GTKY: Fatal flaw

sara785

I think that term is from Shakespeare? Anyway, what's one characteristic you have that you either wish you didn't, or wish weren't such a prominent part of your personality?

Let's try to make it a positive thing... like I love puppies and rainbows too much.

I get too attached to people. And on the same note, I'm overly considerate. It's not obvious to others because I don't want to be a giant freak, but in my head I can be kind of stalker like if I think I can be good friends with someone. And then I refuse to let a relationship die if things change... currently going through this now with a "former" BFF.

I try to look at it as everyone loves to be loved. Mobile hearts and kisses.

ETA: I promise I'm not stalking any of you, but I do puffy heart you.

I don't believe in lying. That doesn't mean I have never lied, but 95% of the time I will tell the truth. There has been a number of people who don't take the truth very well and in the end I guess I've ended up "hurting their feeling". Or maybe I should just get better at sugar coating the truth. IDK.

One good thing about it is my friends think I'm funny because of it. I just come out and say thing other people don't. LOL I guess in the end the people that matter don't mind, and the people that mind don't matter!

This exactly.

I have a serious hoarding issue (well, serious to me). I keep EV-ER-Y-THING. I have clothes from high school and college that I just can't part with even though I haven't worn/fit into it for YEARS, I kept 75% of all school work from middle school through college (yep, just sittin in boxes), and lots and LOTS of random notes and such from friends from middle school through college. I also have a lot of toys from my childhood (although a lot of those will go to LO once old enough). I have a hard time getting rid of things because I may need it one day, or want to look at it from time to time. I've had to downsize twice since college and I cried each time. I have to do it again this spring. It is stressing me out!!

I cannot hold a grudge. It's absolutely impossible for me! I can be fuming mad at someone and the very next day I'm all puppies and rainbows. Typically it's a good thing to be able to forgive/forget... but I had an ex bf who totally took advantage.

I talk way too much.  My Dad used to say: "I love you, and to me you are darn near perfect . . . but you talk more, than anyone I have ever met".  My Mom has said that I could "Peel off the wallpaper" so that it can get away from me.  

Yeah.it's.that.bad.

BUT!  For as much as I talk - I also listen!  So I'm really good at keeping conversations going, and yet be there for anyone who needs a shoulder

I'm really bad at taking criticism... always was, and with a baby it's worse, anytime anyone makes a comment about how I do something I feel they are criticising my parenting and get mad.

I can be incredibly indecisive. Big decisions, small decisions, doesn't matter. I sometimes have trouble choosing food off a menu. I worry that I'll make the wrong choice and really regret it.
