People say I become a complete asshole when I'm bored. And it's true, and I know it. And I'm trying to be aware of it and do something about it.
Other People's Criticism of you!

I don't get many people telling me what they think of me, most people are either too afraid to do so, or don't care enough to do so, so I hafta rely on my own speculation, which is very unkind, and I would rather not post it.
But yeah, some of it's true... most of it is only true when I make it true through my own compliance with my less awesome side...

I'm often told that I lack any form of sympathy or empathy for my fellow man. People tell me this because Inam prone to make scathing criticisms of everyone (including myself). However, I am actually very sensitive to others' emotions. It hurts me to criticise people, and I actually do feel upset - close to crying - when I read or see tragic media.
Another criticism is that I'm very argumentative, when all I actually do is point out he problems with what someone is telling me whereas many others would not. I don't want other people to feel like they can lie to me, because I don't lie to them.
Which leads me on to the third thing. People criticise me for not being able to keep secrets. This is true. I cannot keep secrets; I refuse to lie to anyone. Admittedly, I will occasionally find myself equivocating, but I do my best not to lie to others.
EDIT: Apologies for the poor wordsmanship in this post. I'm on an iPod so comprehensive editing is an ugly process.

Strange,prick,lazy,cold (literal and non-literal)
Mostly all true about what people say about me, that may be that i don't bother to put up a defense or care enough to listen but hell, it doesn't really phase me.

Most people who know me would probably call me a cynical, ego-maniacal, overly-emotional, shallow, paranoid dude with sleeping problem.
But I'm also a damn good looking, friendly, smart guy (who also happens to be in great shape) and I'm working on being less lazy and getting my life in order. (Sorry, my ego won't let me criticize myself without at least pointing out some of my strengths.)
Edit: Oh, I also play devil's advocate more often than I have legitimate conversations, so people tend to hate me sometimes for that.

Me? Brutally honest, and callous. Only to people i don't know or that piss me off.
I have been told I am not a nice person but that is normally when people first meet me after a while they realise I don't mean what I say.

If you really want to know, you sir are a scoundrel and a cur, not fit for the polite society of the Escapisté and it's esteemed members.PsychicTaco115 said:I honestly have no idea what people say about me.
If any of you want to, please do. I'm always curious what others think (though that doesn't mean I give it any "real" weight

Nah, you're alright Taco, you have a cool avatar.
People often tell me I don't emote enough. This is often an observation rather than a criticism, but it's true. Unless something is so funny that I can't help but laugh, I really don't change my facial expression often. I don't know why it is, but emoting facially just doesn't feel natural to me.
Come to think of it, people don't criticize me much anymore (At least not to my face). It's odd that I get less crap from people in high school, when I was picked on quite a bit in elementary through middle school. I always heard about high school being the worst of it for nerds. Lucky me

Shy, vain, overly self-critical, overly ambitious, a ranter, a nitpicker, and far too trusting. As for my opinion of these criticisms:
I know I'm too shy. I write better than I speak.
Vanity-wise, I'm constantly concerned with my appearance; I have a hard time ever believing that I look presentable yet I obsess about trying to look so.
It's hard for me to tell when I'm being overly self-critical or not. I have been known to reprimand myself when I get an A in a class because I didn't get As on all the individual tests too. I guess that's a bit extreme. Unless I do an absolutely amazing job, I end up feeling like a failure. I suppose that means that this criticism is spot on.
I don't know if I'm overly ambitious. I'd like to be a writer, preferably a novelist, and I'm working on that and we'll see how it goes. There are other, more mainstream routes I can take should that fail. I hope it doesn't.
I embrace my tendency to rant about particular subjects. I try only to do it with people who are close friends or more and even then, only when it seems appropriate.
When I was younger I nitpicked everything in sight, sometimes to the annoyance of others. These days I've learned to reign in my tendency to dissect things and bring to light all their flaws so that I only do it when it's appropriate, or so I like to think.
I would actually say I don't trust enough; which goes back to the whole shyness business. I hold back a lot because I don't trust most people. In fact, I don't completely trust the majority of my family, (which is the result of having an extended family that holds viewpoints that I have major issues with and vise versa) and only in the last year or so have I actually begun to put some trust in those whom I've called friend.

People always tell me to speak more clearly. Can't blame them for it. I got a pretty dark voice and both mumble and speak quickly. Tried to speak slower, but it doesn't work.
Gets a bit tiresome though. I pretty much have to repeat half of the things I say at least once.

They say that my penis is too huge, and that I'm such a good person that it makes them ashamed to even exist.
Oh ok, I'm told am exceedingly arrogant and insulting to people. It's ok though. I'm a master of self-depreciating humor.

Whiner.
Crybaby.
Easily excitable and scared.
Annoying voice, my voice varies wildly depending on my mood.
None to bright.
When I'm in a good mood I pretty much shoot bolts of sunshine which annoys people sometimes.
I make up for it all because everyone wants their token gender confused spaztastic friend.

My mum says I'm lazy for playing video games instead of going out with friends, it's a true but she also moved us to a different country away from my closest friends. People also say that I'm quite and should talk more, I am shy so that's true.
Everyone who's ever criticised me are under my floor boards. I don't get much criticism nowadays.chinangel said:
