When I was younger I was extremely shy but now I will tell you how I feel or what I think even if it may hurt your feelings. Sometimes people think I am being mean to them when in reality all I am is just being completely honest.

I am an independent person because I like being able to accomplish goals and have things without having to rely on other people. I am a blunt person since I want everyone to be completely honest with me even if it may hurt my feelings. Also, I am a procrastinator because I like to put stuff off until tomorrow but tomorrow never comes until last
