Tell me about a negative trait you have

**Zhaylin** · 04-12-2009 10:45 PM

It can be physical or not.

Maybe I forgot my meds for a couple of days, or maybe I'm just uncharacteristically pessimistic. But I've been dwelling on the past these last couple days and I would say, ironically, the one trait of mine that I do not like is my likability.

My mom ran into an old boyfriend. In fact, my first "true love". He supposedly said he's never married because he's never been able to find anyone like me.
His mom told me the same thing when I hunted him down 10 years ago. Everyone thought we would end up together.

I make a good impression on practically everyone I meet. But I've told people, time and time again, that I am NOT a good person. But no one believes me and then they're shocked whenever I'm human and act less than perfectly.
I guess that's the main reason I keep myself distanced from others and fail to maintain lasting friendships. Sooner or later I let everyone down.

So, what about y'all? What is it about yourselves that you don't like or would like to change?

**Edit**
WOOT! Thanks for explaining how to edit the title!

**Reality_is_a_Dream** · 04-12-2009 11:20 PM

Press 'EDIT' and then hit 'GO ADVANCED' and change the title.

Then change it to something completely different, so this doesn't get locked

**Zhaylin** · 04-13-2009 01:04 AM

Why would it get locked?
I thought to make a thread the opposite of a similar thread.

I'm open to suggestions though. And thank you for the explanation on changing my topic name

**Reality_is_a_Dream** · 04-13-2009 01:08 AM

Oh, I am sorry. I thought it was the same as the other one.

Like one of those people who join and immediatly start a 'rate the avatar above you' thread without even looking at other things/

Again, I'm sorry. And the title is fixed!

A negative trail? Well, I don't really care for trail mix.

Trail mix is awesome. D:

Braces, I'm rather introverted, my arms are thin to the point of fear for my own health, I have huge lips, and an even bigger forehead.

I had my braces removed last year. 3/4 of the remaining things apply to me as well. Bit creepy

Hmm. Getting them off in about a month or so.

**Reality_is_a_Dream** · 04-13-2009 04:22 AM

Haha, I am still waiting like a year and a few months on mine.

I have a blod clot below my right eye (your left if you look at me), so it is like the remenants a black eye that never goes away. It is mostly gone, but it swells up in the cold. So I have that.

**Kiza** · 04-13-2009 05:01 AM

I have the negative trait of liking braces-wearing, introverted, thin-armed, huge-lipped, enormous-foreheaded freaks.

EDIT: Also, how did you screw up the title so much? T and L are on opposite sides of the keyboard!

That's most freshmen.

I don't think I have a trait I consider negative. There's room for improvement, always, but that doesn't mean that my current characteristics are something to look down upon. I am myself, and I rather like myself.

Aye, this. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't mind that pimple gone. ;D

**Zhaylin** · 04-13-2009 07:58 PM

lol I love trail mix... maybe I was hungry and my typo was my subconscious breaking through

I honestly have NO idea how I screwed up the title so badly

I like high foreheads- to me, it's a sign of intelligence. My mom tried to give me a complex about my high forehead by insisting I always wear bangs, and when I was a kid my high forehead did bug me a little, but when I moved out I came to love it

I never had to worry about braces or pimples when I was a teen, but I had friends that did. I always thought they made it a bigger deal than it really was and that most people didn't even notice or care.
I had to wear a knee brace in middle school though, but because people called me "Robo-girl" and it clinked so much when I walked, I took it off the second I got to school and hid it in my locker. And now I have knee problems

I'm so lazy, it's near apathy sometimes. I just don't give a damn...

**Thom Capulet** · 04-13-2009 10:41 PM

Im sociopathic at times. Im always depressed and could care less about anothers problems. Mostly because I dont know how to care. From a little kid ive been so pent up(3rd grade) because of negative things happening to me and I was ALWAYS sad. And now it is a bit of a downfall always being so negative on life.

**music_man** · 04-13-2009 10:50 PM

Hm I kind of judge too much..well i dont really like to call it judging haha...but I just assume things too easily I guess. Like if I was going to tell someone something I would probably say something like "Oh, well they would just say this, or this so I might as well just not say it" or something like that...I guess I just act like I know people too well?...

And I'm EXTREMELY lazy haha

**Odd_Nonposter** · 04-14-2009 12:34 AM

I can tell that this thread will get depressing pretty quick....

**grasshoppa** · 04-14-2009 12:43 AM

Yeah, I read this to make myself feel better.

**Odd_Nonposter** · 04-14-2009 02:39 AM

Okay, it's time for mine. I'll break it down into categories:

Physical: I carry all of my fat in my stomach. Mind you, I'm 6' 170-180 lbs, so I'm not really overweight.

Behavioral: I procrastinate. It's the American way. I also still suck my thumb when alone.

Social: I'm an introvert. I've been known to read at the lunch table while everybody else is having fun making small talk. I don't really see the point behind it.

There's probably more, but I'm not gonna list them all.
