My Personality

I am silly.

I am immature.

I am cheerful and happy most of the time.

I am childlike.

I love to laugh.

I don't take things too seriously.

I enjoy life.

I say things without thinking.

I don't analyze things that come out of my mouth - but sometimes I really should. I just talk and don't worry about what I say ... until later and then sometimes I am embarrassed by what comes out of my mouth.

I try not to "one up" people, but I think sometimes I do. What I hope I do is share in a conversation with the same experiences I have had. I really try not to "one up" people and I hope the way I share in a conversation - I don't do that. I really hope that anyway.

I don't care too much about what people think of me - most of the time.

I'm just me.

I haven't grown up too much and am still very much a kid at heart.

I like to have fun and be funny.

I am probably not as reverent minded/acting as I should be.

I feel I'm equal with everyone - even if you hold a higher calling or status in life then I do.

I like to be around people who love me and except me as I am. I think that is why I love working with children and in the Primary organization. Children don't judge and love you for who you are.

I tend to call people by their first name - often. It's gotten me into trouble when I called a friend who was a bishop by his first name (wasn't a good thing). I'm not very good at the whole "Sister" and "Brother" thing. I like to address people by their name - it's probably the customer service in me and acknowledging the "person" by using their name. I like to be called Sondra - not Miss, Mrs., Ms. or even Sister. I know it's a "respect" thing - but I really don't do it very well. Just call me Sondra.

I don't mean to offend people by my lack of respect - but I think I do.

I think I shock people with my lack of trying to be grown up and acting proper.

When I talk to someone, I just want to be me - not someone else. I don't sensor what I say or try to act like people think I should act.

I dance to my own song, I rule my own life. I don't like someone trying to control me or make me behave in a certain way. I don't like to be controlled - a huge thing for me. Don't try to take over my life, make me act a certain way, or try to rule me ... it won't make me happy.

I like to lead and am self assured.

I have high expectations of people.

I can handle anything set before me.

I work hard. I am not lazy.

I am creative.

I don't trust easily.

I don't think too deeply ... I am more childlike in my thought process. I accept things as they are and don't feel I have to analyze every bit and piece.

I feel comfortable in my own skin and who I am.

I love my alone time and my down time.

I'm not sure I can be a grown up - it seems too boring or stuffy and out of character of the inner me.

I hate disappointing people who depend on me and try my best to help, love and please people. I am a people pleaser - on my own terms I guess.

I avoid negative people like the plague. I have learned to ignore them. I have been told I need to repent and be nicer - but really I'm fine with those people if they stay away from me. I don't want their grumpy mean attitude invading my space, I don't need those kind of people around.

I sometimes wish I was sophisticated, grown up, mature and not so kid like. But at this point in my life, I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think I can change or maybe I don't want to.

Anyway .... that is my personality.
