October Meme, Day 23
Hey, lookee here - posting two days in a row. *shakes head* What am I coming to? I'll start being reliable and consistent any minute now.
Speaking of which -
23 What is a character trait you despise in others, but you know you also have that same trait?
I don't really despise any traits in others, apart from things like a tendency to violence, habitual criminality and things like that. Despise is such a strong word. This is probably a matter of connotations, possibly trans-Atlantic connotations. Because 'despise' has connotations of superiority - you despise things that do not apply to you because you feel you are better than that, so you also look down on the person you despise, as lesser.
Dislike and disapprove of, however - that I can address: A lack of tact. *g*
The rest of the month's questions can be found under the cut on day 1's post.
