Everyone has a general demeanor that we display as we interact together, and our personality type can be readily identified by the impression we make on each other. So, do you present with a positive or negative outlook, energy? Are you polite with everyone, or are you rude to some? Are you a listener, or, are you a talker?

I'm both. Cuz I wanna be.

Really, being a talker or listener has no bearing on your energy imo.

But as an ornery ol' cuss, I must be negative? Only I like to smell flowers.

Actually I can be all of those

yikes... so I've made it too wordy again, you think?

me too... I would imagine all of us are at one point or another...

I am normaly nice and polite but I tend to expect the worst outcome. I am trying to work towards having a positive when in trouble times. It is easier to tell someone it will turn out ok but it is hard the have faith that it will be ok when you are the one going through tuff times.

I try to treat others the way they treat me and hopefully I'm never rude to others when it is not called for... I try to be positive not saying I always am...

Nope, and I don't think.

Excuse me whilst I be ornery and growl at this cat (so dodo can't eat it).

I hear you, Metal Shadow, and you make an excellent point too... trying to remain positive during hard times is difficult, but all we can do is our best, and those we care for will understand...

You've piqued my curiosity with your reply, TxsGal... "hopefully I'm never rude to others when it is not called for."

I've often questioned myself when it comes to my behavior towards others, on whether I handled a situation right or not.... and here you seem to agree that sometimes being rude is necessary? Can you give an example of when it's proper to react negatively? Every time I try to justify it to myself, I still feel guilty, but I've never asked anyone else how they handle it, so I can experience a different result... if you could offer some advice.....

I'm just myself.

I tend to be a very positive person. Even when things look darkest . . Their is always tomorrow and who knows what it will bring? I also tend to be a listener all my kid and their friends come to me to listen to their drama. I am honest with what I see in their situation try to guide them and love them on matter what path they choose. :)

Hummm well actually it is hard to pin point at times when it is necessary. At times it seems that some just don't get the point or don't care too. Then you have to be straight forward with them..

Then there are times that some seem to feel being rude to others is okay due to they are online. Sorry but being online is not and excuse to be rude. And at times they need to be set straight as well...

When I do say things back I try to do it in such a way that it is not being hateful but straight to the point. Can't help if at times it makes them look a bit stupid in the process...

Some just don't take the time to think before they type their words towards others.... It is funny how more are actually ruder online then they would ever be in person...

I have a big heart and would never intentionally hurt anyone... But push me in a corner and watch me come out with the claws full force...

Ohh and even though I'm very much a talker believe it or not I listen while I talk...

I like doin' things the normal way....

The biggest problem with some dark times is just not knowing what to do.

Positive, all the way.
And I never hold on to anger at others.
I learned a long time ago, that only
hurts me, they couldn't give a corkscrew.

I find negative people a downer and
avoid them when possible.
They have to live with themselves, I don't.

Naturally cheery, just my nature.

Conciously I´m a positive person. I do believe in inconditional love, to appreciate people for who they are and not for what they have or what they think and stuff like that. Almost all of the time I vibrate in that energy, but I´m only human and I do get mad or sad or envious or cocky or vain or a lot things that to several people could think are bad. When I catch myself thinking that way o feeling that kind of things I just accept it, breath it and let it go. In the end we choose how we are going to react to things or situations. I choose to be positive and proactive =D.
