The pros and cons of you - What makes you tick?

[Hey Ladi]

This is my attempt at a useful thread.

I like to know why people are the way they are. I know we did nasty habits you have, so here I am looking for more along the lines of the psycological you.

Cons: What keeps you from connecting with other people? What keeps you from accomplishing things? Are you a cynic, a pessimist, or too optimistic?

Pros: These are sometimes harder. What do people like about you? What do you like about you?

[Spitfire]

I still sleep with a doll....

HA! If I didn't have Mr. Spit sleeping next to me, I'd probably be sleeping with one of my teddy bears. When he worked the overnight shift, I did. I was in a hotel by myself last night and had to sleep with a pillow in my arms

Funny, Ladi, most are our pros and cons are the same! even the ones I forgot, like holding grudges, moodiness (split personality - I am a Gemini), etc. :lol:
And I don't get along with other women. I don't know why, they don't like me right away (probably the tact thing) and I usually don't like them for the most part...except the chicks here for some strange reason...

I'm also a good judge of character.
