What is the biggest sign of weakness in a person?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

There are hundreds of signs of weakness and EVERY ONE OF YOU on here on GAG has at least a couple of them.

I was bullied ruthlessly when I was in grade school, some in middle school and sporadically in high school. Being a chubby, semi ginger kid who was very sensitive didn't help. However, when I got in high school I focused on school and took up challenging sports (wrestling, long distance running). I got a partial scholarship in college for my academics and also did club wrestling. I later became a pro mma fighter. Nowadays I make a 6 figure income, drive a nice car, travel and own real estate.

If I had a the choice to be a fat ass, making less than half I make now but happened to be fast on my feet verbally... I would still take what I got now. Overall I get more respect than insecure bullies whollistically. I probably have banged more hot girls in college/post college than they could ever dream of.

I guess the greatest sense of weakness is attacking others out of your own insecurity

victim mentality, entitlement, lack of morals and have little to no desire to grow in wisdom because they think they already know everything... someone who thinks everyone should do everything they say and if people don't then they go crazy... little to no love for others, little to no self control, little to no self discipline, and no respect for themselves, attention whores who just think they should be worshipped and eveyrone else but them matter.

Quick anger reaction or snap , quick to avoid something that is widely known to be a phobic for some people, reaction to doing something new or stepping in a different environment/out of comfort zone and unusual body language or movements that were seen on him/her before or that are unknown on most calm minded people.

looking for weakness in others instead to fulfill false pointless often dangerous sense of superiority, instead of recognizing we are all fallible and working with others haring your strengths , working on your own weakness, genuinely committing yourself to help make the world better place for all.

Logorithim · Answer

For me, it is how they deal with a tough situation- do they handle it calmly or poorly, (e. g., not even trying to solve things, getting very angry)?

jennifer_bloom · Answer

For me its when you misunderstand somebody else and think you know them better then than do - I know people who do this all the time and I know people who never do this

Bjorn526 · Answer

The biggest sign? Like what is the biggest red flag you could look out for, that shows weakness? (I think I may be interpreting this differently than others). I think weakness can be a moment in time and temporary, or it can some character that a person can’t ever separate from, the scary thing is the temporary moment of weakness can often be the bigger problem, depending on the consequences.
I think the most common weakness stems from insecurities combined with coping with them, by allowing/depending on others to pay for them, due to the fact a person won’t address them or be honest with others, survive by manipulating others is one example. There are so many people who do that, a large percentage of the population, that I think it’s the biggest example to look at, and notice as it affects everyone directly or indirectly. Just look for someone who doesn’t mind pushing burdens on others as the only way they maintain themselves

Pride. Nothing good has ever come from things like pride and ego. They only serve to provide you with false self satisfaction and when they are trampled on, you come crashing down to the ground hard and you begin to realise how mentally weak you really are by holding onto such a useless mentality.

InfoBot · Answer

When they have no concept of their weaknesses. That means that they've never had them found out and never had to work on them. When that weakness is found, and everyone has at least one, they'll have no defence.

This is why MMA fighters train in multiple disciplines, but this applies to mentality as well as physicality. An astute strategist can find that weakness and blow a hole in it.

Rubyrose1 · Answer

Cowardice - for me at least people should not back down from what they believe in (good things), or from trying to be heard ir taking a risk for the right reasons just because there scared it won't end wend well life is filled w hardships but running away from things is weak in my book (keep in mind that u should not fight EVERY fight chose ur battles wisley)

DumbandDumbber · Answer

For me it's being a sheep instead of a wolf. As in people do things for others (they wanna be perceived a certain way, they wanna be accepted and do stuff just because others do it too) instead of living life how they want while not giving any shit about how anyone else wants them to be.

Tephra · Answer

Body language is key to determining whether you own yourself or letting others own you. For instance; little eye contact (i. e. looking down at the ground) is a massive sign of weakness. Weakness I'm assuming means for you is that they don't have a back-bone for themselves. Also slouched over, pleasing others and doing things for others but not yourself is also a good indicator your weak. You live to please others but not yourself

JayParris · Answer

I define weakness as the inability to keep your cool under stress. Road rage? Weak. Can't handle criticism? Weak. Can't admit you're wrong? Weak. If you flip out over stupid shit and throw a tantrum when you don't get your way or someone disagrees with you, you're weak as hell.

NineBreaker · Answer

Arrogance. Someone who is modest can acknowledge their weaknesses and address them, which helps this individual grow and become stronger. If you sincerely believe that you can do no wrong, you will not acknowledge the shortcomings you need to improve on.

chriscdi · Answer

I dont really believe in weakness like that cause i think everyone has some kind of strength that they either haven't discovered or they dont use it, lets say for example if a nice guy gets caught in a shootout and there's a gun on the floor, you must believe he will pick it up and try to get himself out of that situation

Mental weakness such as anxiety, insecurities, etc. I've seen plenty of people with bone skinny bodies no strength at all but they were super confident and charismatic that they controlled everyone. But at the same time I have seen huge dudes 6ft+ 250 pound men who acted insecure and they were seen as weak.
