* [[AcceptableTargets Acceptable Target]]: Due to the fact that I happen to be white, male, and a Protestant Christian, I suppose I'm technically one...[[DudeNotFunny doesn't mean I like it, though]].
* ActualPacifist: Well, I hate violence in real life...I don't know if I'm actually a TechnicalPacifist since I haven't had to defend myself yet.
* AddictionDisplacement: I have a horrible problem 'not' being addicted to things, like video games or shows, so I tend to jump from one thing to another. If only I could get addicted to work or studies...
* [[AdultChild Adult Teenager]]: I'll admit, I still have some growing up to do. A lot of it has to do with a lack of self-confidence, though. Well, that and I might actually feel more like an adult if I had a career and lived on my own.
* AfraidOfBlood: Adverted when it comes to 'fictional' examples but played straight when faced with the real deal.
* AfraidOfNeedles: I HATE SHOTS!!!
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Know what kind of sucks? Being the only new kid in class that grew up with each other since kindergarten. [[SarcasmMode Yeah, sure, they'll probably LOVE to make friends with the new kid whose growing nearsighted and has a speech impediment.]]
* AnnoyingLaugh: To the point that I could be a OnePiece character based on laughter alone; either sounds like Donkey-like Bray or a series of Hu-yuks depending on how hard I'm laughing.
* ApologisesALot: Mostly because I feel like I have a lot to apologise for in the first place.
* AspergerSyndrome: Possible. I haven't been diagnosed but a college counselor who saw me for many months tells me I display many of the symptoms. I plan to get tested for this in the near future. I'm hoping not, because [[AcceptableTargets the entire internet (or at least the cool parts) seem to hate Aspies]].
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny!: A ''very'' bad case; I used to take medication for it and I'm considering doing that again...did I mentioned I'm susposed to be working on three assignments at the time of this posting?
* BrainyBrunette: Replace "Brainy" with "slightly above average intelligence" and there you go; interestingly enough, though, my hair has actually become darker and blacker as I've gotten older.
* BasementDweller: This will most likely be my fate for the first few months after college for economic reasons; some people try to cheer me up by saying that it's becoming a DiscreditedTrope but I still feel bad about it. And yet, it's technically a step up from my previous living arrangement...
* BerserkButton: Let's see...overt sexism (and by sexism, I mean all sexism; don't expect me to ignore a DoubleStandard)) and religious intolerance are the two things that make me angry the most.
* BewareTheHonestOnes: I'm usually honest to a fault, so it took me forever to understand the value of white lies in social situations. Thankfully, I'm good at keeping secrets, so I don't randomly blurt out things either.
* Bookworm Replace: "Books" with "internet articles", "reading TVTropes", or "Webcomics" and you pretty much have "same difference". But I do enjoy a good book too from time to time...at least when school and work doesn't keep me down.
* BornInTheWrongCentury: Sometimes I think it would be better if I had been born a lot earlier and became retired right about now. On other the hand...
* BornUnlucky: Pretty much; don't have it nearly as bad as fictional examples but I haven't hit a lucky streak yet.
* [[CorruptTheCutie Corrupt the homely]]: I used to be so innocent...but at least I haven't made any drastic lifestyle choices and there is still much I'm ignorant about. Still, not as innocent as I used to be before I discovered the internet.
* Can'tHoldHisLiquor: I can't even 'taste' alcohol without spitting it out in disgust since it tastes bitter and nasty to me; I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out I was a light-weight.
* CharacterAlignment: NeutralGood, though I do have some StupidGood idealist moments...
* ClosetGeek: I don't talk about my interests very often...at least not off-line.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: According to my worry-wart of a mother, I'm a boring version apparently this sometimes...but I never noticed.
* CoughSnarkCough: I sometimes do this once in awhile, normally as a joke.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not as often as I would like to but I am pretty cynical and occansionally respond to comments/questions with sarcasm.
* DerailedForDetails: I have a very bad habit of doing this to others. Interestingly enough, I don't get upset myself when others do that to me, though.
* DerailedTrainOfThought: I suffer from this a lot; really intense conversations with me are less a flow and more like line-hopping from one tree branch to another.
* DescriptionPorn: I do indulge in this from time to time; didn't the size of this page clue you in yet?
* DisorganizedOutlineSpeech: I'm...not good at talking spontaneously. I only sound intelligent and eloquent online.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: [[ThisIsSparta I. HATE. CHEESE.]]
* DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm: Unless you speak with a sarcastic inflection, I sometimes take almost any statement literally, much to the amusement/annoyance of whoever I'm speaking to; ironic since I'm actually very sarcastic myself (though I purposely speak with a sarcastic inflection myself when being sarcastic).
* DoIReallySoundLikeThat: Like most people, I haven't heard my own voice very often, at least not properly recorded. Most people tell me my voice is surprisingly deep, even though it sounds whiny though my own ears.
* DontLookAtMe: There's a good reason I never upload pictures of myself online...
* DrinkOrder: Water....just....water...
* DudeNotFunny: Averted; I'm a big fan of DeadBabyComedy and BlackComedy, so not much offends me. And even if you do find something that offends me, I'm usually too much of a doormat to say so other than my most trusted friends.
* EmbarrassingNickname: I'm not telling you!!!
* EmptyShell: Sometimes, during my more depressive moods.
* ExtremeDoormat: I tend to fall prey to this trope more times than I ought to...I would stand up for myself but I don't want to inconvenience anyone!
* FleetingPassionateHobbies: Most definately and a great source of frustration for me. Related to the AddictionDisplacement. The only good news is that I tend to come to hobbies in cycles, so maybe I'll master or at least get good at one of them one of these days...
* ForgetsToEat: Since I've moved into an apartment in order to finish college, I have ate a regular lunchtime meal. At my much less sucessful time at an out-of-state-college, I often went a whole day without eating and refused to eat because the food was so bad; while everyone else gained 15 pounds, I lost 30.
* FreudianExcuse: Less "I've done horrible things because of it" and "I've developed a slightly anti-social, introverted personality because of it"; could be worse.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: If it can't kill or hurt me, expect me to want to pet it. Most animals tend to like me and I like them in return.
* FriendlessBackground: I have no idea how to make these things you call "friends". Is there a step by step instructional or something? (I kid, I kid!....mostly...)
* TheGenericGuy: Most definitely and I hate it; a big source of my inferiority complex.
* {{GIFT}}: Usually averted. I try my best to be civil online and never bad mouth someone directly to their face. Of course, still stating a controversial opinion, no matter how polite you are, will still get you into a flame war, I can verify that much.
* TheGlassesComeOff: Averted; taking my glasses off except for putting in contacts or going to bed is a very, very, ''very'' bad idea, since I can't see past three inches of my own face without them.
* {{Greed}}: A somewhat interesting case; I ''want'' everything so I can ''give'' everything to everyone; I desire wealth and resources only so I can help others with it, because I know that if enough rich people did nothing but help others by giving their funds wisely, we could probably cure a lot of social ills...wait, is that still greed? I'm so confused...
* GreenEyedMonster: Very much so, I'm afraid; I just want to be special like everyone else! Thankfully, I'm more of a brooding, self-hating envy than an actual "screw over other people out of envy" envy. I don't envy possessions but rather talents and abilities, since you can't ''buy'' those.
* GoodWithNumbers: Averted. I'm fairly average with numbers, if not outright terrible with them, and have to constantly use scratch paper or calculators for even the simplest equations; then again, my English scores were always much better than my math skills.
* HatesBeingTouched: I don't mind a good hand-shake (in fact, I often am the one to extend it) but I hate to be hugged or touched on the shoulder by anyone other than close friends or relatives.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: Inverted. I technically love everyone, I just hate the things they do sometimes. My religion commands it!
* HighHopesZeroTalent: ''sigh'' Story of my life; maybe I'll be good at something one of these days.
* HollywoodDressCode: My clothes are pretty bland and ordinary and-[[TheGenericGuy Hey, what do you know!]]
* HormoneAddledTeenager: Averted in high school. I didn't start to really notice women or be affected by your standard sex hormones until I was much older; by then, I was mature enough to handle them without making a scene. [[HormoneAddledTeenager Some of my fellow classmates, on the other hand.....]]
* HypocrisyNod: I'm not afraid to admit when I've done wrong; sometimes I even change for the better...but not always. Of course, it helps that I usually keep my more controversial opinions to myself.
* ICouldaBeenAContender: I have nightmares about this happening.
* IDontEvenCare: In a world like this, can you blame me? Depends on what mood I'm in, though.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Don't we all?
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: I have a hard time making friends; I also have a hard time keeping friends too.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Many people claim this about me if they ask enough questions about my past or upbringing; I'm not completely innocent anymore but I will admit that I had a very sheltered upbringing and I'm somewhat conservative within my own lifestyle.
