From a young age, we hear people say "just be yourself." But countless others never seemed to learn that lesson.

That's how you end up with people basing their personalities on omething crazy. These are, of course, the most annoying people on the planet.

Here is the definitive roundup of things you should never try to base your personality

1
Crypto - u/Raichuboy17

2
The things you own. - u/Amenra7

3
The Office Look I love the show, but if all we can talk about or joke about is The Office, please leave - u/LordFawful_

4
Struggles. Everyone has suffered in their life in one way or another. But this is something you try to overcome not preach about having it (now or in the past ) and trying to turn yourself into a martyr in the process - u/Shgrien

5
Having been in the military. - u/voice_of_craisin

6
Your self-diagnosed mental illness. It’s become a trend because people think it makes them quirky. Mental illness is no joke and people struggling with it are going through a lot. - u/poisonlilas

7
CrossFit - u/muffins_allover

8
How "random" and "chaotic" you are. Ooh, I am so quirky, I copy my options not from the mainstream but from other weirdos! - u/hermelinabrie

9
Your children - u/thriftingforgold

10
Political affiliation Being a pundit who eats drinks and sh*ts politics is one thing.The morons making right or left their identity without knowing sh*t about sh*t is another. - u/LurkysGoCart

11
Alcohol. I feel so sad for those people who have no stories to tell that don’t involve them getting wasted. - u/tanglekelp

12
Intelligence. It’s a great asset and smarter people are more likely to be more successful, but realizing you’re not the smartest person in the room or that it’s not just smarts that gets you far, it’s grit and hard work as well, is usually devastating for some people. Btw I mean smart in an IQ and information processing way, not wise in a knowing-how-life-works way. - u/Person9183736

13
Being against things - u/Drbruur

14
A brand you like - u/SwiggityStag

15
How attractive/unattractive an individual is. You’re so much more than just your looks don’t get caught up in what you see. - u/Ceramic_Avatar221

16
Your career/job. You are more than what you do to put food on the table, and if you forget that, you lose sight of a lot of important things. - u/EO_Equestrian
