Are you capable of admitting your flaws? How do you react when people call you out on them?

Question

FoxEyez · Accepted Answer

I'm as capable of admitting my flaws as Eminem. But will I is the real question. As someone who went through some things, I will admit, it became difficult for me to really open up to people. And I realized, that is a flaw. I used to be very insecure of my back because I have a pretty fuzzy back that makes me look like an electrocuted hamster each time I come out of the shower. But, the mind is a very powerful thing, if you let it, it can dictate your destiny. And so, from the moment I realized my flaw, I wore a pretty short shirt to defy my insecure thoughts. And when people call them out... I call their out too because they are just imperfect as I am. But I like to say I'm Perfectly Imperfect.

I'm definitely getting better at it. There was a time when I was reasonably defensive due to having lower self esteem. But when I had higher self esteem and confidence, I was more readily able to look at myself and self-reflect. I would say I'm quite good at it now, but there are still situations where I have to stop myself from being defensive.

I admit my flaws openly and accept my mistakes too but when a person who never completed college tells me I am illiterate and my brought up is flawed I best break up with them.
You know the paradox of the world. One person telling me how mature and handsome I am while my ex fiance told me during relationship that I am illiterate and narcissist and my parents brought me up civilized. Even though she didn't complete University I was okay with it, she lied about her degree, her parents kept saying how open minded they were but it was all just a lie. I am glad I am free of that relationship

A man isn’t a failure until he blames someone else.

I am very comfortable with constructive criticism and will openly admit my faults. Accountability is part of what separates a mature individual from a man child.

I will not however, tolerate being put down and ridiculed for the validation or benefit of someone else.

kylee2437 · Answer

Absolutely am capable. Reacting is a little different because I have adhd and I am rejective sensitive so sometimes I feel caught off guard and definitely have a hard time with constructive criticism but if I sit and think about the criticism, I absolutely have capability to take accountability towards that flaw

Sonorous · Answer

Depends on what it is & if I personally see it as a flaw as well. I tend to be reasonable when it comes to introspection so I'd admit it if I actually understood that had the flaw. Otherwise, there will be pushback. I'd just likely disagree with them & want them to give me more reasons that support their argument so that I may be more likely to agree.

I know each and every one of my flaws all too well.

If she has earned my trust, l will be honest with her. Yes. Her. Because in romantic relationships, I believe that it is in the best interest of both of us to be honest and not ruin anything with surprises. Plus, if the two of you are honest with each other then that allows both of you the time to decide if either of you can live with those flaws.

NathanDavis · Answer

well, yes... I am very much aware of them

and that is the very first step to better deal with flaws and shortcomings, areas of improvement...

and I usually point them out before I get called out for it... lol

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Most definitely.. I'm human, I see my flaws all the time, and would readily admit them if anybody pointed them out.. Even if I'm initially apprehensive about their analysis of me, I look to see if they are actually right..

Bethany22 · Answer

Depends on the person giving the critique. If they weren't all that wonderful in the same domain they were critiquing me on, then I would be flaming angry and resentful.

Kingofkings1992 · Answer

Yes, I am. None of us are perfect, and accept that I am no exception. It depends on how they go about pointing them out. If it’s constructive criticism that’s tailored to help me improve, I will respect it and thank them. If it’s a hostile personal attack, I will respond in the same manner.

DizzyDesii · Answer
