Yourself?
Do you have this moments when you discover that one of those things that you like about yourself, is the same thing that people do not like about you?
Maybe you are stubborn? Maybe you do like to state your mind no matter what, maybe you just like your taste in clothes, and other's things that you are a bit koko.
So what is this thing that you like about yourself
That others do not like about you?

I am proud of being very stubborn. Once I have made up my mind, I rarely and I mean rarely change my mind. This could make a person trying to change my mind very upset.

for me, i am too discipline and too organised... i want everything to work in order and perfect... i don't like disruption or surprises... this suits well with me... but when i deal with people, they just can't tolerate my 'perfectsionism' and they say i have to give some allowance for disruption and unexpected events...

I don’t listen to peoples “advice”…..I do it all my way…I learned hard way not to fallow good and bad advice…my way is always the best way if related to my life..
I don’t let other people to design my life…
I am similar like mihimolly…:) ….many people don’t like independent thinking and working…

im stubborn, honest and i like it to work. that was not well seen from others, because i didnt participate in their blabbling about others and so on. i was called arrogant, because of that. but i rather work for the money i get, than talking and cheating the company. plus i always fight for the poor, minorities, races and so on. that is not appreciated in certain "groups" lol. but i feel much better doing that, than the other way

Hello,liranlgo,honestly i do not know what other people think about me,at least i have not heard that they have said something bad about me or they are doign it at my back when i do not know.
I like myself as I think I am an easy going woman,but I am not sure whether other people like an easy going lady or not.

Oh yes without a doubt my stubbornness! I actually think it's one of my strong points but my housemate and me have argued so many times about me digging my heels in and being so damn pig headed and resolute. I would rather cut my nose off to spite my face than give in and being a typical true Taurean I'm definitely stubborn to the core.

the thing i like about myself is i speak my mind. i dont allow anyone to sleep over at my flat as it is only a 1 bedroom pad. my boyfriend moans as he always wants his cousin to stay but then that takes me out of the living room when this man wants to sleep and i wont allow it because it is my flat too and i should have a say in the rules we have. also i should not have to move out my living room for someone else who has got their own house 2 sleep. you get me dont you

I get along with anybody as for the way I dress well it's me I like to dress like the 70's style's I might be stubborn at times Since I am around my 40's I still dress like I was when I was younger and don't want to dress like old people I have made that commitment years ago that I will not dress like that and if people don't like the way I dress well I am sorry. but I have noticed older people still wear jeans and t- shirts too.

This is feedback from one person, and I am not sure if all people think likewise. I like to keep quiet and not talk when I am not in the mood to talk. People do not like my this habit but I am pretty comfortable with it. In actual fact, I assess the situation. If my "presence" is required, I will open my mouth to donate my few cents.

I think that the main thing is I don't often talk about my problems, and my wife hates it. I just like to sort things out myself if I can. She doesn't like the fact that she tells me when things are bothering her, but when the shoe is on the other foot, I don't always do the same.

what i like about myself that others do not like about it is that when i tell them what i do not like about them. for me telling them is helping them improve theirselves. but like my brother, he doesnt want me telling him that smoking is not the right thing to do. he wants me just to stop telling me about it. for me i like it telling him those things because i care for him, but sometimes he doesnt want what i tell him.

I guess someone else saw this discussion and brought it up to the top of your list. It is an interesting topic...and so even though you posted it 3 months ago I'd like to add to it anyway.
What I have noticed that I like about myself that some people do not...is that I speak my mind and expect others to do the same...but they often cannot or will not and that can create problems on both sides. Over the years I am less pushy with it than I once was...but people who know me well have come to accept that I will address conflicts and challenges when things come up. If I hear that people are talking behind my back rather than coming directly to me...I call them on it...and a lot of people do not like that either.
I do my best to walk my talk and do expect those who call themselves close friends to do the same. In my work there is a strong need to create emotional safety for people and I have been told that it is something that I do. So with that as a given...I cannot fathom why people say they will communicate authentically and do not...within my inner circle. Thankfully I have a close circle of soul community connections that where that usually occurs. It is with newer people who have difficulty in taking responsibilty for their personal issues that often end up not liking my approach.
I do understand people do not like to risk open, genuine communication in the beginning and I respect that. Better to say nothing that talk out of both sides of your mouth and claim to be speaking the truth. That is something I will address. If and when people cannot handle my approach they usually do not stay around or try to be friends anyway...and that is fine with me. I'd rather have a few close, reliable, honest, open relationships with people of integrity than a whole bunch of people who wear masks and play mind games. So that is my offering on the one thing that some people do not like about me...but that I do like in myself.
Good discussion...reminds me how important it is to be discerning in who we invite into our lives on a deeper level. Thanks for that!

i think, i am bit of a stubborn type who would not settle for less than perfect. i would not call it a day unless i am complete with my priorities, i would not settle for okay things, it just has to be perfect, bang on dot. obviously, i quite like this, its very much satisfying. however, my friends and colleagues are just irritated with this and constantly complaining about what a freak am i!!
on a lighter note, i am a cleaniless freak and would freak out everyone around on sundays. thsi kind of annoys my family and friends. my friends feel they lose out on me for this..LOL..
aren't they sweet!!
