Are you on the 4th step?

MySocksAreDotty · 23/05/2024 19:43

I wasn’t always like this, but atm I’m pretty negative and I’m just braced for the world to shit on me.

Not sure what to do about it. Gratitude hasn’t worked and the Dr won’t give me HRT 🫣

No 😂 just a cry baby

a tendency to fritter away hours uselessly flicking through Mumsnet

mondaytosunday · 23/05/2024 19:44

Laziness.

Andywarholswig · 23/05/2024 19:45

I’m really greedy, I love eating. I would love to be less obsessed with food.

mybeesarealive · 23/05/2024 19:45

I used not to listen to others. Too busy speaking my mind. I'm trying though.

Laziness.

Same.

Thighdentitycrisis · 23/05/2024 19:46

I interrupt all the time

isthatagoat · 23/05/2024 19:47

I'm waaaay too anxious. I wish I could be more relaxed. I try so hard and envy people who are super easygoing!

jlox · 23/05/2024 19:47

Im obsessive too. Cant do anything just a little bit.

Procrastination.

Muffin101 · 23/05/2024 19:49

I am very confident, which is great, but I think it can verge of arrogance at times.

Thighdentitycrisis · 23/05/2024 19:49

And I’m arrogant

Gall10 · 23/05/2024 19:50

My best & worst trait is the fact I’m always right 🤣

InterstellarDrifter · 23/05/2024 20:25

I'm a procrastinator and a snacker when I procrastinate. I really hate it.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 23/05/2024 20:27

Too opionated and can be a bit gossipy and bitchy at work.

loropianalover · 23/05/2024 20:28

I don’t maintain friendships and can be cold with people.

StripedPiggy · 23/05/2024 20:30

Selfishness, misanthropy, impatience, grumpiness, laziness, unsociability. Probably a bit of arrogance, too, in that I tend to start with the basic assumption that most people are idiots. Very occasionally, they prove me wrong.

Ihopeithinkiknow · 23/05/2024 20:30

I'm very argumentative lol not in an aggressive way but I like to go into the details of what people mean when they say certain things and apparently I have an answer for everything according to anyone I have ever met.

UsherConfesssesAll · 23/05/2024 20:30

I worry too much about situations in the future. Really mundane, inconsequential situations though like whether the hairdresser will be pissed off with me rearranging my appointment. These situations usually don't remotely play out in the ways I've been worrying about so it's a fucking giant waste of my time and energy.

Paradoxically I don't give a fuck or worry about "big", consequential situations happening. At all. I love a good ruckus at work, or a stand-up row in Asda car park if some bastard cuts me up.

Male it make sense.

Loveriver · 23/05/2024 20:31

I'm quite intolerant.

Alalalalalongalalalalalonglonglilong · 23/05/2024 20:36

I get very irritable but I wouldn't be if everyone would just fuck off and leave me alone 😁.

I find it very very difficult to be honest and upfront. I'm working on it and improving as I age but this trait has caused me so much anxiety in my life. I'm one of those 'I don't know how to tell my sister i don't like the present' kind of people. I tie myself in knots and always feel really two faced. It comes from a place of people pleasing, I know that. I also absolutely cannot cope with the idea of someone not liking me.

Thinkbiglittleone · 23/05/2024 20:40

I appear confident and I think I am honest and offer my opinion when not asked at times, when I should maybe just nod and smile.
