View Full Version : What Are Your Best And Worst Character Traits
Nighthawk76 02-17-2008, 07:27 PM My best traits:
1. I am carring and considerate of others.
2. I donate money to charities and don't spend it all on myself.
3. I don't swear often.
4. I don't hold grudges. I can't think of anyone right now that I am angry with. I try to forgive people who have offended me because I don't want the feelings of hate and anger in my heart. I also think to forgive is the action of a good Christian...which, is something I am trying very hard to be.
My worst traits:
1. Instead of dealing with my problems, I too often run from them.
2. I am sometimes too self-centered and don't always take into account that the world doesn't revolve around me.
3. I go way, WAY overboard with girls that I like. I did it a year ago and now again this year. Sending someone five emails in a week isn't romantic, it is creepy...we're talking Glenn Close/Fatal Attraction here. :eek:
4. I am too hard on myself.
phoebe7165 02-17-2008, 07:48 PM Best:
I'm way too generous. Whenever I decide to give a gift, it's not just 1 gift, I have to get 1 or 2 smaller gifts.
I am considerate when it comes to animals(but I have to work on the humans - that would be in my worse traits!!):lol:
I also donate to charities - the Food Bank, Rescue Mission, ASPCA, etc.
I also don't hold grudges. This was something that I got from my mom because she holds grudges ALL THE TIME and I vowed I would never be like that. It's like get over it!!
I am very independent. I don't need a man to support me, and it irks me the women who feel they always need a man in their life.
Worst:
Unfortunately, I have a very bad temper and I wish I didn't. I haven't gotten in trouble because of it but I have broken things in anger.
I tend to be critical, especially towards my sister. I don't know why I am because she's a great person.
I swear way too much, especially when I'm mad.
While I keep most of my house clean, my bedroom needs a major cleaning. It's a "bit" cluttered.
Courtnee 02-17-2008, 07:49 PM Best:
1. I'm very caring and motherly.
2. I'm really good at getting things done on time.
3. I'm very friendly.
Worst:
1. I can be too hard on myself and others.
2. I can be a little lazy.
3. I can be a little needy.
4. I'm messy.
I'm sure that there are more that can be added to both lists, but I can't think of any. I'll edit later if I think of some more.
Hollow 02-17-2008, 08:06 PM best:
i was never the way teenagers always seem to be. eg, i didn't have a ****ty attitude, rebel against authority, disrespect others for no reason, live by my own rules thinking i was always right, judge people, etc.
worst:
i'm extremely insecure and dependent. this is the root of a lot of problems, but it all comes down to that.
i'm lazy.
i'm "maniacally depressed" as i've been described.
i live in the past.
i don't forgive or forget.
i love to hate.
i don't deal with my problems in proper ways.
and i don't care enough to change any of this.
*ClassicPinUp* 02-17-2008, 09:04 PM Best;
1)I'm a very loving person
2)I keep a clean home, and can cook
3)I'm trustworthy and loyal
4)I give to charities and work with the troops whenever possible.
5)I've managed to stay strong in who I am when others around me seem to have fallen.
6)I stand strong in my beliefs of no drugs, no drinking (by that I mean crazy, hard 24/7 partying & drinking. I've never been drunk but I do enjoy an occasional glass of red/white wine and Strawberry Daiquiris... you can't pry that out of my hands :lol:) and no sex (before marriage) and have a wonderful guy who believes the same. (my dad thinks that is the best one ;) :lol:) And that's not always easy when you're 20!
7)I'm a very determined person.
8)I always look on the bright side of things... even when there doesn't seem to be one.
Worst;
1)I have patience with EVERYONE but myself.
2)I worry to much.
3)I hold grudges (I blame it on being Italian) but I'm slowly working on that.
4)I'm overprotective of my family and those I love.
5)I sometimes forget to stop complaining about simple things (work, friend drama etc.) and just stop, sit down, look around and realize...how truly blessed I am. -I'm quickly correcting that one-
Number 9 Dream 02-17-2008, 10:09 PM Best:
- I have a very big heart. In fact, I tend to care way too much about things.
- I'm a very loyal friend. Once you have earned my complete trust, you're considered my friend for life. I'll only *stop* being your friend if you severely betray me in some way.
- I'm very generous...what can I say...I love making people happy :)
- I'm very intuitive--this has helped me out a lot. I just seem to have an innate sense about people, situations, etc.
Worst:
- I have very little confidence in myself.
- I tend to be very anti-social around new people
- I'm way too lazy (I procrastinate like a mofo!)
- I tend to be very selective in the people I choose to hang around. I know, I know...sounds a bit snobby, right? I'm just sick of the same types of people that have burned me in the past, so I'm more leery now when it comes to making new friends.
- I also avoid my problems. Instead of facing it head on, I'll most likely avoid it completely or deal with it in a very passive-aggressive way.
- I have very little common sense when it comes to doing things that I should know how to do. For instance, I didn't know how to use a tape measurer when I was helping out with the school play today....talk about embarrassing.
That's all for now...I'm sure I'll think of more later :)

