If you could change one characteristic about you, what would it be and why?

when i was in high school,i like to used others to do my work..i mean not using them in a bad way,i like to ask them to help me pick my stuff..firstly it was like helping me..then i got carried away and i will ordered themm.maybe for the sake of frienshp they helped me but soon enough i realised that people are complaining about my attitude and i stopped..can;t say right away but now i'm not like that..but i'm afraid that i will be like that again.so i wanted to change for good.

I'd like to be more forgiving, have more compassion, and be less angry. Unfortunately all these traits I learned from my mother, who's a very sour, surly person who snaps over tiny little things. I am not quite as bad as she is, for the most part I can be understanding when minor things go wrong.. but catch me on a bad day and you'd better watch out.. and sadly I have bad days often. On the plus side I realize most of the time it's just me, not someone else causing me stress. So I guess I'm getting a little better.

I would be more open to having a relationship. I think I sabotage any new relationship since I was burned really bad once....and I've let that stop many relationships that might have worked out...but then again maybe something else was telling me it wrong....it hasn't gotten me in trouble but sometimes I do get lonely.

I want people to like me and I do the stupidest things to gain their approval. And now I have made someone very sweet and kind angry AGAIN because I wanted to be close and communicate with him for a time. I did a weird thing. And now I pay the price. It is all my fault and my chosing. I wish I had taken a different tack.

Hey Steph! That's a good question. I think that I have a few of those characteristic so I'm not sure which one I would like to change. The worst characteristic I have would be that I am probably too greedy! I just always want things that I can't have! I like things, not expensive things, just things! It could be something very simple, but I still can't afford it and I will buy it and be sorry because I didn't need it! I bought a vase with cats on it for $44 on Overstock.com! I couldn't afford it, didn't need it, but I wanted it so I charged it! Things like that! I think that is my worst characteristic. I also tend to judge people too quickly, but I am usually on the money with that!

If I could change one characteristic about myself it would be my habit of second guessing myself. I will come up with good ideas or plans, but if I wait too long to implement them, I begin second guessing myself. I begin worrying about all the possible negative consequences and then I begin to doubt myself. I just wish I could shut that part of my mind off or put it on mute for a few hours. :)

I'm trying to think about just one characteristic I'd like to change. Like which is the worst one I have? I guess it would be I wish I were more patient. Does that count? Sometimes I think I'm patient with people, and then something happens, and I fail and become impatient. And that is not a good example for me to set.

Alot of things! So many things like to bite me in the #ss and get me in trouble! My lack of self-confidence.being gullible,telling the truth,Trying to get everyone to understand me and having depression! The thing I need to worsk on the most is trying to stop trying to get people to understand me! I still have not figured out I why I do that! That is my worst characteristic!

if i can change my one of my characteristic then i will change the selfishness. selfish is one our bad characteristic which makes us feel jealousy by watching someone having many achievements.In my opinion that characteristic needs to be changed because it makes us all-alone in the life.

I was never a nosy, a liar, greedy, a judgmental person, or had any disregard for other people's feelings. I have in the past been prideful, selfish and controlling. But with all that, I believe I never had a continual guilty conscious. I still value my pride at times but I have learn to slow down and become patient to put the selfishness and controlling factor at ease. I find that I am less stressful and laugh more. The only characteristic that gets me in trouble at times if I don't watch myself is my fast to anger. I am getting better and it makes me feel better when I make these changes.

well i want to change my attitude for being friendly and easily trust to people without knowing them very well because sometimes they are taking advantage with me, if they know im friendly to them so they are thinking that i am too much kind for them,im the kind of person that if you are my friend i will give my very best and easily you can lean on me.

I would change my clumsiness if that is possible, hahaha. I'm also the type that like to second guess myself but I think it is something positive because I can do better reflection on what might and might not happen. This clumsiness of mine make it hard for me to do thing, I always end up doing thing twice or more, even arranging can be difficult therefore i have to plan ahead on how i'm going to do things before i do it. Happy mylotting...

I never get that urge to pry into other people's affairs. I am never curious or inquisitive. I am not too gullible but I am too trusting. Therefore, I am deceived and tricked sometimes. Since I have never committed any offense so there is no regrets. Concerning being selfish no, I am not. I have a large family and I have to think of my family first. I do have desires but this does not make me immoderately desirous of wealth or for that matter any other thing. About judging others, I believe that everybody is good until he proves himself bad. I am considerate towards others. The worst characteristic in me is that I am too trusting. Due to this, people usually take me for a ride.

I wonder just how honest people are going to be answering this question, though looks like there are some very genuine answers so far, so makes it safe for me to also admit to what my faults are. My biggest fault is giving more than I receive, I've often given so much of my time to others who didn't appreciate it in the first place and because I couldn't stop myself from wanting to give them more, I ended up being resentful in the end as you then expect others to give back what you gave to them and when it doesn't happen that way, you soon learn that it's not the best thing to do (to give too much of yourself) My other fault is that I have been known to lie about my age whilst going for jobs in the past and because I never looked my age anyway, I thought that it wouldn't matter until one day I had to provide some personal details in case of an emergency, I had no choice but to give them a photocopy of my passport and it had my year of birth (1973) - my boss was really good about it though and said that he would never have guessed me at being 30! - that was seven years ago now and still, I look like I am no more than 26 because of having such good skin, but now I never lie about my age unless I knew that I could get away with it! - You will be amazed at how many women lie about their age as they get older, I'm not an exception to the rule. It's whether or not you learn from mistakes that count.

hi stehanieAnnC I think, and I am sure my son will agree, that my worst habit is that I do not always give the person talking to me my full attention and thats really so wrong. I do want to be a better listener. also I am too quick to let my temper flare when I see someone mistreating others or a man taking a slap at his girlfriend or wife.I mean well but it has at times got me into trouble that I should have minded my own business. yet when you see a big man trying to hit a small woman what do you do really? my husband said call the police. but what if it takes the police forever to come? I think if I just would go to a phone or find someone with a cell phone and just c all the police it would be the best way.

I am lazy, I also worry too much, I'm a bit selfish in ways, hmm... I get mad, I have this quirk where I'll worry about someone doing something I don't want them to, nothing bad in the violent sense of the word, but nonetheless something bad. If I could (and I am trying to) change one thing about myself and the characteristics I have, it is to be less lazy, another would be to not worry so much in the latter sense that I had explained to you.

I think I should be more brave and decisive, I'm too cautious now, and always distrust myself. So it's difficult for me to make a decision. I think too much before doing all the things, I fear failure. Totally, I think I lack of confidence. I want to be more confident, that's what I want to change.

I wanted to change my characteristic, which is always relented and always wants to hide. I want to be someone who could express anything in my heart. So far I have to be people who always think and do not follow my heart. It torments, to people who succumb. I wish could come true, I would be very happy.

I think I worry too much about stuff that is not really that important, such as what other people think, what will happen in the future, etc. You know, all those things you can't really control anyway, so it is quite useless to worry about them. So I would change that if I could, no question about it! (also I would like to be taller, but I am not sure that counts in this case, hehe!)

yes i do think one could change some characteristics, as for me I’d like to be more patient to others,I know sometimes I could hurt their feelings. and i am a little easy being angry~for instance, if somebody has some mistake ,i will be unhappy and say some no good words ~But nearly every time I do feel regret for what I was doing, so I have tried to be more friendly to meet these things~ i hope I could be successful . Ths for this question~ good luck~
