What is your biggest flaw?
 
If you don;t have a flaw, you're not human.

So, what is your flaw/s? Is it intentional? Do other people know about it? Is your entire life affected by that flaw/s?

I found out recently that I easily get bored with someone if they're not interesting enough. For example, I will ignore them completely, which I ahve done to members on this site.

Also, I have a tendency to um...how do I say it...be inconsiderate. Sometimes, no matter how horrible the thing may be, I just don't care/understand. Chances are if one of my friends committed suicide I wouldn't be affected. At all.

Procrastination!!

More than a flaw, it's a damned curse. I have a presentation due by Monday that I haven't started, a presentation along with three papers for Tuesday that I haven't started, 6 homework assignments online, and I'm taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test December 5th (LEVEL TWO! The second hardest one next to Level One!!) and I haven't started on ANY OF THIS.

Sweet Jesus, this is bad.

This. I'm a horrible procrastinator. I always get things done in the end, but usually at the expense of sleeping. So... in a way my entire life is affected by it, because I don't think I'll ever change, so I'll find myself tired quite a bit throughout life.

Khengi November 27th, 2010 5:47 PM

Yeah, I need to figure out how to stop it. It's like, I'm the guy who says, "I don't understand how people can be addicted to things", as I've never been addicted to something. I feel any mindset can be changed with enough willpower.

But no matter how many times I try, I procrastinate in the end at the expense of sleep and quality.

Ugh. :(

I have many flaws, but I suppose the one that impacts me the most is a crippling lack of self confidence. I can acknowledge I have it, but I still have to live with it...
I don't want to go into details about it, but lets say I have very little confidence when around people, performing on stage and stuff doesn't count. xP

ANARCHit3cht November 27th, 2010 6:48 PM

I would say that my biggest flaw is actually two things. They are kind of connected. I over analyze and I challenge everything. This leads me to rant about everything. I have an opinion, and in most cases, I demand to be heard. So much to the point, that I can feel it coursing through my veins.

EmeraldSerenade November 27th, 2010 6:48 PM

Self Confidence is definitely one of my biggest flaws..

I'm a bit introverted, so its really difficult for me to make friends in real life.. I find it hard to open up to people I'm not very fond with. I'm so concerned about what others think of me as well.

Sammi November 27th, 2010 6:57 PM

+1 for Procrastination. Long story short, I would be in a much better situation right now, I think, if I didn't put everything off until the last minute. @[email protected]

I also hate calling people over the phone. You might think this might not be a big flaw, but it's gotten me into some trouble before...

mikey November 27th, 2010 6:58 PM

My lack of self-confidence. This flaw of mine has affected my life in many ways, and I still have it :/

Know-Nothing Bozo the Non-Wonder Dog November 27th, 2010 7:04 PM

My biggest flaw would have to be how I tend to look down upon people who aren't as smart as me. It makes it really hard for me to make friends, because nobody around me seems very smart. I mean, they might be smart, but they don't show it and I have a hard time getting past that, even if they're incredibly nice and likable.

Dubstep November 27th, 2010 9:45 PM

I'm pretty childish. So sue me.

With a personality like that, do you resent people who are smarter than you?

Massacre. November 27th, 2010 10:33 PM

My temper and anger. I can't seem to handle one day without freaking out :o

Stellar November 27th, 2010 11:46 PM

So, what is your flaw/s?
I've got quite a few. I'm selfish, I hate being wrong, and I always feel as though I'm being slighted in every aspect of my life. I get myself to thinking that I deserve more than I already have, when deep down I know that's far from true. I'm incredibly lazy and dependent on those around me, but I've been devoting myself to changing that. I'm also clumsy both physically and with speech to the point where I find it easier to express myself through writing and drawing, but that's not so much a flaw as it is just a downside of being me.

Is it intentional?

Flaws are what make us human, but what makes us people is our ability to correct and make up for our shortcomings. So no, I'm not intentionally flawed and I can't see why someone would be.

