Been thinking today
I have been thinking a lot about my personality traits today. Picking apart my good traits and bad parts. Here is what I was looking at. Some of my Good Traits: Loyal (I have never left a friend in need and I try to always be there for the people I care about). Affectionate (I always have told people how I feel about them and I was always one to get hugs and kisses whenever I could).Persistant (I never give up).Aggressive (I usually know what I want in life and I will go after it...sometimes for better or for worse).Thoughtful (I would always try to do nice little things for the people I cared about and I enjoy christmas shopping because I try to find the most thoughtful gifts...normally I hate shopping).Logical (This is the odd combination for me because I am both emotional and Logical...I will always think things through and analyze them).Emotional (I will usually react first with emotions and then with logic). Bad Traits: Needy (I need constant assurance that I am doing a good job)Clingy (I like to stay with what I know and I don't like to venture out far from it)Misunderstood (Sometimes my best intentions are percieved wrong by the way I come off...I really don't know how to work on this but it is all in presentation).Anxious (I worry about everything but I am working on that.....I hate the unknown).Low self Confidence (this relates to needy and clingy) Neither Good or Bad: Serious (I am serious about everything I do if I care about it and I see it through....If I don't care about it sometimes I don't do it as good as I should). All of these traits has had a direct effect on every relationship that I have had (though I haven't really had that many because I always have been in long-term relationships). Really looking at those things makes me realize what I want out of life.

What a great post! I think this is such a healthy process to acknowledge and own fully who we are, good and bad. Good for you!
Isn\'t it amazing how much \'thinking\' we do when we\'re on a drive, walk, etc.?
Joel Olsteen said this morning that we should all pat ourselves on the back more often. Forget about the bad, the wrong, always think about the good, the right! (yes, I watched him this morning. I like what he has to say!)
So, good for you for listing the good, but forget about the bad! Keep training on the good, and all will be well. I believe that:)
You are so many good traits. Someday you will find a wonderful woman who will be so thankful for you.
I thought this was a great entry....So what do you want out of life?
I am impressed with your ability to really \'see\' yourself. If we can take these bad time and use them for self reflection, then we can come out with a knowledge that will help in the future.
I wonder sometimes if the needy/clingy trait would be present if we were with someone who truly cared about us and saw us for who we were not who they wanted us to be.... something to ponder
Have a great day
Sounds exactly like me.
