What traits generally viewed as negative do you like to unironically own?
Mediocrity is one of mine. I’m eying smugness.
Actual negative traits, not mere “contrarian” attitudes like snark, sarcasm, or crotchetiness which are more tones designed to discomfit others than traits.

Thats not generally viewed as negative. In fact it’s admired as conscientious scholarship 😬

That’s not generally viewed as a negative. Occasionally tiresome if taken too far, but not negative.

I fail a lot at things. Maybe because I try a lot of things I’m not good at. And keep failing until I gain competency. Anyway, I’m comfortable being a failure. I’m immune to failure. Other people’s failings bother me less. Somehow I’ve overridden my childhood perfectionist code.

Not really a negative. The closest true negative to that would be being a quitter.

🙄 mediocre and smug isn’t controversial, Jim, it’s default
I’m comfortable with the inherent compromises in any system or policy.
I can appreciate a system that produces failures if overall it’s a utilitarian gain.
I’m comfortable making value judgements.
