If you could change one thing about your personality, what would it be?

I guess I go back and forth about my rage issues, because I do view it as an asset and not a liability, sometimes. I was a bouncer at a few college bars in my 20s and early 30s. I’m pretty big, but just regular-big, not oh-shit-I’d-never-fuck-with-that-guy-big. Not your usual enormous bouncer. So some people would try to fuck with me, or take me less seriously. I’m also very outgoing and friendly, so that didn’t give me a very threatening vibe. But on the occasions when I flipped out…. no one who witnessed it would ever look at me the same again😂 Like I flip out BIG.

I look back on my bouncing career —and as much as I all-caps HATE letter-of-the-law nerds who immediately start calling out legal offenses you could be found guilty of, the “that’s ASSAULT!” people when someone gets so much as shoved🙄🤦‍♂️😂— just off the top of my head, I’ve tried to (or was at least fixing to) hit people with a pint glass, a pool stick, a bar stool, and I even whipped a pool ball at someone (miraculously missed everyone and even more miraculously hit the back of a tall padded-back bar stool and didn’t put a hole in the wall lmao).

So to me, that’s just me losing my temper, and afterwards I’m just like “WHEW!!! That one got a little out of hand, sorry about that, folks!” As long as no one was hurt, I think of it as no harm, no foul. A lot of people could just accept it and laugh it off, “that’s just Steve when he’s mad.” People would even adjust to it and try to manage it. I remember hearing after a near-brawl after one of my semipro football games that one of my coaches, amid all the brewing commotion, was yelling “where’s Shady? WHERE’S SHADY?” (they all called me Slim Shady lmao). And he was actually right, I was off retrieving a box cutter from my car, haha. Or one of my teammates whose dad hung out on the sideline with us, I remember one time a fight broke out on the field while I was on the sideline, and he just came up and bear hugged me from behind before I could even think of getting involved😂

But there’s that faction who I think see me wild out and think I’m a criminal and don’t really know how to respond to it. Or they’re just freaked out by the explosiveness of it all. I got in one fight in my hockey league a couple months ago, and afterwards when I was still in a rage after being pulled off the kid, I had pretty good scream, then headbutted the plexiglass boards (cut my own forehead doing that🤦‍♂️😂), and then had an even bigger primal scream as I skated off to an open area of the ice to get a hold of myself. Preeeetttttyyyyyyy sure most of the league thinks I’m a psycho after that lmfao. There were only four teams last season, so there were us two in the game, and the other two teams were playing next and watching from the balcony, so everyone saw it. I get a lot of “I’d never mess with you, buddy!” from some guys, and to be totally honest, I love that. Not being fucked with is probably the most important thing in my life, and I definitely want to intimidate anyone I encounter so they don’t think about fucking with me. I absolutely want that in the Top 3 things someone thinks about me, just that “holy fuck, I’d never step to that kid on my best day and his worst.” I just wish there was more duality to it, where they recognize I’m chill too. I’m a good times guy, I just don’t respond well to being fucked with. But I’d much rather have a good time than be responding to be fucked with. So I guess I’d just adjust myself to whatever balances “I like that kid” and “I’d never test that kid”, because I think I scare some people off when they see that side of me.

[ohshee]

This is another one of those questions where I wouldn't change anything I mean there's times where I come off coldish but I'm in the middle of work or something I'm right in the middle of doing something that I need to concentrate you know I know it's only a brief moment but sometimes depending on what I'm doing that's all it takes for me to screw it up

I mean I think I'm a pretty good judge of character like people on here if I answer their questions enough I think I get them down pretty well who they are but they're all about

And if somebody was to do like judge me on the things that I say on here or my character I would have to say you don't even understand you don't even know me yet because I only put out of it maybe a 16th of who I am to know me is to laugh your ass off smile a lot be really calm and easy and just be happy because that's who I am in so many different ways I don't care if anybody likes me because I like me and the air in the universe likes me I mean if it boiled down to it that's all I would ever need in life I want more but I am very happy it's too bad they didn't have a way or a test that you could take so everybody could see what your personality is or who you are but you're all about because I was shocked everybody because what I write down on these pages is just a little piece of me I wouldn't change anything even though I know there's probably about 100 things that I probably should change I wouldn't change a thing in this moment anyway maybe somewhere down the road I might but who knows I'm very happy

[DataOrganizer27]

My inability to control my emotions when I love someone. I hate being emotionally vulnerable so when I am in love I just can't get a grip and I get all over the place.

