It turns out I've been choleric

[foolishmortal]

I was reading Latin Mass Magazine where I found an article about that mindset (I would say a personality, but with God’s grace and my better receiving it, the term doesn’t have to be that binding, I don’t think, whether it is nature or nurture) that described me. It is a manifestation of Pride and begets anger and could be damning, If I understand it all correctly. I guess I’ll just have to offer frustrations about people and things that bug me personally or intellectually up to God in prayer.

I’m sorry for any hurt feelings and for being a bad example as a Catholic and Christian in the past. I still also have to make good on my pledge to write positive stuff from now onward.

I’ll also need to pray for those that bug me personally, intellectually, spiritually, etc. (except hell’s demons), pray for the grace to not act like that and also consider myself less than them (except hell’s demons)

I am a sanguine but still have the same faults. It’s more the pride thing that weighs us all down.

There are positives to being a choleric.

You are natural born leader. You get things done…

Tonk is right, the capital sins aren’t for certain personalities.

The cool thing is that God has granted you the grace to see you as you are. What a blessing. The other cool thing is that you are willing to change and are making an effort to do so. :clapping: BRAVO!

Peace,

I’m melancholic and proud of it! —KCT

I’m probably melancholic as well, but I missed that issue. I’ll have to read up on those things.
I don’t believe myself to be a leader; I just talk too much more than I really know, I think. It is the one area I feel confident saying much about though. It can feed the ego so I have to watch out.
Also, things around me are irritating me. People I know want me to be around them while they say impurew things and watch such movies. Not that I’m an angel though, but I don’t need help being the opposite. I admit to being a coward and instead of praying for fortitude, I get irritated at others for providing temptations–even if I don’t tell them that (though I rant on forums instead because it avoids confrontation). In a way, I’m sort of like Jack Nicholson in “As Good as it Gets”, but scrupulosity is my obsessive compulsion and I’m usually funny or not looking frustrated at people that remind me of what’s wrong with the world–one of them, being me by bad example. If I pray, offer it up and contemplate more and stay out of my own bad habits by God’s grace, I’ll get my act straightened by God in cooperating…

I’m not promising anything, but it is good to identify the problem (or one huge chunk of it) to get better.
