Oh.

This is from The Atlantic.

The Atlantic is filled with old wrecks, crabs and sewage.

It’s also the name of an ocean.

If your friends get you a blind date with
someone who has ‘a good personality,’
head for the nearest exit.

I enjoy watching Doc Martin.

The main Character has a unique personality without really having any personality at all.

It’s a conundrum, a quandary, a dilemma, an enigma or maybe it’s just another mystery of life...

“Personality” is merely a projected image used to create a desired outcome in social/interpersonal situations. It is your actions while alone that denote one’s character, the true measure of a person.

No, NPCs would be parrots or groupthinkers, but they are bombastic and appear to have personality because of it.

Is “wooden personality” a thing? Those people who don’t get sarcasm and other forms of figurative language have it.

Better no personality than a personality like a toilet seat.

Another ridiculous study. A very invalid study. People who are “quiet and reserved”, “not very unique” and “basic” have personalities. They have a quiet and reserved personality. A not very unique or basic personality. The only folks without a personality are dead.

I wouldn't say a quiet and shy person has no personality.

The person "without a personality" is the one who is so single-minded that all they can talk about is their one obsession, whether it's ferrets or flatware or fritters or flying fish or whatever.

Take a trip on a nuclear submarine. The entire crew put together couldn’t come up with one personality. The most deadpan people on earth. Ziltch personality on-board.

Another stupid study without a basis for any valid conclusion.

FYI Everyone has a personality unique to their own self.

Well if you want to get all spiritual, it means there is no false self (actually any self is false, but that's a long story)

But a person with 'no self' would actually be very lively at times, very quiet at times, just like nature.

"No personality" in this article means 'he has a personality, and I call it 'no personality' ... just like you might say a soccer team has 'no talent' when really it has a talent for sucking.

But in general, a good goal in life is to at the very least know that your personality is not self, it's just a winning formula you've learned to navigate the earth and keep your skin bag alive. That doesn't mean it's not real.

It just means, if you build a house with a hammer, don't try to move into the hammer when you're done building. Move into the house! This means: don't think of yourself as your set of habits you call your 'personality' and then identify with it - calling it 'me' 'I' 'mine'. This is a big lie and nobody can at the same time believe that and walk into his True Home.

Ok I have no real point except that set off a few thoughts.

It used to be not good if all the boys could say about you was “she has a great personality”.

Pearl Bailey.

“...and think of all the books
about du Barry’s looks,
What was it made her the toast of Pa-ree?
She had a well-developed....
personality.”

I don’t read the article but I’d chalk it up to fear. Because I spend time with special needs people and people with intellectual disabilities and even lots of those, even mynson who doesn’t speak, have great personalities, senses of humor, etc.

If you’ve made yourself super bland it’s because you are afraid to be yourself. Period. Even the intellectually disabled can have great individual personalities. A personality is a soul connecting to others.

The Truth About People Who Have No Personality...

“People with no personality are those who don’t bombard other people with their preferences and thoughts like little opinion drones. And their image suffers for it.”

Like many other things in life, it is - damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. It is rather sad if you think about it.

Sort of reminds me of my mother, she never said a bad thing about anybody and was a wonderful mother, who grew up dirt poor and picking cotton, went through the great depression and WWII with 13 brothers and sisters and made it work. There’s nothing wrong with the personality trait described above. What’s wrong it’s how other people handle it... through ridicule and gossip.

How about someone who doesn't swing her arms?

Or knows mechanical pencils?
