At times, we have traits that help us to be distinguished as the person we are, the character that we build. But sometimes, these traits, no matter how positive they are, tends to be our weakness as well.
Over the years, being too trustinghas been my trait as well as my weakness, which often times led me to become a victim to those who just took advantage. I won't go into details, but these people became very special to me, the ones who became closest to my heart - only to find out that once trusted, they have some ulterior motives and before I knew it, they already walked out of my life.
I mean to learn from those mistakes. But here I am again, afraid of the consequences but still not sure why I don't have the courage to fight the urge to trust somebody so much....
I know that some of you also hate something about your characteristics or trait. For what ever reason, please share. Thank you!

There you go! Good for you. Why do I have the feeling that you always wake up at the right side of your bed?

I can be insensitive at times especially to women. There are times where i'd say words that are hurtful. I hate it but i just can't stop. Example: back then, there was a female friend who keeps asking me when will i get a job. I told her "you don't have to worry because you're not my girlfriend and i don't plan on marrying you." Since then we never talk. See how a jerk i can be? Sometimes i would blurt out sarcasms after sarcasms until they're so mad at me which i seem to enjoy. Now i'm trying not to say anything if i couldn't say anything good at all. I'm extending my patience too. I've lost a lot of female friends already. Lol!

That's harsh! Have you tried befriending that female friend again? Maybe she does not have any bad intention of asking you...

While it's good to have a thinking brain, i tend to overdo it at times and think and let my mind go astray, jumping to unwanted scenarios and conlusions at times. Further more it makes me react unwantedly at times, and that is when i get to detest this characterestic.

I really appreciate your honesty, alokn. Your response proves that our deepest fear at times is that of being spontaneous... and leading the heart speak up instead of the head... then drown with the consequences thereafter...

Hello margaux08! I guess what I hate most about me is the way I deliver my words maybe. I mean, sometimes, I am saying words and that I am not aware someone got offended or that I am not aware that I become sarcastic. I want to change it and I know it's hard..hehehe

Haha! I can relate. My sisters and brothers are all like that. Probably it's how we hear words used by elder people and how they say it while growing up. So when I got married, my husband asked me to play down a little bit in terms of the "jokes" or "words" that I use. He tells me this every so often... that how I play with words may be okay with me...but not okay with everybody.
I guess he's more afraid now that our twin daughters are growing up because they have their attitudes and characters adapted more from me than from him.

Hi lovetobeme,
Thank you for the response. Even if you're a non stop talker, if what you say is sensible, then that's cool!

i think i hate that i worry so much, i care so much that it already affecting my health. I worry so much, that it destroy my mind, if i start to worry a lot of things coming to my mind which makes me think of worse things to happen. Like when my boyfriend is sick, i am already worrying that what if he will die today. I hae this, i like to erase worries away.
happy mylotting!

Hi there iamsolucky,
Apply moderation at all times. It will definitely help you to live life in a balance. Life is full of surprises. Embrace every bit of it. Do not be anxious of something that is not yet happening.
I'm sure your boyfriend doesn't want you to entertain negative thoughts. Life is good!

for me, i'm too nice. it's nice too be nice but sometimes i am so nice that i get pushed over easily. its hard for me to say "no" because i do like helping people out. but sometimes, i tire myself out by helping others constantly. i should be aware of my well being and if i'm tired to do anything, i must start saying "no" when someone asks me for help

I read from somewhere that being nice to others is healthy. But bring too nice to others is dangerous to one's health. It may sound like a joke but the underlying factor remains true... that being so nice to others to the point of others taking advantage of you, will leave you emotionally devastated.
Thank you for sharing!
