What are some low-value and high-value traits?

[█████████]

I really like the categorization of "low-value people" versus "high-value people". It's not necessarily just in terms of material wealth, but moreso about personality and maturity. Someone can be rich but still be "low-value" in my opinion (like a rapper or retarded nepobaby). These terms are mostly used in regards to dating, but I think they're also useful in terms of who you surround yourself with in general.

I'm curious what other Farmers deem as low-value and high-value behavior. Off the top of my head, I think promiscuity and celebrity worship are traits of a low-value person. And I think curiosity is a trait of a high-value person.

I think the most high-value trait of all is taking responsibility for your actions and realizing that you are the only one responsible for the circumstances you are in.

Like sure, shitty things happen to all of us. But I've noticed a fundamental difference between people who say "My job as a busser at a restaurant sucks. This is the system's fault" and "I need to get a better job. I want to improve my position in the world. I can't let this be where I end up"

High-value people give something back to the community while low-value simply take.

 

[umseriously]

High value people are obviously those with a true and honest tag on their profile.

Low value: Being archetypal. If I can tell exactly what type of person you are from a short conversation I lose respect for you. People should be complex.

This is a fair take, but to be honest, every job I've ever had I end up hating eventually. That being said, there's nothing wrong with being a busboy when you're in high school or even college.

I'm not a busboy myself but I have people in my job who are unhappy and some who are satisfied with where they are. Sometimes you go into a job and realize that it's not for you after a while. Happened to me several times actually.

Low value: Being archetypal. If I can tell exactly what type of person you are from a short conversation I lose respect for you. People should be complex.

Most people are very surface level and not very intelligent to begin with. I feel like this trait is ridiculously common and a part of why the NPC meme is so widespread.

Issue is that a lot of traits depend on where you live, or whether your metric is personal or communal. While there are global traits like charisma which are good in every situation, stuff like having a sense of justice or being a hard worker really depends on whether you live in a normal society or clown world.

Not inclusive

Low value: fat, poor hygiene, amorous, poor social skills, annoying, needlesly argumentative, lying, poor housekeeping skills, inability to hold a conversation that doesn't revolve around their interests, lazy, ill tempered, unreasonable, abusive, addictions, low self esteem, undisciplined

High value: pretty much the inverse of low value.

I think a good measurement of a person is how many deadly sins they have.
One or two is fine, but more than that means you're probably dysfunctional.

Value is determined by the market. Some seemingly worthless malformed, childless, unwashed beggar could command extremely high value to the homeless community for dumpster diving and sharing all the expired food stores are forced to throw away with his local homeless community.

He could also have extremely uncommon blood, healthy organs, and no family that would miss him.

Resourcefulness is certainly good.

Off the top of my head, I like confidence, honesty, and enthusiasm. It's hard for me to dislike someone who clearly loves something. Even a straightforward asshole is less infuriating than a shifty backstabber.

As for pulling one's own weight, I find I care more about attitude than contribution. I'd rather be around people doing their best but struggling than someone who could do better but constantly chooses to be lazy. (Of course there is a limit to what attitude can make up for.)

So I want to be around people I know will have my back basically.
