Your biggest personality flaw??

[Brad Russ]

Man, I have so many when I think about it, it's actually quite depressing, but I think my biggest is jealousy. I have been a jealous person my whole life, but it's gotten worse over the years. I first started really noticing it when I first broke up with my ex over a year ago. I would get livid when I'd see her talking to other guys in the neighborhood, and I'd get really hurt when she wouldn't want to hang out with me as much as she once did. I've gotten better as far as she goes, but now my big problem is with friends. I get so jealous when I have a great friend who is tight with me, and then all of a sudden, they start treating and talking to others the same way they use to talk with me. It makes me feel dispensible, and played. I have no problem with my friends having other friends, it's just when they start treating others the way they once treated me, while seemingly forgetting about me that hurts. It's embarrassing to admit this, but I just thought I'd be honest. What is your guys' biggest personality flaw??

[catlover79]

Pettiness, selfishness, fearfulness...

[EmoJoe]

i dont know how to say no to people.

[MickeyMac]

I can be over sensitive at times. For instance sometimes somebody may joke with me, and I will think they are serious. I have been working that, and I still have a ways to go, but I am better than I was about 5 years ago when I took everything way too seriously.

[PlayOn]

my temper and mouth are my biggest problems. docs say theirs hope. lol. ;)

[Big C]

Anger.

I have a temper problem.

[Darren J.]

Not sure offhand. My biggest flaws have absolutely nothing to do with my personality.

[PunkyP0WER]

i don't speak up for myself enough. i wish i were more motivated. i have a tendency to be lazy. i'm too self conscious. i'm a pessimistic. how much time do we have.........

[steevo]

Very oversensitive. I tend to take things personally where perhaps I shouldn't, like when someone is joking. I sometimes don't know whether they are kidding or serious. It is something I continue to work through.

[Shine]

I tend to hold grudges. When someone has done me wrong, or I think they have done me wrong, I have a very difficult time being forgiving. When I am feeling down I tend to be needy of other's affections. I am also too sensitive at times. In all these areas I've made improvments, but there is still along way to go.

[Faith]

My temper.. and jealously

[Schmoopie]

Definitely being sensitive (although I don't think there's anything wrong with being overly sensitive-nor do I really believe in that term), and not being able to stand up for myself and say what I really mean to say without feeling guilty about it.

[browneyes106]

I also have jealousy problems.

[LuLu Rogers]

Foot-In-Mouth Disease ohno:

[Darren J.]

Foot-In-Mouth Disease ohno:


My dad is the same way. The sad part is that isn't even the worst part regarding his personality.

[dawsongirl]

Man, I have so many when I think about it, it's actually quite depressing

Same here; not sure which would be the worst though. The fear, the self-doubt, the lack of self-esteem, thinking I do things better than everyone else...

Those last two kind of counter each other. lol

[dawsongirl]

i'm a pessimistic.

I could live to be 200 and I will NEVER understand optimists. They are just setting themselves up for disappointment, imo.

[Hollow]

i've been accused of being too vicious and for too long towards people who have done me wrong. i've definitely noticed a difference between myself and others in that area. i honestly haven't come to a verdict of my own though.

my sense of security varies, but i have maniacal anxiety that can stop me from doing just about anything it wants me to, no matter how trivial the basis for the reason is.

[beautifuldreamer]

Hmmm... how many do you want? :lol:

1. Probably the biggest one, I am always overattached to people... my friends, teachers, and really anyone who should be nothing more than a kind "aquaintance" many times turns out to be someone that I sob over after they have left me. I think this stems from being homeschooled my whole life, and always having the same set of friends... when you get older, I think you have to enjoy as people come in to and out of your life... but that is nearly always upsetting to me. :(

2. I'm over-organized... maybe it doesn't seem bad, but I tend to get very controlling about things that affect me. :rolleyes:

3. Lack of drive/competition... ummm yeah, I have none. Why win? Why compete? I don't get it! :crazy:

4. Quietness, not being able to say what I want at the time... for some reason, any time I am around someone I really like, and I'm not even talking about romantically here, just friends or people I admire, I find myself speechless.:eek: I just stare and smile... I think many people feel that I come off really shy, and I'm not!:happyface Just when I am around really awesome people... it's like words aren't even good enough.

There are so many more.... I don't have time to post them all this month. :lol:

[littlebelle]

Anger.

I have a temper problem.

:eek: What??? I never would have guessed.

[littlebelle]

Bad temper and aggression. It's my biggest flaw, and has troubled me my whole life. I have a problem with letting people who hurt me emotionally, physically, physiologically ect. just get away with what they're doing. Right when somebody makes me mad or hurst me, I attack- it's a really hard sensation to understand and only somebody else with a temper problem could explain it. It's like your mind goes blurry and you just become infused with rage and you will say anything or do anything that you feel will demonstrate your anger. I just go at it with somebody over any little thing, like I have to prove to them that they just said that to the wrong person. I really am trying to change, but it isn't doing any good. Anger management doesn't help, and I really try to apply what they say to me to my life but it just doesn't make sense to me. They always say "pick your battles, it's not worth it, don't stoop to their level, if get mad about every little thing you'll be mad your whole life ect". I'm like this with my family, friends, boyfriends, people at school, but mostly random people out in the world or customers at work. There are so many stupid people out there... :(

I'm not a mean person, I just get upset about things that people say.

