List what your strengths and faults as a person are, not just what people have told you but what you can see yourself. When listing strengths don't feel like you are being arrogant, if it is something people have told you and you can sense yourself then your probably damn right it is a strength and your going to be faulting yourself so don't hold back on either.
Once we have all listed these we can give each other advice and who knows it might end up getting deeper than that. Just feel like a more personal topic because sometimes the more mundane topics can get boring. Not too personal mind.
My strengths
- Funny person, I know this because I can meet new people and have them in stitches or walk to a party and entertain, I'd say I'm highly charismatic
- Passionate person, I am very loving and caring and passionate. I don't like seeing people in distress and can sympathise. I also show a lot of affection to my love interest.
- I have a lot of patience with people and will listen and try resolve anyone's problems
- I often give people very similar to me the same advice and make them feel better although this is a fault in the sense that when that is returned I shut out the advice and act like I have no excuses and I'm just a bad person
- Easy to talk to
- I never get on people's backs or criticise people on a day to day basis, I just have my bad days
- When I'm on a high I am the most optimistic person ever and so cheerful
- I have this ambition to go help people less fortunate
- I am always up for anything at any time
- I will often help people out e.g. carry their shopping, help them move in to places with no thought of reward or anything personal to gain
- I have been underestimated by every teacher, every bully and every snob and I am still here proving them all wrong
- I know I smell damn good because I am a mad hygiene freak and where expensive cologne every day even if I am not going out
- A lot of the time I bite my lip and listen to people saying things that are incorrect but don't correct them because I hate being a smartass.
My faults
- I get highly depressive sometimes and also get a really guilty conscience all the time which sends me to despair
- I can never drop things like the past even if it is for my wellbeing
- I can be a real big attention seeker
- When I flip I can really flip and people literally don't want to be anywhere near me, what makes it worse is because I'm usually cracking out jokes so when I'm like this it really shakes people
- I don't know when to stop, like I can really nail into people till they break down and I'll keep going once I'm mad
- I literally can get so scared about the future I physically shake
- I get OCD about a lot of things
- If I get really depressed when drunk I can assault myself, before I have headbutted walls, punched myself and even once tried to choke myself once but was stopped and have been aggressive to others on occasion.
- I am a complete hater with some things, I rant on about things people do that I find retarded and get overly annoyed about it, this can sometimes be hypocritical as I will have done these things myself at some point
- Because I have the most overactive brain ever I can come across as stupid and do dopey things but when I'm at my dopiest is usually when mentally my mind is rushing.
- I can't forgive myself so have trouble forgiving others.
- Very clumsy.
On the odd days all these issues seem irrelevant and I feel damn happy. Other days I just struggle a lot.
The question is am I a good person or not? List your strengths and weaknesses and let's get a good discussion going here. What does it sound like I need to do to improve these areas? What areas do you feel you need to resolve?
It is interesting because on a forum these traits won't come out so much as everyone has their sort of mysterious agenda.

Strengths
-I tend not to procrastinate. When a project arises, I work like crazy until it gets done.
-I have a great eye for detail. This especially comes in handy when looking for things and with cleaning.
-I am usually good at making other people laugh. At me or with me--doesn't really matter.
-I love writing poetry and I have some skill with it.
-I'm very artistic and crafty. I'm good at making collages. I'm ok with drawing.
-I can be very self-sacrificing. I'll do just about anything to help out a friend or a family member. This could be seen as a strength or a weakness.
- I'm very independent and I work hard to pay for things on my own.
-I'm very open-minded and I try my best not to judge other people.
-I am a very giving person. I'm always giving things away to other people. (not sexually, you pervs)
-I genuinely enjoy having someone come to me with their problems and listening to them.
I like this topic.
Weaknesses
-I daydream excessively. I spend too much time imagining what life could be like and feeling disappointed with the way it really is. Constantly having my head in the clouds causes me to forget simple things--like what time to show up at work, haha.
-I'm self-conscious. I'm way too aware of myself and it's difficult for me to relax around most people. Comparing myself to others is a habit of mine.
-I'm not good at keeping in touch with friends. I can be too distant and lose touch very easily.
-I obsess and worry a good bit of the time. I am very introspective and may be slightly self-absorbed.
-If I'm not over analyzing a decision, I'm making stupid, impulsive ones.
-I have a habit of turning my anger towards others at myself.
-I have very strong opinions against certain things, which has kept me from experiencing new things.
-It's difficult for me to share personal things with others. I'd prefer to put my feelings into a poem.
-Even though I am open-minded and non-judgmental, I can't resist making fun of other people. C'mon...everyone's funny.
-I can't stand for someone to be mad at me, which is why I prefer to avoid confrontation.

Does anyone else practically get into embarrassing situations almost everyday or is it just me?
Oh well.
Oh well.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

Doesn’t it get awkward at times? I have noticed it usually happens around the area where other people are.

What do you mean by this? Is it an unavoidable situation or something that you feel is in your control?

It happens everywhere. Even in my own home. I was getting dressed the other day in my living room. (don't ask why) and I pulled my pants off and then realized that the window was wide open and I'd mooned some people outside.

It’s just simple things, like a domino effect of awkwardness. For instance, if I drop something whilst in a meeting, I’ll drop or smash into other things while in the process of retrieving that thing.
