50 People Share Confessions About Their Worst Personality Traits And You Might Relate

This is me 100% :D

Yes, I speak my mind so much I feel like it's off putting.

I tell people right away that I don't have a filter and will say what come from my other person inside of me. Then when I say some thing I use a straight face and a mono tone voice. Shocks people and then they laugh. It took me a long time to come to terms with my big mouth.

i don't even have to be excited to overshare; i'm truly an open book

Likewise!

I'm right there with you. Being on the phone often makes me anxious and uncomfortable. I find the ringing of a phone comparable to somebody yelling "SPEAK TO ME NOW, SPEAK TO ME NOW, SPEAK TO ME NOW!!" - until you answer them

Especially now, with all the telemarketers spoofing numbers. Local area code aside, if I don't recognize the number, I don't answer. If it's important, they'll leave a message.

Most of the time .

I only answer mine for work and family

Honestly, same.

I know someone who says the same things over and over and over again. I feel like screaming "We know! We know!"

I often think that I just thought something in my head, so I repeat it out loud. Turns out I didn't think it, but said it.

I've come to realize that it's just a part of a long-term relationship and mostly pretend that I'm hearing the story for the first time. Only when my boyfriend tells me the same one in like...a close period of time I ask him not to. :)

I do this, too, to the point where I start stuff with, "I don't know if I told you this already, but..."

I don't forget that I told someone I just forget who that someone was

This just sounds like a really nice person - Although I sometimes do similar things especially when hosting, it comes from a combination of wanting people to enjoy a get-together without worrying about anything and a crushing need for people to like me. But hey, we all have our insecurities right...RIGHT?!

... And why do you think people are annoyed by that?

Not annoying, more like thoughtful and caring. Go you!

Wow. Were you a swiss army knife in a previous life or something? :) I'd love to have a friend like you.

Well, people wouldn't get too drunk if you didn't buy 5 times the required amount of beer... But hey, you're extremely well organised, how could that annoy anyone?

I honestly feel many of these traits are emblematic of people who are actually quite gentle, introspective and kind. That being the case, ill happily manage these kinds of idiosyncrasies if it means being self aware and avoiding a delusional idea of myself that isn't shared by the people around me.

This is definitely me, I apologize for almost everything. One time a girl opened her top-locker and all of her books fell out onto my head, and I immediately said "I'm sorry!" My friends still laugh about that XD

So far, I have 8 out of 9 of these bad traits (and of course, the one that is actually good, is the trait I don't have). I should go to bed.

Omg yes I say sorry more than a hundred times a day at work it annoys the s**t out of people

Im not even trying to understand.

we have a saying like "sarcasm is like electricity, half of India doesn't get it"

I feel you. Totally sarcastic with a straight face. No fun when you have to explain you weren't serious. I often come across as b****y or a smartass when I don't mean to. Luckily my close friends and family know me :)

I am sarcastic 99% of my life, people who dont know me too well have to work out if im serious or not a lot of the time, i don't really like people and get told i have a moody resting face so sarcasm just goes well i think.

i have a friend who's like that and that's one of the perks i find in him honestly

Happens to me too. If it's in text I always have to think if it's clear enough if it's a joke or sarcasm or if I should add something to make it clearer and what to add, or if I should simply delete the whole thing (or not write it in the first place). Sometimes it's frustrating, especially if for me it's obvious enough that I made a joke (considering the context and everything), but someone else thinks I was being serious (or maybe knows I was joking but still acts as if I was being serious).

For me, eye contact is awkward if the person is standing too close.

I don't understand how a person can grow up and not learn the basic rules of making eye contact in their respective cultures. Some cultures value eye contact much more than others. Many European cultures value a steady gaze while among Navajos eye contact is considered rude.

This is so me.

Yeah we all have friends like this, you give a simple hello and they start a full story about what they have been doing or something completely irrelevant , sometimes i just want a simple minimal conversation.

Ugh, this is me, too. Then I realize I babbled over the person and ignored them. It's awful.

I wouldn't find you annoying - we have the same problem. Even my husband thinks I'm one-upping him but I am doing the same thing you are - trying to show him that I can relate to what he's saying.

Thank you. I do the same but never knew why and it all makes sense now.

I kinda relate to this as well. But I think it's because I was one of the bullied kids. I try to remind myself I'm just being irrational every time my mind goes astray. In my case, it helps. Guess I'm not a too extreme of an example.

Every little hello, or smile, or word, I always take as some form of "I don't like you" or "I don't like what you're wearing" etc. It makes me glad to know that there are other people in similar situations, and you should know that you're not alone, too.

Believe you're right.

I am an old guy who has felt this way his entire life. I deal with it, especially at work, by one simple trick. I act like everyone else. I act like I care less than I do. I act like I don't worry about unspoken things. And after a while it becomes a habit and I ease up on myself.

UGH--so me. I'm so terrified of losing this job I've only been at for a year, if my boss doesn't say "HI" to me when she says it to everyone else, I instantly panic.

This is one thing i have worked on over the years, i have a habit of talking over people, especially when drunk, i know its annoying and i have all but stopped doing it, i have to think "listen until the end of the sentence, listen until the end of the sentence". People have done it me so i know its annoying. First step is to recognise your flaws.

OMG! I ALREADY display #1!! This aint gonna be good folks! LMAO!

relate to this

this is really hard to deal with. lots of practice in the self control department! i read this somewhere: "we don't listen to listen, we listen to reply" or something like that. i constantly have to remind myself of this, especially since i can be very chatty

I'm afraid this applies to me as well. Until someone opens up to me.

This is me to a fault, my wife says i'm cold to most people, i don't even know im doing it.

on the opposite side, i've been known to interject a friendly/funny comment in passing if someone is speaking loud in a public place. damn, i'm annoying...
