Not sure if it's my greatest vice, but the one I feel guiltiest about is Sloth. I have to find a better job than the one I've got now, but it's so much effort. It's mainly there on my own, though, when I don't exactly have a deadline. I may have delayed my schoolwork a bit but I still usually get it done to a pretty good extent when I know I have people counting on me. But now that I'm out of school, where's the motivation? I could be drawing right now. But I still need to finish watching this episode of Let's Play Majora's Mask...
Poll: which deadly sin do you commit the most often?

I chose pride.
I actually practice sloth more often, but aside from slightly poorer grades, and maybe an argument or two about a messy room, sloth has never caused me much harm. Certainly hasn't ruined my life in any way.
Pride... me and pride have issues. I will push a problem to its very breaking point because I refuse to get help with it. I will internalize everything because I believe I should be strong enough to deal with it myself. And as someone who spent most of his life with a severe lack of self-confidence, it seems that I am now compensating by having an abundance of it.
Lust was in the running, but I think I've mostly gotten a grasp on that one. Yeah I still practice it, but it's not affecting my life anymore.

For those of you who chose the 8th option, you're committing a deadly sin since saying you're perfect in every way is a form of pride :3
Since I'm an Atheist and don't believe in the the 7 Deadly Sins and such, I'm going to answer anyway.
From most to least often, here is my list:
1. Sloth = Most days I just lay about and play video games or on my laptop.
2. Pride = If I complete an accomplishment actually worth mentioning, I tell anyone I can about it and see if they can beat me.
3. Wrath = I'm easily enraged. If someone were to annoy me constantly, I'd punch them, nothing else. I'm not saying my hits actually hurt. ¬.¬
4. Gluttony = I eat a lot. I'm actually quite happy that I have a super high metabolism or else I wouldn't see my toes when standing up.
5. Greed = I do like to share most things but if someone asked me for money I ask them to out of my face.
6. Lust = I do have a huge crush on someone, but I keep it secret and I don't look up pr0n on the Internet as much as most people.
7. Envy = I almost never get jealous of someone.

I disagree that gaming is sloth. It takes a lot of effort to achieve things in video games these days.Rnr1224 said:
Pride, lust, wrath, and sloth.
I am proud of who i am and what i do, i hate alot of random people and get angered, i am to lazy to act on that anger or most school work, and i am a man. of course i lust.

Difficult question. I do all of them.
Except 'envy'. But only because I'm too proud to be be envious. So I'll go for that one.

This is a tough one, not because I'm a perfect individual but because I commit many of the deadly sins a day.
I chose sloth though because I think that's the one I commit most often, but there's also lust, envy, gluttony, and occasionally greed.
