What are the traits that you dislike about yourself and that others also criticize in you?

My overthinking. It makes me constantly worried. My loved ones think other than other factors, my overthinking also plays a role in me being stressed. They want to see me relax and carefree.

Other than that, although many times people appreciate my straight forward, honest reply but at times it also kinda bothers them because I say things as it is even if I love them. I don't sugatcoat or lie or support them for someone I feel is wrong

Overthinking until one takes action exists in most people to a certain extent and I also have it. It’s a situation that exhausts and slows down a person. Overthinking and listening to oneself is more of a feminine trait and it has been found to be more common in women.

Besides that, being open-minded is definitely not a bad thing one should say things as they are without beating around the bush

Dislike: I can be mean and sarcastic sometimes.
Like: I’m compassionate. I truly care about other people’s well being.

I love that I’m speaking my mind and have a strong set of political and societal ideas that I believe and follow (and I’m not like a wave just following the curb) but sometimes I don’t like that I feel the need to let others know my beliefs etc. Like the fear of being misread if you know what I mean. And that is done when I say my opinion and give input in convos. Like sometimes I wish I could just sit and listen and not feel the need to argue about things. Cause I believe that if you stay and listen and don’t argue on some topics then it comes off as though you are agreeing 🫤and I don’t like people (that are racist) for example thinking that I agree with them or something. So in short , NOT protecting my energy enough.
