This used to be me and I suppose still is to an extent but I think I've finally learned be careful about who I show kindness to. I'm nice to people on a casual basis but unless I know some one very well I feel like it's better to keep to myself. I think it's important to develop a good bullshit detector because unfortunately not everyone is as kind of a person as they should be. Besides that I think my biggest flaw is probably procrastinating on doing things that I don't want to deal with, like writing an essay or sorting out school papers or whatever. I've gotten better though... I think.
me too I tend not to think as much of others, I've lived by myself for a long time which doesn't help I'm also terrible at keeping in touch with people
Another bad personality trait of mine which is really showing itself since graduate school restarted is the following: I tend to only be productive in very unpredictable, very short bursts. In those times, I can get more done in 2 hours than most students can do in 2 days. HOWEVER, the rest of the time, I can barely get any work done. And since these 'bursts' are unpredictable, I can't really schedule in when to do work, etc. So it is bothersome. Anyone else like this?
I'm unsure this is apart of my personality, but I feel like I'm inconsistent. I do things well, and then do them again and perform poorly. I start projects with lots of motivation but lack the will to finish. I can't really say "oh, I never do such and such..." or "oh, I always do such and such..." as if such banal actions pin me down too much. I'd like to learn to become more consistent.
I'm a little selfish. Not in any way that really matters and I always put others first and come through for others when it really counts, but I'm selfish in the its-obvious-I'm-the-youngest-child-of-four-siblings-who-are-much-older-than-me kind of way. I didn't really have siblings, I had multiple parents that spoiled the crap out of their baby. So I'm selfish in weird little thoughtless ways, like I always want to go first whenever anything fun is going on, I want the biggest piece of food, I expect people to really care and ntice whenever I'm feeling a certain way, I always expect people to be there to bail me out, etc etc. god yes. I hate it. I've been focusing on writing some short stories to send in to try to get published lately, but I'm only able to focus in spurts. I can sit down and write like 10 pages in a couple of hours, but then I won't touch it again for weeks.
I have horrible grammar and speech. I am very smart but when it is time to explain myself my mind becomes blank.
