My writing:
The personality trait that I most dislike is selfishness. Why? Because a selfish person puts her/his interest first and these people don't want to know the problems of other people. They don't want to know the suffering of another and they live for themselves.
On the other hand it's good that the people will can to make their own protective bubble to other people's problems don't affect them.
However also be isolated from the world is harmful and deny reality.
Hello Elena I am Montse and this is a blog testing
I dislike possessive people. I believe that possessive people, are very controlling and manipulative also they are generally insecure. Their character is very absorbent and they pretend to have always near to the people they want.
In my view, these people are usually very jealous and they don´t let you interact with other people.
In my view, i dislike people who is moody, because sometimes are rude and always create discussions wherever they go, they don´t matter if you are happy or not.
On the other hand if you are cheerful, you won´t have any problem with that people.
I dislike selfish people because they think they are more important than others and never show any concern for others.They usually are loners and possessive people.
Selfish people don`t want to share their things,their ideas and so they can`t be happy because when we are with others you can learn a lot.
MY IDEAL PARTNER
in my opinion my ideal partner would be a person with these physical characteristics and personality.
First,he would be tall,well built and in his forties with short dark hair, green eyes and tanned skin.He would dress in smart and stylish clothes.
Second,the characteristics of personality would be:polite,clever,sociable,friendly
and romantic,for example, as George Cloney.However,a person who loves me as I am would be the most important aspect for me.
