Survey: What are your favourite qualities about yourself, & what would you like to improve about yourself?

For myself, I like that I am someone who usually can connect with people easily and bond with them. On the other hand, I am far too temperamental for my own good, and as close as I can connect with people, I am equally good at demolishing such bonds when I am stressed or upset, so this is a big area that I need to work on improving.





What about you?

I'm a loyal friend...I'll give you the shirt off my back and go to great lengths to avoid hurting someone.





I am way too sensitive...I can dwell on a hurt for quite a while even though I am well aware that I am being irrational.
Reply:Well, I love unconditionally, I am a Loyal friend, I am very sensitive to other peoples feelings , the empathy I feel for other people is sometimes, well I guess I am trying to say I feel the pain of other people to the extent that effects me maybe more than it should ( hard to explain) On the other hand I don't like confrontation BUT if i get push to My limit I can be brutal verbally, and If I don't like someone they know it , I cannot pretend to be a Friend. This is a problem I need to work on when I'm working . I will get along with almost everyone, I can take people for who they are ( different personalities) But there are certain people that I just can stand and have trouble holding back how I feel. When sometimes I should just be the better person and get along with them. And there are certainally other areas in my life that need work on .But too tired to list them all !!!!
Reply:I like the fact that I can easily become friends with people and accept them as they are. Once they are my friend, they are until they break off the relationship. And that brings me to the part I don't like. Having trouble forgiving them for not wanting me as their friend. Not all forgiving is a problem, just that aspect. I am a forgiving person, just not when betrayed.


Some of this revolves around compassion for others and knowing that I can help them, the hard part is not being able to help due to circumstances out of my control. Which is another problem, I'm not sure if I like being in control or not, sometimes being forced to be the one in control and in some situations I would rather not be the one but there is no one else to do it.


I'd like to be able to have more fun and be around happy, jovial people that make me laugh, egg me on, and bring out the best in me because if it is thrown at me I will surely.rebound it back.
Reply:Wow Jack, you're like, PMS-ing or something. It's true you're very good at connecting. Probably all those positive ions that surround you like a halo.





The thing I like about myself is that I'm really good at hide and seek. The thing that needs improving (or so they SAY) is guarding my tongue. I just say the first thing on my mind, which sometimes is not such a good thing.....yeah, I've learned to do a LOT of editing and back-pedaling. I think I've improved.
Reply:I'm a person who can adapt to any environment or social circle with natural ease, and have fun in the process. I'm extremely energetic and I like how I can turn a potential fight around (my husband and friends are still shaking their heads at how I manage to do it)


However, I'm not really conscious of other people's feelings, and sometimes I read them wrong. I have no patience with quitters and those that pity themselves. I do not understand depression, and that makes me insensitive.


I would like to be more in tune and sensitive to others emotional problems.
Reply:I love that I'm a friendly person and willing to help people emotionally. I have a lot of things I would like to improve about myself, such as being jealous, my self esteem, and not having as much self confidence that I would like to have.
Reply:I'm very accepting of other people, and I am able to be deeply moved by art, music, or great literature. I'm full of useless but entertaining trivia facts, as well. : )





I need to be more disciplined and ambitious...life is quickly passing me by, and I've done little of consequence up to this point.
Reply:i like that it's really hard to get me upset...although once i'm upset i tend to stay upset for a long time.





my friend and i call this "holding a grudge in this life and into the next." i think it's a scorpio trait.





ok...maybe i'm not that bad, but i would like to let go of my anger sooner.





((jack))
Reply:like you, I feel like I easily connect with people... but then after a short while I lose interest and stop putting in any effort to maintain a friendship. in fact, if i look around, i don't have any real friends. sure i have my wife and a few girlfriends, but that's not the same is it?
Reply:My favorite quality about myself? That'd have to be my intelligence and cunning.





As for what I'd change about myself? I guess it would be useful and helpful to be able to read people better. I'm not that good at recognizing social cues, at least not as good as I wish I was.
Reply:I wish I could answer this in an unbiased way, but right now I'm tired, and overwhelmed and I see no good qualities, only too much to improve upon.
Reply:lol to be politically correct Jack what you described about yourself i believe is called bi-polar =p





jus kidding bro





um... yea





anyway I'm extremely compassionate about life in general as much talk i do and how obnoxious i can be at times, being big bad MMA man and a prick etc.. despite all those things I am quite compassionate about life and hate to see creatures in danger or hurt.





Which is really odd considering the ghetto i came from where most people would rather blow your head off then give a compliment.





well... example today i continued to help nurse a robin chick, he's in the yard now in some high hedges i hope his mom teaches him well.. The other day he fell in my pool and i got him out he seemed to be shocked from the cold so I kept it in the palms of my hands woke up today at 5am because baby robins need to be fed every 20 minutes and done so all day. He's become less dependent on me quickly so hopefully he'll be one of the 25% of robins that survive past the first 3 months.





Yesterday i found a stray dog he's been abused and starved doing much better now but has worms, I'm trying to get him into a no kill animal shelter, despite being somewhat aggressive over food and not liked to be left alone he's actually very well behaved and neutered but i can tell the signs of abuse on him and won't give him back to the original owners anyway he didn't have any ID on him so all should be good unless he has a tracking device in him which i doubt. We're not that fancy in da hood.





One of my tenants today is having problems with her 15 year son, he's very troubled i thought about evicting them because of him but i talked to him some I don't think i got through to him much but he's clam now and on his way to his grandfathers.





I hate using anything but cruelty free mouse traps and my neighbors hate me for dumping live mice in their yard but i figured they came from those dirt balls to begin with so I'm just returning them.





I'm environmental friendly and surely the only one around here who cut their fossil fuel use in half. I would like to get out of the city with enough land and no restrictions to make a home into a 100% reusable energy.





I have a strong empathy toward others...


I believe we belong to the earth and not the earth to us.


I believe in community involvement


volunteering my thing is mostly animal shelters


wild life preservation (F U Sarah Palin and ur drilling for oil)





so yea despite being a jerk at times and making fun of dumbtards i am actually a pretty nice guy.





No really!
