That's Just How I Am: Two Takes

 

Unless you phrase it differently. Rather than 'that's just how I am; take it or leave it', try on 'I like being this way; it's okay if you don't like it'. I'm weird, and I know it. But it's not that I'm unwilling to change in ways that correct my flaws; instead it's more that I have accepted and embraced my differences and realized that they aren't flaws. They may not be to your taste, and that's okay; you don't have to like me. But I do like me, and the people I chose to keep around me do like me and my weirdnesses. You can choose to be part of that circle or not, and neither choice is wrong.

Now obviously, I'm not talking about the toxic traits that are bad for you and the people around you. I'm just responding to that first line. If there are toxic traits about you, you need to recognize and correct them. For your own sake.
