What kind of person are you? (In your own opinion). - (Be honest).

I'm an ambitious probably hopelessly optimistic person who; As far as I can tell, am probably my own worse enemy.

I'd set things out, know what I have to do, and then, somehow, for whatever reason, see my friends in the intention of being serious and getting work done - not doing the work I meant to do.
I'm probably to blame for this, but really, it just is what it is because I am too laid back; in general. - Laid back is good, but not that good when you're like me.

I'm a hard working 110% guy, but I'm also... Like 'Whatever' and 'That's cool'.
I'm a laid back rock guitarist from London (Soho and South London).
I am proud though, just because I'm laid back doesn't mean I won't call people out if I take offence to anything other people do, be it me contacting my MP or trying not to thread war in here, but I'm not really frothing at the mouth doing it.

Because I'm laid back doesn't mean I'm not a busy, busy man.
Between everything; School, extra curricular, work, and more extra curricular in my social life with market stalls/eBay selling and FB marketplace, HMRC/taxes, my own guitar playing...
Until we broke up for Christmas at school and I submitted my assignment, I saw that...
When I was practising guitar, felt like the closest thing to down time I had during my day which went from when I woke up to when I got home late at night. But then, I value my time and guitar practising and everything, - but it is fun.
I feel like, because 'I'm a guitar guy', I'm laid back, like, really laid back, because of that, and I love it.

-- That's of course me, what about you?
Happy New Year!

 

I think it's a bad idea to describe yourself.... my husband says I'm stubborn... I think I'm determined.... it's a matter of interpretation lol

 

If it wasn't for my modesty I would be perfect!

 

I am intellectually curious and emotionally closed to all but one. I am bright enough to know when I am woefully uniformed. I am unimpressed by feigned intelligence if not offended by it but compassionate enough to attempt educating. I enjoy discussion but dismiss the troll, often distributing well placed ridicule before my exit....this can be seen as flippant or egotistical and I know it but do not care.
I am sarcastic and can be cruel when required as I do not suffer fools. I can be a good friend or a brutal enemy depending on interaction.

 

I hate people.

Everyone is selfish and will burn you in a second if it benefits them.

There are no good people on the planet so its better to protect yourself rather than fall victim to their traps.

The best way to act in life is in self-preservation, realizing everyone is your enemy and taking steps to prevent that from happening.

 

This is actually a fairly well known philosophy from the ancient Greeks and Romans as well.

People have not changed.

 

My sister is a nurse and she is very bossy.

I am an armed guard and also very bossy.

It seems to depend on your job. Your job makes you what you are.

 

When you are in a relationship whether by choice (marriage) or by default (family) you have to negotiate.

When you live alone you are free.

 

Optimism is healthy for your mind.

Of course there is no reason to regard it as valid or not.

You were just lucky and you expect to continue to be so.

 

Yes true...you have to consider the other person, but if there's too much of that... too much pressure or too many restrictions/things not allowed in the relationship the whole thing doesn't work... it chokes the life out of you... in the ideal relationship you have room to breathe... to be your own person

 

In the ideal situation you are appreciated by the other, and he/she gets along with you great.

The two lovers that live in my building (male and female - hetero - just to be specific) both drive off-road jeeps, both are fire fighters, both go hiking and backpacking, and they both love dogs and have two old dogs.

They are perfect for each other.

You seldom see 2 people as perfect for each other than they are.

 

The true test is if they have kids... everything changes...the first 4-5 years is a very difficult time for every couple starting a family... it's either stay childless or endure the true test to your relationship

 

To my (few) friends, Im: patient, stoic, logical, methodical, nonsocial, practical, self-assured, emotionally independent.

Which translates rather quickly in a relationship to: impassionate, insensitive, emotionless, predictable, antisocial, trashy, invulnerable and 'unintimate.'

Eye of the beholder indeed.

 

I am sort of the complete opposite to what the OP is - I am highly cynical and super nervous (I always get work done, but always think I won't get it done). Furthermore, I am a bit arrogant and not very empathetic.

 

And I thought I was cynical and misanthropic! I'm a regular 'Pollyanna on a good day' compared to you, Spooky!!

 

OP

I used to be arrogant, supercilious, and conceited, but I went to see a shrink about it, and now I'm the nicest guy you could wish to meet.

Talking of 'shrinks' - two psychiatrists pass one another in the street - one says to the other 'Good morning,' and the other one thinks 'I wonder what he meant by that?'

 

I guess I am strange in my situation. I have met and married a person who has created a mindset in which she is more important and considered than I am by me. My breathing is fine and I am my own person but she is a part of me now. Sappy perhaps but heartfelt truth.

 

I always hope that couples that look good and get along well will have kids too.

Without kids our society would extinguish itself.

My mom and dad had kids. One of them is my favorite person in the world -- my sister the nurse.

She is bossy but also very caring of others.

So I hope you and Mr. Scarlet will also have kids too.

 

These things don't make us 'perfect for each other'. What makes us suited is well aligned attitudes to commitment - because these will see us through hard times, and bridge differences. Shared hobbies are bonus material - nice, but not essential.

 

It isn't strange. NOT feeling this way is stranger.

 

I'm a flaming pain in the arse

 

Do have kids Y... 11 and 13 pigeon pair

 

How sad.

 

I think I might have found love.

 

I think some similarity is required to enable commitment. Perhaps not necessarily hobby-wise, but definitely personality-wise. Two diametrical opposites could never make a relationship work. That whole "plus and minus"-thingy is utter bollox.

My parents divorced and I have literally no idea how they even thought they were a good match themselves - they have nothing in common and are of complete opposite personalities. Very silly to try out a family in such situation imo.
