You can feel free to mention anything. It doesn't need to be any of those included in the photo. Thanks.

Hmmmm. If you think about these character or personality traits in terms of absolutes they can pretty much all “flip” on themselves becoming opposite.
Positivity can become sickening when a person literally walks around puking sunshine denying negativity even when it stares them in the face. Extreme confidence becomes arrogance. Honesty in ALL situations would also cause conflict and distress. I appreciate these are positives turned around but the same logic can be applied to other traits generally perceived as negatives.
I don’t see any of these as absolutes though , they are “traits” and when spread or displayed evenly or measuredly in a person’s character then then that’s perceived as the “norm” but when we get blasted with extremes of the trait it makes us recoil and think well “that” isn’t normal , or I don’t like that causing us to then judge accordingly. We can all “act” out of character thought that’s why it’s important that we are not quick to judge and dismiss or accept and trust.


Just my two cents though !!!

I can't stand "loud & outgoing" since I'm an introvert who has a hearing condition that literally converts loud sounds into pain.

I can tolerate "jealousy." It's what people do that's bad. Jealousy doesn't entail specific negative actions. So jealousy by itself isn't bad.

I’m turned off by the spontaneous/adventurous guys who try to get at me yet they constantly want me to join them in traveling the world and never want to settle down and build a relationship/family lol. Fck that. That mightve been cute back in high school/college but constantly traveling is not what I’m focused on now. Empathetic people get on my nerves at times too because they don’t quite understand why I may not feel as sad/bad about some stranger’s situation that they’re devastated by. I don’t think its all that bad if a guy is jealous, as long as he’s not trying to control me nor kill someone. I don’t think its all that bad to be stubborn because I like when people stick to their opinion/beliefs and don’t change depending on who they’re around. Stubborn people seem more decisive and I like that.

Realistic. It's a positive trait but this kind of people sound rather depressing, I keep my realist opinions mostly for myself.

Manipulative. It's a negative trait but I find a little bit manipulation isn't bad. Sometime it's necessary to manipulate people for their own good, when they stand on edge of an abyss and want to make a step forwards. This is an absolute destructive trait when it's owned by psychopaths and sadists.

Idealistic, or better being idealistic to a fault. I think it's admirable to have beliefs in this cynic world but when they become everything for that person they can turn into zealotry. Humanity's greatest tragedies have been caused by very idealistic people.

Being ambitious, many see it as a negative thing, but I think that if balanced with a good moral standing, it's an extremely positive quality.

What about you?

[Dongie]

Well, how about ambitious about getting the attention of God?

[NathanDavis]

too logical... can definitely be too much, too rational, too serious, too analytical

if it goes to a point in which a person just can't enjoy simple things... that's definitely not the most fun to be around with, lol

I guess some positive characters can be overdone, lol

[NathanDavis]

I'll have to think a bit longer about the negative ones... lol

[NathanDavis]

for the negative ones... let's just say that I would not mind to work for Gordon Ramsay and his madness... it just wouldn't faze me, lol

I kind of like to work under pressure, as well

[Universaldance]

Someone Resourceful (positive trait I cannot stand too much of)



-it might open up the doors to hoarding




Someone Spontaneous (negative trait that would be beneficial to us)


- I am the total opposite but a lady that would push me to experience more would be helping me fulfill the exploration side I enjoy

[Phoenix98]

Personally I feel more comfortable around assholes who are tough skinned then I do nice people who are sensitive.

Because that is how I myself am I am an asshole to my friend and he's one to me that's how we became friends and everyone at work are assholes to each other. And that's what I prefer honestly.

[MicahRaine]

Assertive and Impulsive.

Assertive
Being capable of standing up for yourself and making yourself heard is a good thing. But "assertive" people have a tendency to go too far and be domineering as well. And I can't stand domineering people.

Impulsive
Making decisions with very little information can have mixed results. It can lead to a lot of joy or pain. But I can live with it because it usually comes from a good place.

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't like positive characters being naive or narrow-minded... it makes reading about or watching them uncomfortable... as for negative characters, sky is the limit :D

[Agape93]

Positive: forgiving.
I don't forgive and can't truly understand why you'd forgive someone who's wronged you.

Negative: apathy.
A lack of emotional care is my baseline. I'm comfortable around it.

[Agape93]

You?

[DizzyDesii]

I can forgive, I just cannot forget. I can’t stand to be around people who i’ve forgiven because i no longer trust their ass and always expect the worse from them. So yea i forgive but dont forget

[Agape93]

I don't do either

[RebelinSteel]

I tend to struggle with Charismatic, my brain is a bit grr with it and gets messed up.
is sarcastic a negative or positive, I view it as a positive, however I think society likely shoved it in the negative corner.

[DizzyDesii]

I def see sarcasm as a negative trait. I can't stand it. Its as bad as dark humor 😩

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I’m tired of seeing the trope of the male character who’s overly innocent.

Gimmie someone who overcame pain in a comically unhealthy way.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Are you writing something cuz this seems like a great way to build a character

[SotiCoto]

I hate Nice people.

I like Cruel persons.

I'm kinda cheating since they're opposites, so I've only really said one thing two ways...
But given my misanthropic tendencies and dark sense of humour, I could only really get along with someone who can hold a conversation about mass murder or laugh at others' misfortune with me.

[Dongie]

I must admit I love sarcasm. I eat it up.
I can't stand arrogance.
A smug arrogant attitude make me puke.
Confidence without arrogance is good.

[DrPepper12]

I admire assertiveness and wish i had more
I hate arrogance and wish i had less
GREAT question

[strangeatcircleK]

Can't stand a narcissist , I can deal with someone pessimistic

[LiamJHayden]

Positive I do not like: None.

Negative I can tolerate: tardiness, shyness

[Anpu23]

Toxic positivity, you see this often in the world of "spiritualism" people who are so full of light and happiness that they are annoying to be around.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao sounds like me. I never heard of toxic positivity. More so “too optimistic” or bubbly

[ChicoFromThe305]

Manipulative for negative and whatever you call when that feminazi mentality for positive, which I guess in a way for women it's considered positive.

[MrGSpotHer]

Well I'm not sure about this it's all depending on the way they use them, I find I have different ideas on these things I can always find ways to keep being on my own

[Jay-_-]

This questions is a lot to think about.

[dreamstar72]

I go with a 50 - 50