* InfoDump: I lack the ability to say what I want as concisely as possible, so I'm very guilty of this both on and offline.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Now, I'm not a genius or anything, but when I was staying after class to talk to teachers about the subject material and how it applied to real life, my classmates were trading in for new cars every week and getting drunk; and this was just in high school. I should have been in a school with more geeks.
* ItBurns: Due to the internet and art appreciation classes, I've developed a tolerance for erotic artwork and tasteful nudity; but fullblown porn still bothers me if I accidentally come across it. Why are you laughing at me?
* JadeColoredGlasses: Depending on my mood, I swing from this and WideEyedIdealist; sometimes my personality is inconsistent.
* LaymansTerms: Without being insulting, I try to explain new concepts to people this way, as I often need it said to me in LaymansTerms as well.
* LoserGuy: Still a virgin and never been on a date; thankfully, I'm actually not upset about it, though, since I'm more concerned with getting educated and starting a career first.
* MilitaryBrat: Yep; dad retired as a full Colonel.
* MoodSwinger: Occansionally; however, I usually don't drift into any of the emotional extremes.
* NeutralGood: De facto moral alignment. I believe in obeying the law, so most of my actions are ''technically'' LawfulGood, but only when there is a good reason to do so; as soon as something happens from the government that I believe is truly morally wrong, expect some civil disobedience from me.
* NoSenseOfDirection: No, I don't; I'm hoping to get a GPS with my next car.
* NonActionGuy: To be fair, I'm sure most ordinary people can't fight either.
* NotAMorningPerson: Nope, not at all.
* NoIndoorVoice: If my mother is to be believed, I have some trouble with this trope. In my defense, though, my hearing is ''terrible''.
* PaleSkinnedBrunette: I used to be ''really'' pale before I moved to Texas; for some reason, I actually ''miss'' my pale skin...
* PrecisionFStrike: I don't swear very often...but when I ''do'', it's usually appropriate in context. That or something made me [[BerserkButton mad enough to cuss]].
* PurpleProse: While I can't think fast enough on my feet to invoke this offline, I do enjoy intentionally invoking this during chats and forum posts. I also happen to actually enjoy ''reading'' PurpleProse too.
* QuoteMine: Averted; I'm too honest to do this intentionally. Now, accidentally? That's possible; it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong about something.
* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: Actually, I'm the one that answers rhetorical questions because I failed to realize they were rhetorical in the first place...
* RidiculousProcrastinator: Sometimes but usually not to the point of doing badly on an assignment.
* SaidBookism: I'll admit, I really don't like seeing the word "said" over and over, so I tend to find other ways to write a response. Still, I try not to go overboard and will still use the word "said" if it's not really necessary to use a fancier word; that and sometimes you don't need to use "said" or anything else for extended two-way conversations.
* SayingTooMuch: Depends on the context. Did I say too much content? Sometimes. Did I said too many words? All the fricking time.
* SecretKeeper: Despite the length of this page, I'm actually pretty good at keeping secrets.
* SeinfeldianConversation: Well ''I'' think they're fun to have...
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Subverted. Most people tell me I'm reasonably intelligent and I've actually been encouraged to seek out a chess club at least once but I find the game dreadfully boarding. I do like the visual pattern of the playing boards, though.
* SurvivalMantra: "At least my cat still loves me."
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Well, I'm not nearly as eloquent speaking out loud as I am typing, so I've probably mangled the English language more than one when talking to someone. Somewhere, a speech therapist is crying.
* StupidGood: I can recognize evil when I see it but I have trouble accepting that some people are beyond redemption; heck, I actually want {{Hell}} itself revamped so that even the damned can still be saved. And yes, I ''know'' that doesn't make any sense!
* SweetTooth: I've gotten much better about this in recent years but I do love candy and ice cream.
* TWordEuphemism: I used to do this when writing; now I believe it's a lot less distracting to either a character who doesn't swear (I'm sure they exist) or just writing out the swear word if it's part of their character (flaw).
* TalksLikeASimile: Not as often as straight examples but I do like to speak in metaphors and similes if I think it'll help explain my feelings on something or drive home a point.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Sometimes; I'm not known for having a silver tongue, after all.
* ThatCloudLooksLike: Not only do I like to look for shapes in clouds, but other mundane objects too. In fact, at one of the places where I worked, there is a piece of title that I swear looks like a FunnyAnimal [[ItMakesSenseInContext cartoon dog exiting a helicopter]].
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: It may be considered bad writing, but I think it's helpful to be honest with your feelings, especially in Western socieities. Come to think of it, if it's so prevalent in RealLife, why do so many people consider it to be bad writing? I can't figure that out.
