1-mean
2-lazy
3-ignorant
4-ugly
This would be my list, too. Just out of curiosity, do you mean ignorant as in "unknowledgeable" or "rude"? Either way, it holds the same position on my list.
I think another way of looking at what's revealed in these lists is where our insecurities lie. For example, I know I'm not ugly or stupid/rude, so someone could say those things and it wouldn't make one bit of difference to me. But after spending 21 yrs being told I'm mean and lazy, even though I know it's not true, those insults could catch me off-guard and illicit a strong reaction. Ya know?
My reasoning is very similar;
Mean: Meanness? My best and worst quality is that I can not be mean(even when I want to soooo bad and they deserve it......kinda). I, unfortunately am a pleaser and have a very difficult time saying no. (have you seen 27 dresses? thats me.) Being accused of being mean, to me, is like being accused of not being a Christian.
Lazy: I heard my whole life, idle hands...., anything worth doing, is worth doing well......., are you sure you did your best?, go check again......Never rest until its done...and done well.... My Grammies voice in my head[8|] I hate laziness. I do have bouts of it though, I call it reading. If anyone even insinuates that I am lazy it offends me greatly.[&:]
Ignorant: Nope
Ugly: I know that I am not ugly.
