What kind of person are you?

[Eve]

What kind of person are you? Are you more selfless or selfish? Are you assertive or do you find it hard to stand up for yourself, that kind of thing...

Do you wish you could be different?

v shy-wish i wasnt -

why do you want to know ,anyway
eh?

[NoMercy]

I am a very helpful person and will always endeavour to help others out, but can't be bothered with rude or ignorant people - I just won't give them the time of day.

I am assertive, but wasn't always.

I wouldn't wish to be different; I'm happy with the way I am.

I like to do things for other people, but then is there any favour you can do that is selfless? Coz I know it makes me feel good so maybe thats why I do it.

haven't you asked something similar before Jenna? ... not a problem if you have .. just curious to know.

I don't put myself first, yet I'm very assertive on some subjects. I can't stand injustice in any form. I'm a bit of a control freak. Everything I do has to be to the best of my ability or I wont bother. I'm a jack of all trades, master of non....so pretty non-descript really.

What about you Jenna?

I've had a couple of knocks lately and lost some of my confidence but I am starting to get back on top of things. I am generally selfless (well, you have to be when you have got lots of kids) and will help anyone out if I can. I do stand up for myself and my family and have become an expert at complaining where I see fit.

From another's point of view I'm sure I'd appear to have many faults. But, I think I'm a decent person who has respect and consideration for others. I do like the person whom I've grown up to be.

I am assertive and stand up for myself when needed. If I dont give a t0ss about someone that has badmouthed me I wouldnt go out my way to tell them off as my real friends know me. I wouldnt want to be anyone else. Yer I probably pee some people off but unless they have got to know me who cares :-)

[RainbowPrism]

I like me, I like who I am, I know I would be there for anyone at anytime and I always put others before myself, always have done, I once got told to stop being a 'nice-ist' by my boss a few years ago, but I am not a doormat, I know when others are taking the preverbial and if they are I will jog on...it does grate me when people take advantage of others.

[Captin Kirk]

I generally used to be quite shy and unassertive but that change as I got older and more experienced about life. My confidence did dip for a couple of years when i was going through a rough time with my boss at work but I have come out stronger on the other side.

I think as you get older you sort of loose your inhibitions and care less about expressing your opinions and what people think about you and just think "who cares anyway?".

I will go out of my way to help friends and family and complete strangers on occasion as long as you don't try to make a mug of me.

4Get, from all the years of reading yours and Redcrx post on here, I think you both are lovely.

[4getmenot]

she gets it from me lol

[wiggal]

I am far too quiet, in the sense I have no balls and wouldn't say boo to a goose! Which is rubbish at times as I cant stand up for myself and have needed a helping hand from my OH to get my out of times when I have not been able to say no to people!

In that way I would like to change, but then I think I am pretty selfless and I love being able to help people when I can :-)

[stokemaveric]

isnt there some lovely people in the world??....

[berniecuddles]

my wife just called me a w@nker kind of sums it all up really lol

[berniecuddles]

she WAS joking (i hope)

[lardhelmet]

Can't say I agree with you at the moment stoke after what happened to me today. Yesterday I got bawled at by a councillor (again not my fault). Never been a people person but would go to the ends of the earth for family & fiends. Have to honest tho - I've gone right off people (especially men) this week

[Eve]

I am more assertive at work than personally, I guess on behalf of others generally but not so much just for myself. I've always had pretty assertive jobs but my work persona and personal one can be pretty different.

My confidence has taken a knock recently and had some big changes and lots my edge a little in the meantime, I think I'm trying to temper making myself get back on my feet more. I have had it said I'm too nice about certain things a fair bit recently, that I need to think about myself a bit more etc...but it can be hard to change something so inherent, especially without feeling mean.

I've never been good at complaining and such, personally anyway, let so many things go and probably get walked over far more than I should.

Guess I'm wondering if it's better to be a bit harder, make more of a stand etc... but not sure if that's me.

[mazie]

I think you're lovely wiggal x It does take all sorts and at the end of the day if you're happy in your own skin, what the hell!

Like everyone, until they give you reason not to.....right I'm of to bed xxx
