This is me as well

I withdraw when I'm upset rather than just coming out with what's bothering me.
Not the silent treatment or anything, just struggle to speak up , I must come across as moody.

Arlanymor · 23/05/2024 20:44

Procrastination, hands down.

Blackcats7 · 23/05/2024 20:49

At the risk of sounding like Paula Vennells I am too trusting and it has bitten me on the arse several times.
I have also always been useless at holding a grudge (where a grudge is hugely deserved, not small things) and I have to remind myself to hold the line and maintain my boundaries.

MoonWoman69 · 23/05/2024 20:53

Definitely a procrastinator, lazy, no time for bullshit and totally intolerant, mainly of people!
I also have a habit where I can't hide what I'm thinking from my own face! 🙄
In my younger years, actually, probably up until my mid to late 30's, I used to be a total walkover and would never challenge anyone over anything! Now, I'm the complete opposite, if I have a question or something to say to someone, I'm on it! Life is too short!

Paintedhat · 23/05/2024 20:55

All of the above.

paristotokyo · 23/05/2024 20:56

I procrastinate too much and I'm very sensitive. Find it hard to focus on tasks sometimes. I also have a tendency to be pessimistic (usually directed at myself). I like my environment to be just so and any change can knock me and my mood will suffer. Only my husband really sees this side of me though, poor guy Grin wish I was easy breezy like him but we're just different. I do also have good traits too... :) so just for balance, I forgive very easily, am very loving and kind. People comment that I am warm and smile easily.

jlox · 23/05/2024 20:56

Omg i am a complete doormat / pushover. Could spit on my dinner and stab me in the neck and ill say sorry, leave a tip and clean up the mess 😂😭 also cannot hold a well deserved grudge either, often accept apologies i didnt even get 🤷🏻‍♀️

Irritability.

However the bliss of WFH is that I can shout "FFS you twat" loudly and the cat just looks at me eyes half open in acknowledgment and goes back to sleep. She won't put me through the wringer for that 🤣

StirlingMallory · 23/05/2024 21:00

Procrastin ... I'll tell you later.

Lilacwall · 23/05/2024 21:00

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.

Omg this is me. I hate myself, always have to be right, i catch myself feeling all pleased with myself when I'm right and then think what a tosser I must look.

BobbyBiscuits · 23/05/2024 21:01

Lack of self esteem
Impatience
Victim mentality
Emotional instability
Addiction

Apart from that I'm perfect, lol.

LemonzandLimez · 23/05/2024 21:02

I talk over people, absolutely non intentional and when I'm doing it I tell myself to STOP but it's like I have no control Confused

caringcarer · 23/05/2024 21:02

I get impatient especially with those who can't make their mind up.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 23/05/2024 21:04

sheoaouhra · 23/05/2024 19:44

a tendency to fritter away hours uselessly flicking through Mumsnet

Same here!

Emmylou22 · 23/05/2024 21:06

I act on impulse and jump to conclusions very quickly. And I overshare. And I can be pretty vindictive if pushed. Christ, this has opened a can of worms

FoxtrotOscarFoxtrotOscar · 23/05/2024 21:11

I give unsolicited advice.

Thevelvelletes · 23/05/2024 21:14

If I think your fucking with me,I will shut it down without any qualms.

abracadabra1980 · 23/05/2024 21:18

Procrastination and not really caring about it, apart from annoying myself, on a daily basis.

mountaingoatsarehairy · 23/05/2024 21:19

I really enjoy winding people up and being a troll, but pretending it’s not that bad and I didn’t mean it (but I did). I don’t care that people don’t like me on the back off of that.

I flirt and make poor sad blokes like me so they do stuff for me at work.

I am quite happy to have a shouting match if someone has pissed me off.

I like called people ‘cunt’ if I can.

I work in the city in London so most of my colleagues are wankers so it’s fine.

all you doormats should pay me for lessons !

MissingMoominMamma · 23/05/2024 21:22

When I’m frustrated because someone has treated me unjustly, I can’t stop myself from crying. I don’t just cry though, I sob and I can’t get my words out.

It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, I can’t control it,

waltzingparrot · 23/05/2024 21:22

I finish off other people's sentences for them. Can't help myself - but I just know what they're going to say.

DisgruntledPelican · 23/05/2024 21:23

Moodiness. If I’m pissed off, everyone knows about it

OrangeLemonLime24 · 23/05/2024 21:26

I talk too much.
I don’t ask other people about themselves enough.
I think I’m hilarious (how frequently my funny quips on the class WhatsApp group get ignored by everyone else suggest otherwise! 😆)

LeaveTheClocksAlone · 23/05/2024 21:28

My misophonia has turned me into a truly horrible person
