Admirable traits.

[000Ronald]

I was talking to my father and my friend Zeb (at different times, obviously). Both conversations turned interesting when they both told me they admired me because I had "Balls".

Now, this is interesting to me because 1) I consider these two people to know me better than anyone, and 2) I'd always thought people liked me because I was an intelectual. I asked them what they meant, and they both said, in more or less words, "There are things you are willing to do without a second thought that other people wouldn't or couldn't do, and that's admirable."

So, what is it about you that people admire? Are you kind? Brave? Levelheaded? Something else entirely? I simply ask out of curiosity, and I apologize if I've overstepped my bounds.

 

[Lord Krunk]

My charisma and creativity under pressure.

Sorry, this might become a "clash of the egos" thread.

I don't know if being absurdly blunt is an admirable trait, but I got it in spades.

Also, I can usually view arguments, situations, etc. very objectively, sort of a "will this matter to you in a few days? If not, why are you so mad?" thing.

 

[Najos]

No idea, never thought to ask and no one has ever told me.

 

[The Iron Ninja]

I would like to think that it would be my ability to sneak up behind people and stab them in the neck.

But friends have told me that I know more about useless Viking facts than anyone else they know.

I really hope not. That would be a huge disapointment for me.

Hear Hear... e.g Me Too lol...

Also, i can generally find at least 1 thing in Everyone i've met so far that i've liked. Therefore, friends with practically everyone i meet, excluding those who find something wrong with me :S

 

[Sarctastic]

Saying whatever I think. I suppose bluntness too.

 

[DevilSaint44]

Everyone I know says that Im like a ghost.They dont hear me and see me coming or walking away.
Which is pretty admirable for a guy thats 188 cm tall.And I dont treat every women like an object.

 

[stompy]

My intellect, I suppose.

 

[PurpleRain]

My stunning good looks! My dashing personality! My ability to bullshit.

 

[Azhrarn-101]

From what others tell me, that i'm a nice guy and a great listener.
To bad those qualities are apparently unwanted in the opposite sex, as I've lost 2 girlfriends to them.
I quickly fell into the "best friend" category and no longer in the "love interest" one.

 

[Copter400]

My stunning good looks! My dashing personality! My ability to bullshit.

Mr. Rain is a Grade A pathetic loser.

What's my trait? Calling people nasty names.

 

[The Thief]

Edit: Erased. Reading the sentence back made me feel like an egotist...

 

[Poyer]

beeing completely detatched emotionally from the world, keeping an objective and true look at events. basically a psychopath, in a good way.

id like to add that most of you will probably have hard time living up to what youve said here. As if what anyone says about themselves can ever be completely true.

Me too.I thought I was alone on that one so I dont think of it like good traits

Only the best.

 

[manicfoot]

People have told me that I'm kind (in a really unobvious way) and loyal *shrug* I don't know or care if thats true or not. I'm a pretty shit person imo

 

[Ultrajoe]

I am stupidly outgoing, to the point i can no longer feel fear at public speaking, meeting people or performing. Embarrassment ceased to exist a long time ago, fear of judgement is long gone. There are extraverts who think i need to slow down... Fear is a relative term, i have been shot, after that anything other than physical peril is about as scary as a sugar-cookie.

I am also funny. And i mean funny, i'm quick enough and intelligent enough to never let an opportunity for a joke pass, and whenever i end up performing an eye dry from laughter is a failure. Look for The Ultra Joe in stand-up or acting, you may 'psh' at my dreams but i have done a 9 to 5 job, and i never. will. again,... cubicle-coffins just suck the life out of you.

I often found myself wanting the traits i lacked, booksmarts, diligence, raw mathematical power... but when i ended up embracing the talents i did posses they turned out to be greater than i imagined.

I wish i was more like my 'nerd' friends (a relative term, and outside school a pointless one), and they wish they were more like me.

Why do we seek what we do not understand? i don't really know. But ill tell you what, mine are better at parties.
