35 Things People Embody So Deeply That Their Entire Personality Revolves Around It, As Shared In This Online Group
Someone’s personality is formed by a lot of different things: their behavior, social attitudes, what they believe in and other things. It is influenced by our environment and how we react to it. Most often a personality is constant and we can even predict what a person would like or how they would react to an unknown thing because they follow a specific pattern.
Personality is a complex concept, however, some people tend to simplify it and choose one thing to base it on. It may become annoying, at least according to the experience of redditors who responded to Kandiblu’s question “What’s something that people turn into their whole personality?”
The thread became quite popular with over 58k people upvoting it and almost 44k of them joining in. These are some of the annoying personalities based on one thing that most people found very annoying. Do you agree with them? Which ones that you find unbearable weren’t in this list? Let us know in the comments!

OCD.i dont know why many people in my lives believe they have OCD and they are proud about it. There is a difference between keeping everything organized and OCD.
Yes. I don't have OCD, but I like everything being organized, but at a certain point I just don't care...
While most people found these things they mentioned annoying and in some cases they even expressed fear seeing someone so obsessed about just one thing, the people who always bring up the same topic in every conversation might not be doing it on purpose.
Bored Panda reached out to Denise Marigold, an Associate Professor and Chair of Social Development Studies at the Renison University College in Waterloo, Canada to learn more about this.
I’m Norwegian. When I say that, a shocking amount of people assume that I’m American with Norwegian heritage. There are so many americans making their «viking heritage» their whole personality, butchering the norse faith and fighting with actual Norwegians over the correct way to make a traditional dish and the spelling and usage of «skål» (cheers).
It’s so f**king horrible to watch. It’s like being mocked.
I'm half Irish, and there's people I've spoke to that are in the US and found out they are maybe like.. one tenth Irish, but they make jokes like "haha us ginger leprechauns" .. I don't really mind, but please. You're American, not Irish. Same way that I wouldn't say I'm fully Irish or fully Romanian, I'm half and half, yes, but I'm British. Edit: I don't wanna say don't be proud of your heritages, I certainly am, I've been learning Romanian and Irish, make Irish and Romanian foods, etc. But I would never say I'm FROM those countries, just that my ancestors are.
Same! My great grandparents came from Ukraine, but when I visited Ukraine and was asked if I was Ukrainian (“you look Ukrainian!”) I said “no I’m Canadian but my family came from Ukraine.” Big difference between that and actually being Ukrainian. (Слава Украины)

My mother was an English immigrant, so there's actual stuff my family does, or says in a certain way, that I later found out isn't a usual American thing. So for me, it's more like discovering there's hidden English culture stuff that I didn't know about. Kind of like Easter eggs in the game of Life. But I'd never tell an actual person from England or anywhere else how their culture works, that's just rude.
well, try being of Chinese descent and having people vacillate between wanting to rant angrily about the "China flu" or how evil the communist party is, or just randomly yelling NI HAO at you. or bowing to you! i can't tell you how many times people have bowed at me for absolutely no reason! b***h, I'm an American just like you and i double majored in English literature at Berkeley, so my English is just fine tyvm. i keep meaning to counter by ranting about how much i hate British imperialism or German Naziism, randomly yelling BONJOUR or ELLO GUV'NOR, and maybe bursting into Irish jigs for no good reason. but every time this bs happens to be I'm too taken aback to react in time 😖
Honest to god, it's hard to believe, but I DO believe it! I'm 53, and I was shocked to learn people acted similarly in the decades before me. I NEVER thought people would be still acting that way by now, except maybe like 4 crazy people across the whole state. How naive I was. Setting aside how awful it is, I just can't even understand their logic. Are they mentally challenged? I have no other explanation.

Alot of Americans and Canadians do this. I don't think its done maliciously but because the countries are so young there's not much heritage.
i've long held the suspicion people from the US have an identity crisis. I was asked there where i was from. My answer (Australia) wasn't enough and the follow up question was "But where do you come from?" As if outlining my genetic DNA would give more relevant information. huh? "well, homo sapien, neanderthal and denisovian."
It's also woeful ignorance of geography. They probably thought it was a city or something, not a continent.

