The Best And Worst Parts of You....

Due to another conversation with a mate, I got to wondering: what are the best and/or worst parts of your personality, according to others? Does this change, as you get older?

Me, I've often been called a good listener (due to empathy). The worst of lil ole me? Too much pride for my own good. And it's not changed, yet;>

Here I was trying to think of my best personality trait, and couldn't even come up with a (consistently) good one. I might go stick my head in the oven now.

I give very good advice (to the point where people call me and say "Douglas, I need you to tell me what to do so that I can regret not doing it later"). That's the good one. The bad one is that I can be a terrible bore.

Supposedly I'm nice, aw. Worst -- a lethal combination of arrogance, independence and cynicism that I can't believe doesn't drive people away screaming.

Best: I can make my friends laugh and am easy to get along with, Worst: I don't always make sense, and offer too much advice.

Best - loyal, friendly, funny to some people, kind-natured, loving.

Worst - attention-seeking to the nth degree, blunt, arrogant, jealous, lazy. I could go on, but the key one's lazy.

Best - I'm told I'm sensitive, diplomatic, thoughtful. Worst - the morbidly insecure part, and I lack initiative.

Best - entertaining personality sometimes. Good listener? Worst: the so called entertaining personality loses it charm. Over sensitive. Lack of self-confidence. Scatter brained. Selfish (not always but sometimes). Bears grudges. Dislikes people far too quickly.

Best: Self Awareness

Worst: Everything else.

Pete, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Good: I make people laugh sometimes. Generally helpful. Loving. Usually manage to smile. I think I have a good heart.

Bad: Totally misplaced sense of self confidence, clingy, total lack of life experience, incredible ability to annoy people.

I'm seriously starting to cry now.

Graham, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Best: Um, I don't know. I try to be friendly to people and I like to think I'm funny. I do have a very strong sense of fun.

Worst: It takes a lot to piss me off, but it happens I go thermonuclear and take forever to forgive the person. Also, my sense of fun is often inappropriate and offensive, but I like to think that that's part of my special charm. I'm also painfully arrogant, but I try very hard to mask that because I can't stand it in other people.

Upon reflection, I should have just cut-and-pasted Ned's answer...

Dan Perry, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Best: A tendency to happiness/cheer/optimism in the face of all odds; a natural bouyance maybe. Protective maternal instincts. Worst: Introspective to the point of self-centeredness, stubborn & contrary, lazy lazy lazy.

Pyth, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Worst: full of shit, judgmental, lazy, obnoxious, sometimes way boring Best: caring, crafty, semi-funny, loyal

My best/worst are just inversions of each other depending on numerous factors of which I'm unsure myself

So best= Infectiously enthusiastic, good humoured, mildly amusing.

Worst=Lazy, cynical, cranky, and probably downright mean.

I hate trying to describe myself, I really do.

Quite right. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

worst: keeping everything "pleasant" (believe me)
best: same

Tracer Hand, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Worst: sloth, pomposity, arrogance etc etc

Best: I've bben told that i'm quite selfless, which was sweet

owen hatherley, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

best: people have said things along the lines of "nice" and "unselfish" and "smart" but they are not true. actual best: i'm damn honest.

worst: i'm really, really moody and prone to jealousy.

Dan, tis a true test to find out about the personalities of the friends you've got: if they are as gleefully twisted as you, then you're golden;>

Even better if your friends appear innocent, as all hell...

Ned: Yeah, imagine that;> But then, the Net has been a perfect vehicle for discovering fellow cynics.
