What's your biggest flaw?

Not a body flaw (because we all have those and don’t want to talk about them), but your biggest personality flaw? Something you do that either drives other people crazy, or that will sometimes drive YOU crazy.

 

My biggest flaw is being a planner. I know that sounds like a good thing, but it isn’t. I over plan weekends when I am supposed to be relaxing with family, over plan things to do on vacations/trips and end up not enjoying it because I have too much going on, I even over plan to the point that even though my schedule is packed, I never do anything for myself. I do things to please OTHER people, but not anything that makes me really happy. I think I need to back up and allow my spontaneous fiancé to call the shots.

Procrastination. If I can put it off until another time, I will and then... I get hit with a thousand things to deal with at once. I tell myself all the time to just do whatever it is and get it out of the way, but then something else comes along that looks so much more fun!

Same as @Sherby613. I hate it but yet I work my best under the stress of last minute deadlines.

I can get flustered and insecure when traveling. For instance, I annoy my husband because I get nervous about being prepared in the TSA line. And God forbid if I have to prepare in an international security line. I think it's a fear of authority and a fear of doing something wrong in public.

Ugh!! I am exactly like you @lgsdesigner!! I think it has something to do with being a perfectionist... it may be why we make good designers, you need to have an eye for detail. One of my clients nicknamed me pixel perfectionist. When we go on trips, we always have an itinerary and I used to get annoyed when we strayed, but I think the older I get, I'm learning to let go and relax more... babies need relaxed environments, so I've been working hard on that one!

Poor memory! I'm super forgetful lately, I'm driving myself crazy. I used to think I had a pretty good memory, now it's like a wet sponge. Nothing goings in, only stuff falling out.

Lack of patience, which I think is related to my pretty short attention span.  If I'm ever successful at conceiving, I imagine a child should provide some olympic-level training in patience skills...

I always seem to run late! And then it gives me anxiety! Or better yet, I give myself anxiety by thinking that I don't have enough time and I have all these things to do! I can drive myself crazy! It's a sickness!! lol

I'm late a lot. I always say I was one day early for my birth and I've been late to everything else since. I'm definitely getting better thanks to my punctual husband. I'm also an intellectual snob. Stupidity and ignorance irritate the heck out of me.

I interject when someone pauses in conversation looking for the right word. I hate that I do that. I even find myself doing it when I wasn't even part of the conversation.

I am also an impatient person. I am generally calm, but road rage is my downfall. I can't stand slow/distracted/horrible drivers!

I also am late to things I don't feel like attending...like work. Not by a lot, but about 3-4 minutes late. 

If I am happy to be attending something, I am always on time or early, though.

Lately, I'm easily annoyed and I feel cranky far too often. I'm usually in pain, which frays my patience, then DH starts slurping soup at top volume or my bus is late and I just feel overwhelmed with irritation. I wish I could be more zen.
