These 15 Personality Traits Could Ruin Your Reputation In The Future

by Christopher Paul · June 14, 2019

We all don’t see any issue with our own personalities and whenever we face criticism we just blame the other person for being jealous or just a ‘hater’. But, there are many traits to our personality that are doing us more harm than good and we don’t know about them.

These traits could be coming out naturally or from our human need to impress people around us. Some personality traits that may offend others like being honest are necessary and good for us while others like lying to impress people are not. We need to realize which is good and which isn’t before they ruin our reputation.

1Lack of basic knowledge

No one knows everything. But there are some things that every adult out in the world should know. People who do not know such things will be judged and people will immediately think less of them. We may have several degrees and achievements but it is important to know certain basic things.

2What do we mean?

For instance, if you are talking to someone and they do not know who the president of U.S. is or the names of the planets in the solar system, then you will immediately stop talking to that person and even liking them. You will form a poor impression of them because everyone knows such basic things.

3Faking your pictures

Several people use Photoshop to alter their pictures. For instance, they may use it to attach their own picture beside a famous monument that they have never been to, or fake vacation pictures in a fake place. Once the truth is discovered, you will be marked as a wannabe annoying person and your social life is over.

4Social media

In today’s technological world, we know a person by first looking them up on social media. If someone meets you and they want to know more about you, they will probably send you a friend request on Facebook. Your social media profile should be impressive and they will form an opinion of you from it.

5The problem

Now imagine that someone visits your profile and your wall is full of cringey and fake articles and dumb news that you have shared. That person will immediately categorize you a certain way. We have a habit of sharing things and publicly posting articles that we like. However, some of these are fake and you may not notice it but others will.
