Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

What in the world am I doing? Should I even bother typing this? Who even reads my Journal anyway? *sigh* Well, I'm doing it anyway.
Right now, I feel like going on about the Pro's and Con's of my personality. My suggestion, if you're not interested, stop here. I wouldn't want to be a bother.

PRO'S
~I'm easy to talk to. I'm the kind of person who can literally listen to every problem you've ever had in your life and try to help you sort them out.
~I'm patient. It takes a lot to upset me, most of the time. I can take a lot of bullshit, and I often do it with a smile upon my face.
~I'm intelligent. I tend to bare at least some knowledge in most departments, but I'm not ashamed to admit when I don't. However, if I find an intrest in something, Alchemy, for example, I'll do enough research to learn a lot about it.
~I know how to deal with people in my age group. I've made it a point to understand why people my age behave the way they do, and in doing so I've learned how to cope with their immaturity, and lessen my own.
~I'm creative. Under most circumstances, I can find a way to entertain myself and others, and I've made a useful connection with my subconcious mind. This talent shines through mostly in my writing, but also in drawing and other forms of art.
~I'm forgiving. You can decide for yourself whether this is a Pro or a Con, I personally consider it both. I find it nearly impossible to hold a grudge, even against someone who's truly done me wrong. "Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else. You are the one who get's burned." --Buddah. The irony in this, however, is that, if it were one of my closest friends who had been wronged, I would carry the grudge to my deathbed.
~I'm sympathetic. If I know you have a valid reason for doing something, I'm likely to defend you.
~I deal with other people's sadness well. One emotion I'm used to dealing with is depression. I can usually find a way to make someone feel better.
~Through all of my easy-going personality traits, I still know when to defend myself. Violence is a last resort, but only because I know that words are a lot more painful than punches.

CON'S
~I'm overly insecure. If I'm critisized by someone close to me, I immediatly take it to heart, even if it was said in jest.
~I get depressed easily. Little things, like sad songs, certain flowers, and people saying some little things can upset me for days.
~I take too many things personally. A tiny little insult can be blown totally out of proportion.
~I'm a little too laid back. Things like low grades, arguments, and such have little impact on me.
~If I'm having a bad day, I'm likely to only view the negative sides of things. Everything goes downhill from there.
~I'm intimidated by anger and pain. If someone close to me is in a lot of physical pain or is very angry, I don't know how to respond to it.
~I'm overly-forgiving. If someone has done me wrong, even broken my heart, I'll forgive them for it in time. Whether this is good or bad is up to you.
~I find it difficult to express my true emotions. I've come to find that if I'm openly in a bad mood, the people around me either adopt the bad mood, or attack me with attempts to improve it. A lot of times, to prevent both scenarios, I fake a smile and deal with it on my own.
~I oftentimes find myself dwelling too much on things I thought I let go. It's one of those things no one really sees, because I don't say anything about it, but there are a lot of things that remind me of the past, and I frequently have to force myself to push them out of my mind.
~I'm manipulative. This is another one of those traits that rarely shows itself and is hard to be spotted by others, but I've certainly proved, at least to myself, that I can manipulate people into doing what I want.
~Though I know when to defend myself, a lot of times I choose not to. My reasons for this are unknown to me at this time.

Well, that's all I have at this point. If you have anything to add, let me know. If you have any negative comments, please write them down, wad the paper, and shove the paper in the most disguesting part of your body you can think of. Thank you!!~ 4laugh
