What's go-to phrase explains your personality?

[DishLady]

I've been called "a tough cookie" very often and my answer is always to chuckle and say, "Sure, but even tough cookies are sweet. We just need a good strong coffee to compliment us." (As an aside, I started saying this bc being pegged as tough causes folks to act as if I don't have feelings they can hurt, as if I'm somehow unmoved by their nonsense... I'll stay focused and get things done, or be direct with people in terms of telling them what I want them to do, but it doesn't mean that acting poorly towards me is ok.)

What's a go-to phrase that you use to describe yourself (or adjust an expression others use to describe you)?

It fits better in part of a song by soil.

Honor - choices that you make, reflect of whom you truly are

Courage - rise above the masses, live your life complete and strong

Compassion - is the power that must be used for the good of all

Loyal - to the ones in my care, standing true for what the cause

Honesty - there are no shades of grey, only truth as it can be

Sincere - don't need to give my word, to speak of such, is the same thing

Courtesy - there's no need to prove strength, even respect your enemies

Values - this is the code I feel, emotions without words, can speak


I can't just use one phrase sorry. Honesty especially after meeting my wife is part of the core of it, I refuse to lie to anyone, unless I have to.

"Captain Literal" - what you say is usually how I interpret it and then start to think more on it.

My wife: "I am going to run to the store. Need anything?"

Me: "See you tomorrow." (She is 'running' to the store?)

LOL. You're not really like that. But thanks for making me chuckle.

I sometimes get accused of being stoic. I reply, "I have feelings, but not like a ruptured appendix."

I'm not really sure that I have a specific go-to phrase that explains my personality, but I guess I do say "It is what it is" and "Just relax" pretty often. Those can trigger people sometimes (more so girls, because for some reason they hate being told to relax). I think the obvious reason I frequently use those phrases is because I have a pretty easygoing personality.

I’m kind, polite and sweet, but don’t take advantage of me or I will get angry like the Hulk
