Are there any attributes of your personality you wish you could change, or is it just me.

I'm indecisive, impatient, hate criticism an overthinker and a perfectionist and have a touch of OCD How's that for a list now a magic wand

I am impatient, especially when other people don't appear to 'get' something that I think is obvious - my OH for example, OMG sometimes I can explain something in like child talk and he still doesn't understand and all I am trying to tell him is where something is....so frustrating!

I have tourettes..well not officially diagnosed..but find I will curse out loud at the most ridiculous of things. OCD...well yes..but not as bad as I use to be. I do get mad easy, but it passes fast after I explode, I calm down pretty quickly.

I can't/won't lose an argument! Even if half way through I realise that I maybe wrong I still don't give in.

No i wouldnt

Theres parts of me i know are not ideal, im obsessive, im hot tempered, im foul mouthed, im grumpy and impatient, i dont do well with what i perceive as stupidity, im abrasive and im a worrier

But if changed those who would i be, some one else? No im content to stay as i am and manage those traits that make me me cos i balance them out with the things people obviously like in me

Well said mario! I do agree as we'd all be boring shits if we didn't have our traits.

Like I said I can't lose an argument and I'm very proud of this as no one ever gets the better of me but I'd maybe like to be able to bow out of an argument when I realise I'm wrong, instead of making a complete tit out of myself like I do occasionally lol.

I speak my mind (can be a good thing though sometimes it has got me in trouble), I can be impatient and quite highly strung at times. More so since having George.

People who are late annoy me. Not so much if it's a one off or if you have a legitimate reason but people who are constantly late really grates on me.

I guess I'd like to be a bit more laid back and to be able to take things in my stride a bit more but as my mum said to me years ago 'Tania is Tania'. Compliment really. For all my not so great points, if I didn't have them, then I wouldn't be me.

I can be too opinionated and quite often say something then rapidly wish I hadn't. I'm disorganised, always late and untidy

MMmmmm,mmmm,mmmm hard one.

Ha, had to laugh about the always late part.

While people who are always late annoy me, I do try and keep it to myself because who am I in getting annoyed at that.

Actually sometimes I try and be late because I am always early but I can never be late no matter how hard I try.

Lol

Some interesting posts. I love Mario's I suppose without these traits we wouldn't be who we are. I maybe be a bit cuckoooooooooooo but I guess some people love me that way I hope

Mara, have you changed your surname to Picot pmsl

I hate my temper. my dad has an awful temper for the most silly reasons and I when I get annoyed about stupid things all im thinking is "your like your dad shurrrup" and although I totally agree with what mario said I would love to change that about me!

I have a tendancy to let things annoy me when I shouldnt.

I also find that I wind myself up over things that havent even happened yet and then find myself annoyed with the people involved - even if they havent done anything, lol!

I was going to post something like Mario but I couldn't put it more beautifully.

I'm me, take it or leave it because I like me.

I like you too Gill x

Id change the fact that the sillyest little things bug/worry me even the slightest thing i worry about n i cant stop worrying over it.
another is i can be quite whats the word not jealous but insecure with my oh which i wish i was more laid back xx

i think i'm too obsessive...if something is bugging me it eats away at me constantly

i'm also super suspicious and cynical so maybe it'd be nice not to think the worst for once

Do you know I annoy myself being late all the time, but I just can't seem to get any better, it boils down to the being disorganised bit. I seem to be forever trying to catch up with stuff

I actually guwaffed at that!!! LMAO

I forgot to put my real reply up.

I am bad tempered, quick tempered, obsessive, controlling.

I suppose i could chill a bit lol xx

for me I always turn everything into a joke, I've always used humour as a bit of a security blanket but like a few others have said I wouldn't change who I am.

ive got used to who i am now but one thing i would change or try and work on is my tendency to be too hard. What i mean is that when faced with a difficult or emotional situation i just shut off. "Stoical" i think the word is. Rather than get upset, i get angry. Unfortunately s bad relationship years ago really hardened me up, but so much so, i wont let anyone into my heart (only Cerys) x

Im really indecisive. It can take me half an hour deciding over what kinda of bread to get, or what to order from a restaurant or take away..

Im also laid back - too laid back. I always say sorry even if its not my fault (dunno if this is a good thing or bad things) as i hate an argument.

I think im also too forgiving. I cant hold a grudge.

I'm not too happy with myself right now so I'd change quite a lot. A couple of biggies that never seem to overcome are that I'm unconfident and very very grumpy!

i have the most horrid temper known. i flip like a switch, like tonight, i got peed off the kids had jumped on my bed and some of the slats fell down. i man handled it and flip the bugger right over so it was up side down dunno where the strength comes from at times, its a solid leather king size bed. i hate that part of me and have been trying to change it since i was 8 years old.

i have an obsession that everything to do with the kids has to be done exactly my way or its not done right at all. watching the oh do things his way grates on me and i have to bite my tounge.

i am very emotionally closed off in my relationship. i let people see what they need to because i hate being judged, i can say the right things when needed and put on the show. in the cold reality of it, im a cold, hard biatch with my emotions towards men.

im also very spoiled. i like things my way, there and then, that moment in time and i dont like waiting for them thats a huge thing id change in a hearbeat. iv been working on that, with patience!

this dont read like im a very nice person. i am... till im pissed off
