The Tenth Doctor was cheerful, charismatic, hyperactive and enthusiastic, often at inappropriate times, ([[TV]]: ''[[Tooth and Claw (TV story)|Tooth and Claw]]'') but would become serious and demanding when the situation called for it. ([[TV]]: ''[[Army of Ghosts]]'', ''[[Evolution of the Daleks]]'') He regularly used his name as a threat, which only rarely worked, ([[TV]]: ''[[Forest of the Dead (TV story)|Forest of the Dead]]'') despite his apparent expectations. ([[TV]]: ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]'') According to [[Eleventh Doctor|his successor]], he had vanity issues.

The Doctor's human side made him a more loving and fun character to be around, being very much a good friend to all his companions and welcomed anyone with open arms. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lazarus Experiment]]'') He became almost like a family man, especially with the Tyler family. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'') The Doctor had a noticeably more positive relationship with [[Mickey Smith]] than [[Ninth Doctor|his predecessor]], treating him as more of an equal and friend ([[TV]]: ''[[Rise of the Cybermen (TV story)|Rise of the Cyberman]]'', ''[[The Age of Steel (TV story)|Age of Steel]]'', ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'') He occasionally relapsed though. ([[TV]]: ''[[School Reunion (TV story)|School Reunion]]'', ''[[The Girl in the Fireplace (TV story)|The Girl in the Fireplace]]'') He tended to keep a massive smile on his face and simply enjoyed his journeys through time and space. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Waters of Mars]]'') While previous incarnations intentionally flouted social conventions, the Tenth Doctor was genuinely shocked when he realised that he was being rude or uncouth.

The Doctor had a merciful and compassionate nature, frequently telling those in pain or distress "I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry". ([[TV]]: ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]'', et al.) He consistently extended an offer to help even his most dangerous enemies before putting a stop to their evil deeds. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') However, when his patience reached its limit or his enemies were duplicitous, they received no mercy or second chances.

([[TV]]: ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'', ''[[Forest of the Dead (TV story)|Forest of the Dead]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') He also held a forgiving philosophy, even forgiving {{Simm}} for his crimes against humanity.

Despite being more outwardly cheerful than his [[Ninth Doctor|previous incarnation]], the Doctor still felt guilt over what [[War Doctor|he]] had done in the [[Last Great Time War]], showing disgust towards [[Eleventh Doctor|his successor]] when he was unable to remember how many children died when he destroyed [[Gallifrey]], despite him knowing the number to memory. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') The Doctor also retained and even exceeded his predecessor's capacity for righteous anger, particularly when his friends were threatened or at risk, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Idiot's Lantern (TV story)|The Idiot's Lantern]]'') and, when driven by his anger, he would not hesitate to strike down those who opposed him.

While he seemed to have resolved much of the [[survivor's guilt]] felt previously, the Tenth Doctor had begun to feel his age. Beneath his juvenile exterior was an old man who had seen many terrible things and felt a deep loneliness. ([[TV]]: ''[[School Reunion]]'', ''[[The Lazarus Experiment]]'', ''[[Partners in Crime]]'') He felt profound regret for the deaths he'd seen, ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End]]'') with [[the Moment]] referring to him as "the man who regrets". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]'') His keen sense of loss led him to empathise with those who had also suffered, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Idiot's Lantern]]'') and feel driven to prevent death and destruction wherever possible, ([[TV]]: ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]'', ''[[Forest of the Dead]]'') having a hard time accepting failure. ([[TV]]: ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]'') [[Donna Noble]] noted the reason the Doctor required a companion was to keep him from succumbing to his darker side.
