What are your WORST qualities?

Not sure anyone can accurately assess their own worst or best qualities.

For one thing what is your worst quality to you, (perhaps because parents, teachers and siblings frequently complained about them) might be your best to someone else.

For another some supposedly 'bad' qualities can have positive aspects. After all what is persistence but stubbornness applied to achieve a good outcome? People complain about the complaints of others while rationalizing our own. But the truth is that learning when, where, how and to whom you can effectively complain is an important and useful tool in life.

I'm impatient with certain kinds of people in certain situations. My 'temper' is much more focused, and controlled/quieter these days but that's actually bad news for those who ignite it--so they would see it as a bad quality.

Everybody likely has their own ideas or you could ask my ex-husbands, but you'll need a medium to contact two of the three.

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.

Me too! I hide it too well. But I guess that's survival. My mind can be a whirl of complete negativity if I am stressed at work and goes on for hours. All while I function normally on the outside.

I also self-deprecate and call myself names and tell myself I'm a bad person almost every day.

I am wary of making close connections, that's a problem because I really do want human closeness.(yea, I'm a hot mess).
Am a procrastinator when it comes to some tasks....pretty much OCD at other times
In case you're beginning to suspect- I'm a Gemini , go figure.
I can be controlling, but yet quite content to let others lead.
I can be critical, but yet understanding and compassionate(Gemini!).
Hard-headed one moment...wishy washy the next. 🤔

My best friend is a Gemini and so are two of my other good friends. My favorite aunt was a Gemini. My husband was a Gemini and we got along like a house on fire! 🔥🧯🏡 😁 Gemini's are a piece of cake. 😉

For years I have avoided controversy. Always kept things inside til my stomach would get upset and I couldn’t sleep. Much better since I retired and have a heck of a lot more patience.

I'm similar. I don't like conflict and find it's usually better not to stick up for myself. Maybe some people think they got the last work and smugly the best of me, but in fact I knew exactly what was going on, I just didn't say anything. Like this one horrid former co-worker.

I'm a Gemini also. I've never known if it really means anything.
 
~I'm a procrastinator, especially when it comes to things I hate doing. Though not as bad as I used to be, I still need improvement. I read this is a common trait for those of us with ADD.
~Sometimes I interrupt people when they are talking. Another thing I'm trying to improve but there are two reasons for this. I found out that it's another common ADD trait. Another reason is...and I usually explain this...is that if I don't say it when it comes to mind, I'll forget. Those closest to me understand and are patient with me.
~Sometimes I'm lazy.
~I tend to take more time planning than I do..doing, at times.

I also have OCD but I don't consider it a "worst" trait. I used to be a germaphobe until the kitten came into our lives. Boy did I do a 180 on that one! 😋
 
I'm a slim short 5'6" Caucasian male. Being small doesn't bother me but it seems to bother some others. Learned as a teenager in that era decades ago, that young gals strongly disliked dancing with unknown short guys in group settings as it greatly embarrasses them. Same thing as young twentysomething in bars and clubs. So I avoided partner dancing, my worst quality. :ROFLMAO:

I'm irritable. People and things get on my nerves. I try not to show it. I'm getting better at that.

I'm a lousy housekeeper. Apparently you have found that elusive silent vacuum @dseag2 if you vacuum daily. 🤣 My cats would not be amused.

I procrastinate. I could be doing something more useful, more often. I'm trying to work on that. Did some useless crafting today and started two books.

No, I only vacuum in the kitchen and family room area where the cats track litter. They both go to the living room as soon as they hear me open the closet door where the vacuum is located, then they settle back in when I'm finished. :ROFLMAO:
 
Hate tailgating,my former long fuse is long gone,I'm impatient in all situations,I'm opinionated,like Katelupe,I hate social situations and always look for an "out",funny because we live in the same building,I guess they won't be asking us to organize anything Katie😀
I've finally embraced my inner introvert and love my alone time with my Kindle and kitties.

My mother was a Gemini. We always said we never knew what we would get from her from one moment to the next. She was cooking dinner for me and asking me how my day at school was one moment, then hitting me on the backside with a hairbrush the next!

I'm very nervous as well. If someone makes a loud noise behind me or drops weights at the gym I literally lose a step. My leg shakes constantly. I've asked in the forum previously how I can calm down and enjoy a massage when my mind is constantly racing. You're not alone!

Do you do it like Jessica Kirson? Excuse the language, but she is so funny when she turns around and talks to herself. :ROFLMAO:
