Your Flaws

[Total LOLige]

I haven't got any confidence, so I always put off social occasions and shit like that. My lack of self confidence makes me look lazy.

I'm llike the dog from the Volkswagen advert

 

[Agent Larkin]

I am quite narrow minded in what I believe and won't listen to other people when they try to argue them with me. However I will change my believes if I find information that convinces me otherwise.

I am a cripplingly shy person when I first meet people.

I have a very bad habit of not being able to spell certain words. Antidisestablishmentarianism no problems. Ask me to spell certain simple words however and my brain will just shut down.

I am a compulsive liar. But have been taking steps to curb this before it gets really out of hand.

I am a cynical person who only believes in the worst of humanity 99% of the time.

I am quite lonely and just lack the ability to just go out and do something with any of the people I know.

I have a terrible fear that I will screw up my second try at college education and be stuck living with my parents for the rest of their lives.

I have a borderline obsessive fascination with firearms and history. While not a flaw to me per say it is more of a socially viewed flaw in that others see it as a bad thing.

 

[Korolev]

I'm arrogant. I try not to be, but I am. And it's a bad, bad flaw.

I also take absolutely no effort to maintain friendships. I make no effort to keep in contact with people. As a result, while I have acquaintances and colleagues, I have no personal friends except for close family members.

I value science and technology and mathematics as the most important things in the entire world. As a result, I tend to look down on civilizations that have not achieved as much in those realms. It's racist, and it's wrong - we can't judge people based on what their ancestors did or did not do. Also, there is more to the human experience than science and mathematics. But I still have this slightly condescending attitude towards some cultural groups who never even got around to figuring out how to write. I am one of those people who believe in progress and change, but that leads me to look down on groups that don't change or want to change or haven't progressed according to my very strict (and some would say very narrow) view on progress.

I'm trying to get rid of this attitude, but its difficult. I strongly believe that if our species was incapable of science or mathematics, then it wouldn't be worth saving.

I will say that I am not a biological racist - I'm mixed race myself (Chinese/English). I strongly hold the view that all people all around the world are people. I've met smart white people, smart asian people, smart black people, smart indigenous australian people, smart arabic people, smart indian people, smart every-type of people. I strongly believe that biologically, we're pretty much on a level playing field.

But I still can't bring myself to think the same of cultures. I know I should. I know I shouldn't look down on other people's cultures... but still.... when a culture didn't even learn how to WRITE.... um....err.... I can't think anything more than "WOW! You guys didn't even learn to WRITE?! Ooohh... Um. Well. That's.... pretty sad." No writing = no philosophy = no science = no advanced technology. And without technology or the strive to become something greater than what we are, what is humanity?

I know, I know - it's wrong to think this way. It undervalues the other aspects of humanity (kindness, love, art) that are very important. Still.... I have this reflexive bent towards science and technology. I think its turning me into a bad person.

I'm lazy. I tend to be selfish. I'm an underachiever. I hate talking on the phone. I procrastinate. I can't seem to clean my room because it feels too hard. I'd rather not try things that feel like too much effort. I can't seem to take a joke. In fact, I'm overly sensitive to things. I'm a bit tactless. There's probably some hypocrisy in me somewhere. And I'm a judgemental and vindictive female.

That's all that comes to mind right now.

 

[scorptatious]

Well I'm autistic for starters.

That and I'm pretty insecure about myself and my feelings on certain matters. Like how I don't have a job, a driver's licence, a girlfriend, ect.

Whenever I get too angry or frustrated I also find myself crying. It really pisses me off and I wish I had better control over my emotions.

I'm also sometimes insecure about the kinds of games I like. I find a game I really enjoy only to see that someone thinks it's garbage. Logically, it's just one guy's opinion, and it shouldn't matter at all. At least that's what I try to tell myself anyway. Thankfully, that feeling goes away after a while, and I try to remain quiet about that sort of thing.

So yeah, that's me in a nutshell. :/

 

[Canadamus Prime]

It would take too long to list them all. I'll just list a few:
I'm judgmental, stubborn, easily prone to anxiety attacks, I have a tendency to procrastinate, and I have a real tendency to get down on myself.

 

[Sammyjb17]

I'm very self conscious of my appearance.

I can be obnoxious.

I fall too hard for girls too soon.

I sometimes can't stand the person that people think I am.

I am lazy, and a heavy procrastinator.

I don't believe other people mean compliments when they say them to me.

I can be a total asshole and not realize it until years later.

I'm very stubborn.

I go through pretty intense sessions of apathy- sometimes weeks at a time.

My humor is based on pointing out other people's flaws.

 

[FrozenCones]

-snip-

I care too much about what others think of me.

I always second guess myself.

I am insecure in my thoughts, so whenever someone talks to me about their point of view with even a modicum of confidence, I start to wonder if I've been wrong about everything.

I can be lazy/apathetic.

I can get angry and frustrated with the stupidest stuff.

I can be emotionally cold sometimes.

I criticize others as a means to shield my own fragile ego.

I use sarcasm for humour for the same reason above.

I can be stubborn.

I am slow to apologise for things I do wrong, again to maintain my ego.

Loads more but I can't be bothered posting them.

Can you get out of my head now please?!?

Seeing this makes me realize how truly fucked up I am.

 

[Newby_Newb]

I have anger issues ranging from trivial things (game just kicked my ass, obviously cheated), to bigger problems. My anger stems mostly from not being very good at communicating myself, either emotionally or just matter of factly.

I'm insecure about my intelligence, tending to lash out when I feel like I am being made the stupid one in a group.

As I said prior, I am not good at communicating. I can BS with random people on the street no problem, but transferring an idea, or suggestion to someone I know tends to end in frustration for both of us.

I am more vindictive than I would ever care to admit. I cant let things go, at least not for sometime. I get moody, very moody every so often. Some part of me enjoys being upset, thus it is very difficult to come out of said mood even with others trying to help.

Thanks to the internet(No, this wasn't an impulse choice. I truly do feel this is correct) I've become pretty damn cynical, and tend to see, or force myself to see the worst in people.

I get angry at silly things, sometimes things that didn't even actually frustrate me(shows you how much of an automated response it's become) and I've become overly critical of damn near everything.

Believe it or not I used to be a really shy, overly nice kid. What the hell happened to me?
Ah well.

Your post pretty much sums me up.

One last one. Any argument I get into regarding politics, religion, or otherwise, very rarely ever stay "about" the subject in hand. But instead it turns into a "who can get the last word" competition, once again for the sake of ego.

I fail to realise that a genuine seeker of truth (whatever that looks like or is) will always try and find the grains of truth in an opposing view, and not seek to destroy it for the sake of "winning an argument".
