Re: Wacky Wednesday

  • 1) What is one aspect of your personality you would change, if you could? I'd be more outgoing.  I'm having to attend a series of networking activities at work, and while some people genuinely enjoy them I'd rather stick a pen in my eye, and I am sure others can tell.

    2) What do you think is your best personality trait?  Probably my ability to think quickly on my feet.  I'm pretty good in a crisis.

    3) What is one personality trait you could not tolerate in a partner?  Dishonesty.  H and I were talking about some friends having issues yesterday, and how he tells her little white lies all day long.  Like he'll be at our house watching a soccer game and she'll call asking what time he will be home, and he'll say he's on his way, then sit down and not leave for an hour.  That would not only drive me insane, but would also make me not trust anything he said, innocent or not.

  • 1) What is one aspect of your personality you would change, if you could? I can get angry pretty quickly.  I try to work on that and am getting much better.

    2) What do you think is your best personality trait? I'm a very giving person.  If I have extra money, chances are I'll use it to buy a present for someone else.  The downside is that I do not remember the last time I bought something for me. 

    3) What is one personality trait you could not tolerate in a partner? Oh there's a few.  Dishonesty is huge.  And lack of time management is big too.  I hate waiting around for people.

    1) What is one aspect of your personality you would change, if you could? My temper. Which ties into my inability, when angry, to think before I speak. I blame it on my Cuban genes. When I get angry it is ON. On the same token, I'm usually all angered out in 10 minutes.

    2) What do you think is your best personality trait?  I like everyone, all you need to do is be nice to me and we B KOOL.

    3) What is one personality trait you could not tolerate in a partner? Definitely dishonesty, but I also can't stand self-righteousness. Such a turn off.

  • 1) What is one aspect of your personality you would change, if you could?  I can be rather socially-awkward, especially in a group setting.

    2) What do you think is your best personality trait?  I think I am very forgiving and empathetic.

    3) What is one personality trait you could not tolerate in a partner?  Dishonesty, for sure. Perhaps apathy. I like to be with someone who is passionate about things.

  • 1) What is one aspect of your personality you would change, if you could? I'd be more extroverted. Case in point, at my sister's wedding DH was up and around and mingling and meeting people, having the time of his life while I was content sitting at the table watching the dancing and chatting with just the few people at the table. He came over to me and asked, "Aren't you going to meet anyone? This is literally the only time you're ever going to see some of these people. Don't you want to get to know them?" And I responded that it was too much work/energy to meet people I'll only see one time ever.

    2) What do you think is your best personality trait? It's a double edged sword. I'm super trusting and friendly which is great for other people but has burned me in the past.

    3) What is one personality trait you could not tolerate in a partner? Abusive tendencies (any and all, not just physical).

    1) What is one aspect of your personality you would change, if you could? I have a temper. I don't know how easy it'll be to change that, but I'd like to be able to control it better and be able to wait until I have a clearer head to react to whatever is making me angry.

    2) What do you think is your best personality trait? I am a genuinely caring person. I work in a non-profit that provides free or low low cost mental health care/psychotherapy; I want to one day own a non-profit similar in my hometown; I want to help people. The downside is I definitely feel like I get taken advantage of a lot. If someone needs help with anything, I have a hard time saying no.

    3) What is one personality trait you could not tolerate in a partner? Dishonesty. Disloyalty. I don't want to have to wonder if what I'm told is the truth or if I can depend on my partner.

  • 1) What is one aspect of your personality you would change, if you could?
    I am impatient. I would much rather do something myself than take the time to show someone else how to do it. Lord help you if you make the same mistake twice.

    2) What do you think is your best personality trait? I am calm under pressure. I don't panic at the site of blood or when my patient loses a pulse and I can troubleshoot something with a clear head.
    3) What is one personality trait you could not tolerate in a partner? I agree with disloyalty and dishonesty. I abhor people who lie.

    2) What do you think is your best personality trait? I like to think I'm a kind person

    3) What is one personality trait you could not tolerate in a partner? Vanity
