I'll start.

I am so opinionated that I sometimes can't stop myself from hurting people's feelings. I want to engage so badly that I overdo, and it rubs people the wrong way. I'm rather unforgiving even though I hope others will forgive me. I'm overly revealing of my thoughts and feelings. I don't think enough before I reveal these feelings how to best communicate them to others, or about how it may affect them. I hold people to too high of a standard. I have a hard time loving others. I can be overconfident.

I am an aggressive driver and im trying to work on that...im certain that ALL of the other drivers are idiots, i get very mad and punch the gas...at this point I become another idiot...i always want to leave the pack in my dust and have the road alone

I fantasize that the world has ended and everyone is gone so i can ride my machine and find parking

Only a few things feel better than having a three laner to yourself!
GLORY and SPEED and ROCK make me happy

Im working on this because its obviosly a stupid compulsion...im not proud of this stupid behaivior
But i am a great driver

Thanks for responding. Admitting a problem is the only way to address it. That's the whole point of this thread for me. I too can be aggressive in my driving and I also consider myself an excellent driver. One thing that has really helped stabilize my mood and curb my aggression is leaving caffeine behind. I can't say enough about how much that helped, so if you've noticed me harping on it, yes I am annoying in relation to that subject. Another thing I thought of is that I am overly self-critical.

Guilty as well, although I think driving in the tri-state area could turn even the Dalai Lama into a raging lunatic.

You got that right
Im pretty nice really...i mean no harm

Behind the wheel im a total asshole

New York is great but its sort of lousy too...it changes you!
There is an anger and aggressive tendancy here that you have to take into youself or everyone will eat your lunch...
On guard all the time for a mugging, a car wreck, a subway blackout...New York is kind of lousy

Ive grown to dislike NY...thinking of North Carolina when i retire

I've been to basically every other area of this country except NY, New England. It seems very overwhelming to me and I feel like I get enough from movies. However, it's always in the back of my mind like I really want to see what I've been missing all my life.

NY is worth visiting in terms of the glorious museums that will leave you inspired for days, fun Broadway shows, sporting events, multinational cuisine, amazing historical sights...on and on and on... Its an astounding place

We have it all!

But prepare to be ripped off by dirtbags, accosted by bums, bothered by cops, charged $35 for parking close to the touristy sites...and a round of fisticuffs aint out of the question with a bunch of drunks
If you should find yourself bleeding in the gutter, nobody will even call for help

New York...the City That Never Sleeps and Always Lacks Class

As George Carlin once said,

"Did you ever notice how every driver who's going slower than you is a moron,
and every one going faster than you is a maniac?"

Bad self-discipline, love to engage in distractions, a bit emotionally distant (which isn't really all that bad).

I feel like if I have a few beers on the weekend, I gain a few pounds and then I’m slower in my softball games. Softball is my life, but I feel bad if I have a bad game
