Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

What are the best parts of your personality? What are the worst? Have you ever taken the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator? If so, which of the 16 personality types did you get? What personality traits do you like the most in other people? Which personality traits are the most difficult for you to get along with?

The best parts of my personality are I'm good at listening to people, I'm good at sensing when they are unhappy. I'm fairly laid back and there isn't very much that will shock me. I don't judge people. I always try to see things from where they're standing. I'm kind and warm and friendly.

The worst parts are how I always try to second-guess people. I have a tendency to wonder what they are getting out of any good deed. So, I guess that is a lack of trust of people. I also hate the way I always feel everything bad is my fault (like the world revolves around me, right?). I hate that. Also, I hate how much my initial thought is always to what others think of me. I'm a lot better at ignoring those concerns these days. But it's like my default setting that I'm working on re-programming.

I just took that test and I got ISFP-T. I had a read through and it's pretty accurate. Except for the name: Adventurer. That's not me. Although, I do see things differently to a lot of other people, and I prefer to do things my own way, and not the way I'm told is best.

I genuinely get along with most people, and I've never really thought about what types of people attract me the most/least. One trait I really don't deal well with in others is apathy. That drives me crazy. Like, have an opinion! Geez! I find loud people who are full of how great they are piss me off. They're hard work, and I feel exhausted if I spend a lot of time with them. I had a friend who was like this when I was younger, and I would find myself wanting her to make a mistake She didn't bring out the best in me. One other thing that drives me crazy is people who whine constantly about how terrible their life is, but do nothing to try to change it. It's like they like moaning. Oh, also people who are subtle limelight-huggers. I have one person in mind who is constantly complaining about all the struggles she faces every day. But, it's always in a subtle way. She'll make a joke about it. I'm not explaining this well. She needs attention, but she doesn't want people to know she needs it. I've had to block her on social media because she makes me want to do bad things

I love to hang out with people who are funny, friendly, honest, intelligent. I admire courage in all forms. I like people who make me smile and bring out the best in me. I like kind people.
