Labelling myself

I'm finally up to the exercises portion of my Shyness book. This next one requires input from friends.

I had to come up with a list of 10 words, phrases, and traits that describe me best. Here goes:

1. a good listener
2. pretty
3. shy
4. loyal
5. caring
6. harsh/critical
7. impatient
8. funny
9. lazy
10. quiet

Next, I had to rank them in "importance" from 1 to 10. I didn't understand that, so I skipped it.

Last, I had to ask a friend which are the two most and the two least characteristic of me. So, friends who read this: What do you think?

Ok, after the flukiness with the mouse and the keyboard I am ready to answer your question and commit my words to the World Wide Web.
I thought about your question all day, even jotted down some notes.
First of all, you are pretty, that is a given. You are pretty as Patty is pesky, and Patty is super pesky. Of the ten traits I think you are mostly caring and funny. And for the least characteristic I came up with lazy and quiet.
So there is my first comment, it wasn't as bad as I thought!
I hope I also helped in someway.

That Patty! You're right, she is quite the pesk.

Of course you helped. Thank you!

P.S. I'm going to have to see those notes.

ok, first, my take on the "importance" part...i think you are supposed to decide what are the most important traits that you've listed (i.e. do you think being a good listener is a "good quality"?)

now for my picks...

Most:
good listner
critical (don't start gasping!!! there's a reason for my pick. i think that you have an excellent realistic view of the world. your view requires you to be critical. also, i think you are your harshest critic. you demand only the best in the people around you...which makes you a GREAT friend. so critical is NOT a "bad" or terrible trait)

Least:
lazy
impatient
