What part of your personality besides the common default 'I tell it like it is' or any variations of that, cost you most in society?

[lilimarlene]

Do most people, really tell it like it is?...I highly doubt that. I could honestly say that I don't give a lot of thought of how my behavior "costs " me in society. Maybe it's because my social skills are quite good. I am warm, charming and agreeable for the most part. I genuinely like interacting with people and they can tell that I am sincere. I also have no problem taking a stance in something I believe in even if it’s unpopular and I can be confrontational if the situation warrants it. The people that I like to be surrounded with for the most part admire me for my honesty as they always know where they stand with me and the rest I truly do not care about, I have no need to be loved by everyone.There is also nothing I admire more than someone who has the integrity to be honest and forthright. Hence the quote “I'm sick of just liking people. I wish to God I could meet somebody I could respect"

Someone you are close to moving away.

How many pairs of shoes do you own?

[lilimarlene]

mmmn that's not a "his or that" question but ok ,more than 20.
