Minus: Although, your choice of reaction also depends on your learnings, interactions, personal history, and intelligence. In other words, your personality will dictate your actions, whether knee-jerk or thought-out. You can still change what your knee-jerk ones are.

Amon: Mine is to smile, and I never, never did that two years ago. I've trained myself and... I'm actually a much happier person. I changed my personality from miserable and, yes, very 'emo', to a nice girl that dresses well and smiles sweetly and is very concerned about how others are doing.

I changed my personality.

You say we can't?

There is no need to address me as Dear Sam, Sam is fine.

If your argument is not that you thought people had a core personality then you may wish to brush up on your writing skills. As this is exactly what you said.

Yours Faithfully,

Sam.

If both of these statements are true, how did that happen? Seems impossible.

You didn't change your personality if your previous personality dictated your actions.

Your personality is the sum of you. You are not the sum of your personality.

Your actions dictate your personality.

My bad, everybody.
I say there are certain things you couldn't and/or wouldn't possibly change about yourself. I'm sure of that cause I experienced it.
I don't see how's that mysterious.

Depends what you mean about certain things about yourself. Your personality is one of the things you can change.

Can you change whether or not you like pickles? That one is debatable...

It's also debatable if that would constitute a personality trait.

Just for the record, I love pickles more than you can imagine.

A trained psychiatrist could have a field day with that one, Minus.

Yes...I used the dancing chili pepper for added effect, if you must know.

I would say it is not.

I used to love pickles, then I changed my mind... possibly.

*Cheers*

I would agree.

I have no doubt about that.

If what people 'perceive' you as is different from who you really are, shouldn't you be able to turn their perception of you into an advantage?
You have the power to make them do whatever you want, using your 'fragility, submissiveness and femininity'.
Huzzah!
People will only use you if you let them.

I think you will appreciate this...When I saw the title of this thread, I had no interest. I am not in the habit of discussing my sex life. Besides, if I did...and was honest...it would put people to sleep. I entered the thread earlier, simply because I knew you were probably saying something funny. I just read the post that started this. I was wondering why none of the responses were talking about bondage! That just goes to show you...

I must admit I often enter threads, such as this one, based on the people posting in them rather than the subject matter. And the reason I entered this one was because Minus might have said something funny again.

Shit boys, sorry to disappoint...