Weren't vikings just raiders? So only a small amount of Norse were actually vikings?
For some reason 'viking' has become a noun, when it started out as a verb. To go into viking - drage i viking - was to travel, and mayby plunder and rape and pillage a bit, you know, just in good sports, though, but the rest of the year they could be peaceful farmers of some degree at home. Women in this age had a great degree of freedom unknown to many women of the same time. They had to be able to run the home/house/farm both economically, and agriculturally and still be able to defend it. They could also choose to divorce their husband.

North Carolina has a huge scot-irish ethnix makeup. The Lake Norman (Loch Norman) highland games just occurred. I'm telling you if there is one group of people that actually to stick as close to accuracy as possible its the Scottish Carolinians.
The point s that there is no "accuracy". Every town, village, family has different ideas of what is "authentic". And it tends to be whatever version of the dish or activity that their grandparents did. And they probably did it differently to their grand parents. All the games/sports had different rules and traditions in different places. Often only when they were codified as national sports did there come a unity, usually in the 19th century, sometimes, ironically, by the English.

As an American who has lived all over the country I am suprised I have never ever not once met an American saying they were a viking. How moronic and false all for click bait
As a non-American having traveled all over the country, I've met plenty of wannabes claiming Viking heritage because they suffer from low self worth, even though they can't even name ONE relative of even remotely European descent

I am half Welsh and half German. I was born and live in Wales but spent most of my childhood in Germany (forces family) I speak English and German fluently and consider myself legitimately of blended heritage. My passport says British but I feel equally German. My great great grandparents were English but I do not consider myself English at all. I did live in England for a few years. When I speak German I actually speak in the accent of my Mums area.
This is getting to be a weekly post and it's so annoying. We get it. Americans bad. They're trying to steal everyone else's heritage because they hate themselves and are so desperate for culture. And because of a handful of anecdotes and groups that go to these extremes, every American that brings up their heritage must be doing it maliciously because they're not saying it the exact RIGHT WAY. Christ. We've had this discussion ad nauseam. I thought it was decided a LONG time ago the majority of the 329.5 million people in the US are not, in fact, trying to say they're ACTUALLY Irish. Or a Viking. You guys throw how "proud" Americans are of "'murica" in our face constantly and then suddenly we're all ashamed too? Make this make sense.
Agreed. We get it. Americans suck or whatever. (But apparently live rent free in the world's collective mind...) Insert tired stereotype here so we all can go on about the day.
Load More Replies... I don't condone this, but I understand it to some extent. (No, I don't partake in any of those shenanigans.) in many places in the US, we're 3-5 generations removed from all the immigrants who stole and colonized the land. We don't really feel like we have our own culture yet. My grandparents were either born in Norway and came here as toddlers or were born shortly after their parents arrived. (I don't for sure which.) They did not speak English until they went to school. There is a Norwegian museum close by. We used to have colleges where the primary language was Norwegian. We definitely have a different culture than other areas such as the coasts due to the people who immigrated here. (I'm in Minnesota.) But if people are going to pick up the culture of their ancestors, it's disrespectful to attempt to do so without actually researching. I'd be annoyed as well if I were you.
Looks like mostly fat, delusional, white 'Murican men to me in this pic .....
I don't think so. There is a sign on the building saying "flats to let", so they are probably English. But I hope it felt good to type your hateful comment.

I think this is due to most white Americans not having their heritage actually based down so they are trying to return to the closest they can grab at.
This is a medieval reenactment group called SCA. cool your offended jets. (For half a second, I thought I saw my BIL, who’s super active in it)
Most Americans I've met always love to tell me about their granny's pet dogs Scottish cousin. Cool story. I don't really care - and then they try to our Scottish you on whatever clan they claim to have descended from and what their tartan is blah blah. Again, cool story. But I'm still Scottish and you aren't. I was born here, to Scottish parents and Scottish grandparents, great grandparents etc etc - it's all very good you wanting to know your heritage and make that part of your identity, after all my house is older than the US - but stop trying to outdo those people who are actually citizens at nation and earned their Scottish badge by falling out the garage on sauchiehall street a dozen nights in a row straight into the noodle bar (gone but not forgotten) and lived to tell the tale.
Their bodies say 'Merica! But, the houses say " I don't have to declare bankruptcy because I went to the hospital".
Can you blame em, I mean, how cool would it be to know you are descended from vikings?
Well I'm British so probably descended from vikings but not in a good way...

