I occasionally put my foot in my mouth

I'm though of as self-centered for all the wrong reasons

I give unsolicited advice and personal info

I've done a lot of careless things.

I do some careless things.

I don't have the greatest control with money

I can easily over-react

I've cut some good people out of my life.

Sooooo What!

Ditto everything you said and about 100 other things I could probably add to the list but your right Soooo What! We've lived a little Had some good times mixed in with some bad times. No use to any of us to go around beating ourselves up! Love the attitude! A reminder for me to lighten up!

I laugh and make jokes at the most inappropriate times.

I sing really loudly and really off key while walking my dog at 4 in the morning when my neighbors party past my bedtime - Cause I'm happy.

I think I am invisible sometimes. When it's really bad my car becomes invisible too.

I still shamelessly flirt with most men I encounter. Doesn't matter how old, anywhere between 2 and 98.

I am considered self-centered, too. I try to help my family understand why my illnesses and problems are so much bigger than everyone else - because they are MINE.

I've cut some bad people out of my life. The worst ones I just chop them up and feed them to the pigs.

I let all the phones in the house go dead and leave them that way for days

I hide in the hallway when the Jehovah Witness' come a calling.

I drive my car too fast then flirt with the police that stop me. I have about a dozen warnings but never a ticket.

I do shop, shop, shop.

Soooo What, too!

I'm selfish, self-centered, self-absorbed
Incapable of taking "no" for an answer
Clumsy like mad - destructively so, esp when manic
Spend, spend, spend
Think waaaaay too much about how to change my head with substances
Utterly unreliable with keeping appts and commitments
Tend to drop people when they get too close
Consume myself with guilt instead of seeking forgiveness
Easily annoyed by noises/voices/crowds (real or in my head)

I burned an awful lot of bridges down on Social Media.
I acted like a perv when I was a Teenage Boy.
I spend most of my time browsing the Internet.
I get involved with full-blown rows with Gran when I drive her anywhere.
I have old Internet conversations going on in my head.
I have been unwilling to work.

But that's just the way I am. :)