* TheGamblingAddict: Replace "Gambling" with "Gaming" and you got one of my major vices.
* TheInsomniac: Someday I'll learn how to set a regular sleeping pattern. Today is obviously not that day since I'm posting this trope entry at 5:18 a.m.
* ThePhilosopher: I'm not great at it as an actual ''discipline'', but I am obsessed with thinking about religion, heaven, hell, the afterlife, eternity and its nature, the meaning of life, ethics, reality, objectivity and subjectivity, free will, destiny, etc.
* TheSummation: I lack this ability; it has frustrated many people.
* ThinkingOutLoud: Quite often, through in my defense, I normally only do it when I'm alone and to remind me of stuff I got to do.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: I am fond of shrimp.
* TragicDream: I hope not but...
* UndyingLoyalty: Don't ask me to take sides against {{God}} or my family; You will fail.
* WasntThatFun: On this one forum I used to frequent all the time, it turned out that I was the only person who enjoyed the Casino Zone levels on 2D Sonic games, especially the pinball sections.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: I'm afraid of clowns and mascot costumes, especially fursuits. No, you did not misheard me about that second one.
* WideEyedIdealist: During my more optimistic mood swings.
* WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant: Err...well...technically...you're not going to hold that against me, are you?...are you?

* TWordEuphemism: I used to do this when writing; now I believe it's a lot less distracting to either a character who doesn't swear (I'm sure they exist) or just writing out the swear word if it's part of their character (flaw).
* TalksLikeASimile: Not as often as straight examples but I do like to speak in metaphors and similes if I think it'll help explain my feelings on something or drive home a point.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Sometimes; I'm not known for having a silver tongue, after all.
* ThatCloudLooksLike: Not only do I like to
tropers look for shapes in clouds, but other mundane objects too. In fact, at one of the places where I worked, there is a piece of title that I swear looks like a FunnyAnimal [[ItMakesSenseInContext cartoon dog exiting a helicopter]].
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: It may be considered bad writing, but I think it's helpful to be honest with your feelings, especially in Western socieities. Come to think of it, if it's so prevalent in RealLife, why do so many people consider it to be bad writing? I can't figure that out.
* TheGamblingAddict: Replace "Gambling" with "Gaming" and you got one of my major vices.
* TheInsomniac: Someday I'll learn how to set a regular sleeping pattern. Today is obviously not that day since I'm posting this trope entry at 5:18 a.m.
* ThePhilosopher: I'm not great at it as an actual ''discipline'', but I am obsessed with thinking about religion, heaven, hell, the afterlife, eternity and its nature, the meaning of life, ethics, reality, objectivity and subjectivity, free will, destiny, etc.
* TheSummation: I lack this ability; it has frustrated many people.
* ThinkingOutLoud: Quite often, through in my defense, I normally only do it when I'm alone and to remind me of stuff I got to do.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: I am fond of shrimp.
* TragicDream: I hope not but...
* UndyingLoyalty: Don't ask me to take sides against {{God}} or my family; You will fail.
* WasntThatFun: On this one forum I used to frequent all the time, it turned out that I was the only person who enjoyed the Casino Zone levels on 2D Sonic games, especially the pinball sections.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: I'm afraid of clowns and mascot costumes, especially fursuits. No, you did not misheard me about that second one.
* WideEyedIdealist: During my more optimistic mood swings.
* WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant: Err...well...technically...you're not going to hold that against me, are you?...are you?

* GoodAngelBadAngel: Parodies and subversions are always funny but other than that this is one trope that's kind of lame when played straight.

* HetIsEw: YOU IDIOTS! You yourself (unless you were a "test tube baby") are a product of at least one heterosexual encounter! We're a species that reproduces through sexual intercourse between two different sexes; it's how nature (or {{God}} if you believe in that sort of thing like I do) made us, so stop acting like it's some kind of gross, bizzare sin of some kind! Geeze! It's like gay-bashing in reverse!

* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Not only do I ''not'' find "girl on girl" "hot", but I struggle to understand ''how'' other men apparently do. See, if it was a homosexual ''girl'' who was purchasing the yuri material, that would make sense ''because she is gay herself''; what does a straight male gain from watching two gay women from making out? [[CompletelyMissingThePoint I don't get it]]! And because of my ridiculously sheltered upbringing, I probably never will. Needless to say, I find straight people obsessing over gay couples to be creepy and voyeuristic.