I see them as conserved. I'll give an example of my own, Lithuanian heritage. Usually people from the US calling themselves of Lithuanian heritage, speak in old timey vocabulary, preserved traditions from 100 years ago while we, locals, changed them to a some point. Some words got outdated, some traditions changed, even our world view has changed since, you know, 50 years of rape so to speak.
I have spoken to countless Americans (I'm Scottish) who all seem to be related to William Wallace! Maybe they are of Scottish decent but there were other Scottish families at this time Sorry but it's actually quite annoying 😅 I can't help it but I have told them Haggis is little ceeatures running around in circles as one leg is smaller than the rest, so their easier to catch 🙈🤣
OK this comment is ridiculous. 1st off I'm from America and I have never seen Viking die hards. Sure there's people out there that like to do the role play like I'm in the Civil War area so you see them do that sometimes, But die hard really? Also who's to say they don't know more about the Viking heritage just because you grew up in Ireland doesn't mean you know any more than that person does. It's not like The Vikings are here to tell us anything. We are all just studying it and learning it. So whether Americans are learning through books or classes or you're learning it through it be in pass down through your generations egenerations either way I guarantee you it would've got messed up somewhere in those generations if he came all the way from The Vikings just like it would get messed up by us reading it in the books. So again no 2 was dumb.
Ask any American what their nationality is and you'll get the wrong answer 100% of the time. For a country that's rapidly going nationalistic, you'd think they'd know the correct answer. Even the US Census doesn't actually understand the term nationality.
This is a multi-part problem type looking at. This happens because a surprising number of Americans are living Dunning-Kruger graphs. Another part of this comes from Americans living in a country where people are encouraged to be incredibly milquetoast. Middle Americans, specifically the people in the center of this country, don't always have complex personalities. They get made to feel like having special interests makes them weird and unpalatable. These people will find that 1 thing that seems somewhat acceptable in America's land of bland, and they go all out to such a degree that they become irritating to the rest of humanity.
I have indigenous heritage (kaingang, from brazil) from my mom's side (since my grandparents were 2nd cousins, they have the same ancestors, basically indigenous woman raped by white guy, then the mixed child married another mixed child, who had mixed children, that married other mixed children and then their mixed daughter married my dad who is first generation german-brazilian), however I don't go around saying I'm indigenous, I'm not, I'm not recognized as indigenous by the kaingang, I have little connection to their culture, however I admire it, I try to learn about the culture as much as I can, I will try to learn their language and I like to buy from them and help them fighting with them for their rights and spreading their voices, this is how I admire my heritage, I never say I am fully kaingang, I am brazilian, 2nd generation brazilian, german traditions are very strong in my family, and I have indigenous heritage but that doesnt make me indigenous, that's it
Yeah. As a swede, I feel you. Except I don’t feel mocked as much as I feel pity. After a certain point it’s just so very sad. And why would one be desperate to have viking ancestry anyway? We could be right assholes at times.
How can anyone take pride in something they had nothing to do with? You didn't come from there, you didn't do anything. A certain combination of people had sex and you were born. Big deal. Do something of your own to be proud of.
I grew up in a town that gets tourists because of Amish. We are so homogeneous that we did a class project I Spanish class to find our heritage. Every one except the exchange student from Guatemala had German, English, Dutch heritage. I don’t remember a single McGuire or 0’ anything. The tourism slowed down the past decade or so. Suddenly we have a St. Patrick’s day 10k run and festival. It kills me.
Or ..or when some people are around 1 or more persons of color and they decide its best to speak "Urban" because ya know..why not.
What's really scary is when Americans adopt the "Viking" thing as an identity in such a way that it becomes a pathway into far-right white-supremacist stuff. So many neo-nazi organizations in the USA use Norse imagery and mythology to justify themselves.
First of all "Vikings" weren't a nationality, but more an occupation. It's insane appropriation to act like you were a first descendant of anything Viking related, when you aren't even FROM any of those countries. Not even the people from those country run around every day acting like Vikings, so give it a rest. And secondly, Americans' obsession with heritage is creepy and cringe.