Do other people know about it?

I'm sure they do, but not until after they've spent some time with me. All of my friends are fully aware of my flaws.

Is your entire life affected by that flaw/s?
To some degree, yeah, but that's why I'm working to change that. It's mainly my dependency on others that affects me, and if I can get that under control then I'll probably be much happier.

I have that exact same problem. :c

I can't speak for everyone with this problem, but I typically do resent people who are smarter than me. But this is only when said person shows off their intellect just because they can.


I can think of a ton of flaws that I have, but my worst one is my procrastination. I have stayed up until 2 in the morning for homework before.

Fever November 28th, 2010 2:21 AM

How do I put this.
I am, what is commonly referred to as, a narcissist.
I don't see it as a flaw, personally, although some may consider it to be.

I'm actually a really intelligent person, I have been professionally IQ tested (not just a rubbish internet one) and came out with an outstanding result. The problem is I have a tendency to make things more intelligent than other people can comprehend, I guess is how you would put it. It's not because they're stupid, it's more that I'm just smarter than they are. :/

There would be other things as well I suppose. I just have no desire to focus on my flaws. I tend to focus on the good things about myself. Self confidence is something that I am NOT lacking in.

PlatinumDude November 28th, 2010 5:41 AM

A flaw that I have is my lack of attentiveness as well as my arrogance. Usually, I don't mean to be any of those things, but it happens to me.

Nope, I actually like people who are smarter than me. (Most of the time, anyways. Unless, of course, they're the type to really point it out constantly and be annoying about it.)

mondays suck November 28th, 2010 8:19 AM

Like so many others, procrastination. Right now I'm sitting here, actually wanting to do my Biology presentation for Tuesday, but: First, I was like "what the hell, I don't understand a word of this" and then "meh, I'll just do something else (like browsing PC) first, maybe I'll understand this better in an hour...or two"
And, as I know myself, I'm probably going to finish my presentation on Monday evening.
Oh, and did I mention I have to do a presentation for French as well and haven't even started on it? Yes, procrastination is really, really bad.

iRyu November 28th, 2010 8:26 AM

Hmm, my biggest flaw is that I always help out. At a recent event I worked, My shift was from 9:30-1:30. I worked 7 AM to 8PM doing other's jobs so they could sit and talk with each other, while I got everything done.

RYOUKI November 28th, 2010 8:28 AM

My biggest flaw is that... I'm really unfriendly. SERIOUSLY. My default face is annoyed face, and when people try to get too friendly with me, it'll turn into a stfu face. I've been like this since I don't know when though. My friend says when he first met me, he though I was a gangster.

Next one is I'm highly unmotivated. I would be motivated and going to be like 'I can do this!" and losing my resolve in 5 minutes. SO yeah, I'm hopeless and don't care about anything. Definitely a flaw.

The Corrupt Plague November 28th, 2010 9:17 AM

My biggest flaw is that IRL, it is very difficult for me to hold a normal conversation and get to know people on a personal basis. Not only that, but because of that weakness, I have isolated myself for way too long and it has only been fairly recently that I was able to man up and at least try to make an effort to do so online. I admit, it's much easier when I'm behind a screen name, but it's still next to impossible when it's face to face and I have to wait until I am spoken to first, which is not often.

Captain Fabio November 28th, 2010 9:22 AM

If someone annoys me, I can snap at them pretty quickly.
I don't really have time for people who act stupid, attention seek or just look for pure attention, no matter what they do, all the time.

I guess they are my flaws.

Zeffy November 28th, 2010 8:31 PM

Like others, procrastination. Ugh, seriously. I always do my school stuff on the last minute...and it looks horrible when I rush it. u__u

Corvus of the Black Night November 29th, 2010 5:39 PM

My naive personality, most certainly. I tend to be overgenerous because of it, and people have manipulated me more than once because of it :/
