What are your weaknesses?

My biggest weakness: my need to impress. All of the other weaknesses I could list (and there are many, among which my endless self-criticism) can basically be filed under that.

I hate it. I really see myself as a pretty independent person, but I know that a lot of the actions I take (or don't take) are based around the fact that I completely hate to look like an idiot in public. Of course, likewise, my need to have others laugh in my presence - I hate being grim - makes me act like an idiot on purpose in order to get people to like me.

Whether or not people like me or not is really important to me. It's pretty sickening.

I said that I wouldn't do certain things because of people around me, and that's true. I won't go out in a group because I don't want to do or say something that will make me look like a fool. I don't go to the beach because I'm fat. (I won't do anything that involves losing clothes). I've even begun to avoid going out to eat with certain people because of the way I look when I eat.

...Jesus. I didn't realize how bad this has gotten. =/
