The worst parts of me

[pin]

Last week I shared with you a list of my dateable characteristics as composed by my friends.  I thought it was only fair if I followed up with a list of things that make me annoying at best and hard to love at worst.

:: I'm emotional.
A true water sign and introvert, I feel things very deeply.  And I react with my emotions rather than any form of logic. 

:: I can be naggy about plans.
I like to know what's happening and when.  If we're going to hang out, I need to know the details ASAP. I get nervous until I have them.

:: I'm a worrier.
I can take the smallest thing and jump to the worst possible conclusion. In fact, I think that's my specialty.

:: I always have a story ... and I'm a rambler.
I think I can blame this on my writer tendencies.  My brain has stored a myriad of tales that I like to share whenever I'm given a chance ... or when I create a chance for myself.  I still haven't learned how to effectively gauge when people are actually interested in hearing what I have to say.  I'm not good at small talk!!

:: I am a cat lady.
I don't really see this as a flaw, but apparently a lot of people do. I would be rich if I could collect money for every time I've heard someone say they "hate cats" or would never live with someone who has cats.  (Those who are allergic get a free pass on the second one.)

:: I'm self-deprecating.
I poke fun at my flaws all the time. It's a defense mechanism. I feel like I have to say it about myself before someone else says it about me. 

So ... there you have it.  I didn't ask my friends for this list.  I'm not sure I could handle their answers (see the emotional section).

Clearly, I'm not perfect, and I never will be.  But I'm me.  And I think that's an OK person to be.