I tend to avoid problmes too. When things get tough, I get going. I probably run from problems because deep down I'm afraid that if I take time to examine a problem, I might discover something about myself that is less than attractive. Which is exactly what happened to me this past week.
Nighthawk76 02-18-2008, 12:32 AM Mike, none of us are perfect; just remember your good qualities; and it takes someone with a lot of dignity to admit their mistakes and try to improve one's self...I am very proud of you...:)
I know a lot about the fatal attraction part..ha ha, trust me, I was once very much attracted to this man, and I went to see his band, like every month (like a total ass clown) I am sure that I made a fool out of myself; but when I realized, how why am I doing this? where is my pride?, that is when I decided to move on and try to fall in love with myself, again; it really happens to the best of us and it is also a learning experience:)
Thanks, Tara. :)
dawsongirl 02-18-2008, 03:46 AM Best:
Kids like me.
I am willing to go above and beyond at my job when others won't.
Worst:
I have ZERO self-esteem (hence the short best list). Yet at the same time, I can have an ego. I think it's more of a defense mechanism though).
I don't trust anyone.
I put myself down a lot.
I'm a perfectionist and am way too hard on myself.
No one seems to really like me; they simply tolerate me. So my personality must be horrible.
I'm a loner.
I'm depressed, and thus very self-centered at times.
I swear too much.
I can never seem to do anything right.
I hold grudges.
I can be bigoted.
I live in a dream world.
Max Whittaker 02-18-2008, 03:53 AM I live in a dream world.
Let's just put that in the "best category", shall we? The "real world" doesn't actually exist. I know. I've been to both worlds.
Dean Winchester 02-18-2008, 04:38 AM My worst traits:
3. I go way, WAY overboard with girls that I like. I did it a year ago and now again this year. Sending someone five emails in a week isn't romantic, it is creepy...we're talking Glenn Close/Fatal Attraction here. :eek:
five a week doesn't sound too bad, it's like you're corresponding once a day. Five a day would be too much tho.
And sadly, I am like that too, I go overboard and beocme clingy and that scares people off, I've been working on it with time tho.
Best Traits:
Kind to people & animals
A fairly good sense of humor
Always pitching in to help
Hard working
Worst Traits:
Very Impatient
Cuss a little too much when mad
Ask way too many questions (according to hubby)
Go overboard on things (exp: buying gifts, making candy, sending emails, etc.)

I'm not the most trusting person in the the world, either. Infact, I've been hurt by so many people in the past, I almost expect it to happen now. This usually results in me being overly defensive and taking things too personally...never good personality traits.
I like you alot, Cathy. I like how you speak your mind. There are no lies with you. Also, you are a one of a kind person who doesn't try to be like others. I like that alot about you too.
I go through periods of depression to. And when I go through these periods, I become very self-centered as well.
I sort of live in a dream world too. But as John Lennon once said, "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." :)
Nighthawk76 02-18-2008, 07:30 PM And sadly, I am like that too, I go overboard and beocme clingy and that scares people off, I've been working on it with time tho.
Same thing with me, John. I'm an expert on clingy and you're right, that does scare people off. I don't act this way because I'm a bad person though, I guess I do it because I want to be liked. It is something I'm working on too.

