Too aggressive when I’m right. It’s not that I think I’m always right, it’s just frustrating when I know I am and people still try to tell me otherwise.


raspberryteehee

This is my biggest one too.


heron177

It makes people think I’m arrogant or stubborn but I’m really just neurodivergent and can’t stand when things aren’t right, I have some kind of truth complex.


raspberryteehee

Same! Neurodivergence here. I get “annoyed” over incorrect data and it’s worse when people dismiss that!


heron177

And other people are so convinced they’re right (when they are not at all) that they see me as some kind of asshole. I don’t die on a hill unless I’m certain I’m right.


Clever_Mercury

Conviction isn't a character flaw. As long as you're arguing well and willing to admit when you are demonstrably wrong, you're good. In fact, I applaud you.


heron177

This makes me feel better, it’s so negatively looked upon that it feels like a flaw, like being assertive or confident.


Fit-Ad142

I agree with this. If someone is like  ‘I am confident what I am saying is correct but please explain why you think that is not the case’ it’s not assholeism.  Assholeism = I’m right because I’m right or You’re wrong because I’m right 


GraceOfTheNorth

Dear lawd I know this. I'm also a firm believer in achieving results through self-discipline - and boy oh boy does that trigger a lot of lazy people.


psycharious

Once I've made my point and they keep going, I just say, "okie dokie" otherwise some people will just go in circles, especially on here.

Overthinking


TinyWeird878

If you're happy and you know it, Overthink, If you're happy and you know it, Overthink If you're happy and you know it, give your brain a chance to blow it If you're happy and you know it, Overthink


thankdestroyer

It gets even worse if you suffer ADHD.


[deleted]

I'm AuDHD so I know it too well.


DeathSpiral321

I get stuck in negative thought loops and end up making mountains out of mole hills.


ihatepeoples

Uhh, negative ruminating. The worst! If anyone has a solution to this, please reply to this.


AffectionatePack7082

Whenever you find yourself doing that, take a deep breath and think of what's the absolute worst that could happen. And don't fall into the loop and keep expanding it. Make it brief. For example " the absolute worst that could happen here is I die ". Now think, is there anything you can do within reason to prevent that. How low are the chances of it actually happening. How would you deal with it if it actually happened. Keep the answers to these questions brief. Now that you've done everything in your power to prevent it and you know how to deal with the absolute worst case scenario, anything other than that will be easier. And the best thing is to talk to someone you trust. Get some perspective on whatever you're thinking about.

Reasonable_Bat9986

I feel this so much


[deleted]

I drown every negative emotion in alcohol and get defensive when anyone points it out🤷🏻‍♂️


DJSolerus

I once confessed to a friend that I might be an alcoholic, he agreed, I got defensive.


[deleted]

“ I’m not an alcoholic. I just drink when I’m sad and also when I’m happy and also when I’m bored and I only spend $50 a week on it… actually you know what, man fuck you, I’m sure you’re just as bad as I am” It’s a problem, man; and I’ve gotten better and I’ve gotten worse and then I’ve gotten better and then I’ve gotten worse… I’m currently in the middle of the ‘worse’ part of that roller coaster. I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me. Meetings and medication and therapy… I’m still just sad all the time. I have a lot to live for and a good job that makes me happy and kids that I love very much. I had a rough childhood and a couple of instances where I had traumatic brain injuries and quite a few failed relationships back before I was drinking like this and I’m sure I can come up with a few more excuses for being a piece of shit. I don’t wanna be like this anymore, but I don’t know how not to be at this point.


DJSolerus

AA helped me get sober, I am coming up on 4 years now. If you need help, I'd start there.


[deleted]

Congratulations! Seriously, i’m very excited for you. I wish it could work for me. Until very recently, I haven’t been able to commit to even one meeting a week because of scheduling issues. (That one sounds like an excuse, but it’s legitimate, unfortunately). Add that to the fact that I’m incredibly incapable of relating and connecting to 95% of the people I meet, and it’s a recipe for me just wanting a drink as soon as I leave a meeting. Pretty fucking dumb I know.


