You could make a good argument that it’s much easier to identify traits that make people likable than unlikable. That’s because all of us have absorbed so many TV shows, movies, comics, and fairy tales that have characters in them that we’re supposed to identify with or admire that it’s not that hard to figure out what makes people likable. Just spend a few minutes thinking about why you like Spider-Man, Hermione Granger, Forest Gump, Indiana Jones, Moana, and James Bond and you will probably be able to come up with a pretty solid list of things that make you like someone.
At the risk of violating habit #10, the reason I vigorously agree with this list is that it describes my progressive acquaintances to a "T". Everything is race, or climate disaster or this ism or that phobia- when you can't have a conversation without feeling like you're walking on egg shells, that person will lose time with me until it's completely gone. If I could add one trait, it would be "Constantly ignoring reality and engaging in magical thinking." Thanks, John.
Lots of truth here. Cheers John!
