What am I like?

However hard it might be to describe oneself, let me try to do my best. The first thing that comes to my mind is that I’m a shy and introvert person. Many people that I’ve met or come across (and I still do) in my life tend to believe that I’m a rude, grumpy and harsh person because of the first impression they get when they see my inexpressive face. Far from that, I believe that I’m a sensitive person who appreciates a good sense of humor, but maybe I’m hard to reach because I do have a tendency to establish limits to protect myself, at least at first. I’m regarded as a reliable friend and that’s something I’m pretty proud of. On the other hand, I have to admit that I’m a stubborn person who needs to be right in an argument, but, on a wider scale, I like to see myself as open minded and ready to accept almost all kind of opinions. When I was younger I was constantly accused of being unpunctual and although I just think I was being a little parsimonious, that’s something I’ve worked on and nowadays I can be considered as a person who arrives on time. Nonetheless, I’m still quite a procrastinator and if something doesn’t appeal to me I tend to be bone-idle. A friend of mine says I’m angry with the world, and a couple of teammates referred to me as “vinegar”, back in the day, but I don’t agree at all. I always give myself the chance to be nice and kind, and I address people with gentle and polite manners, but when the answer is bad mannered, mean and full of swearwords, of course I get annoyed, so I turn into a more inflexible and tactless person. That’s something that happens every day in my current job, so some of my partners think I’m grumpy. I just believe that I’m aloof, depending on how you treat me.

Even though forums are not meant to be checked, I've just spotted a few slips of the hand or odd bits, which I couldn't help correcting. Great job, by the way!

Sorry to bother you, Ana, it's my fault, for sure, but how can I see the corrected excerpts?

No worries. I regret to tell you it's not your fault, it's the platform one. Forums are not meant to be checked or corrected. The aim of this type of activities is for you to gain practice before setting yourself pen to paper to hand in the assignments for correction. That's why I've apologized as I've edited your text changing some of the stuff which was either wrong or weird. I promise not to do that again.
