bad qualities in yourself

[sidekick]

on the bus ride home today i starting thinking about all the qualities of my personality that i don't like, so i decided to make a list and share them:

1) overly competitive, to the point of making it not fun anymore
2) correcting people's grammar and spelling all the time/wanting to be right
3) easily jealous
4) neurotic, to the point of driving myself (and others) crazy sometimes
5) paranoid about a lot of things/easily anxious
6) very judgemental very quickly of people. i find myself constantly hating people just because they bumped into me on the street or are talking loudly into their phone. (however, in my defense, although my judgements of character are quick, they are easily changeable)
7) annnnnnd sometimes i know my sarcasm runs away with my sense of tact.
8) talk too much

i'm sure there are others, but those are the ones i notice most. i figure if i made a list i can work on fixing them, although it's hard to change some of those things on the inside (it's easy to fake them on the outside).

^ argued with you before (privatization/libertarianism). the list checks out.

^Me too Jake me too. But I think it also turned a lot of people off, well of me anyways.

Turns out some people don't like sarcasm. Crazy eh!?

[mapleleaf4ever]

^ Agreed, #7 is why you're funny. I'm sarcastic, you're sarcastic, we're all sarcastic together! (not so subtle reference to the Silbury Rugby Team Songs)

my mom doesn't really enjoy my sarcasm all the time. it got me in trouble a lot, i remember.

"JAKE, I DON'T LIKE THAT TONE IN YOUR VOICE!"

it took me a few years to figure out that 'tone' was actually just 'sarcasm'

Probably procrastination and my love for whiskey. I can tend to overthink things and be completely all over the place trying different things and not really buckling down on something. But i believe having perspective and knowing your faults can help you change day by day and promote focus.

[krisamata]

1. being honest and telling people exactly what i think

2. being way too sarcastic

3. being too self concious

[sidekick]

^oooh yeah, procrastination is another big one. i hate that one. i wish i was one of those people that got all their work done first and then felt all good about it.

[krisamata]

1. too political sometimes (someone might say something quite benign and i go off on it)
2. too hungry (i eat six meals a day)