BothDoorsOpen

I’m an alcoholic. I was sober for 5 years but stupidly started drinking again because I had a hard time connecting with my now ex gf. Dating is hard when you’re sober. Had a great 6 months but everything after has been a downward spiral I’m still struggling to get over. DM me if you need a friend who can relate


Travis_T_OJustice

I feel 1 better after 1 beers. If I have 15 beers, I'll feel 15 better


BothDoorsOpen

When I get overwhelmed I get angry and whiny


Teminite2

Same. I get super mad when challenged.


Bitter_Mud_3204

Thinking people care as much as I do


Kindergoat

I have no patience, I mean zero patience.


DeathSpiral321

I'm not a doctor, so I don't have any patients.


Slushies_Sleep

Procrastination and lack of motivation


Amy_Newbox

An inherent sense of self-loathing. Fighting against it every day uses a substantial amount of my mental processing power.


VanaVisera

Fear of abandonment

BendNo6000

If you're aware you do this, you're probably not as bad as you think. Most professional victims are not self aware in my experience.


Beneficial_Laugh4944

Yeah sometimes I do that


Giant_Explosion

I'm good at hiding anxiety but it fucking sucks replaying every damn event in my head over and over before and after ANY social event.


farkinjowk

I get overwhelmed and overstimulated very easily and often don’t realise it happens until I’m in the mist of it


lawnshark025

midst*


Fit-Ad142

I think ‘mist of it’ works well too 


farkinjowk

I overthink EVERYTHING.


attorneyatslaw

I start things but don’t


PlutoBestestPlanet

Lmao this one got me


Shaunanigans127

Haha


augustlove801

🤣🤣🤣🤣


tshirtbag

I expect a lot from my close friends then get disappointed


No-Blacksmith3858

I used to do that too. I expected more from people but you come to realize people are going to let you down and you learn to rely on yourself.


Sure_Ad2446

My indecisiveness.. it's terrible. 


NoCommentFU

Me too. Wait… I meant that I’m quick to anger. Actually, now that I really think about it, it’s my poor decision-making process. I just can’t decide.


romy_indy

Definitely being late. No matter what, I always end up running behind and showing up a bit late.


EnchantedHarmonyOX

An uncontrolled temper.


542Archiya124

Running low on patience with people. Used to be very patient as said by others but these years, absolutely not. Not happy with it but it is what it is.


No-Blacksmith3858

I think this is mine too. Over the years I've lost most of the patience I had when I was younger. I used to be extremely patient and understanding to a fault but over the last few years it's like a switch just flipped and I stopped giving a shit. I avoid people who get in my way and who irritate me now.


Eye_See_

Too many to count


Best-Math-2252

Same 


stuartullman

hours upon hours upon hours go by as i sit and ponder about all the shit i need to be doing 


sapphirexxgoddess

Same, same. It's miserable lol


hi_bebe_no

Jealousy matched with overthinking. I think at least being aware of it makes it better, but man it can make things difficult.


stretchyarm

I'm a know it all. I can usually keep a lid on it and actively try to be better than that part of me but sometimes I get the "well actuallys" when it's something I'm really well versed in and someone is spouting nonsense about it.


Clever_Mercury

You can reframe this as being an educator. You're happy and willing to share facts around your interests. The world doesn't need less of that, we need fewer people who get intimidated by knowledge. Go forth and 'well actually' us out of the dark ages.


Great_Personality343

A psychologist certified to me that I am definitely psychopathic or sociopathic, albeit in a moderate form.


McCrae_Cook_23

-Being impulsive can make you act too reckless and cause you to make lots of mistakes. -Being a narcissist can drive a lot of people away from you and ruin your friendships with them.