He has to listen to the music, drink the Guinness, travel there every couple of years and make sure he keeps up with his 'friends across the pond'. Yet this is a guy who has the audacity to call anyone who wears green on St Patrick's Day, ' a plastic Paddy' because he says "they're only Irish one day a year". ONE reason he's an ex.
They look like reenactment people. Some groups are better about being more historically accurate than others. Most of the people I knew had no intention of making fun, but so many Americans have terrible manners.
My great-great-grabdmother was Native American, possibly Cherokee - the records from that far back get kinda fuzzy heritage-wise. I love knowing that those proud, incredible people are part of my ancestry, and I’ve made it a personal goal to learn as much as i can about Native American tribes and their history, and their struggles, but in my opinion it would just be ignorant for me to claim to be Native American, or even attempt to argue with a direct-line Native American about ANY part of their culture.

It is strange, particularly in the US, where, rather than just say "I'm an American", they have to be "Irish-American" or "African-American". I don't mind it so much, but there are "English-Americans" or "French-Americans", it's very strange. In the UK most people are just British, English, you do get Afro-Caribbeans and Indians, but the vast majority are English or British etc...
Too many people give too much of a damn about their bloodline, whereas your cultural line is much more important

They're not even Viking heritage. All the Vikings did was fart around in Canada, then go back home.
Americans puzzle me. It's like they're not proud of what they are. Why the constant need to remind some remote ancestor came from Europe or some other part of the world?
As a Canadian, I would say it is because the Indigenous people of Canada frequently point out that we are evil white settlers and they want to decolonize us.

Italian American, Irish American, Spanish American, Mexican American and so on and so forth. Really? Stop it now, you are American. Your ancestry is to be left to family trees and you really aren’t better at making pizzas because your great, great, great, great uncle was from Napoli ok?
Perhaps, but appropriating somebody else's living culture, misinterpreting it, then flaming the people that actually represent that culture, isn't flattering.

Embracing your heritage is pointless as far as I'm concerned. Where your ancestors lived has zero impact on who you are now, other than benefits gained by generational wealth. Beyond grandparents, who can influence your life... everything else is just a curiosity and history. You can't take credit for who they were, and you can't take blame for who they were.

Work. Some people just make it their whole life and I don't get it. Work to live, don't live to work. My workplace's normal business hours are 8:30 - 5:00, but I'm constantly hearing people say s**t like "when I was working on it this weekend" or talk about how they work so late, it makes me cringe.
It makes me wonder if they're avoiding something else in their life. Like being at the office is better than being at home.
She explained to us that it’s not unusual for people to focus their attention on one thing, like a goal or interest. The professor explains why it happens, “When you get absorbed in a goal, it can be like a flow state, where everything else can disappear while one becomes pleasantly engrossed in what they are doing.”
When you get into something with high concentration, “Other thoughts and feelings that are irrelevant to the topic get automatically inhibited. This can be adaptive because it facilitates goal progress and freedom from distractions and conflicts. When people do this well, they get a lot of enjoyment out of it.”
Astrology. The only full moon presiding over me is my own bare a**.
I find it fun but that's about it. Every personality can be associated to anyone born at any time of the year.
Brands. People think chosing a brand of clothing speaks lota about them.
Depending on the level of absorption, this kind of state may be either beneficial to a person or interfere with their normal life. Dr. Denise Marigold reveals what positive and negative results it can bring, “Absorption in a goal or interest may also serve as a way to get relief from unwanted thoughts and feelings. If people are doing this to block out awareness of unwanted thoughts and feelings, they also tend to lack awareness of the effects their behavior has on others around them (e.g., how boring and lonely it can be for others to be around them when they have gone to their obsessive ‘happy place’).“
Some fans are kinda scary. Their whole life becomes dedication to a celebrity’s. And it’s not just their personality, they make everything around them about that person. Posters, music, merchandise, weird things bought on the internet—supposedly with relation to the subject of their obsession—and so on.
I can’t imagine being close to somebody before and after their transition into that life. It seems like it’d be scary…
I think the title should really say "obsessive fans". You can be a fan of a celebrity without being frightening. I am a fan of David Tennant. I've never met the man, but I do enjoy whatever I see him in, and it will influence whether or not I watch something if he is one of the stars.
Being sick/ sickly. I've always had very poor health, and in high school and early college, as my conditions worsened, I didn't like that I couldn't live a "normal" life, so I kind of leaned into it. Always joked about how sickly I was while secretly hating myself for not being able to "keep up" with my peers. Some maturing and some guidance from my mother has helped me to learn that, yes, poor health sucks, and yes, I can't always do the things that healthy people can, but that doesn't have to control my identity. Doing far better now, learning what my true limits are and how to work with them!
Some people might get annoyed that there is nothing else to talk about with that person because they will force the same topic on you. You will have to deal with that by assessing the situation and your relationship with that person.
Dr. Denise Marigold suggests that “In some relationships you might feel comfortable being completely honest and direct and saying something like ‘It’s nice that you are enthusiastic about that! Unfortunately it’s not something I can really get into. Because it’s hard for me to engage in that topic and feel connected with you, I find myself losing interest quickly.’ If you feel the need to be less direct, you can still aim to validate their interest while steering the conversation towards other topics you can both engage in.”
Being a badass in school. Like giving teachers a day of hell just cuz they’re “real” and say what they think without filtering it
LOL This is such a phase. I was like this for a year in a Bart Simpson sort of way.
So if someone is really focused on a particular interest, it’s just their happy place and they feel comfortable and passionate talking about it. Also, if you get bored of talking about it or listening to it, there are nice ways to try and explain to the person without making them feel like they are a boring interlocutor.
HERBALIFE. having to literally explain to people that it’s an MLM is so frustrating. They prey on small towns, create “nutrition shops” that sell $9 shakes when it’s literally just Herbalife and is helping the owner barely break even.
Happened in my small town, then out of nowhere 3 other “branches” popped up in the revolving small towns. (Which basically means the owner conned 3 more into joining so that they can get their profit). There’s a documentary out there called like One in a Million or something that breaks down the pyramid and how little people at the bottom are actually making. They also show that the shakes are nothing more than liquid laxative, so of COURSE you’re losing weight.
Also, keto.
Herbalife is "nothing more than liquid laxative"? Which means, one is only losing water. That's not healthy - and, people still buy them.🙈

