    What are some of your flaws? No one is flawless, we all have flaws in our personalities, and whatnot.
     
    I am comically bad at not finishing things, so much in fact it has been my goal this year to stick with things (hence why I am still learning Japanese and trying to do it every day and get better at it).
     
    I don't like admitting when I'm wrong, but over the years (especially at work) I learned that I had to just admit and move on. lol

    It was just part of my insecurities.

    Another flaw is that I'm sometimes also scared of failing so I don't even try at some things. That's also getting better over time, though.

    On the flip side, I can sometimes be overly confident in general? Whoops.
     
    i don't have a cowboy hat from gucci
     
    bit too non-confrontational. wish i had the courage to deal with my people problems instead of ignoring them or letting them fester
     
    in all seriousness tho i'm w alex on that one. i could solve like 90% of my problems if i didn't fear rocking the boat or confronting people. my confidence in general is like -7 irl. lol i've had my nature set to timid since i joined pc in 08 and it holds true. it me
     
    I go far out of my way to be a people pleaser and tend to go above and beyond to avoid conflict. I hate being the center of attention, especially negative attention, so I'll do almost everything in my power to keep the peace - even at my own expense and even if I'm not involved in the fight.

    Conversely, I care a lot about what other people think of me for someone who doesn't want attention. :/ I don't get how it works either but approval is something that matters to me.

    I'm also painfully indecisive. Making and sticking to my word is something I struggle with because I always try to be adaptable and flexible for other people. Obviously I do have hard limits when it comes to some topics, but in an effort to be open minded I often find myself paralyzed in analysis.
     
    I sometimes express anger or give a stern face whenever someone doesn't respond back to me when I talk with them, or they think that I was finished talking to them, when I didn't think so.

    I am also confrontational whenever I ask for something and in return I don't get what I wanted. Of course gifts are an exception to this, but things like incorrect orders on food are what set me off in that manner
     
    Most of my issues stem from being an overly emotional procrastinator :)
     
    does my anxiety count

    I'm definitely timid and non-confrontational when I should speak up for myself. Then again, considering how I act out in my brain sometimes... I would probably go too hard the other direction if I did ever speak up, whoops.

    I procrastinate to hell and back but considering my sister and her son have ADHD and some of the symptoms hit too close to home, I'm starting to wonder if procrastination is a personality flaw or possibly mental illness related.
    On that note it's time to do some dishes

    Edit: let it be known that unlike the last time I said I'd do something on PC, I actually washed my dishes :P

    I'm very much a pushover and find it hard to stand up for myself. Several friends at work have tried to push me to speak out when a certain supervisor was not treating me fairly (happened several times over the course of two+ years), and in the end I never did hoping it would just pass. I hate being confrontational and putting myself in awkward spots.

    Also want to say I am quite introverted and don't enjoy socializing too much irl, but I wouldn't call that a flaw per se. Fine for people to have varying levels of desire to socialize. I just don't happen to have much of it, and love being alone.
     
    I can be quite paranoid at times and bad at dealing with pressure. I tried to work on the former by trusting my own intuition less, that might sound like a bad thing but when you usually assume the worst it really isn't.
     
    I overthink things a lot and make situations much more complicated than they should be. I also have a strong fear of failure and letting down other people which can be restrictive, and is something which I absolutely need to get over as it causes a lot of unnecessary stress. Another issue I guess is grudges - sometimes I just need to let it go but if I develop a grudge, it usually stays for a while.
     
    I tend to criticize myself and overthink things a lot. Nothing wrong with pointing out flaws within reason, but I sometimes look back on the stupiest things on beat myself up over it (not literally beat myself up). On the overthinking point, I tend to have a hard time telling some people (espically relatives) about some things because I keep thinking about the bad things that could happen instead of reasoning things out.
