Your five flaws

[AlbertoDeSanta]

Alright. I can do this.

1. I take on too much responsibility - All the damn time. It's just the way I am.

2. I'm shy - Shy enough to the point that I can't even apologize to my former best friend. It's a long story, so I'm going to spare the details.

3. I listen too much - I don't speak up in conversations as much as I could or Should. I rarely participated in Class discussions. I listen more then I talk.

4. Body Image - Despite being rather Intelligent, I am Overweight, I am not muscular. I am basically the image a woman would find unattractive.

5. I have strong Opinions - To the point where not much can change them.

 

[MiskWisk]

Only five? Make things harder why don't you.

1. I'm shy. Not exactly a rare one from what I've read but causes far too many problems. It more stems from the fact that if I speak to someone, I am downright terrified of upsetting them. Of course, I've never met them before so how do I know what are safe topics? Solution: Awkward silence.

2. I have little faith in myself to get things right. Seriously, speak to me in real life and most sentences will have something in them to hint I don't think I can do something. I rarely say "I will definitely do this" as a result.

3. I have a low opinion of myself. Thankfully, I've worked on making this helpful so I no longer get upset when someone insults me.

4. I'm fairly pessimistic about things. I try to hope for the best but I always seem to come back to, "but it probably won't work."

5. I get attached to things a little to easily. I think this has something to do with being shy but once I found something I like, I will tend to get a little protective over it and can get agitated very easily when there are problems.

Captcha: bad egg
Sure, rub it in why don't you.

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

1. I am brutally honest, though this is why I don't mind talking behind people's back because I usually say it to there face before or shortly after.

2.I can be repetitive, use the same joke or saying a few to many time's.

3.I have to dry of sarcasm, so much so it's to hard to distinguish from non-sarcasm

4.General awkwardness, from my speaking to my dancing, it just look's awkward.

5.General short temperateness in video games, though only online games.

 

[THE_JOKE_KING33]

1. Lazy as ****. Like I hate having to do anything.

2. Procrastinate excessively.

3. Low self-esteem.

4. *Completely* apathetic towards stuff that doesn't interest me(More than likely the reason I barely passed my subjects in High School, outside of History which I got an A in.)

5.

4. I am not academically minded - I have been told I am intelligent and I know a great deal of knowledge for things I am interested in, I can tell you every single tidbit about the Final Fantasy, Elder Scrolls and Fallout series (to name a few) and I have a deep interest in history and mythology...but my years in secondary (high) school were hard because many subjects were tough, stemming from lack of interest (Math was a ***** for me too mate) I did them, but my grade never went above or below a C.

^That.

 

[gritch]

Well let's see.

1. Extremely Disorganized It's not that I'm incapable of sorting my things they just seem to naturally become a mess too quickly for me to bother. I don't remember how many times I've had to clear out my entire book bag/room to find a single assignment.
2. Arrogant At least when it's something I feel I'm good at (academics mostly). It's definitely come and bit me in the ass a few times already.
3. Absent Minded If I don't write something down I'm going to forget it and even if I do write it down there's a good chance I won't be able to find it again (see flaw 1)
4. Monotone I've been told repeatedly that I can't use sarcasm because I'm just too emotionless. Some of my friends suggested I go as far as announce my emotional intent before a sentence like an Elcor...
5. Laziness Probably the the root cause of most of these other flaws. I'm rather busy with classes and work but when i have any free time I tend to waste it rather than doing what I really should do instead.

 

[Colour Scientist]

Well, isn't this a lovely, happy thread dedicated to self-loathing.

Keep smiling, guys.

 

[Euryalus]

-snip-

Well shit, apart from dyscalculia, that's pretty much me. I also procrastinate a lot and have Aspergers (High functioning autism now?) so I find it harder to empathize with others...and read body language.

Other than that, I'm pretty much perfect

 

[Patrick Buck]

Ok, let's make this my five "Biggest" flaws, because wow, we just don't have the time.

1: I hate expressing myself. I cannot be nice to people face to face, I have to text or message them. Face to face... I just can't express myself, I get all awkward and make jokes Chalndler style, and have to bail. It's not pretty.

2: I hate myself so much.

3: I hate myself SO GODDAMN MUCH.

4: I procrastinate. Right now I'm putting off going to bed, but I really need to seeing as I have a shit-tonne of work to do tomorrow, and I only got back from London yesterday late, and then went out drinking so I'm fucking shattered.

5: I drink, occasionally smoke, and always lie about the drinking and smoking.

And on top of this, I feel no guilt at all about any of these things, which is why I hatemyself so much.
Wow, that depressed me. Fun times.

