Your biggest flaw/weakness?

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

My biggest flaw would be...well I've got lots.

Topping the list are probably the fact that I'm full of myself, I'm rude, I tend not to care about anyones feeling but mine and I've been told I'm manipulative. (God knows where they got that idea from.)

Personally I agree with most of those assessments, but I think my biggest flaw is that I don't warm up to people very easily, I tend to distance myself from anything that resembles relationships.

I always try to work on my flaws, but even though it's not so bad nowadays, my flaws would be sometimes being passive, tend to save money rather than spend, I'm a perfectionist, a workaholic, and too forgiving.

Maybe not a flaw, but something that is part of me that can be annoying sometimes is that everything has to be earned by me. I can't stand it when somebody spends a ton of money on me. I also have to do my own schoolwork and stuff, they have to be all my own original thoughts, no one can help me. I am content on working for and spending my own money. :lol: Also, I can be a perfectionist.

Laziness or lack of concentration. I have the potential to be a great student, but I don't study at all and still get average, a bit above average results. Then again, I'm definetly not the only one, but still, with all that potential... Maybe I just don't want to stand out.

Laziness here. And also the inability to do deadline tasks before the day just before the deadline.

Hey now, I only accept responsibility for Courtside Comedy. :P I've been there though, I hate to think of what I've spent on basketball videos/DVDs/trading cards/magazines etc over the years but what's done is done. Besides, it's not like I spent it all on a fad that was forgotten in a month's time.

At least that's what I tell myself when I think what might have been. ;)

My biggest flaw is my awesomeness.

Nah i tend not to trust people new people. Too paranoid of hidden motives and such, which annoys me because usually people are just genuinely nice. New people seem to like the person that i am and warm up to me quickly, but the feeling is never mutual. It takes me ages to get comfortable with someone, unless we really click straight away (whether it be male or female) which is rare, or we're drinking and just talk about anything within our drunken rants (actually all of the "new" friends that i have now i've met when i've been drinking. Strange coincedence. :P).


Another is possibly more on the medical side, but i get tired really easily for some reason. And when i'm tired i get really different. I'm just not the person i want to be. I don't get grumpy or anything but i'm really unexcitable and quiet when i'm tired. So i sorta turn into sort of a space cadette. Lately i've been fighting through and things are okay. But this year has been full of days where i've just been too tired to bother with anything. Add that to the fact that my work is thoughtless labour, my brain hasn't been stimulated in a while, which affects your social life. It has stopped me from building the relationships i want to with a lot of good people because i've just been too lazy to keep the conversation moving, or have my normal state of mind of wittiness and just my general confident well-being. Instead i will be baggy eyed with a hunch. It sucks.

Wow, even i just learned something about myself then.

I want to boast about my strengths now. :crazy:

Nick, I can relate to the tired thing....I think for me a combination of lack of sleep, sitting in front of a computer all day at work, not always ending the right type of foods (for example, breads & some carbs make you tired or something)....

I'm also the same about not trusting the new person thing....although, if the person is really bubbly they can break it down....or if I'm drinking (can't beat those going off-topic drunken rants :lol: )

Totally same here actually. It's the same for me about the bubbly people thing. I get along with people who speak their mind and aren't quiet cos i know what they're thinking.

As for the the breads making you tired thing. Well fuck! No wonder! I work in a sandwhich factory, and basically live off sandwhiches these days. And when i think about it, i got these tired "problems" around when i started there! Plus yeah, i usually go to bed past midnight every night and sleep in til ridiculous hours. So that could contribute.

I'm a coleric. I have a slight obsessive compulsion disorder. I'm have very narcissistic tendencies. I lack self confidence. I'm poor at communicating with girls/I'm shy. Etc.

One of my biggest flaws is for the past 6 months or so I havn't been bothered doing anything. Friends will come round and say "You coming to the party?" and I'l be like "Nah, I would rather stay home" then in the morning I'm bored as hell and wish I went. Though that has been changing lately.

And another thing, I'm don't thing this counts as a flaw, but I always have bad luck. God knows why, I've givin up trying at most things, because while things are going goo, something bad happens. Also, everything of mine goes missing. It annoys me so much, I have to wait like 3 weeks to get my favorite boxers back from the washing machine, but even when I do check, they aren't there. Another thing is I'm always hurt. I consider myself to have a game very similar to Sam Cassell, but if I was a professional version of myself, I would turn out like Terrell Brandon. I seriously can't remember a day of basketball for the last year and a half that was completely pain free.

I agree Nick, lets start talking about our respective strengths, because this is getting too depressing....

that would probably be it....I was once told with my blood type (O positive or negative, whatever the most common one is), I should avoid certain types of carbohydrates like bread & potatoes because they make you drowsy or something....I don't heed to their advise as I eat sandwiches on most days at work & am tired between 1pm & 3pm....I'd prefer to get a siesta at work between those hours to tell you the truth :lol:

I'm like that too. I'm generally a shy/quiet person initially, but I really open up once I get to know someone. That's another one of my 'flaws' that I still struggle with at times with people in general.

I'm probably too much of an easy going person- when people or things bother me, I just let it go rather than confront them. It's not a bad thing really, but sometimes you gotta lay down the law.

Anyone else extremely lazy and a terrible procrastinator? This has been my problem all my life - I don't think I spent more than 20 minutes a week on schoolwork all throughout highschool, and now as a sophomore in college, I'm the same way but actually paying for it. Holding a 3.5 gpa in college is impossible if you don't go to class more than 50% of the time and don't study until the morning of your exams :|

My biggest weakness is cigarettes. I really have no desire to quit smoking, but I was doing a good job cutting back for awhile, now I'm back at about a pack a day. I love cigarettes so much, and I really don't think I want to quit, but I also don't want to be a heavy smoker for 20 more years and end up dying before I turn 45.
