my personality traits explained

Oct 16, 2010

i don't know who's actually gonna read this, but this is mostly for me & maybe someone else's spare time.  I know that it shouldn't be taken too seriously, but this will be interesting to pick it apart anyway.  Let's get on with it, for the 2 people out there who find this entertaining...

less compassionate
- sure, i think people should help others, but people should also be held more liable for their actions.  Some people have too much of an entitlement attitude, so i think this is why i get this label.

more relaxed - i agree wholeheartedly with this...i'm about the most laidback Taurus people have ever met.

more socially conservative - considering i live in Austin, this is prolly surprising...

more selfish - soooo, i don't believe in govt. handouts or handing out $$ to homeless on the street... although i just gave a woman a measly dollar today cuz she came up to me at a gas station with a sob story, i typically never do that because there are plenty of other places people can go for help with food, $$, children, abuse, home life, etc.  Plus a lot of people can't be trusted to help them all out anyway.  I'll donate to causes, or donate clothes, but that's where i draw the line.

less kinky - thanks (or no thanks) to this website, i feel quite sexually tame.  Are most people really that willing to try anything once??? & i do mean ANYTHING???  sorry, i gotta lay down some rules somewhere :-P

less moral
- 'breakin the lawwww, breakin the lawwww..." - no, i'm not an anarchist & think everyone should do whatever they want, but it's more along the lines of people should already know better between right & wrong so that others don't have to constantly enforce it... yes, i realize this is a very unrealistic ideal, but hey, i can dream.  & i actually think i have a lot more morals than this gives me credit for.

less loving - so maybe i want to get to know people first before putting all my love & trust in them???  this one stumps me, quite honestly...

more modern
- this one's pretty obvious... i grew up in the growing media, video game, eMpTV generation... so the 50's would prolly not be a good decade for me to be thrown in.

more pessimistic - well... like this needs any explanation, but seriously... when i created this username several years ago, it was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.  But now this just confirms it... i'm still not sure how i feel about this section advertising it for me, since no one's flat out told me i'm a pessimistic person.  People that get to know me well think i'm pretty darn nice & give positive advice (thanks, Mom).  With that said, i'm rather surprised my answers to these questions really leaves me THAT much more pessimistic than other users on here.  I don't suppose i'll ever find an answer to this question.

less trusting - so i don't like to talk to strangers on the street... isn't it better to be safe than sorry?  I'll smile at others who smile at me, but i won't go out of my way for strangers for my own personal safety.  If that's selfish, than so be it, but i don't see it that way.

less political - i DETEST politics because it's pretty darn depressing... but i'm finding myself leaning more & more right... so this will probably change, since this picture keeps disappearing & reappearing.

more arrogant - i really don't know where this comes from... I'm a musician, & to make it as a musician, you've gotta be as confident as possible... & practice a lot to make it thru the rat race.  This also makes a lot of us sort of loners to perfect our craft, which could unintentionally make us appear self-absorbed to outsiders, i dunno... overall, I'm a confident musician, but i don't think that automatically makes me an arrogant person.

more pure & spiritual - okaaaaaaay, so i'm a selfish, uncompassionate, unloving, arrogant person, & then it throws these 2 in there?????  for the record, i am religious, i practice yoga regularly, & i don't smoke... but i do eat meat & I like to drink *shrug*

more competitive - the only things i compete in regularly are musical related... but i've never been into competitive sports, & i'm not that sore of a loser when i play games.  Sure, we all have our moments, but i seriously won't break a pool stick just cuz i lose a game to someone.

 

so there... feel free to comment if you have something insightful to say, but if your comment is rude or insulting, it won't be added.