If I was more emotionally comfortable I probably would be a lot more balanced. So that lol.

[beebella]

My shyness. Sometimes I wish I could be more outgoing.

[Msputiton]

Big hugs

[NathanDavis]

hmmm, I really gave it a thought... and I don't think I would change anything

I've been working on balance for so many years, so I feel like I'm in a good place, the good and the not so good things... all of it's me, and I like who and what I am, so... changing little things or big things would feel like that's not me

then I thought "more of the good traits and less of the bad traits" but.. I think I have balance, that is more real, IT is my reality, besides... some of the good things came from overcoming some of the bad things or keeping them in control, so I would not want to lose that perspective either

[Msputiton]

Good.
I'm glad

[MCheetah]

It's not exactly personality, but I say I'd probably be dumber, to be more optimistic and happy. It's hard to explain, but being so, so intelligent, it tends to make one cynical and misanthropic, which I definitely am. I hate using IQ as it's not a fully accurate sign of logical intelligence, but I supposedly have a 150 IQ. If I was a 100 IQ dum-dum like most people, it'd be easy to ignore all the problem and issues of society and just get drunk and smoke weed like those people do.

So I guess I'd be happier by literally being an idiot. Not to say you can't be smart and optimistic. I'm just not THAT smart to figure out how (besides being rich).

[standardguy]

Yes but if God has guven you intelligence yiu should use it for the zhe blessing of the world. Of course that is not easy abd you will sufder but perhaps you will change the wold a bit to the good side.

[FinalFantasyBro]

If I could really change something about myself it's my problems of overthinking things I have a real problem of overthinking in situations that don't need to be overthink.

[Msputiton]

That can be stressful

[FinalFantasyBro]

It really do, plus I sometimes risk getting a headache and it doesn't be pretty.

[Msputiton]

Bet 😔

[Birdlegs]

I wish I was more confident. And better at making small talk. I’m pretty funny in general and I’m really good at being in conversations I just don’t know how to start them.

[Th3ft]

Personality would be my laziness… haha! It kills me sometimes how lazy I can be. But I do usually have a good work ethic so I try to just focus on that and being as hard of a work as I can be.

[sheikalana]

I wish I could be more straight forward. I never want to hurt anybody and I hate conflict so sometimes I keep certain things to myself instead of speaking up.

[emmajoyforever]

Nothing because I like that I just say exactly what I'm thinking it's a whole lot better than keeping it to myself

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I wouldn't know, probably everything?
I don't know, it feels like a trap sometimes because I never know how to tell people how I really feel.

[Leshen]

I would be more confident when I dance or express my art.

[TallAnon]

I really wish I could see the joy in more things. I get very bored, very quickly. Some people love just taking a stroll. After 1 minute, I am bored. I put on some music, 2 minutes later, bored. I really envy people who can enjoy more things.

[jennifer_bloom]

I think I’m indecisive and have difficulty doing things when I don’t have accountability partners.

[UniquelyBasic]

Nothing really. My personality is one of the best things I have.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I'm really shy among people I need to lighten up some

[CaptainLegal]

I was always kinda shy, I have improved through the years but I still need to work it out

[Jltakk]

I would be more perceptive to the here and now, the outer world. I am very slow and need time to gather all the details

[dolemite89]

i wish i liked people more in general. i like being social with certain people aside from that I just can’t stand most people lol

[TrueConfection]

I'd be more forgiving.

[whereismyjohnny]

I'd like to care less lol.

[TacosRAwesome]

My inability to stick to my plans.

[exitseven]

I would want to be less angry.

[Anonymous]

Shyness 😔 it gets in my way a lot of times

[motownplayer2000]

That I’m too trusting

[Noodle_fan]

i need better filter when talking to someone

[moonpie89]

I wish I wasn't a people pleaser 😕

[EnglishEuropean]

So I'd like to be more assertive.

[SignedAutographs]

That i can be a little shy

[standardguy]

Being less sensitive and more sensible.

[Nikki1989]

I talk too much

[wa1t1ngFuture]

laziness

[Anonymous]

I would make myself a bit more social

[TenkRealist]

[kinggeorge007]

Procrastination.

[Jerre]

Not a single thing
