My sweetheart, the bitch
Feb. 23rd, 2004 12:18 pmI took one of those silly Quizilla type quizzes that rated you on several personality factors. No big surprise that I skew toward introverted and messy and that my creativity scores came out high.
But it's been bothering me way more than it should that I scored pretty far over on the "disagreeability" scale. I mean, I know I have some bitchy tendencies and can even joke about them. But, really, in my own self-image, I'm a sweetheart. I always strove to be the "cool girlfriend" rather than the nag. I think I'm a compassionate listener and I'm quite motherly with many of my friends and my lovers. I want to be one of the sweet, good-tempered people, but I know I'm not. I'm argumentative and a know-it-all.
I don't ever want to be a nicey-nice person or a pushover, but maybe I could work on just holding my tongue when someone else is "getting it wrong"-- just a little more often.
