By nature, he's a nostalgic individual. He can often, when asked, describe the time of life when he was happiest: his younger years; back when life was simpler and he had close to everything he could have ever wanted. Back in the day, Lithuania used to be a large and daunting nation, winning wars and being somewhat of a powerhouse (Though after the Commonwealth fell apart and Russia got a hold of him, things changed and he became someone more reliant on others. Not to say he doesn't know HOW to stand up for himself; he's perfectly capable now, he just chooses not to meddle in others affairs and the chance to fight hasn't sprung up again, though he wouldn’t battle unless absolutely necessary anyway. That and things just never seem to go his way; he has horrendous luck. Not to mention, while he has a sense of national pride, his self confidence isn't the best as he's a relatively new independent nation and still getting his bearings, not to mention his submissive attitude). He had independence, stability, and surety. He loves being stable and happy; something he'd been without for a long time until recently. While with Russia, he had a steady job and would occasionally forget himself, mistaking momentary safety for comfort, but the good times never really out-numbered the bad. The road for him has been rocky and he likes things to be mellow, where his worrisome personality doesn't cause him as much grief as it has recently, though it's rare he gets to experience that. With his recent independence, though, he's got less on his plate to really bother him too much, though in the past he’s always had a lot to deal with and was over-worked a lot of the time.
Though he is of an independent mindset, Lithuania is decently submissive and easily pushed around and taken advantage of, mostly because he's been forced to be a lackey for so many countries for so long. He may complain about doing a certain something or other that he has to take on, but in the end he’ll get the job done and do it well. No matter what task is set before him, Lithuania will do it until it's done at 100% capacity, even though he might complain about it, depending on who's telling him to do it and/or the task. He's extremely good at menial chores, like housework and food preparation, and enjoys doing things for others when they deserve it. In the past, he’s lived with and/or worked for many people who have given him chores and loads of work to do, and he gets it done with an eventual “It can’t be helped” prerogative, even if they might be outlandish, degrading, or monotonous. Lithuania will bend over backwards and makes a wonderful grunt, though he doesn’t ever really want to be one, and he’ll take on any task given to him with only a moderate complaint or two. No matter the ordeal going on or the state he was in, he would always be able to get through it with a level head. Sure, he gets frustrated but he's a very patient person and it shows. When his patience does run out, he has a bit of a temper, but Lithuania showing anything more than mild irritation is rare. When he did happen to have an outburst (and, again, it's only happened once), Lithuania didn't even have the heart to face the person he was upset at to his face and the whole ordeal was arguably a dream sequence anyway.
As I mentioned before, Lithuania's lived with people who required some taking care of. He's a caring guy who likes to provide for those he considers his good friends, worrying over them and acting as a support for them in their times of need. With Poland, he was always there for him during the Commonwealth, worried about him during the first partitioning, and called him during World War II. Lithuania put up with whatever nonsense he would come up with, sometimes begrudgingly. Even though there were times he came to hate him, like after being belittled and over-worked during the Commonwealth, he always came back around; never holding a grudge for long. With the Baltic countries, he always took the brunt of the pain Russia dealt out and supported them, helping them in whatever way he could to make their life with Russia better. When he lived with America, he would do menial tasks for him, offer to help him in any way he could, he even slept in his bed when he asked him to. A lot of Lithuania's life has been spent taking care of others and making sure that they're okay. It's just in his nature.
Lithuania, over the years, has been thrown into many situations; a lot of which are awful, abhorrent, and downright hellish. After time, though, he's adjusted to whatever the situation is and taken it head on. Between moving from Poland to Russia to America and his fluctuating independence, he's kept a level head and grown to accept, and even sustain a certain level of comfortably, anywhere he ends up, though it differs from place to place and person to person and of course takes a while to develop. Lithuania's also by no means stupid. He knows how to correct a problem proficiently, even if he has to go at it a few different ways. He's shown to be well versed in battle tactics and strategy, is known for having an extremely intimidating aura when in battle mode or pissed off, and serious about things to almost a fault. He's certainly resourceful, and Lithuania knows how to use what's given to him quite well. He looks at most things calmly and gets them done, normally achieving the best outcome. If he doesn't get it, he'll go back, rethink it, and do it again until he gets it right. He is also interested in literature and is a well read person.
Lithuania, however, is a dense individual when people are involved. Lithuania isn't the most witty of people, as he's rather simple and applies his smarts to practical things, rather than being sarcastic and snide; he's rather open and blunt. To be frank, he’s not all that street smart and more so versed in the realm of reason and not interpersonal skills. Like with Poland, he could never quite figure out where he stood with that guy, though it took a really intelligent and intuitive person to ever really understand him anyway. With Belarus, she breaks his bones and treats him like dirt, and shrugs it off or thinks very little of it, still as in love with her as ever. His situation with America can be considered along the same lines, as America gave him dull chores and treated him like a grunt but still respected him, which Lithuania enjoyed. Inter-personally, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed and probably won't read in too much on how well one thinks of him. He’s also been known to not have too good a grasp on what he says which can sometimes turn around and bite him in the rear. Also, it's shown that he can seem a little flighty, and he can be a bit of a day dreamer, becoming a little over-comfortable. He's even fallen asleep on Russia and America (literally and figuratively, respectively) when thinking back and recalling his past, acting as a relaxant.
Now-a-days, Lithuania can handle himself pretty well, except around Russia. Russia has always been a source of terror to him, be it present day or in the past. It's implied that Russia is the main source of his emotional and physical torment; a main catalyst in his nerves and stomach problems, not to mention the various scars on his back. Most people are at least a little afraid of Russia, but Poland is an exception. Any time Russia's tried to harass Lithuania, Poland's been there to ward him off, though it hasn't always proved to work. Even though Russia terrifies him to a certain extent, he’s been his grunt and lackey for long periods of time in the past, so they are on extremely familiar terms. It's unclear in canon their true relationship, as Lithuania is extremely afraid of Russia, but Russia will call him his "ex". While Lithuania can get afraid and shake and have nervous fits, Russia's the only real thing to send him over the edge anymore.
