What personality traits do you dislike?

Post » Thu May 15, 2014 10:38 pm

People who have pit bulls as pets or they have these small, yapping, little, toy dogs. How about something in between for once, eh? I'm guessing this is because of a personality trait.

Know-it-alls, because nobody does and they're just trying to make themselves feel smart at other's expense. This includes petty critics, who take issue with things like minor details rather than seeking an understanding of something as a whole (like criticizing the whole of Huck Finn because of the use of a certain word). This especially includes people who speak authoritatively on a subject having just scanned the Wikipedia page.

hardcoe Judges. We all screw up. We all have parts of ourselves that we don't care for. If someone is a junkie or an alcoholic, a sinner, a liar, a cheat, what have you, it doesn't help to point and say "J'accuse". Let he who is without sin...

"Scientists". You aren't smarter than everyone else. Get over yourself. This is actually cheating, because they fit in with know-it-alls, but it's a particular type of know-it-all blending several other types to make people who think that logic, science and what not are sacred cows and nothing else is worthy of consideration. Put down your damn books and go outside. This is worse when they try and destroy the value of good things. Yes, love is an emotion caused by the release of certain chemicals or whatever. Doesn't mean it has any less value or beauty.

People who hate people. Because 90% of the time, in my experience, they don't. They're just scared of putting themselves out there and scared to admit it. Those that do are wrong, because people are good and wonderful and interesting, and you're giving them way less credit than they deserve, based on a few bad apples. And if you hate people because you were bullied as a kid, sorry, but get over it. People change considerably from when they're children. If you're blaming people for something that even you have a hard time remembering, you're being an ass.

Those are the only traits I actively dislike. There's a lot that I could do without, and a lot that I pity, but those are the ones that tend to get me riled every time.

I don't really like anyone, lol. But then again, I seem to like everyone I come across. Makes no sense. I'm being honest. If I were in someone's company in real life, they would basically have to be my mother, that's how I look at it. I could pull off the whole "equality" act for a while, but I'd end up just relying on them like my mothers [censored] when I was newborn.

You know, Richard Feynman, in one of the things he wrote, related a story about that... science doesn't seek to destroy beauty, rather it seeks a different kind. (The following is paraphrased because I don't have said writing at hand):

So he was talking to this artist, and the artist goes

"I look at a flower and I draw it, and I see a beautiful flower. But then you look at it with your science and break it down to cells, and you take away its beauty."

So Feynman replies:

"I don't think I take away its beauty. I just see different layers of it. Cells and their complex interactions, and the complex interactions of atoms that make up the cells, are beautiful in their own way. It's just a deeper beauty, not as superficial as just looking beautiful."

The complex dance woven by neurons and neurotransmitters to create love holds its own kind of beauty.

I do dislike Hoochy mama's.. Can't use any other word that won't get censored.. But the way I see it is a hoochy is only that way for attention and self loathing... Oh and the daddy issues... I used to date a girl who had daddy issues... Loved her dearly.. broke my heart and got pregnant with some low life... BUT I would have accepted her dating someone "better" then me.. Not some POS who cheats on her.. I've witnessed it with my own eye holes... I had NEVER cheated.. But she still blindly falls for him... Bah! :-( sorry peeps. Just.. Yeah..

I agree. My problem is with those (and I've seen this disturbingly frequently) that agree with that artist. I've spoken with people who seem to think that love is inherently worthless because of its biochemical nature. Or who don't see the beauty in our species and what we've accomplished because we're "just another animal". Or who fail to see the beauty in a spiritual pursuit because religion isn't confirmed by science, rather than appreciating the human capacity for spirituality. That's what I have a problem with.

How nice:) I enjoy science as well.. Mostly Astronomy I like the beauty of the stars and planets and how the minerals and atoms and gasses make such marvelous objects. I also like psychology I like how the brain works and the pieces it uses for specific things.. So interesting..

I don't like people who look down on others because they are different