 

[AVeryClassyCat]

1. I have so many things I've started and never finished. I'm getting way better about this, but it still comes up on occasion and is a huge pain.

2. I have some pretty irrational fears despite being an ardent atheist and science-lover. Like, I can't stand the dark and mirrors just creep me out.

3. I have a really low attention span, sometimes I'll tab away to something else while I'm doing something online and not come back to whatever I was originally doing for hours.

4. My anxieties are off the charts, even a small thing I did years ago can send me into a brief bout of worry.

5. I'm worse at games than I'd like to admit, but I'm working on that too.

 

[lacktheknack]

This is quite the depressing thread.

1. I suffer incredible brain farts. Many times I've wished I could retract the last twenty seconds of time because I accidentally said something incredibly stupid that I don't actually think.

2. I suck at finishing things. I love to start things, I get frustrated or bored of them much too easily.

3. I'm wishy-washy. Maybe not so much on the forums, where I can think about my thoughts before typing, but in real life, I can't think as fast as a normal conversation. So I just smile, say "OK", and come up with tons of things I SHOULD have said about three minutes later.

4. I'm too entertainment driven. I have a bunch of things to do, but I'd really rather play Duke Nukem 2 again.

5. I react badly to new social situations. I won't go so far as to say I'm socially inept, but if I'm in a social situation that's never happened to me before, I typically make a hilarious fool out of myself. Heaven help me if a girl asks me out, which is apparently an increasingly common thing.

 

[Seagoon]

*snip*

Just to clarify, the object of this thread is to explore your worst flaws. I'm not suggesting that any humans downfalls can be sorted into five slots.

*snip again*

Yeah, I guess I should have seen this coming. I'd rather people viewed this as a self analysis in order to make way for self improvement instead of mindless self criticism.

*once more, snip*

Yes, I heard about your Aspergers before. I'm by no means an expert on the subject but, having chatted to you a couple times on camera and spoken to you many times more in IL I can say that you genuinely seem like a perfectly approachable, friendly guy and you've certainly made me question my own judgement of people.

 

[Xarathox]

Alrighty, guess I should stop procrastinating.

1. I'm way too cynical. I'm very distrustful of peoples good intentions, especially if directed towards me. Often times this leads me to mentally brush someone off as just being selfish, for the sake of their image. It's not really something I can easily fix, since a lot of times I'm validated in my assumption. There are a lot of people out there who do "good" to look good.

2. Anti-social. This goes a bit hand-in-hand with my Cynicism. Because of my distrusting nature, I tend to keep myself to myself. I'm not entirely adverse to having friends, but I keep their numbers extremely low, about 1 or 2 at any given time, and I tend to lose contact with them for long periods of time (months to years).

3. Procrastination Specialist. Self explanatory, really.

4. Too good at doing my job(s). On the surface this looks like it would be a good thing. However, it isn't. I always find the most expedient and efficient methods possible to finish my tasks, which often leaves me with a good amount of free time. This makes me look like I'm goofing off, when in reality I just get done way ahead of schedule. However, I also don't go looking for things to do once I'm caught up, because I have a firm belief in not doing other peoples jobs for them since they are usually the ones goofing off and falling behind. Because of this, I've never held a job for more than a year, because when it's time to cut back I'm the first on the list.

5. Dyscalculia. Like the OP, I'm stupid at math which forced me to drop out of high school 15 years ago and kept me from even obtaining a GED. I could rectify that in this day and age with online tests (which I could freely cheat at), but since I have no real ambition to obtain a degree in any college courses, I just procrastinate.

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

1) I'm such a lier, and I tend to lie if it can get me out of things which leads on...
2) I can't accept responsibility at all
3) I'm emotionally barren, and in turn I'm incredibly blunt towards others, which in turn means
4) I tend to be rather dismissive of other peoples thoughts and feelings, unless I can understand them. then I'm as empathetic as hell.
5) I'm to sexy/confident for my own good. Mainly sexy.

I'm also amazed at the amount of self loathing in this thread, come on guys, chin up.