I think you are confusing interest with personality. Personalities are more than your interest.
Add this to the list: complaining about people's life choices, passions, personalities etc.
So... You can't be what you want to be. This list is toxic. People who contribute to crap like this are usually guilty of the thing they're trying to vilify.
I know, this list made me pretty sad. People just want to find a place to belong. I don’t particularly care about any of this stuff but it makes me paranoid to care about anything.

Rabid fandom. I love anime but no longer feel comfortable admitting it because of these incel douchebags who just watch shonen,get into hentai ,waifus , all that bs.

But say I'm into Japan and the immediate assumption is the stereotypical otaku loser clichés
People with fursonas have a similar problem. Most folks seem to think that being a furry equals being a sexually active deviant. A lot of furries would prefer sexuality to not be part of the culture at all. Similar goes for some Christian's and vegetarians; they keep it to themselves because otherwise people make negative assumptions about them, based on the noisiest and judgiest. It sucks when you have to hide your likes and interests and beliefs because others make negative assumptions about you.

Absolutely!! One thing I find even worse is when they self-diagnose because they think they show symptoms for certain illnesses just to justify their actions...

I don't think I embody any of these things. Except that maybe people in Manhattan should realize they are in a state, not a, state
Ok, but in the title should be "some Americans" or "sime americanized west Europeans", because this has nothing ti do with "people" of this world.
One biggy not on the list is: Getting ones life information from Facebook only; never reading books, studies, experiencing life by experiencing it directly......
Or Vegan/Vegetarians-or they insist on calling Vegetarian foods 'bacon/hamburgers/sausages etc.. then of course the Oat/almond/rice "milk". It's NOT MILK! Just like people that buy those horrible dessert looking drinks from Starbucks and argue that's its their 'coffee'. No,.it's a dessert and most don't even contain coffee. Then of course gluten/dairy free cakes etc. They are not cakes by definition-no flour, eggs, sugar, milk.. Just because you shape something like a cake, doesn't mean it's a cake. By that definition every sandcastle would technically be a cake..amongst other things
So uh, a hot dog is a dog, right? And baby back ribs are from... babies? Right? Don't be a twat. They shoulda put triggered meat eaters on this list. You all sure are miserable. Don't worry your bacon or steak will be along shortly.

