What is your least favorite
personal quality in others? Extra points for sharing your least favorite
personal quality in yourself.
I feel sure in the last 351 days of this year, I have already answered
some version of this prompt, but I am too lazy right now to go back and search,
so I will briefly attempt to answer it again.
Least favorite personal quality in others: Insincerity.
Least favorite personal quality in myself: Inattentiveness
I have a hard time being around people who are not genuine, persons who
are more concerned about image and projecting the right one than they are about
being honest and straightforward. Some
people are just very private, and it may take a while to get to know them or
for them to open up, but the truly insincere person never really opens up
themselves to you at all. They will never really let anyone in. Instead, they
simply tell you what they think you want to hear and rarely listen to what you
have to say. I’m not that great at
listening sometimes, but I’ll be honest and admit it at least.
As for myself, I tend to work pretty hard during my job at being
attentive to details and to the situations at hand. I try to listen using all
my listening skills, but when I get home, I tend to allow my brain to relax and
my listening skills to take a break. I don’t really hear what my husband or son
are trying to say to me sometimes, and I have to ask them to repeat themselves
frequently. So, I really wish I could be
as attentive at home as I usually am at work. J
Maybe that would be a good New Year’s resolution for 2016, huh? I’ll
have to think about how I could improve upon that one…