 

[DkLnBr]

1: I have horribly low self-esteem and poor confidence. Back in 2006 I had thoughts of suicide. Things have gotten MUCH better, but there still is residue of that time lingering around. I have a hard time saying nice things about myself (It still always feels undeserved) and I second guess my decisions all the time because I dont have the confidence to stick with them
2: I have no motivation. My to-do list is constantly growing, and I even put off stuff that I like doing because I just cant get around to doing them. Even putting deadlines on stuff doesnt help
3: Terribly disorganized. My room is a mess, and that mess spreads to wherever I spend a lot of time (smaller messes appear near my spot on the couch and in the basement) I can barely see the top of my desk, and most of my clothes are on a pile on the floor (both dirty and clean, they're not separate). My schedule is in a similar state, where I try and agree to see 3 people at the same the same time
4: Absent-minded. Its hard for me to stay focused or remember details. My parents are convinced that I have ADD, though i've never been diagnosed
5: I have trouble swallowing food. Everything I listed was a personality or mental flaw, so here is a physical one. When I eat meat/bread/root vegetables/strawberries they end up going down slow and sometimes getting stuck. Never choking though, I have always been able to breath during every episode. So I tend to need a non-carbonated/non-alcoholic drink whenever eating to help it go down. Its been suggested to go to a doctor to have it checked out but #2-4 have been preventing me.


Actually these two apply to me as well:

2. I avoid confrontation at all costs
I hate arguments or stating when something bothers me. I let it build up inside of me where it turns into a much bigger issue then it would have been if I had just said something about it.

4. I apologise for everything
When someone bumps into me, I apologise to them. A while ago when I was on my way to school with a friend I walked into a wall and then apologised to it. That's right.

 

[The Hero Killer]

1. I have low self confidence
2. I'm lazy
3. I'm pessimistic
4. I'm unattractive
5. I have an extreme lack of empathy

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

1. I'm too sexy for my love.
2. I'm too sexy for my shirt.
3. I'm too sexy for your party.
4. I'm too sexy for my car.
5. I'm too sexy for my cat.

It's a hard life.

 

[ejb626]

You sound a lot like me minus the sleeping, and the performing arts parts. I've always been terrible with numbers. I'm sorry you have trouble sleeping by the way.
So mine will be a bit similar.

1. I'm socially awkward. On this campus, I have one good friend who's transferring somewhere else after this semester and I can't seem to form any connections with anyone else. I'm just bad at knowing what to say in conversations and reading people.

2. I have anger issues. I tend to get angry at either myself for doing something stupid, forgetting something, or losing something, or video games. When I'm angry I get quite loud and destructive. Some particularly frustrating LoL matches recently have led to a broken pencil sharpener and several shards of plastic and pennies littering my floor after I threw a plastic box into it. Also someone in my dorm hall wrote "Please stop shouting, it's obnoxious" on my door's exterior whiteboard.

3. I'm lazy as hell, I procrastinate way too much. If I don't know for sure weather I have to do something I just assume I don't. Hell, I'm procrastinating right now writing this damn post. I try to organize myself and schedule my time but then I just ignore the schedule. I can't seem to actually make myself study or read when the schedule says to. I just tend to get sucked into the internet, and lose track of time.

4. I can't take criticism at all. Every time I am insulted even in the most minor way, like when some random on LoL accuses me of feeding or some shit, I seem to take it on a deep personal level. My stomach twists, my heart rate increases, and my mind races. I just can't handle being insulted. I try to ignore it but it still gets to me in some way. Sometimes I think of times I was insulted in the past going all the way back to Middle School and regret not having any good comebacks.

5. And the last one is funny considering that one. I'm really too hard on myself. I criticize myself non-stop, I sometimes wonder if this is why I have such a hard time taking criticism.

 

[DragonV2.0]

i have trained procrastination to level 5

ill get to the other 4 later....

 

[Lynx]

Good thread!

1. Depressive tendencies. I'm 22 and I've been clinically depressed more than once. Genetics are a heavy component in that mix. I'm doing fabulous right now and I think I'll be fine for at least another year, but I need to be mindful of the early signs of a fallback and accept that it will likely happen sometime again.
2. Stupid Rosacea... Blotches of red across my cheeks, slowly spreading to my chin and forehead. Ugly as hell. Good thing I'm a girl and nobody questions me putting a ton of makeup on my skin to cover it up.
3. I can be passive aggressive. This is something I truly dislike, and it stems from a very deep-seated fear of conflict. This has had some negative impact on my relationship, and I'm working very hard to be more upfront with my feelings. I've been doing a lot better lately, but I still have a way to go.
4. I smoke.
5. Bitchy when stressed out. Basically, if I'm late to work or some important rendezvous and I can't find my keys or something, I tend to snap at the first person who walks in the room. Very big flaw, I think.

 

[Jux]

1. Procrastinate

2. Spread my interests too wide, have a hard time following through with projects started

3. Selfish with my time, I do things on my own schedule, everyone else be damned

4. Inexpressive of anger until I pop like a boilerplate (which is rarely, but severe enough that I'd consider it a major flaw)

5. Lack of drive to push myself. More of a lazy river than whitewater rapids here.
