I'd like to know your flaws!
37 Answers
Reading through AB posts I often feel like I must be the only person on AB who has, or at least percieves themselves as having, character flaws and bad habits. Everyone else seem to be perfect models of motherhood/fatherhood/sisterhood/brotherhood, always have great social lives, never let anyone down,be fit and healthy, always eat well, always do the right thing and just generally lead a life of perfection in their perfect worlds!
Now, while I don't doubt this is the case for the majority who will do me the honour of admitting 3 bad character traits they have? Things they wish they weren't or didn't do but can't help themselves sometimes?
I myself find it very difficult to apologise even when I know I should, I can be petulant and I am sometimes bolshy, oh and I eat junk food more often than can be good for me. All things that I am ashamed of (apart from the junk food, I just know I should eat far better) but part of me none the less!

I have strong opinions on things which I don't tend to make public because I worry that people either won't like me any more, or that it will cause an argument, which I hate. I'll keep quiet a lot to keep the peace. I drive myself mad doing that!
I hold grudges and don't forgive easily, no matter how much I tell myself I probably should.
Ooooh, I feel better for a bit of confession - thanks tiny!!

I'm a very jealous and paranoid person which i don't like, i am not fit and healthy, i am thin but i dont know how coz all i eat is junk. I aswell find it very hard to apologise because i never think im in the wrong i always have to be right that annoys me and others!! nobody is perfect, dont worry about it!!
I lack motivation (quite a lot)
I have a short fuse
I am not good at putting stuff away after I have used it.
I think that mainly people come over as perfect as we only share the good things that we do to pass those on as helpful to people. Whilst people sometimes look for someone to agree with their problem, mostly they are looking for a solution from someone who does something well.
If anyone wants to know how to lack motivation, lose their temper or not put stuff away, I am their man (or woman)!

1) Pride. (The worst of the lot of my bad character traits).
2) Stubborness/Pigheaded/Willful (Adjectives of that nature)
3) Distrustful.
I know what you mean by the perfection on this site, intimidating isn't it? So I'll add a few more...
Also, drink far too much red wine, I smoke, I can be moody, I'm lazy, I lack ambition, I'm easily distracted, I rarely loose my temper but by God when I do you'd better stand back, I've got an acidic tongue when I want to, I'm cocky, I can be rude, I'm judgemental,...
Is that enough for you tiny... I'm starting to wonder why I even have friends! ;0)
