Extensive version:

Like everyone I have traits that I do and do not like about myself. But whether they are good or bad they define who I am. My good traits include determination, organization, open-mindedness, and my silly personality. I have been lucky to always have a great deal of support from my family in everything I have done. This has led me to believe anything is possible and has given me determination in everything I do. When I set a goal for myself I put everything I have into accomplishing that goal.

I have always felt that things go much easier if they are planned so I have the trait of organization. Every trip I go on, every paper I write, and all of my upcoming tasks are planned ahead. I have an ongoing list of things that I need to get done, which some people find strange. It gives structure to my life and leaves less room for surprises.

I am also very open minded which I see as a definite good trait. I believe that everyone should be allowed to do whatever they want with whomever they want without the societal pressures placed on us today. I believe in self expression and independence. Everyone is created equal and should be treated that way. No matter what your race or sexual preference is you should have the freedom to express your feelings without any repercussions.

I would hate to give you the impression that I am uptight because I am not at all. My looks and actions when you first meet me are deceiving. All the traits above come in a very silly and fun overall package. I love laughing and making others laugh. I like going out and spending time with friends and I am not afraid of what anyone thinks of me. I love smiling and have been told on numerous occasions that I never stop.

Some of my bad traits include being spoiled, hiding my emotions, being indecisive, and being resentful to those who have things given to them. I am not spoiled in the way of material possessions but I love getting my way and being rubbed or scratched. If I want something and I don’t want to get it I try and get others to get it for me. Also if I ask someone for something I don’t want to wait. I want it right then.

Another bad trait is the fact that I am highly emotional yet I hide my emotions. I am the listener and will not let myself open up to people around me about serious issues. I won’t even disucss my feelings or stress with my family or friends. They have to pressure me into discussing my feelings. I let my emotions build up until they explode and the crocodile tears fall.

I am very indecisive. One of the hardest things in life for me is making decisions. I always try to look to others to make my decisions for me. Usually I know what I want the person to decide for me but I pout if they choose the wrong route. In the end I usually do whatever I want. I even flip coins to avoid making decisions and go against the flip if I don’t like it.

Though I know it is not a good trait I am resentful to those who have things given to them. I have grown up in a middle class home in a small town and I have always worked hard for everything I received. I bought my own car, pay my insurance, pay for my cell phone, and anything else I need. Don’t get me wrong, my parents help me with everything they can and are wonderful people. I know that when someone is born they don’t choose where they fall on the social ladder but I still have a bit of jealously toward their financial situation.

These basic traits as well as many others make up who I am and how I interact with others in society. There is much more that makes up someone’s personality that can not be expressed by traits. Environment, beliefs, morals, and life goals are also very important aspects to focus on.
