Do people often mistake attitude, for personality?

Come to think about it, I've actually thought about this question before, and I completely agree. Alot of people can be cool and outgoing on the outside but their personalities are like dirt. The shy people are the ones I find most interesting. Occasionally you'll find people who are really fun to hang out with and their attitude and personality are really good.

I think a lot of people do make this mistake because people often judge others on attitude. Most of my friends or people I know will base a person purely on attitude without really getting to know their personality. I can safely say there are only a few who actually think beyond the question and understand.

Yeah I wonder that sometimes... I notice I can have a very bitchy attitude if someone gets on my nerves and it lingers but in reality if you never piss me off I'm not like that lol.

Haha, I love this question.. even though I'm a little confused.

What your describing to me sound a lot like bs tolerance. I mean, a lot of people who seem really fun.. are actually complete tools, but no one notices because they have high bull shit tolerance.

If I'm getting this straight, it sounds like you have a low bullshit tolerance and are therefore finding that a lot of well-liked people really suck.

No, it's not just you.

It's just all about how you play the game.. isn't it always?

Personality is a collective amount of qualities attributed to someone where as attitude is a single feeling one feels towards another object or thing. Comparing the two is a little awkward I think but I get what you are implying.

Micheal Jackson has an interesting personality but doesn't mean he'll make a great friend or spouse. He's simply an entertainer not Mother Theresa.

Lindsey Lohan might be fun but when it counts, do people closest to her trust her?

These people are known as clowns.