I don't know you but have you ever thought of yourself as humble?

I used to be that way with this guy I had a crush on. It's like I was trying to remind him I was still there. And because he turned out to be a total piece of human trash, he treated me like **** because of it. I felt like committing suicide at the time because of it, but it did teach me a very valuable lesson. And I no longer act too clingy and possessive.
OH Nuts! 02-19-2008, 01:09 AM my best is that I really enjoy meeting people and am a people person; I'm also somewhat creative
my worst is that I can be impatient and HATE waiting on lines
Legacy4ever 02-19-2008, 02:54 PM Best Qualities
1. Im a funny guy, if theres a problem your having spending time with me will lighten your day.
2. I have a strong sense of loyalty to friends, I try to make everyone feel welcomed when with me.
3. I cant let see someone else in trouble and not feel the need to help.
4. I am honest only to few people, and most times those people wish I wasnt all that honest. Go figure.
5. I will trust you honestly as a friend from the moment I meet you until you do something to change judgement.
Worst Qualities
1. Im extremely, extremely stubborn. Usually because life has taught me to trust my own instincts 9 times out of 10.
2. I Have trouble of focusing on which goals in my life are important and which are meant to be let go.
3. I rarely get angry, but its not a good thing when I do.
4. I have a heard time moving on completely from things, part in thank to me being stubborn.
5. I am both too forgiving 2 those who dont deserve it, and at the same time I am to harsh on those who do not deserve it.
InspectorExstead 02-19-2008, 05:41 PM 5. I am both too forgiving 2 those who dont deserve it, and at the same time I am to harsh on those who do not deserve it.
i'm like that too. i think it's because i expect more from people who are closer to me. so when they do something that hurts me, it REALLY hurts me. as opposed to someone who's just an acquaintance or a friend who i'm not as close to.

Thats funny.. Because thats exactly it.. I could care less if I dont put my trust in you, but those that are close to me are close for that reason.. I expect so much more from them.. So simple dismissals are not always an option.. But sometimes making a big deal out of it makes things worst between me and them.. Thats why I consider it a worst quality

yep, it can definitely create serious problems/tension. but if it's a true & good friendship, you guys can both grow from it & just view it as a learning experience. and then both people can make sure to never make the same mistake again.
waichingliu81 02-21-2008, 04:49 PM best qualities
i am caring, friendly, honest, supportive and down to earth
i don't judge people in terms of their colour, age etc
often i say things that people find funny, which is a compliment because i don't consider myself as a practical joker
i am very practical and creative and so one of my strengths is my artistic abilities in drawing for example
i always do things to the best of my ability
i'll always offer advice and encouragement to those who need it most and those who treat me with respect
worst qualities
i let people walk all over me and let them have the last laugh
i used to be very clingy and needy and thus people would get pissed off. i've stopped doing that altogther
i expected people to like me as a person by impressing them- i've realised that the only person i have to prove a point to is... well no one. i don't need to prove anything to myself or anyone. i just need to be me and by means of which not be a total arse
i do tend to get bored or depressed very easily if i am feeling in a terrible mood or when i don't do anything
i am a terrible liar
Mikado 02-21-2008, 07:51 PM you and i have a lot in common there, Wai! (in both categories)
dawsongirl 02-21-2008, 11:01 PM i do tend to get bored or depressed very easily if i am feeling in a terrible mood or when i don't do anything
I get very depressed when I get bored too.
waichingliu81 02-22-2008, 11:21 AM I get very depressed when I get bored too.
it just does my head in and i just cannot stand it. the important thing is to always feel positive about ones self and do the things that give you pleasure out of life. otherwise, not only will you get bored, you'll also be wasting your time as well