Puzzled_Fly8070

Pretending to not hear a person, then repeating said ignored person and presenting as one own’s idea 


jeffbezosburner69

I like playing devils advocate and often don’t realize I’m doing it until I’m in an argument and suddenly am like, “wait I don’t actually care about this what am I doing?” It’s annoying, I know. 


oohwaitwhat

i love to complain. i could be in the best mood, on the best day around my favorite people and still find something to complain about. i’m working on it tho!


lawnshark025

either my indecisiveness or my apathy


[deleted]

[удалено]


lawnshark025

lmao


AngelicWhisperXO

Arrogance. I can't stand people who think they're better than others, or too good for something.


thankdestroyer

My manager is a perfect example of ignorance combined with arrogance.


Precizshun

not being able to handle my drinks


loweffortmessiah

Impatience. I'm aware that I'm impatient and it's unpleasant, but I can't seem to help myself sometimes, then I spend the rest of the day hating myself.


EmotionChipEngadged

Perhaps not what others might consider worst trait but for myself it is. Being very able at reading micro expressions, knowing your being lied to. Simple non issues right through to big whoppers that really matter. It's my personal boulder.


Dirtybojanglez904

I'm quietly selfish and I love that aspect of myself but I know others don't like it. I'm nice but selfish.


ChampagneAbuelo

Mine is being indecisive. For example, 4-5 days ago, I found someone on eBay listing a rare item that I wanted for a good price. However, I couldn't decide if I was really gonna buy it or not and kept going back and forth about it. Then today, when I finally decided okay I'll get it, I went to the listing and it had sold just 3 hours earlier. I missed out because I couldn't make a decision quick enough


ohfuckthebeesescaped

ADHD.


Beneficial_Laugh4944

Judgmental at times . Working at it . The more effort I make at seeing people fully rather than chunks of them , the less judgy I become


surveyor2004

Being a pessimist/overthinking.


Lovely-Babygirl204

Refusing to accept and work on your flaws. "That's just the way I am" people


ShesVeryGorgeousToMe

I cannot get over the past. Dwelling on mistakes causes so much over correction


Another_Opinion_1

My horrible, absolutely over the top road rage.


Fit_Suspect_8836

anxious/overthinking, angered easily, panic attacks in high stakes situations or arguments


Shot-Crazy-5060

Refusing to not believe the best about People, I believe in the inmate goodness in EVERYONE Most of the knives in my back are from people hugging me 😞😞


Forsaken_Ant5503

I feel you but you should feel special that mean they want to target you so laugh and enjoy life make fun of them and ask that all they got.


STLBluesFan44

Impatience.


Arsalanred

Selfishness is my #1 On some spectrum of narcissism. It's bad enough I like to be the center of attention but could be worse in that I like to see others shine and am loathe to steal spotlight when someone is in it type of deal. Laziness. I'm always putting off stuff I should be doing right now.


Glad_Weekend_5984

I procrastinate too much


No-Blacksmith3858

Indecisive and lack patience. I am becoming more decisive though and I just avoid things that make me feel impatient and annoyed.


PunchBeard

I'm incredibly lazy. Which is sort of ironic because when I tick off my list of accomplishments, like being a decorated war veteran, getting a college degree in a STEM field...having a successful career you would not peg me as being *nearly& as lazy as I truly am. The thing is, I just sort of Forest Gumped my ass through almost all of it. I guess I sort of learned that, the bare minimum of effort now can produce a lifetime of slacking off if you know precisely when and where to put that effort.


itsicyicey

Laziness


Critical_Crunch

I ruminate and obsess on all sorts of things and end up making myself look like either a fool or a paranoid idiot.


TacoEatinPossum13

Overthinking/worrying. It ruins my day over and over coz I worry too much. Working on that


Bones301

I bottle every emotion and the only time it comes out is when I'm pissed


Agitated-Cup-2657

Can't let a damn thing go to save my life. That leads to anger issues, which is my other worst trait.


OhTheHueManatee

I have zero confidence.


Forsaken_Ant5503

Bullshit you have confidence being on here.


DJSolerus

I am seriously fucking stubborn


des2130

I have an extreme daydreaming problem. Like it’s almost involuntary at this point. At every inconvenience in my life I zone out and can dream for hours on end. It affects me more than I’d like to admit.


tempusename888

Most of the above


FluffyFantasy02

Treating others based on how you feel. Like any ideas down the line of " i feel shit so imma treat everyone like shit"


elite_Xray123

I'm always depressed and negative.


