helpful at an individual level)

I'm increasingly impatient (no positive to this, I've just got less resilient and hence less patient as the pandemic has gone on!)

frumpety · 09/12/2020 09:21

Hate confrontation, so will go out of my way to avoid an argument.

However, I am not the leastest little bit bothered by people shouting or screaming at me or around me, they can stand inches away from me and act violently around me and I can remain detached, it doesn't trigger fear or anger or any emotion really.

CatRamsey · 09/12/2020 09:28

I'm vile, repulsive, repugnant, and disgusting. The actual ugliest person on the planet. Truly abhorrent.

grey12 · 09/12/2020 09:35

I'm terrible keeping in touch with people SadSadSad has messed up many friendships
