Eidolon Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 A much harder question than the dislike thread but you gotta exercise the old self esteem or it shrivels so…I feel like I have a pretty high level of empathy and I always make myself available when friends or family need support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted January 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2022 Taking a slight tangent on this, I often wonder what personality traits I inherited from my parents. My Dad's good points: He had a strong sense of social justice, and he had an intelligent and enquiring mind, despite having had only a rudimentary formal education. His bad points: He was irritable and short-tempered (although never violent), and he wasn't particularly sociable outside the family. My Mum's good points: She was highly sociable, and enormously kind and generous. Her bad points: She could be emotionally manipulative, and was capable of nursing a grudge (sometimes over a quite trivial issue) for years. Naturally, I believe (OK, hope!) that I've inherited the good bits of both, and not the bad bits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Ability to make friends and talk to people I'm laid back (if you asked my wife I'm too laid back...) with a wide variety of interests so I can usually get on with people @mjmooney the way you describe your mom we could be brothers... I think that manipulator aspect leans in to the ability to read people which I think I have a little of and helps with the above but my dad is where I get my laid backness from, don't think I've ever seen my dad give a shit about anything, positive or negative, he's the epitome of happy go lucky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted January 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) I think these two threads could be usefully merged. And here's a thought: If you ask these two questions to an audience of men and women, I'd wager that the women would instinctively reply about their physical features, and the men about their personality traits. (The tiny, and skewed, VT sample would appear to bear this out). Edited January 23, 2022 by mjmooney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chrisp65 Posted January 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2022 Offing off Mooney’s contribution, my mother’s side of the family are in a perpetual squabble of rolling grudges that have lasted decades. Very early on, maybe mid teens I decided that was not the life for me. Over the course of a year or two i told everyone I wouldn’t be involved in taking sides, I wouldn’t be involved in petty shit. By the time I was 20 they’d all of them crossed a line in some way or another so I dropped them out of my life, Nan, aunties, nephews and nieces a whole chunk of family. Those awful people you all moan about on facebook. I’m still perfectly civil to them at a family ‘do’, but I minimise contact and I stop dead when conversation heads towards gossip. It’s worked, I’m a happy person and my kids are happy. But I know from my mum, that half of the family are as much arseholes now, as they were in the 80’s. I made a good call, I stuck to it, me, my wife and kids have all benefitted from it. I’ve done the same with friends, if someone proves to be a negative, they’re gone. Life is too short to have people in your life that aren’t a net positive. Everyone can have a bad time, need help, make a wrong choice. I’m good with that and I’m probably in that group myself. I’m currently trying to help a mate who’s really struggled with social stuff due to lockdowns. I’ve got all the time in the world for that. But people thatdon’t contribute to the group, they are gone. To a lesser extent I do VT the same way, someone perpetually comes across as the sort of person I don’t like being around, pop ‘em on ignore. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a fairly run of the mill regular dumbass. Celebrate it. Being a regular Joe is under rated. Not a creep, not pumped on ‘roids, not vindictive or sly, not money grabbing, not a tory. There’s a lot of positives in there. I regularly describe myself as vanilla, and people mistake that for a put down. I **** love vanilla, its a good fit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I am fairly extrovert, feel comfortable around strangers and am happy to talk to anyone. My mate is the same and our wives say it's because we are both ex redcoats and every day we essentially had to do this as part of our jobs.