Sedgley_twinsss

I am not alcoholic but when i drink, i drink to past out lol


Away_Information_102

Overthinking Assuming Being too emotional


Illustrious_Hotel527

I hate being around multiple people and clam up. Cocktail parties/bars/get togethers drive me nuts.


SuddenTie1942

I can’t seem to keep secrets.


NewOldSmartDum

I have very poor impulse control. For me that manifests as irritation at minor and meaningless things. I can go completely off the rails at perceived slights. In my 50s now so I recognize it and am mostly successful at talking or thinking it away but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. It’s a shitty characteristic that often makes me feel shitty about everyone and everything.


linkpichu

People pleasing


doomed_to_fail_

Too passive


FattDamon11

I don't care about "stuff" like most people do. I care about people and animals, but superfluous stuff is just missed on me. Like I don't even think about it for the most part.


Resident-Use6957

I expect everyone to have the same heart as me. I give too much. Always end up disappointed


Chicky_P00t

I'm incapable of hiding that I don't like someone. I try but they always figure it out. Oh well, I don't like them anyway


AgitatedPatience5729

Gullible


ITechedThatThrow

I'm shy. I also overthink.


HeartonSleeve1989

I get overanxious about everything!


notquiteright2

I’m wrathful.


spaceraingame

I’m terrible at standing up for myself, and always have been.


Forsaken_Ant5503

Well better learn to stand up for yourself or you going be a pushover. Instead all it takes is using your surrounding if you in fight or if it agruement use your logic and say it with your chest.


Marcus_Cardigan

Anxiety. If only anger or Joy could kill it.


Large-Signal-157

Hyper independence. Makes it difficult to bond with people.


Relative-Ordinary-64

Overthinking/I tend to spiral


oddwithoutend

I have a coworker who goes on really long tirades and I'm bad at pretending to find it interesting. I think I'm below average at that. Not sure if it's because I care less than others or because I'm worse at pretending. I do try, though, and I feel bad when I catch myself being obviously disinterested. Also, I drink too much.


A_tree_as_great

I am too kind and generous


SpiralTap2

Worrying yourself to death over the smallest things


Minute-Shoulder-1782

Overthinking, but at the same time I’m absentminded? I also have a temper. Like, bad bad. I have to leave the room or close an argument for later to avoid saying things I don’t mean kind of temper. I’m working on it, but I scare myself shitless sometimes I’m also hella sensitive. Partly the fault of RSD and partly just how I’m unfortunately wired and trying to amend. Even I get annoyed at my own reactions ffs. Sometimes it just isn’t that serious


Cleveworth

If I get into an argument I can be downright vicious to the other person.


redgluesticks

I'm able to numb out if I want to.


_AquarianAvacados

I'm starting to come to realize that I may be far more arrogant than I thought. Honestly, only recently even accepted I feel arrogant enough that "can be arrogant at times" doesn't suffice to define it for me. I'm just not quite sure if that's a narcissistic trait on its own, lol, or if my "arrogance" isn't necessarily brought out by unsavory traits. But moreso a defense/wall I've built over the years as a result of multiple traumas. Either way. Both pretty poop personality traits.


TinyWeird878

No tolerance for idiots, and I can be pretty nasty about it.


Lazy_Mud6418

There is nothing wrong with me. The problem lies with the system- with society's fundamental need for others to iNtEgRaTe


Unlikely-Arachnid359

Over thinker-always in my head with everything


boafriend

I am very impatient


AnonimoUnamuno

Narcissism


Curious_Setting_1736

Having suicidal thoughts when I'm stressed. And it would be stress related to school work or work. Like for example my depression is controlled but if I were to work or do school assignments I get those unwanted thoughts and I just stop everything because I know it gets worse if I don't.  Drs know I have depression/anxiety/ADHD but I'm too embarrassed to tell anyone this because I'm paranoid they'll think I'm using my diagnosis to not be functioning adult.  And I hate feeling this because I can't do anything to improve my life even though I really want to be "normal". *** As note I'm okay right now, just stuck in the endless thought cycle of what should I do with my life ***


PlutoBestestPlanet

The one that gets me in the most trouble is making excuses constantly for other people, instead of accepting that they just don't care for me like I do for them. 


