My negative traits:

1- I am very impatient with people when they agree to take my advice and not follow through with it.

2- I do procrastinate getting things done when they become a hassle.

3- I am very homophobic and can be pretty insensitive at times.

4- I have a good sense of humor and love to joke but their are times when I just don't know when to quit.

5- I get very annoyed with myself when I mis place objects and belongings although I refuse to organize, which I know will solve the problem.

6- I am forgetful with appointments and other things that are not scheduled consistently. I don't take the time to write these thing down. ( I guess 5 & 6 would fall under negative trait # 2)

7- I really dislike change.

With this all I can suggest is maybe friendly reminders. I know that when ppl give me advice often I say I will do whatever and then I forget or I do it once and then forget . Sometimes its just harder then one may seem to take adive and put into action. I know for myself I get very frusrated at times when I suggest something to someone and they agree but really don't mean it. I try to look at it as I have done my part by giving my two cents. [red]

I use to be like this before I moved to Portland Manie. I live in a small town in Maine and it wasn't really heard of being gay and what not. I was very against it and couldn't stand the thought until I moved to portland Maine. My best friend was Gay and he changed my outlook and opened a new world of acceptance. I am still uncomfortable around them at times more so around lesbians. But I found through living there that they are just like me and you just they perferr a different life style which I feel is there choice. WHen I have a problem is when they try to push their way onme but so far I have not run into that often. They are human and can be just as fun going shopping and what as anyother person. I do find my self hard to accept them like having children but that is my own personal belief and would never push that on anyone and I treat them just as I treat everyone else. Look at them as a person not as a gay or les. [red]

Next time you are at walmart or even a dollar store look for those small desk baskets. Keep important papers in them all you would have to do is drop them in. Other then that I don't kno because I get very annoyed when I do that also. [red]

I think a lot of ppl dislike change and that its fairly common I know for myself I get extremely over whelmed and stressed out when I have changes in my life.[red]
