What are your weaknesses?

My biggest weakness is that I'm virtually always incapable of being emotional.

This and my... hmm... lets call it "lazyness". If someone wants to start an argument with me I'd rather just give up the friendship than fighting with him or her.

Others say I suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorders but I don't really regard them as a weakness, more as a special ability to be keen on cleaning my flat and to adjust things parallely.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

~ the opposite sex. I am an incorrigable flirt, and this has gotten me into trouble on more than one occasion. I make bad decisions regarding men, always. I think alot of it has to do with wanting the attention--it's funny because I'm not an attention whore in any other area, unlike most theatre people I know.

~ I am generally needy and insecure. I need constant affirmation that I'm loved and wanted and have worth and talent and ability and all that. Very annoying, and detrimental to relationships. I'm also constantly conscious of what other people think or see about me.

~ I'm either very selfish or I put everyone else's needs before mine. There seems to be no middle ground; I'll swing from one extreme to the other.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Despite how I might act, I sometimes suffer from lack of self-confidence. Though I excel in things once I get going, I often have trouble working up the nerve to begin, because I'm worried about failing.

I have a few weaknesses.
First, I have a MAJOR problem about discipline.
You know tht bright kid you knew in high school who could do awesome if he only bothered to apply himself just a little bit? That was me.
Also (and this may not be a weakness, but some think it is) I cannot be emotional in public, except perhaps happy. I just can't.
I also have severe problems communicating in any manner that is not in type. I think critically, and analyze each phrase carefully, and that is not possible when I have a bad memory, and the words float through the air to my ear, and then are no more.

How ya doing, buddy?

I had suspisions about that nadi. Sucks since (online, at least) you don't seem like you'd need all that reinforcement.

As for me - I'd say pessimism. I've said some pretty shitty stuff and lost friends because of it. If my girlfriend could stand on her own 2 feet, she'd probably be gone, too.

That, and porn. That's cause plenty of arguements, too.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Embarresment.

FELIPE NO

1) Kryptonite.

2) Cheese.

Other than that I'd say putting things off till I can muster the effort to do them, when I am perfectly able to do them there and then, sporadic laziness can be a bitch.

I'm far to to trusting of people... I tend to look at every person I meet as someone who is potentially saint like, untill I find a fault.

it has put me in a lot of hurtful situations... at 20 years old, you would think I would grow out of such a nieve habit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'd have to say that I'm way too trusting of people as well. Another big fault of mine is the fact that I can become very obsessive/clingy. Once I find someone/something that I really really like, I become extremely obsessed with them or just clingy with them, and I never let go for quite a long time. And the reason for that is because...I have a very low self-esteem. Basically, I'm needy and insecure and I've always been very conscious about what other people may think and see about me. I seem to always need constant confirmation of my good points and of being loved and wanted. I think things will never be right for me and that I'm horrible...and lots more...therefore if I do find something right, I will do my best to hold on to that. Though, I am working on bringing up my self-esteem!

I think realizing your weaknesses is a good step towards becoming a better person. If you can learn to deal with your weaknesses then there's really nothing left to fear.
I have many weaknesses. I'm insecure, I'm extremely stubborn and I'm quite shy around people. But, since I'm consiously trying to overcome these weaknesses, I can feel that I'm actually improving.
Before, I used to get mad a lot. But now, it's different. I've learned to control that part of myself quite well and the few times that I do get angry I take a few deep breaths and try to cool myself down, and it actually works!

Weaknesses are all in your head, and there's nothing that says that you can't erase them entirely. That's what I believe, at least.

Embarassment? You mean like getting caught masturbating or voting for a certain president?

Yeah, I suppose I've had that too, and it seems to come hand in hand with being a little "people-phobic".

Nothing a good pill can't fix.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Fear. I only become weak, in some manner, through fear or anxiety (which is related to fear). So, I'd have to say that fear is my one true weakness.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I bet have a billion weaknesses, but I'll just post the ones that come in mind right now...

1) I don't take criticism well. Sometimes I don't read the notes I get back from the teachers considerng my coursework, if I think I did badly. Or in any everyday life situation too. I would love to be one of those people who take criticism as a way of improving themselves and can view criticism without feeling their efforts are belittled and whatever... It just seems really hard.

2) I am really shy. I don't like having to talk to strangers, even if it were just asking for help in a shop or talking with your hairdresser or calling to some office... I never know what to say and how I am supposed to act. Most people probably find me rude and cold because of this.

3) Procrastinating things. If it's something I dislike doing, being having to wash my hair when I don't feel like it, to going somewhere I don't like to go, or doing anything unpleasant, I just - don't do it. And this is so inconvinient and frustrates me that if I had just gone and done it it would have been done by now and I wouldn't have to sit here and worry about it. I have actually improved a bit. I don't leave everything so late as I used to, and I do do the schoolwork and other stuff that matters way on time. But like, if there is a card I need to take to the post, and the post office is out of the way, it may take ridicuously long time for me to actually bother going there, even if it's not such a big deal at all.

4) Can't get up in the mornings very early. Some people are like this, but I find the society has been made for the morning people and that's why I think it's a weakness. Ever since I was a kid in the kinderkarten, it was hard for my mum and dad to get me up in the morning. And it wasn't that I didn't go to bed early enough. I remember as a kid I had problems sleeping. I just couldn't fall asleep. This was all fixed when I got older and got my chance to decide on my own bedtimes and only went to sleep when I was genuinly tired - only this seems to be much later than the rest of my family.

FELIPE NO

My biggest fault is probably that I'm way too nice to people. I always want to make everyone else happy before myself. My friends always tell me that I should do things for me more often but I just get caught tending to other people first. I guess my fault is not that I'm too nice, it is that I put everyone else on a higher level that myself.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I think my most major fault is that A LOT of people consider me to be super-quiet when they first meet me. I've been told many times over that I don't really talk (besides greetings) until weeks or months down the line. The reason why I do this is because I'm observing and analyzing the people and the environment. Once I find a decent person, then I start talking.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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. =/

Most amazing jew boots

Err I am polarized (such a two face I am), I misread women...ugh, I get depressed often, I really despise myself, I give up fairly easily, and ...oh yes I have great pride. My character contradicts itself too often.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I can be very confrontational when provoked by certain types of personalities. The biggest enemy? Two-faced people and back stabbers. Nothing gets me going more than someone who will smile to me one minute and talk behind my back another.

I'm also a procrastinator, which is the nice way of saying I can be very lazy when I really shouldn't be.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I can't imagine how I could forget this: I'm vain like no one else. I can't go out of house before I take a shower and style my hair - I think the last time I had no gel in my hair when I was outside was in 2002.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Being nice is a good thing though, you just need to find the people who appreciate it. When you do, you'll thank yourself for being such a nice guy. However, you should try to value yourself a bit more. Only give kindness to the ones who really deserve it or it will backfire and people will start using you.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I am gullable and too nice...damnit

FELIPE NO

I have a tendency to be sensitive to almost everything people say. Even if it doesn't involve me. I've been better at trying not to get involved but it still does happen. If it gets to the point where I can't take it anymore, I yell out of the blue.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Most of my faults can be traced to two points:

One. I am needy. I am so damn incredibly needy, in so many ways. I hate being as dependent as I am.

Two. I am a wounded emo kid. I've been through shit and I've formed this shell around myself - and you guys know how that works because you've played RPGs have watched anime and the like. Except that it's something people typically don't find attractive (much to my dismay).

So I'm dependent, but I won't allow myself to depend on others. Stuck in a vicious cycle, I am.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I can't tolerate ignorance, stupidity and authority.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
