16 Qualities I Hate In People

"Being manipulative is not a positive thing."

16 Qualities I Hate In People
vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net

Being manipulative is not a positive thing. If the only way that you can get through life is to manipulate everyone you meet, even your loved ones, that's just sad.

1. Alcoholics

If you have a drink in your hand every single time I see you, or if you have to have a drink to have fun, that's just ridiculous and absurd.

2. Big-mouthed

Gossiping is childish. It's one thing to gossip every once in a while, but the people that only ever gossip and talk about nothing else- I can't stand those people.

3. Childish (applies to adults)

I feel as though there is a difference between being childish and being immature. To me, being childish is best described as middle adult behaving similar to a toddler.

4. Dependent


I'm not talking about slightly dependent, I'm talking about those people that honest to God would crumple up and die if they weren't with someone for so much as five minutes.

5. Oblivious

This is just painful. I've met someone who is honestly so oblivious, you could talk about them to their face and they still wouldn't understand.

6. When someone doesn't laugh, they just say "That's so funny!"

This is just plain annoying. Is it really funny? Is it?

7. Idiotic

I need people to be at least slightly intelligent, otherwise holding a conversation is painful. You'd be surprised at the number of people who don't have a vocabulary above an 8th-grade level- it's annoying to have to stop and define words every other sentence.

8. Lewd

Being frank, I can't stand people who are known for sleeping around or cheating.

9. Liar

I hate liars. I hate when people blatantly lie, and I hate when people don't stick with their stories if they do lie- it's just pathetic.

10. Melodramatic

If you exaggerate everything that happens in your life, I can't stick around.

11. Overly-sensitive

Oh my god, if you can't take even the smallest amount of criticism, if you cry when someone doesn't cling to you- I can't handle that (mostly because I don't know how to deal with other people's emotions).

12. Selfish

This sort of ties in with narcissistic, but selfishness doesn't always match the narcissism level. I don't deal with selfish people, it's a waste of my time.

13. Unsophisticated

This isn't a big deal when you think about general unsophistication. I get that not all of us are sitting in the living room sipping champagne and laughing about whatever our neighbor's drama is, hell I'm not doing that. However, when you're starting nuclear arguments with guests, you have some serious thinking to do.

14. Vain

When you have the rest of these characteristics and you think that you're "all that", oh no.

15. Gluttonous/ Materialistic

Again, as with dependent, there is a line. It's all right if you have three cars to yourself or a closet full of expensive clothes. It's more than annoying when you spend what seems to be 80% of your monthly paycheck on things you will never need.

16. Immature

When you've been out of your sorority for 15 years, but you still act like the television stereotype of a blond sorority sister that drinks her days away and gossip about everything under the Sun, please stop.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
