Which of your good qualities is the most inconvenient or creates the most difficulty for you?

For example,  I  am very reliable and virtually always do what I say I will do, even when it turns out I have to forgo doing something that I really want to do.

    I am OCD about being on time and expect everyone else to be on time as well, especially if we are going together.  I usually arrive at doctors appointments 15 minutes early.  Not everyone shares my sentiments.

    But is that inconvenient or difficult for you?

    If I say I'll be ready at a certain time, you can count on it.  Having someone join me can be tough.  I prepare items needed for the excursion sometimes the night before.  My son is the only one who means what he says.  If he says he will be here at 9:34 a.m. he will be here exactly at that time.  I can count on him like that.  My neighbor however, bless her heart is on a different schedule although she is getting better I must add.  She forgot something or needs to go back in for her phone etc. She feels pushed which I feel bad about but I time everything to get where I need to be on time or preferably early.

    I don't have any good qualities.

    Then think of one of your least objectionable qualities.

    My intelligence. I can't stand to be around stupid people.

    If everyone was as smart as you, you would not be needed. Those of less intelligence than you need your example which can influence others to do better, solve a problem, or give them another way of dealing with life. You are needed.  I suggest you volunteer, perhaps at a homeless shelter.  There are thousands of folks walking around in the dark, so to speak.  You are needed.  

    Intelligence is not free, responsibility comes along with it.

    I've always truly cared about other people in my life. 

    And I have a creative fertile imagination.


    But then, at times, I can get overly concerned with my very active imagination and create non-existent worries - thinking I may have hurt or angered others.

    Probably my sense of humor.  It has a way of popping up at ... shall we say... "unusual" times.

    Ditto. Knee jerk Dad jokes. A co-worker told me she was hungry, I automatically replied, "Hi hungry, I'm Dad" without thinking.

    And I would answer, 'I'd rather be hungry,  I can get over that'.
