When it comes to a lot of things, it seems there are two different types of people who exist. Sure, some people probably fit somewhere in the middle, but I think they usually sway more in one direction. I guess we could look at it like a spectrum. Anyway...
When it comes to sickness and injury, there are those who revel in it and there are those who try not to let it affect them. Some people love the attention and sympathy that sickness and injury brings them, so they make sure everyone knows about it, they play it up, and they make it an excuse to not do things... just because they can! On the other hand, there are people who ignore their sickness or injury the best they can and try to get on with life, often to the detriment of their healing and future health! I definitely fit into the second category.
When it comes to responsibility, there are those who blame everything on other people and there are those who take on way too much themselves. Some people think it's not their responsibility to clean up their mess (let alone someone else's! gasp!), and if something goes wrong it's definitely someone else's fault (even if they're the one who didn't put in the effort required to succeed). On the other hand, there are people who take the worries of the world on their shoulders or do so much for others that they either begin to be taken advantage of or they burn out. I think I'm somewhere in the middle here.
There are so many personality trait spectrums, but those are just two examples.
I find personalities and traits fascinating. I love people.
