So a while back, Tomska (the Youtuber) released a video in which he discussed his five biggest flaws. This got me thinking about my own flaws and how they affect my life. So, Escapists! It's time to be honest with yourself, what are your five biggest flaws. Don't worry, you'll feel liberated! Please leave your answer in a format such as is displayed below in my own answer. Xxx
1. I am extremely socially awkward - Without wanting to invoke any social stereotypes, I am sure that this is true for many users of this site. I'm perfectly fine talking to people I know and like but I am abysmal around people who intimidate me. Thanks to my interest in acting and the dramatic arts I've managed to become a little more confident and create an illusion of charisma but intense social situations still scare me, partly down to my passionate hatred of small talk.
2. I worry too much about what people think of me - While I think it's healthy to be concerned about how your peers view you, I often find myself over-analysing everything my peers say and come to the conclusion that nobody likes me. I hope that this isn't the case but it does cause me to put a stupid amount of effort into what I wear and how I come across. This also stretches over to relationships but don't worry, that's coming up next...
3. I have the romantic skills of a toaster - Without wanting to sound too pretentious, I consider myself to be a romanticist. I fall in love too easily and I will do anything for an attractive woman. These would be noble traits fitting of a young Casanova if it weren't for the fact that I can rarely find the courage to 'make a move' making my romantic 'skills' a perfect zero...
4. I am dyscalculic - Discalculia is pretty much Dyslexia but with maths. My brain just is NOT mathematical, I'm not good at quick mental arithmetic. I have the ability to think logically and I'm fairly certain that I'm not stupid but that's just how it is. It's something that I've always been rather insecure about and is kind of a *****.
5. I have a trouble sleeping - This is mainly down to the fact that I have had pretty bad Tinnitus since birth (Gav from Miracle of Sound, you have my respect). I've managed to fit my life around being constantly tired and as a result have developed large grey marks under my eyes. I'll usually only get about 2-4 hours a night of sleep which sucks but I've managed to adapt to it pretty well.
Well.. That was liberating!