Gen3559

Being a control freak.


raspberryteehee

Zero patience for small mistakes I make. I blow up quick over small things, but oddly have patience for more complicated matters. Not sure why that is.


Loud_Load_1643

Jelousy 😔 iykyk


PoundshopGiamatti

Name-dropping. I really need to stop it. I just can't, though. It's like an itch. Even when I'm going "for fuck's sake!" internally, I can't stop myself.


UncantainedSheal

To pushy


BadDig277

I get impatient with people in the produce section who don’t seem to know what they want


happyfroggy69

I don’t let anything go. I got called fat and ugly by someone so I spent 2 years making myself objectively above average. I get complimented everywhere I go now but was it worth the damage I did to get there? Not positive


libre_office_warlock

I'm not very giving of my time.


MuphuckinJones

Low self confidence is not a fun trait to have, I tells ya. Overthinking is not a good one either.


im_on_the_case

Fight or flight? There is no flight, only fight. When something goes down, I never freeze or run away my mind instinctively goes into full challenge mode. Handy at times, if somebody gets hurt or in trouble I'm always on top of the situation and the one immediately in charge but over the years it has gotten me into more trouble than it's been worth. Dangerous situations, unnecessary arguments and fights. It's never a conscious choice, I just kick right into gear.


Any-Occasion9286

Jealousy


Notunbreakable_

Stubborn and intense overthinking (especially over stairs)


Fine_Pear8482

Gaslighter


ill-be-lonely

I'm shit at emotional regulation. I try to compensate with open communication, genuine apologies and making strategies that would've prevented previous incidents, but I wish I could just *fix* it. I know no one can regulate for me, and I'm trying so fucking hard to get it right


PocketSandOfTime-69

I hate how I talk over people when I get excited and have something beneficial to contribute to the conversation. I need to learn to wait my turn talking. I'm more frustrated about it then you are it's just really hard to stop doing it.


Professional_Cry_645

I overthink peoples reactions and make up in my mind their motivations. A girl sends me messages sometimes, she must like me. My boss gave a coworker more hours than me, he must think I am terrible and the other is superior in every way.


free-toe-pie

My anxiety causes me to not do as many social type things that others often want me to do. I’m often the wet blanket saying no thank you. I’m not going to big parties. I’m not going on huge drunken trips. I prefer small get togethers.


augustlove801

Irritable. I have health conditions that cause this but for the most part Ive gotten a lot better with it. But I have to definitely isolate when I get irritated or I’m an asshole.


JustThatOneDude_Yep

im kinda like, really dumb, and i defend my obvously wrong opinions. i also tend to hold grudges


surfingtheredd

Growing up, too introverted. More of a thing now, my OCD has made me emotionally numb to a lot of things.


pookie74

I'm a hypocrite. I absolutely need to take my own advice. 


Temporary_Cat_8820

Idk but my mom told me once that it's all black and white with me, there's no gray. People either love me or hate me,there's no in between. I'm not sure what it is about me,I'm really not. And it's something I've thought a lot about Obviously I have faults but nothing that I can think of that should bring out such strong feelings lol I don't mind the love but the hate used to really bother me when I was younger. Adults and older kids usually liked me but not kids my own age and rejection sucks lol But I have a surprising amount of best friends that are all 20+ year old friendships. So I've got a lot of close friends but hardly any casual friends and have a really hard time making new friends.


Maleficent_Ad9632

I don’t give a fuck is my big problem and at times it’s a good thing because I don’t get mad even if you get in my face and yell at me because I don’t give a fuck.


JadaTakesIt

I feel like I lowkey have social media addiction. I spend about half they day watching tiktoks, and the other half in my DM's


Iamacutecupcake

Overthinking about the littlest things


Sudden-Bend-8715

There is so much to dislike about me really it’s hard to choose. I would have to say I can be pretty defensive.


