There are many types of people in this world. One being an adumbrate, who summarizes situations without much detail. Then there are self righteous asshats, apotheoses, who are so elevated above everyone that they are almost god-like. There are also ascetic people, these people are beating themselves up over their mistakes and lack self confidence. Some people can be the baubles of society, not applying themselves just being a decorative ornament. Beguilers are deceptive and manipulative non-trustworthy people. Surprisingly there are people that aren't so bad, the people that help burgeon others, by complimenting them and making people feel good about themselves. Sometimes people get married because there personalities complement each other very nicely. The "brick-walls" or the contumacious people in this world are the stubborn people that are thick-skulled. You know that old guy across the street, the curmudgeon, who constantly seems to hate life and would contribute more to his community on his deathbed, yeah don't be that guy. We all have parents that will didactically tell us to do our chores, go to bed, get good grades in school, or to stop lighting the neighborhood squirrels on fire because you won't listen to them. We all can be disingenuous at times, showing up to an interview for a job and stating that you love people, but truly you hate everyone and only enjoy food, netflix and sleep. There are also nice people that forgive so easily, it is almost unhuman; they would be so nice as to even exculpate a murderer of their wrong doings. Like me, there are the faux pas of the bunch, gracelessly falling at every chance given, and can barely talk in coherent language without sounding like a total jackass. Bipolar disorder can cause one of the personalities an affected person to fulminate at any giving instant with a loud outburst of screaming or emotion. I will revere great sarcasm toward the elitist scum in society the ones with the hauteur and pride that makes them feel like they are superior to everyone. Inhibitors are the ones that clog others, the ones that put people down and limit others. There are the opportunists, taking advantages of good deals, or even good people. I am a jeremiad, constantly complaining about how unethical society is and how people can be so reckless. Lastly the unconscionable are the people that have immoral values and are often irrational. This long and non-descriptive paragraph describes the different qualities in people, a variation of each of these qualities is what makes each of us unique. The possibilities of a personality are endless with many traits and qualities to chose from.
