“We like people for their
qualities, but we love them for their flaws” I always thought that quotes was
by Eleanor Roosevelt, and it’s somewhat disappointing to find out that it’s
from some movie call “Hellboy” instead. I guess it’s still a good quote. I do
think that qualities and flaws of a person are often a different side of the
same coin. Flaws are often the qualities,
but taken too far and applied too generally. I have, of course, made a chart to
illustrate my point.

they are just nice to everyone

They are very moral, reliable people.

You have to spend a lot of time reassuring them that some things are
okay to let slide, and, no, it does not make them a horrible person
|

Sensitive

They notice when you are down about things, and are understanding

They are easily hurt or offended and they hold grudges.

|
They don’t need you.
