Below are 5 traits you might need to accept:

Embarrassment prone people seem more likely to remain faithful, that’s according to researchers they, therefore, may make good romantic partners.
You overshare. As much as revealing too much information to the wrong people in a wrong setting can be disastrous, oversharing isn’t bad when it comes to building relationships and deepening existing ones. Revealing personal information about oneself is an important way to develop closeness and intimacy according to Social penetration theory.
You like to gossip. Although they say that no one likes to gossip, the research suggests otherwise. Some gossips are geared towards protecting people from harm by warning them about dangerous people or situations while some types of gossips are clearly harmful. Sharing information about backstabbing friends, philandering partners serve a useful function although it might seem petty.

You need to be able to distinguish between useful and benignly entertaining forms from more destructive ones for your gossip to be considered as a good one.
You’re a klutz. Fear not if you’re someone who likes who has the habit of spilling drinks on yourself, having food on your face without knowing or tripping over your feet while attempting to dance. These qualities probably endure you to others that are according to both Lawrence and scientific research.

Expressing how you feel may result in arguments although it will make your relationship stronger.
