Personalities and what I like

Question: What personality trait do you admire most and why?

I would have to say I put a lot of credence in honesty. I can handle most anything other than people not telling the truth. If someone lies to you once, then it is hard to believe anything they tell you after that and anything they told you before comes into question. Everyone embellishes stories, which I can overlook. But to out and out lie is hard to ignore.

I do love someone that is open, someone that doesn't seem to take time to phrase their sentences right. Maybe because I am like that. I am an open book. I don't usually hedge around things, unless I feel saying it outright will do damage is someway. I always try to tell it as it is. Sometimes I come off rude and abusive, I suppose. But I do like people that you know where you stand with them.

I also love someone who is funny. I love to laugh. If someone can tell a great story, I love being around them. I guess that is why all my family members are big jokers. They know they can get around Mom by just being funny or telling a silly joke. It usually works, too. That is not a bad thing, because it can really lighten the load when things get tense.
