At the heart of personality is the need to feel a sense of being lovable without having to qualify for that acceptance.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I suppose one should have an integrated personality, but I've never really seen the point.
If you want to be loved, be lovable.
Personality is less a finished product than a transitive process. While it has some stable features, it is at the same time continually undergoing change.
Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they're alive and human.
I like to think that my arrogance, impetuosity, impatience, selfishness and greed are the qualities that make me the lovable chap I am.
Sometimes I feel an obligation to be accessible as a personality, but for me the driving force since the beginning has always been good work, taking risks, trying new things. If the door opens, go through it. Always go forwards.
The most basic human desire is to feel like you belong. Fitting in is important.
The question of likability is a bit of a puzzler for me. You know, I don't write people with likability in mind. It's more whether or not I find them compelling.
A person however learned and qualified in his life's work in whom gratitude is absent, is devoid of that beauty of character which makes personality fragrant.
I don't have the confidence to be a personality.
