How much are you like your father?

All my life I idolized my dad... so naturally I'm a lot like him. Probably for better and worse, I picked up some of his bad habits. But I strive to emulate his best qualities. Kindness, generosity, humility, creativity

Anyways, did I show you his paintings?

Quite a bit about me, is like my father. The best parts, and the not so great sometimes, parts. I miss him every day.

Our values are quite close, partly because we spent a lot of time discussing them. Our hunger for knowledge is the same. Our love of family is the same. Our reluctance to show affection is similar. We just don't look alike.

@exexec that's good, thanks for the comment : )

I have his mechanical skills, but not love for beating on women and children
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@HumanEarth good on you to not follow suit

I hate him with a major passion. I keep checking the internet to see if he is dead yet

We are polar opposites... But he taught me by example and I learned and did the complete opposite, figuring I knew how to avoid being wrong that way. And while there is often more than one way to be wrong, it worked out pretty well..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman at least he gave you some sort of example

@caPnAhab indeed he did. And I benefited from it. I do have things to be grateful to him for. Just not related to raising me..😷

I get my frugality, saving habit, joking-around and tidiness from him.
He can draw too but I didn't get that talent
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@rosyhills I wish I had that, my money habits are terrible

I’m soft spoken like him ..but he held in pain .. which is something I do as well but I try to have an outlet for that

@uncalled4 you guys are talented. Bravo
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@caPnAhab Thank you for the kind words.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@uncalled4 no worries. They're good songs
They’re pretty amazing. Do you keep them displayed ?

To answer your question, I’m much like my father personality-wise. Quiet, mild-mannered and gentle (but looks fierce) and with a similar deadpan sense of humor.

Mom once spoke to a friend of both of us: "Two of the kindest people I know. But don’t make them angry ! I blow up, and then I’m good, but they’re that ‘quiet furious’, much scarier !"

Thats good. niceness doesn't necessarily equal to being easily taken advantage of.

I don't have them on display, but now that you mention it....
The one with the three characters looking off is my favorite.

Somewhat like him and I hate it
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@Moneyonmymind should you make some changes?
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
@caPnAhab I tried but it’s not easy
Every decision I make I think of how my Dad would have decided it.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@NativePortlander1970 oh, I remember now. Why do you do that? Just trying to compare?
@caPnAhab Because my Dad was my hero and had tons of common sense and integrity.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@NativePortlander1970 glad you had a positive influence to look up to.
