What are your weaknesses?

As humans, we've all got our faults.

What are some of your major weaknesses and how do you accommodate for them in your daily living? Are you accepting of your faults? Are they minor in your opinion?

Admitting faults and weaknesses is nothing to be ashamed of, so don't come around with the attitude that you ain't got none, son.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I swear to God with my track record involving the opposite sex, it's a wonder that I'm not in the nuthouse.

Like I said: Look at your personality. You have a tendency to attract pyschos with it. (Not that I am innocent, here.)

Don't feel bad, though. So many men seem to have the weakness of women that we females can easily exploit it. Its almost a blessing to be gay from the perspective of men. You're immune to the wiles of women.

Anyways, I have tons and tons of weaknesses. Lets see if I can nail them.

1.) Constant need for control. I think this one stems from the hardships I endured in my childhood. I can NOT stand people making decisions on my behalf when I have no say in them. This is MY life and I don't want people making important decisions for me. I am not bad at management - I think I have some pretty good management skills. I've also been pegged as a natural leader for some reason. But that could just be part of the next weakness.

2.) Pride. I am the most arrogant son of a bitch. I realize it and try not to be so arrogant and proud sometimes. I realize it's not something a lot of people want to put up with, but in my head at least 20 times a day, I think to myself "God, I am so fucking awesome."

3.) An overwhelming sense of obligation. I always obligate myself to everything and usually help anyone whenever they need help and bother asking for it. This really tires me out on a daily basis - I often take on much more than I can handle, but I always push myself to be productive and efficient so I CAN accomplish everything on my plate.

4.) Food. I fucking love food. Thats why I am fat. Because I eat a lot. That and I emotionally eat. I prevent myself from feeling most of the time because I regard emotions as a kind of weakness. I won't allow myself to feel a lot of things. Instead, I will eat food. Not in any huge portions, usually. But if I am sad, happy, celebrating, whatever, I eat.

5.) A resentment of any emotion but anger. Some people have called me the "angiest woman alive." This may well be true, but anger seems to be my only truly motivating emotion. Being sad never gets anything done - nor being happy. ANGER is a great motivator, and it combines with #2 to make a super working machine.

6.) The sense of being "productive" constantly. Almost every free moment of my day, I need to be doing something. If I spend a day of the weekend just sitting home, watching movies or whatever, I REALLY beat myself up. "I didn't get a fucking thing done today. Way to waste my time." In essence, I guess I hate wastes of time. Thats probably why I make everything into a competition. Its also why I smoke, I think. FIDGET.

Theres more, but those 6 essentially govern all of them. =/

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Obviously everyone knows these seven sins, but I'll list them for reference anyways.

Did you know the seven sins are based on human nature? HOLY SHIT. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED that the equation works in reality.

Come on, dude. Don't bring religion into this.

O, its quite a religious construct.

Check it out.

It's no coincidence that its based on the actual nature of mankind. Like religion itself, but no matter. Figure you may enjoy the link. Who knows.

But please - this about personal weaknesses - not about God. PLEASE, for the love of all things, DO NOT start a religious debate in here. ;_;

(Note about myself: I'm a scientific person and I don't follow religions. I may believe in god at times, but never a religion.)

My apologies, then, on flipping out. I figured you were dragging religion into this when you mentioned them. I didn't realize that you actually didn't know that they were religious in nature - I thought you were just being snide.

I am sorry. ;_;
