Time To Come Clean! What's Your Biggest Flaw?

Re: Time To Come Clean! What's Your Biggest Flaw?

Procrastination.

There's some other ones, but I'll put it off until later.

Well played lol

Biggest thing for me would be lack of given a crap about anything. I am a pretty easy going person and normally am not very "concerned". I am saying this based off what my girlfriend tells me :wink:

I also feel the need to impress people. i crave praise and applause for some odd reason but it is probably just a phase

Can't speak infront of an audience. Internet is so wonderful

I seem to notice things real easy. I literally almost feel if my bedroom is dirty from downstairs. If there is a movie on top of the T.V. it drives me nuts. I'm an Organizational freak.

I have far too many flaws to narrow it down to just one "biggest" flaw

Re: Time To Come Clean! What's Your Biggest Flaw?

I can't multi-task and this leads to ignoring the girlfriend mid-sentence and it's very noticeable.

However we both LOL

This. Dind't think of it at first, but it is really bad

Probably the fact that I dont think I have any big flaws

That would be called arrogance, my friend.

I am incredibly unathletic and have terrible upper body strength, yet have no desire to change this. My own fault. Oh well.

Re: Time To Come Clean! What's Your Biggest Flaw?

I don't speak up when something is wrong. I'm too laid back. I'll just sit back and say whatever or deal with it, I guess I don't want conflict and it is easier if I just let things go rather then bring something up.

I've been screwed over a lot of times at school or work and instead of confronting it I just let it slide. This isn't 100 percent of the time but far too much.

Just wanted to say that the last line on your signature makes no sense. That's some bad translation/bad grammar, trust me on that one.

Back to topic...

Re: Time To Come Clean! What's Your Biggest Flaw?

Like many others, when i'm not motivated, I really struggle to accomplish anything. I tend to do what I need to do at work without issue, but at home, especially when it comes time to clean, I just sit around thinking that it can wait. Because of this, our house isn't the cleanest, and my truck is a pigsty.

My worst flaw however is feeling like, no matter how happy I am or how hard I try and just relax, I ALWAYS feel like I am stressed about something. Be it bills, things needing to get done around the house, etc. I hate it, because I always really look forward to getting out of work and doing something fun/productive, but as soon as I get home, I get this lingering sense of stress over basically nothing. Honestly, it's usually a financial issue, like trying to figure out exactly how much money we will have at the end of each month. Something stupid like that will ruin my day.

I also have a strange problem with getting extremely amped up about things such as movies or games, and then once they hit, I feel "empty" I guess you could say. They don't run my life at all, but usually i'll be looking forward to something for a long time, and once I have it, i'll just have this feeling of boredom or lack of interest with everything else. I really don't know why, and after a few weeks, it goes away. Strange, I know, as I look at games and movies as purely entertainment and they are rather unimportant, but nevertheless, I still have that problem.

I see a lot of people put procrastination, but honestly what I wouldn't give to be a "procrastinator" because that would imply I eventually get whatever it is I needed to do done

instead I have a serious motivation (and concentration) issue where I just don't see a point in doing pretty much anything, even if I "have" to do it. For my entire life I've just cruised by without any real effort, to the point where doing the bare minimum to get by is my standard (to put this in perspective, I got a B- in one of my classes this semester. The maximum grade I could have gotten was an 82 because of 18 points lost off my final grade from zeros on stuff I didn't bother doing)*. I wish this wasnt the case, but it is. I can't do anything to help myself because I just can't muster up the motivation (and hell, even when I really want to I still can't bring myself to do whatever it is I need to do). However if someone else needs my help that's all the motivation I need. If i'm working on a group, or they need help studying, I'll be the most motivated person in the world and help them, even if its putting my own needs second (which is strange considering I generally dont like people and couldn't give a crap about them lol)

if I were to analyze my behavior, i'd say that I don't feel like I need to prove anything to myself, but at the same time I feel like I need to prove something to others... like I need to show them that I'm better than them by helping them on things they try hard at, while I just breeze through w/out giving two ****s (I know, thats screwed up lol)... that by itself seems to be a pretty big character flaw

I think the worst part that is that back in high school (and before), I just didn't care. But now that I have worked on becoming a better person and am trying to be more self aware, I know this problem exists, but I still can't do anything about it. Even things that I have to do, that I really really want to do, I just can't bring myself to do them. Outside of a few specific passions where I can focus on for way too long, nothing else motivates me to get stuff done.

I'm still in college, so up until this point in my life this issue hasn't come back to bite me too much. I got ****ty grades in school, but still good enough to get by and get into a college. Since colleges (at least my undergrad) rely less on outside work, and primarily on tests that are a large chunk of your grade, I have far superior grades in college than I ever did in HS. But nevertheless, this has been an issue that has caused problems my entire life, and the closer I get to the "real world" the more it scares and worries me. The thought of having to go to a job and being expected to actually do stuff for decades to come scares the **** out of me because I know that I can't do it. Yeah, ive been able to do 16 years of schooling, because for the most part all I had to do was show up, listen a little (which I am fine with) and then take some tests. All that stuff is easy to do. Its when someone asks me to actually do something with that knowledge that I lose all motivation. And not because I can't, but because I don't want to (it is more complex than that... almost like a physical and mental block where I literally can't even force myself to do stuff I deem "stupid"... which sadly most things lol)

I also think it has to do with, as I mentioned before, my habit of feeling superior to other people (and I hate arrogant ppl too, I guess thats irony for you... at least I try not to show mine!). I don't like being forced or told to do things. For instance, I had no problem writing this post. However had a moderator put this thread on the front page and said, "Everyone must reply to this thread, any who don't in 7 days will be banned," I guarantee you I would be banned in a week. I wouldn't want to be banned, but I guarantee i'd get this physical/mental "block" where I just couldn't bring myself to post here, no matter how much I wanted to... And honestly that sucks.

so I consider you procrastinators lucky, man I'd love to be one of you!

*to give a little more perspective of what I'm talking about, my Freshman year of HS I got an award at the end of year for getting the highest grade on the statewide honors math test among Freshman and Sophomores in our district... what they didn't say was that I was also kicked out of the honors class and demoted the following year because I didn't do jack in class and got straight D's

Yes! This is my flaw as well. I have to be organized all the time.

If my wife opens the microwave before the timer goes off, I MUST go over and reset the microwave to show the time.

I have to do the dishes right after the meal. I can't just let them sit in the sink.

My son has several toys that have many pieces to it. At the end of the night i MUST find every single piece to have peace of mind.

Clothes on the floor is a no no.
