Are you the kind of person who rarely gets mad? Are you usually happy? Your answers are the clues to your personality which can affect your relationships, and the process of finding someone right for you starts with getting to know yourself better.

This is an advertisement. Let's turn it into a real discussion, without the added expense.


There's lots of things in an individuals personality that can make or break a relationship . . . so a better question would be "What are you looking for in terms of personality compatability in another person and what can you improve in your own personality that would be helpful in resolving conflict?

I have motor mouth disease. No - truly I do!


I KNOW I talk too much - in life and online, typing, writing, you name it. I tend to run on and explain too much.


But i really, really want people to understand me, or the point I'm trying to get across, etc.


I know this habit has driven bosses nuts in the past - other people aren't so bothered by it.


I do have attention deficit disorder, and the ability to pick out just the important parts in a conversation, or to take notes at a lecture, etc - are the kind of things that just boggle me. I can't seem to 'filter' the way 'normal' people do. ADD also makes me rather impulsive - I tend to blurt and interrupt - I don't want to, but I can't help myself. It's like my mouth engages before my brain fully kicks in.


I take medication and I have any number of coping mechanisms that help me deal with the ADD (But they don't do much to curb my impulsive mouth which has gotten me in trouble more times than I can count) But even when I try to cut back my own wordiness, when I think I'm cutting to the bare minimum, others still think I'm meandering & babbling.


I have a fairly high IQ, I'm not stupid. I'm a pretty likeable person,but I realize that thistrait turns alot of people off.


So how do I fix this, or deal with it, without making ME feel like I'm going to explode?


(I'm not joking - this is a serious and real fault of mine!)

My friend says that I write people off too quickly. He says my problem is that I have this list (imaginary) that I check off whenI meet a new guy. If he doesn't match up, I write him off. My defense is this. I have been in a relationship for 10 years with the one guy. Even though it had it's own set of problems, I felt was near perfect. So I already know what I want, what I can live with, and what I can live without. I think my friend was exxagerating a bit when he said that I try to match the list down to the mit pickiest of details. That is not true. However, I have to pose the question. How many boxes do I have to leave unchecked before I'm settling?


I guess, my problem is that I'm an idealist.

Am I the only one who saw this article as a sales pitch for eHarmony's Premium Personality Profile?

There are always 2 sides to every story, even when one person is wronged. I "enabled" my last longish-term relationship to continue, whereas I should've ended it long beforehand.

This was not an article. It was an advertisement.


If EHarmony really wanted to sell it's premium personality profile, it would be better to write the article first and then address how the premium personality profile addresses the issues in the article (case study).
