What is your toxic trait? \ stacker news ~Memes

1327 sats \ 56 comments \ @k00b 19 Oct Memes

One of my favorite text ~memes recently is people stating their "toxic" trait. Often the toxic trait is humorous and self-deprecating - overstating the trait's toxicity. Other times the trait is seemingly benign but surprisingly toxic when taken to the extreme. I've also seen it used to state something true about oneself, and even self-congratulate, using the meme only for its familiar packaging.

What's your toxic trait?

I always make prejudices about others.

We all do. It's good to have awareness about it at least so that we may open up to others more.

Mine is conflict avoidance, no doubt. I'm a real asshole deep down.

I totally agree with you, I also avoid conflicts even though I see myself as a big fool.

44 sats \ 0 replies \ @nym 19 Oct

Yes I do that a lot also.

Are you saying that avoiding conflict makes you an asshole or that you avoid conflict to avoid being an asshole?

#2. I have strident opinions that I suppress.

I think I am a very loving person . And sometimes my love and passion can be seen as being an asshole. I can't control how other people receive me.

I can be a kind of energy sinkhole sometimes I think. At times I can appear quite low energy and when someone comes at me with a positive energetic smiling demeanour I don't necessarily reciprocate that. Instead of bouncing it back it seems like it just sort of dissipates or absorbs. I have at times responded in a low energy way and felt a little bad about that. I don't mean to dampen the positive active energy but I think that may have happened sometimes. There can be a fine line sometimes between being authentic, not faking and being socially considerate, tactful or not a minor asshole.

My toxic trait is thinking of posting but never actually posting because I know that the algorithms are never going to show my posts to anyone because we have all been shadow-banned by the big tech companies.

My toxic trait is that I can be honest about things I'd rather not be truthful to people about.

My toxic trait is I expect people to meet me at the level I'm at instead of meeting them at the level they'll relate better to.

My toxic trait is that I assume I can fix everything and everyone

I can relate to all of those things.

I've done this my whole life. I am surprised how well it has worked out. Part of me thinks it is good. I like taking as much time as I can to visualize things before moving. And then I move very fast.

My toxic trait is fear of error. I always think I have to be an expert to start taking action.

This is a tough one. I deal with this often. I never want to be a beginner at anything. I am learning that it is just best to take steps. Making mistakes is how we grow.

I am really well overall. I struggle with a general sadness that I feel for people in general. I feel sad that so many people are enslaved when I don't feel we have to be.

Thinking or saying you have a toxic trait is a command to your subconscious Mind to "Make it So".

It is much better for you to think about every body's nice traits.

And your own nice traits.

Is that toxic? Someone has to do it.

I think that we all have many toxic traits, I have always been very demanding or critical of myself. Many times, I have been very positive about other things and sometimes I have been excited about things that have never happened and because of that I have hurt myself.

I’m pretty selfish IMO. I like alone time but sometimes that conflicts with family time and obligations

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @Msd0457890 19 Oct

What have you done to improve that?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @nym 19 Oct

I try to be more present and involve them more in things I enjoy doings, and vice versa.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Msd0457890 19 Oct

Thanks, I'll try that too

13 sats \ 0 replies \ @SatsMate 19 Oct

i've got a few. First one that comes to mind is I can be very selfish and its not good for friends, family and loved ones. Definitely something I have improved over time though.

13 sats \ 0 replies \ @Taft 19 Oct

I have another one as well, which is related to the first one: My toxic trait is pushing myself past my limits and then pretending I'm fine...

This reminds me of the interview question “what’s your biggest weakness”, answered by “I work too hard” or some other similar response
