If You Have These 8 Traits, You Might Be A Hot Mess

Dec 07, 2018 by apost team

In every group, there is at least one hot mess, whether they know they are it or not. This is different from a person who is just considered to be a “mess.” The word mess usually has some type of negative connotation to it. It describes a bad experience, disarray, chaos, or something else that is out of order.

When you add “hot” to this word, it actually takes on a different meaning. People think of a “hot mess” as someone who is out of sorts but in a cute and attractive type of way.

Are you a hot mess? Here are eight signs that you just might be.

If you happen to be a hot mess, there is a good chance that your personality will reflect it on the outside. This means that you may pull your hair back in a sloppy bun, wear oversized shirts and comfy pants, and pull on old sneakers that have been well-worn. You may run out the door with no socks or with your shirt unbuttoned. However, you still manage to look hot doing so.

If you are a hot mess, then there is a chance you are often late. You end up procrastinating until the last minute, whether it is watching videos or scrolling through social media. You may get ready on time, but you always manage to find something that needs to be done before you leave.

However, your close friends and family are used to this part of your character. Nobody gets stressed when you are late anymore. In fact, they probably joke about it.

You probably know very well what this is all about. You keep losing your socks, and even when you do find them, you don’t bother matching them up. You have no idea where half of your makeup is. Your gloves haven’t been seen for a year. You may try really hard to be organized, but somehow you manage to be all over the place time and again.

You really don’t mean to forget about things on purpose. However, it seems to happen all of the time for you. Sometimes you even say you will be two different places at once because you have forgotten about a prior commitment.

You forget birthdays, appointments, deadlines, and promises to others. You do it so much you are actually used to it! You don’t love this side of you, but it is one that isn’t that easy to change.

You very often leave people on “read.” You don’t really mean to do it on purpose- you just have a hard time getting back to others. You mentally answer a text message that you get, but you never actually respond to the person. If you do, it is days later.

You miss phone calls because you seem to always miss the phone ringing. You believe that if it is urgent, they will call back. So you don’t really need to answer the first time anyway. However, no one really considers it rude because they know that you aren’t trying to ignore them.

However, you tend to fail in style. You are a passionate person who does not want to settle for anything that isn’t really what you want in life. You want to try new things, and you will always push yourself to the limit. You know that the next time, things will surely end up in your favor.

Sure, you are a mess, but you are fearless about your life. That’s what makes your personality so special.

You love hanging out in your bed or on the couch with endless episodes of your favorite Netflix show. You probably wear your shirts for a couple of days in a row because you can’t be bothered to change into something else. You quite often get carried away and lose touch with your friends and family. You love the feeling of not having anything to do and hope it never ends.

Sometimes you have no idea how you even do it. You have to juggle multiple issues and problems all of the time, but you somehow manage to still come out on top. Yes, you are different, and this just comes naturally to you. You definitely stand out in a crowd, no matter where you are or who you are with.

You love to laugh at yourself and with the people you love, and you’re the center of attention no matter where you go. Everyone loves to hear all of the mishaps that happen in your very messy life.

Some people may believe that you are a confusing and complex person. But to others, you are fun and easy-going. They know they can talk to you about anything because you are so carefree in your ways.

You’re a hot mess, meaning you have the ability to get away with a lot of things in life. You may be late to your own wedding or forget your own birthday, but that is simply who you are. You make no apologies for being a bit scatter-brained as you go through your life.

Rest assured, you are the type of person that other people love to be around. You are sweet, easy-going, and funny when you don’t even try to be. You can handle a monumental amount of stress without batting an eye. You know that it will get done. People either like you or they don’t- there is no in-between.