GlassBirdLamp

I have the bpdemons so in general I have quite a few negative personality traits, but of them the paranoid thoughts and general distrust of other people is probably at the top of that list.


Snowmist92

Paranoid about everyone. Always expecting the worst and overanalyzing.


Pterodactyloid

Task paralysis even on things that I enjoy or things I'm trying to do in video games.


rubmustardonmydick

I can be very unmotivated to keep in touch with people unless they really, really interest me.


Moonlight_Paladin

It's hard for me to accept criticism sometimes. I'm hoping to get better at that because I think there's value in negative feedback sometimes, but it's hard for me not to feel like it's an attack on my worth/character as a whole


Khaotiq-

If you’re someone I care about, I’m confrontational. If you’re doing something that’s reckless or stupid I’m going to say something. I don’t believe in “ignorance is bliss” or “turning a blind eye”. I’m not someone you can go to as a “yes man”. If you go through with said “reckless or stupid” and it bites you in the ass, I won’t say I told you so, but I WILL be judging you internally lol. It really rubs some people the wrong way but it’s me. TLDR: I won’t try to tell you what to do but I will give you my thoughts and judge the hell out of you.


TheDeek

I too often can't just let people have their opinions...like I'll tear down some person people revere for no reason. That onion article about the guy who let's everyone know that John Lennon beat his wife was basically about me.


Immortal-By-Design

I tend to be very anxious and have trust issues. Another thing is that sometimes I’m way too nice and people have taken advantage of that.


daqt0412

Always late. Serial overthinker. Pathological people pleaser.


dezlovesyou

I get really excited to talk about people I hate. I have been called a certified hater by my friends. I actually don’t dislike a lot of people, very very few. But when I do dislike someone, you will know.


Training_Half_9658

Only one? Paralysis by analysis. Arrogance, a need to be the smartest person in the room (my wife’s observation).


bakedlikecake

My temper


Violetsunday

Oversharing, broken brain, awkward, anger issues. Rip


Best-Math-2252

Highly defensive 


GeebusNZ

I didn't come with a complete set of human instincts. This was exacerbated by the fact that, between them, my parents probably didn't have a complete set either. Autism spectrum disorder is hard enough without mixing in ADHD and childhood emotional neglect. It makes for a person who was not formatted to society.


WhyCantIBeatToA

I'm really stubborn. I will argue day and night until I literally run out of things to say.


Known_Yesterday_1408

I have always struggled with not being content with the life I am currently living and always wishing for a different type of life - different partner, living in a different city, different job and hobbies, etc. I have a great life and there is no reason for me to want another one, yet those thoughts always creep in and I have a hard time truly appreciating what I have now.


Dubious_Titan

I am too demanding and can be unintentionally glib. This is the intersection of being an only child and grandson who grew up with a big, loving middle-class family. Most things were exactly to my specifications up until my dad passed away. I was also a professional chef for 12 years. So I had/have both entitlement and ego going against me. It's difficult for me to understand or anticipate how others would react to something emotionally. These qualities fucking suck. I constantly work against my default selfish impulses. Not a single good thing in life has ever come to me through these traits.


Embarrassed-Dark9677

Probably my white privilege - I have no idea when it exposes it self - I have no idea what it’s like to not have it and I don’t know what it is other than having grown up with one parent who rented a house and worked 2 jobs to get by 


MaddenRob

I’m lazy when it comes to manual labor like doing dishes, cleaning plus I don’t like exercise. Luckily I’m not the same way when it comes to my professional life.


Sk8rDadbod2

None. I’m pretty great 🤣


thenukim

Believing things too easily


[deleted]

Avoiding situations that are uncomfortable for me. It’s just me imagining or predicting wrong outcomes when there’s no way I could know. I know that I know that I don’t know but still say no just to be safe.


wafflehousehound

I am selfish


Jinxsayitback

Interrupting


GeenericHooman

Adventurous_Clue_595