Please try to remember that some of these can be autistic special interests or ADHD hyperfixations. Particularly fans of traditionally "nerdy" things like Dr. Who or Harry Potter. A lot of "horse girls" and "Disney adults" fall into this category. In my teens & early 20s I got made fun of A LOT for my hyperfixation. It really screwed up my self esteem.
I thought religion would be on this list for sure. I'm begging all of you...instead of constantly talking and posting about it just show us...by being a good and loving person.
you forgot audiophiles, high def video enthusiasts, sports/esports, orthorexics/vegans, bicyclists, BDSM carnies, folks who mistake gender/sexuality for personality and tattoo/piercing attention-whores. also i always use this old saying; "if you have to make yourself SEEM interesting, you aren't."
Based on your other comments as well as upvoting sexist, anti-LGBT comments on other bored panda pages, it sure looks like your dominant personality trait is misogyny & hating equality. Sad.

Nobody's afraid to mention it. But you just told on yourself. Shoo fly.

i’m sorry if this sounds offensive, because it’s not supposed to be and im bi myself, but, being lgbtq. i get that you should have pride in who you are, but making ur whole personality about being gay is really annoying to me, and it can be toxic to someone who is closeted and has homophobic parents/gaurdians
Thanks! My dad "suddenly" turned gay after 23 years of marriage and 7 kids. He was so over the top (gaining an accent, gay movies/stars, flashing pics of men kissing at an 8year old's birthday) it made me sick. I had to analyze was it the homosexual part (theiving and lying boyfriends), or just him. It was him... turns out I wasn't homophobic at all.
Load More Replies... Children-having them or not. Making everything about either is just annoying. You love your kids? Me, too! But I have a whole bunch of other things! And no one cares if you don't want to have kids. After an hour with you talking about how you don't have kids, we all agreed you shouldn't have them. Don't tell people their life is less because they do or do not have children (whichever matches your narrow view of the world).
If one person agreed with all 35 of these they'd probably be the most bitter m**o on Earth.
Most of these are phases that I went through during ages 13-23 approximately. Lol Most of us act pretty insufferable at least a few times throughout our lives.
They also forgot people.who treat owning or liking dogs as a literal lifestyle.

I think you are confusing interest with personality. Personalities are more than your interest.
Add this to the list: complaining about people's life choices, passions, personalities etc.
So... You can't be what you want to be. This list is toxic. People who contribute to crap like this are usually guilty of the thing they're trying to vilify.
I know, this list made me pretty sad. People just want to find a place to belong. I don’t particularly care about any of this stuff but it makes me paranoid to care about anything.
Load More Replies... Anyone who gives off the perception they only have one dimension is going to come across as boring, I don't think it makes that much a difference what that one dimension is about, only that they don't have more than one of them.
I hate it when people also make their mental illnesses their personalities, or have a vague symptom of one and immediately jump to conclusions and make THAT their personality
There is also "guns/hunting". Some people just looooove to talk about killing machines and killing stuff. ugh.
theres also prepping, which our father is guilty of but is infact cutting down on it
Load More Replies... Rabid fandom. I love anime but no longer feel comfortable admitting it because of these incel douchebags who just watch shonen,get into hentai ,waifus , all that bs. I love japanese culture but not ninjas,samurai,swords ect. I love edo period art , poetry , architecture , folklore and shinto. But say I'm into Japan and the immediate assumption is the stereotypical otaku loser clichés
People with fursonas have a similar problem. Most folks seem to think that being a furry equals being a sexually active deviant. A lot of furries would prefer sexuality to not be part of the culture at all. Similar goes for some Christian's and vegetarians; they keep it to themselves because otherwise people make negative assumptions about them, based on the noisiest and judgiest. It sucks when you have to hide your likes and interests and beliefs because others make negative assumptions about you.
Load More Replies... People (mostly 10 year old girls on tiktok) making mental illnesses their entire personality :/. Now i'm a little guilty of this, as when i first found our system, we would tell everyone, but after a while it get really hard to life with voices in your head (106 for us). Same thing with tourettes fakers, as us being clinically diagnosed, it is really heartbreaking to see these little kids do it for attention.
Absolutely!! One thing I find even worse is when they self-diagnose because they think they show symptoms for certain illnesses just to justify their actions... It just makes me so angry to see people acting as if it is "trendy" to have a mental illness because they don't talk about the negative effects it can have on somebody's life
Load More Replies... Believing Facebook is real life, and I only say that because I know a couple people that feel that way.
No way, sick people don't have much of personality other than being sick when they basically can't do anything? So shocking, so weird! Most of my interests have faded away because I can't pursue them, I live in constant pain which messed up my mind. When people talk about things they're doing, I have nothing to say, my train left long ago leaving me behind.