Would you say you can sometimes be a hothead?

[Big C]

:eek: What??? I never would have guessed.

It's not a horribly serious thing.

Only two things can ever really get me mad:

1. When I watch a sporting event and the outcome sometimes is not what I want

2. When I do poorly on a school assignment

If any of those things happen, I can erupt.

It's like one minute I'm mild-mannered, the next, I'm a hothead- it's like Ghost Rider, only without the fire.

One thing I can say- it's something that can easily be cooled off as quickly as it starts. A good meal or watching TV always does the job.

[InspectorExstead]

oh gosh. SO many to name.
i have jealousy issues.
i'm WAY too dang emotional sometimes. it's ruined some good moments.
i'm a little ocd and like things done my way.
i can be very competitive, which isn't best when playing sports with friends. lol.
i get annoyed/irritated way too easily.
i have really high expectations for my friends, that i probably wouldn't be able to live up to myself.
the list could go on, and on, and on.

MEGAN!!! YOU'RE BACK!!! :bighug: :bighug: :bighug:

[Family Ties Forever!]

I would say that:
That I'm shy
Self-esteem issues
I worry a lot
Trust issues, esp. with guys
I expect a lot out of myself just like my mother expects a lot from me.

[Sharop]

They're not if they understand the Law of Attraction and are consciously creating their own reality! :)

An aspect of the New Age beliefs is the belief that everyone creates their own experiences through their beliefs, thoughts and emotions. So feeling negative and expecting to experience negativity will draw negativity to you. But thinking positive and expecting (and firmly believing you will get positive experiences) will bring positivity to you. It's all through the Law of Attraction. Seth, channelled by Jane Roberts, was constantly saying "You create your own reality" and explaining how people did so, often unconsciously. Another quote from one of the Abraham books (Abraham is an entity channelled by Esther Hicks) - "You get what you think about, whether you want it or not."

Do you know much about the New Age beliefs, dawsongirl? They are fascinating. There's also the issue of astral projection - which is when a person consciously leaves their body and gets onto the astral plane, where they also create their own experiences and can do whatever they wish. We all leave our bodies while we're asleep but we don't remember it because we're not awake. Astral projection is doing this while awake so we can remember what happens to us.

For instance, on the astral plane, once you're experienced enough, you can think of being on the moon, and instantly be there! It's great.

[robyrob]

i dont know how to say no to people.
can you give me $5.

i'm impatient.

...and I mean that as a character flaw AND i want that money NOW.

[Number 9 Dream]

I'm with you on the jealousy issues, Brad. Everything you said could be used as an example in my life. I guess it all stems from my insecurity. I'm terribly insecure, so I perceive everyone else as a threat (for example, I'm LIVID that the professor I admire and love is now showering praises on to another student. It just makes me so jealous, and I think to myself: Wow is there something wrong with me?).

Being insecure/jealous is probably the worst thing there is :( It seems like everyone is out to get you, when in actuality it's probably not even true.

I can be jealous too, Kristel, I'm afriad. I'm never proud of myself when I feel this way, but I sometimes do. Just like John Lennon, I can be a "Jealous Guy".

That I'm shy
Self-esteem issues

Being shy isn't a flaw, Jenny. :)

Some of my other flaws include:

Being pessimistic
Being used
Anger
Holding grudges
Fear
Lack of Drive
Laziness
Big time trust issues

Just to name a few more. :lol:

[dawsongirl]

like things done my way.

Yeah, me too. I get too irritated sometimes when things aren't done the way I think they should be.

[dawsongirl]

Sometimes I think that would be an asset. :lol:

Hey, I'm with you guys too...
I have never in my life been jealous of what someone had (material things, money, etc.) However, it happens so often that I get jealous of people's affections and attention not being focused on me. :(

That's the exact same with me. I couldn't care less about what people have that I don't. I never even give that a second thought. It's people, and their loyalties, or lack there of, and them using me for a time, until they find someone better than me to take my place, which makes me jealous. I'm one of those who believe that true friendships should be for life!!

[howierules86]

I am very overly sensitive on a lot of things myself (most of these things involve TV, surprisingly). Also, If a nice lady is sweet to me, I will let them know that I think they're sweet.

[littlebelle]

How about the Incredible Hulk?? :eek: :lol:


Lol! I do emit sort of a greenish glow, don't I?

[Purffin]

Im pretty negative, but i just see it as being realistic. I dont sugar coat things and people mistake that for being a grouch.:mad: Oh well

[MickeyMac]

At dinner last night this was pointed out by a friend of mine. Another big personality flaw I have is not being able to make small talk. I am a pretty quiet person at times, and am shy(not as shy as I used to be). I have found over the years my quiteness has creeped people out. I have heard people whisper behind my back "Why is Mickey so quiet".

[Crimson and Clover]

jealousy
shyness

I hate small talk, and I am NEVER the first to talk.

[Brieannas21]

I'm too trusting of people, I have given strangers rides.... I have little patients, I hate waiting for people.

[Penny Lane]

I tend to be a head nodder even if I don't agree with someone or their views. I sometimes really dislike myself when
I don't challenge someone when I think or know that they are wrong. I was always taught to not make waves or don't rock the boat which I think is very very wrong. Because of this I had kept things bottled up inside for years and that is not a good thing. I must say that the older that I get the more free I feel to express my views which is everybody's right.
