I couldn't think of my biggest flaw,
so about ten minutes ago, I went to a person who specializes in knowing my flaws...my girlfiend.
She's still listing them to me, so I'll have to get back to y'alls....

See, that's how i am different. if a girlfriend of mine started listing my flaws to me she would be sitting out on the curb pretty quickly.

Another of one of my flaws is not being organized enough. But it's never hurt me.

I just noticed this fruedian-flavored slippage & showed to my girlfriend.
So she added "You always think that you are just so fucking cute" to the list.

Manwhore.

Sure I do.

I think

All my other problems stem from there.

this is so far from truth

you are the finest example of human i know

Yep.

The thing is, I think that mooooosssttt of my flaws, and most peoples' flaws, have an upside. I'm too sensitive, but I'm empathetic/diplomatic. I can be obsessive, but sometimes that translates into being focused/driven. I've been told that I can bowl people over or be intimidating, but I've also been told that I'm confident and a "force of nature", in a good way. I frequently overthink/overintellecualize/overcomplicate things, but I'm rational and reasonable.

Nobody is perfect, and I feel less perfect every damn day. But. . . that's ok.

i don't have any flaws

I think people may be aware of their biggest weakness (the thing that always comes back to bite them on the ass), but maybe not their biggest flaw (the thing that others hate about them the most).

What flaws- u are perfect in my book!!!

NDRU said:

Good point BUT ones biggest flaw may be the result of their biggest weakness... For instance I'm pretty sure my lack of forgiveness for myself drives my friends nuts b/c I'm never satisfied w/ anything & I'm vocal about it

But who knows, maybe there's a flaw I'm unaware of... I'd like to know what it is so I can beat myself up about it

i've been told that i'm impatient, but i don't know if that's true.






































hurry up and reply to my post, damnit!!

HamsterHuey said:

this isn't a flaw sweetie. this is normal emotion. i understand how you feel.

CalhounSq said:

Yeah, I'm sure some people's are the same thing. Like if you're a heroin addict, it's your weakness & being an addict is your flaw, and you're probably painfully aware of both.

So your flaw is being too unforgiving of your flaws? That could be dangerous, but it's good you're aware of it so you can work on it.

I believe my biggest flaw is that I'm too diplomatic. I try to understand where everyone's coming from, but the flip side is seeing flaws in everything, including myself.

Sometimes I don't act strongly enough because I'm not committed to my own opinions. I could go this way, I could go that way...

So I just sit in contemplation.

Me too!!!

these are not your flaws peeps


in fact

thesa are your greatest traits





dont eva change thankyouverymuch

i have social phobias of large groups of people i dont know well, i lack confidence, i lack self-esteem, and i have a desperate need to please that leads me to do stupid shit to make other people happy.

those are the big ones.

We're twins in those respects. I was just talking about my social anxiety with someone today.

CarrieMpls said:

i also am far too empathetic for my own good.

you too?

cborgman said:

Sometimes yes, but often no...

CarrieMpls said:

it definately has its upside too, but it can be problematic.

cborgman said:

. . .cue Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are". . .

SeattleInvasion said:

awww..

cborgman said:

I share your social phobia issue, btw. It's absolutely amazing that I ever made it to an invasion. I know it had you scurred too.

SeattleInvasion said:

i was shaking like a leaf. if bob had not kept on my ass calling every few minutes to make sure i wasn't gonna wuss out and run, i probably would have. and thank god i did not... turned out very well for me.

it really annoys friends of mine too. i can take the stage in front of hundreds of strangers and not even break a sweat. but the moment i am around a person or two i dont know and have to be myself, i mentally hide under the table and pretend to have gone mute.

oh, i also have a really bad habit about not being able to take a compliment, it drives my friends crazy. they will compliment me about something and i will disagree and try and talk them into seeing it my way. friends have screamed "JUST TAKE THE FUCKING COMPLIMENT" at me more than a few times for that.

I give without necessarily getting...I am walked all over by people that I deeply care about...apparently Im a glutton for unhealthy relationships....

ok lets be real

i got flaws like a mother fuck

im entirely insecure

constantly wondering whether people like me

its exhausting frankly

but this is all pretty obvious to anyone who knows me

i need constant love

and assurance of love

im way too sensitive to be on this planet

and yet

here i



reside
