everyone tells me I have too much energy... they all tell me to slow down.. but I don't understand why it's a negative..Too much energy...biting off more than I can chew...impatience!

That's not a "quality" though, it's an emotional reaction to a stressor. It's a survival skill and it keeps you alive. I do brave things also out of blind fear. If people only knew.I'm a nervous wreck and I can't calm down. My outer body shakes and so does my insides. I can hide it pretty good some of the time, but not all of the time. I get impatient fast, waiting makes me nuts. I do brave things, but mostly out of fear. Nervous wreck, that's me.
That's one definition of Courage!That's not a "quality" though, it's an emotional reaction to a stressor. It's a survival skill and it keeps you alive. I do brave things also out of blind fear. If people only knew.![]()
Bravery is not the absence of fear, it's taking action despite the fear.I do brave things, but mostly out of fear.
Ha! I do that...definitely impatience! Remember years back, all those full, abandoned shopping carts, near the checkout counters in the supermarkets? They were probably all mine.
So if you were living in NY, you wouldn't 'jump off the Brooklyn Bridge' because 'all your friends' were doing it? LOLI'm a rebel and have always been one. That means I think for myself and do not automatically follow the sheep to whatever status quo is out there. I really hate having anything "shoved down my throat."
I often do, on longer highway trips I set my cruise control for 5 or so mph above the limit. Not a terrible quality though.I always drive above the speed limit
I am the opposite, too spontaneous and often lack planning...Lack of spontaneity, has to be planned, planned and planned some more.
I've always believed the "Perfect is the enemy of good" thing. Have not always practiced it though.I'm a perfectionist. Sometimes I annoy myself
Always suspected that of you! LOLGosh, I have so few negative qualities.
I think tolerance is a good thing, it lets you see the good in a less than perfect person, and keeps the peace, usually best. I like your last line, we really can't change others much, particularly jerks. I have always found just avoiding them best.Mine is I tolerate too much that I shouldn't.. but from my viewpoint/experiences the reason it's such a bad characteristic is it gives people the wrong ideas.... if someone's a jerk they're a jerk and nothing I can say/do will make a difference.
Sound like a very good trait to me, nothing negative there. I suspect Pinky is a very kind, and wise lady.I'm very laid-back, so people try to take advantage because of it. They find out the error of their ways soon enough. I am tolerant to a degree - then, watch out!
It is very much a positive. I like high energy people, my negative is that I can't always keep up. Still love being around high energy, maybe hoping some will rub off on me.everyone tells me I have too much energy... they all tell me to slow down.. but I don't understand why it's a negative.
Aren't we all, or most of us anyway. It's those who aren't that worry me.I am also my own worst critic.
TMIWhat are your WORST qualities?
Worst qualities?
Worst qualities?
How dare you!!!
I don't have Worst qualities, I only do what everyone does, I regularly pick my nose, fart in lifts/elevators the moment the doors close, and play Moon River by Andy Williams as loud as my ghetto blaster will go, just to entertain the neighbours who all hate the recording.
Worst qualities indeed, HA!!![]()
I see none! Except maybe that you waste too much time with the likes of us...Guess? You've known me in this forum for over two years. What do you think?

I am just being kind.I see none! Except maybe that you waste too much time with the likes of us...
