Is anyone here a high maintenance person? If you like, please give example(s) of how you are not or might be a high-maintenance person.

By high-maintenance I mean ‘people who require a lot of time, money, or effort; they are someone who needs to be the center of attention; they require a high level of care and attention… demanding’

I am sometimes a high-maintenance person, but only in one regard. This will probably be the shortest thread in cs history. laugh

I have friends who are high maintenance..For example liposuction..Botox..Lip fillers..Huge false eye lashes..Hair extensions.. Long fake nails encrusted with diamonds..Fake tans as well as paying up to $1,500 for very long hair extensions in all colours..Gucci..Prada you name it they're into the best of the best..I'm so opposite not because I can't afford all that but because it's just not me..In saying all they they're as down to earth as I am.

I'm the type who will be out shopping..I will pick up something really nice to look at then say to myself yeah she's lovely but I'm never going to wear that or use this or if I did it would only be once so I put the item back where it belongs..

I'm a perfectionist when working out..I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my home sparkling of cleanliness so if that's classified as me being high maintenance I can live with that laugh

Honesty works for you, jac. If my memory is correct I think you have kept phone conversations going on longer than my record 7.5 hour continuous conversation with the same person several states away, wave

I dig the work out perfectionist thing. I’m happy to just get myself to a gym 4 days a week. I don’t get any respect when I am there anyways, as far as cleanliness at home…. I leave that to my Brazillian cleaning crew. That’s not a lot of work for them actually except the laundry now that i shower mostly at gyms since we are 100 percent back to normal social activities here. wave

Your memory has failed you, Gal.

I'm a deaf git.

I had my current phone for well over a year before I had a conversation, either because I don't hear it ringing, or because people know to text me. My daughter rang one day in an emergency childcare siituation and I happened to be looking at my phone when it lit up.

The trouble was, never having answered a call before, I didn't know how to. dunno laugh

I'm probably less intense face to face than I am here, mind. I put a lot of thought into my comments like I'm writing an essay and I don't speak in essay format.

Time, money and effort you say?
hmmm

Well if someone does not have time, its because to them you are not a priority.
Plain and simple.

If you are broke, don't get romantically involved or make plans you cannot afford.

If you are unwilling to put on the effort just stay single.
