What would the world be like if everyone had your personality?

I thought at first everyone would be cordial to each other, but then I realised that people would probably wake up too late, power stations would go down, there would be catastrophic epidemics and then everyone would politely starve to death.

Well, the world would need more swimming pools. And more food.
Much
more food.

Very few innovations in little things in the world would happen, but there would probably be fairly big sweeping changes every so often once a good idea came along. The world would probably still keep rolling, but you'd find more equality in the world because nobody would be willing to do 'menial' tasks for crap pay.

Probably not. Suffice to say that you'll inevitably starve to death in the process, and we can leave it at that =P(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Squishalot##DELIM##

It'd be fun for like 30 minutes or so though!

The arts, any technology involving math more difficult than basic algebra, and any technology involving science above high school level would all not exist.

Well, I'm assuming that everyone would have their knowledge intact... I didn't make that clear though.
By personality I kind of meant emotional approach to matters.

Ah, in that case the arts, any technology involving math more difficult than basic algebra, any technology involving science above high school level would all, and religion (forgot to throw this one in) would either cease or break down almost immediately.
I'm pretty sure anyone with my personality would rather live in a world without technology than learn the math and science necessary to maintain it.

I'd like to think that people would be more aware of the feelings of other people and make efforts to be nice to each other. No one would ever eat the last one of anything on a plate or in the box, because they were letting someone else have it. People would return their carts to the cart holder, would stop and leave their insurance info if they dinged a parked car, would tip their waitstaff well, etc. I guess theft would end, because everyone would feel too bad at the thought of stealing from someone to ever do it.
Violence would drop to nothing, since I am never violent, but I think debates and political discussion would take three times as long as they all sat and evaluated every aspect of a decision at length. Real racism, and sexism, and a lot of other isms would disappear, but we'd still know how to laugh at ourselves and our quirks. I think more people would be spiritual, and less would be religious in the formal sense.
I think more people would take responsibility for taking care of themselves and not depending on other people, and so we'd see a boost in productivity of some people. On the other hand, a lot of people who used to be workaholics would place a lot more priority on free time and enjoying hobbies and activities, and on time spent with family, and less on making much more money than they need to live, so their production would go way down. Overall, we'd probably see a decline in overall production and consumption, since everyone would rather sleep late than buy expensive shoes.
Video game sales and production budgets would go through the roof, a lot of reality TV would disappear (both from lack of interest and lack of the train-wreck types of people who make them watchable), many more things would be purple by default, and there would be more dessert selections at most restaurants. They'd stop making movies depending on "stupid humor" where people run into walls and get high and eat the neighbor's cat, or whatever, and much more humor would be of the sarcastic/tongue in cheek/play on words variety.

People would all have spines. There would be no war. However, it would be tough to get along with anyone because everyone would be sarcastic and cynical.
