Self-criticism - what is your worst flaw?


Procrastination and self doubt. I have the brains and the potential to do far more then I'm doing (and have been told as much by many people) but I doubt myself and I have an issue where my brain and thoughts go faster then my ability to acquire a skill making me far more likely to abandon projects and goals before I can actually master them and gain the skills required to see my vision through. That is in fact what fuels the procrastination because dreaming is easier then doing and I know that their will be much failure and time I have to waste learning the basics before I can get to the things I actually want to do, so I stall and procrastinate.
Not my only flaw, but one of the biggest ones I need to overcome.
That I am too nice to people and sugarcoat things too much. I need to quit treating people with kid gloves and really just tell them how it is. If they are messed up I need to just be completely blunt about them being messed up and not care if I hurt their feelings.
Being an INFP-T personality, having anxiety and weird depressive episodes but it’s because of my personality type that I created strong bonds with certain people and animals and when I am alone I either cry, hate myself or feel abandoned even if I’m not (I’m not a clingy person by nature nor am I a big social butterfly) but it’s hard when I’m such an idealistic person ( A trait also carried by my personality type) and have been for years on end, I don’t think it’s really possible to change anymore without ruining myself or hurting others around me.
That I give good advice, but forget to always follow it myself..
That after so long of talking care of others, putting everyone else first, I forget to take care of myself...
I met a lady at the post office. She is a nurse and will be retiring in one year. She said once she retires she is getting rid of all her pets. She spent her life taking care of her husband who has now passed away. She also has been taking care of her pets, one of which has diabetes. She said she has spent her life taking care of others and neglected to take care of herself.
@Cathy7734 yeah that's me, minus the pets
@Cathy7734 mine was and passed almost 8 years ago

My worst flaw is I have a negative attitude about relationships and that's why I don't have any relationships, with the exception of my dog. It seems to me that most everyone is so self-absorbed and self-centered that they can't see beyond their nose unless they want something from you. I have a bunch more negative attitudes about relationships too. I wish I wasn't this way. I won't go out on Friday night because I don't want my dog to spend all that time alone in the house.
I've been hurt a lot and was also in a long term abusive relationship. The hardest thing I'm working on is enforcing boundaries and also not thinking everything is a red flag. Oh also communication.. I've been led to believe speaking about feelings or enforcing your boundaries etc will cause friction
Worst flaw- I’m quite extreme with everything
Say if I have a goal I tend to take things too far to the point it goes out of hand, health eating? Hell yes, staying hard? The harder the better. But to the point it is harmful
Like an all or nothing personality trait and if I have a new hobby I jusp from hobby to hobby too
Flaws... quite a philosophical topic you've got here. What makes a flaw a flaw which in fact may only need some training and a small bit of direction?
Well, not working enough, lagging behind with tasks, not properly repay the trust and expectations people placed in you, are flaws I put under self-rectification
I don't take shit from anyone. A no BS & no drama type of person. I can easily cut off people and not care. Thing is I can be super sweet, kind and lovely but one step over my boundaries & I become someone not meant to be messed with.
Who is the woman in the picture? I've seen her all over the place, I keep coming across her image.
I admit don't know. She pops up in a lot of stock images and in different roles, she must be someone who makes her living with stock images, a bit like the Harold guy or Mark Holmberg.
I don't know when to give up. And when it's too late, I get trapped in the mindset of winning it all back with one masterstroke, which sadly and logically never happens - either the masterstroke or the quantum of win falls short.
Lack of confidence within myself and I can't say the words I want to say when I'm under pressure. My social anxiety is tending to act up in big functions or potentially when I try go on a date. Then dealing with ADD on top of that is a problem that I have to deal with daily
Accidentally interrupting people when they talk and shyness (I'm not too shy. I can still talk to people). Some other flaws of mine include sometimes being pessimistic and being too anxious at times
I think I have a problem isolating myself too much/ignoring others. It's even been a problem long long before covid
Procrastinating and being a hot head. I also tend to assume the worse and let anxiety thoughts consume me. Can’t stop it, it feels comfortable now.
I'm a massive procrastinator. I live everything until the last second. I'm the guy defusing the bomb in movies. And sometimes the bomb goes off.
I get choosy when it comes to talking to people despite being a social butterfly. That’s because I’m a straightforward person. When someone I don’t like talks to me, I directly say “Please leave me alone!”.
I tend towards procrastination and get paralysed by decisions sometimes. It's been better the past year, but it's not a positive thing to deal with
my worst flaw has to be that a couple of them can get together, combine and make it all worse... lol
I'm very hot headed my mouth gets me into a lot of trouble at times
@Cathy7734 Probably sometimes but certainly doesn't outweigh the problems it causes i'm working on myself
@Cathy7734 I suck dick don't act a dick
I'm a very controlling and impatient to the point if things don't work out on my terms. The person in front of me is dead. *just kidding*
I don't know people have often told me I'm too "adventerous" well the use mpre vulgar terms. But I don't think it's a flaw just pleople tell me it's a flaw
Physically: My height/shortness.
Mentally (according to others): I am "too hard on myself;" as in, I lack high confidence.
I'm addicted to nicotine and I rationalize my addiction.
@Cathy7734 By attempting to make reality fit my addiction-based emotions when the withdrawal kicks in.
Anger issues, I once gave a boy a black eye for shoving my brother (yes just shoving ) I was 13 LOL, My brother also has anger issues, He punchs a punching bag in the garage to calm down.
Impatience, and asking too many questions too fast.
My worst flaw is that I have way too many flaws. My face, my brain, my intelligence, my multiple mental disorders, my face, I'm not likeable, I'm incapable of love or being loved, my ugly face. Just so many flaws.
I overthink all the time. Since I can see all the possibilities of the outcomes it puts my brain in state of overuse and I occasionally have trouble making decisions
I intellectuallize everything instead of acting on emotion. Some women don’t like that at all and it has cost me more than 1 relationship. That’s ok-who needs the drama?
Too slow of a person. Slow learner. Slow-paced.
My attention to detail has also left much to be desired.
I'm a failure as a human.
Inanimate objects hate me.
I don't like my lips but I won't be getting lip injections as I'm against plastic surgery.
Fuck off asshole.
Attacking people asking me to self criticize.
I get overwhelmed quickly
Sometimes I can’t stay focused or sit still to save my life
My Indecisiveness and lack of tolerance
Just like MJ (Jordan by the way), I often take things personally
I really do not know it all.
I have a short temper.
My worst flaw is been merciless
