Coldheaven: You were a great butcher who loved your customers. It’s just a bit sad you never owned your store. Myself I never liked working for a boss so I decided not to and took over the whole business.
...had thechance to buy a butchers shop ,from a friend but the thought of all the e,u rules.....frigde/freezer breaking down..........finances stopped me.........
I am a bad listener. Partly because I understand better written word, than spoken, and partly because I'm seldom interested in people and therefore indifferent to what they have to say about anything and usually it's the story of their life ***shudder***
Self-bettering in progress: I try to limit socializing with people, I'm indifferent to, and spend more time with and invest more energy in people, I like. And then really listen to them. Sometimes I menage :)
Tulefell: There’s a lot – and then another lot – of features, that we don’t like in others. But is there a your own feature, that you don’t like yourself?
And if yes, what do you do with it?
You call it a personality trait and expect others to accept it? Kinda part of the package?
Or you try to overcome it? And it's a self-bettering project in progress?
1. I come across as "short", or "curt", even though it isn't on purpose. (unless it is...) 2. Sometimes I chat on too much.....I'm working on that.... 3. I need to shed a few pounds, this is my New Year's Resolution #1.
Tulefell: And why don't you like it? Are you worse off with those features than without? In which way? Or are them part of your personality and make it unique?
Yep, part of my personality.i am not sure it makes me unique.My psychotherapist believes that all my problems are due to hyperemotionality.
Youcannow: Probably the fact that I don’t show my feelings enough when in a relationship. That doesn’t necessarily mean I care less . Ie. I rarely use the word love . It’s a word that’s thrown around too much & usually has a “sell by date” attached to it .
Well... if you realise that your partner / spouse would like some kind of reassurance of your feelings to them, it doesn't have to be the word "love", though nothing wrong with it if you love them. You can show affection in some other, non-verbal, way: a hug, a stroke, a kiss... something, that feels right for both of you.
Doing some of their part of house chores now and then is another way to show you care.

3. They say that losing some weight is good for everybody. Good luck!
1. I have a colleague, that sounds bossy, even brusque, in written. In the real life, he is totally a sweet darling. One would never guess.

I am not a psychotherapist and cannot have any kind of opinion on the subject. But if you think that it causes you problems, then I wish you to overcome it.
MysteriousGirl80: My webbed feet and hairy belly button.
All throughout the United States other citizens call us "ducks". (Much of Oregon is rainy, wet more often than not...also a college team is known as The Oregon Ducks - University of Oregon)
