@Bill Mattocks, bombastic implies showmanship I think so be bombastic and do not miss this vocational calling! Thespianism? Club Raconteur? Author?
I listed it as a negative trait because I often use it to bludgeon people and pound them into the ground verbally. A bully using language as a weapon is still a bully. It's a charge that's been leveled at me from time to time, and it's not unfair to say there is some truth in it. I use words like a sword, and sometimes I hurt people. It's not a good thing.
I appreciate what you are saying and it is not unusual. Having some therapeutic experience I know that keeping objectivity while honestly acknowledging your disposition, action or demeanour as you, and others that have posted here, have done is difficult and courageous in itself and which is why I wanted to praise you and all that have recognised their own perhaps less than positive traits, all of which are understandable human behaviours. Efficient forward motion away from a troublesome or unfavourable state is only possible after this acknowledgement which is why these outwardly trivial posts are to be lauded.I listed it as a negative trait because I often use it to bludgeon people and pound them into the ground verbally.
