Trying to Get Pregnant

What is your biggest flaw? (GTKY)

Curious as to what you think your biggest character flaw is.

I have a hard time expressing my feelings when I'm upset. I get emotional easily, so I tend to keep things inside and sometimes expect people to know what I'm feeling.

Re: What is your biggest flaw? (GTKY)

  • I am a people pleaser.

    I have trouble deciding what I prefer for dinner most nights all because I would rather my DH get what he wants. while he is doing the same thing for me. Some nights we just eat chips and hummus, lol.

    I gossip a lot

    I have terrible road rage

    I curse way too much

     

    I agree. I sure do have more than one. The one that I mentioned is just the one that bothers me the most. But yes...many others. And among them, the first two that you mentioned are at the top of my flaw list as well. As well as being a terrible decision maker, holding grudges, and not calling family as often as I should.

  • Bad self image issues.. tend to think people are looking at me in disgust or talking badly about me. Perfectionist.

  • My biggest flaw would be a tie between the amount of crankiness I display (and can not fight) when I'm tired and/or hungry, and the fact that once I don't like someone, there is a very small chance I will ever give them another chance for me to like them. I'm an a$shole; at least I can admit that!

  • I'm too much of a perfectionist and an organizer.  So for an event such as family Thanksgiving I'll spend a month or two before hand planning every.little.detail.out.  Then I tend to get stressed out when other people don't pre-plan like I do.  (How am I supposed to know two weeks before Thanksgiving what I should bring to my Mom's house when my sister hasn't decided what time she's coming let alone what she's bringing.)  We've had some pretty funny - in hindsight anyway- family fights because my Dad & my one sister & I are all planners whereas my Mom, brother & other sister are all much more spontaneous.

  • I have control issues. If I feel like I'm not in control in some situations I start feeling very irritable and cranky.  This has gotten better after having a child because sometimes with a toddler you just aren't the one calling the shots. Lol

    I'm also a people pleaser and hate to make anyone mad at me. Which is ridiculous and I'm trying to get better at it.

  • I don't have a lot of self control. I'll tell myself not to do something and then I do it. I also don't have any patience.

    I am the same way, I worry way too much what people think, and agonize over the smallest action and worry that someone took it the wrong way or thought badly of it.  But I too got much more assertive when it came to my wedding....I didn't have a lot of push from people becauuse both my family and my inlaws (most of them) are great, but there was still stuff I made sure to do the way I wanted rather than cave because I thought someone else would do it differently.

  • I'm way too critical of myself. I tend to think that people are always judging me, especially when it comes to my looks. It was a long time before I could go to the gym without worrying that people would be disgusted with my physical appearance, and I'm still not totally over it. I'm also a terrible decision maker; everything from picking something on a menu to deciding what to wear, I agonize over every little option.

  • I am a planner so I get irritated if things don't go the way I envisioned. I also have a hard time with the whole "forgive and forget" concept. I don't forgive easily and I absolutely don't forget.

    THIS!! Im the same way! I can NEVER make up my mind on small details. AMEN for hearing there is more people out there and Im not the only one that cares to much what others think!

    I agree with both of these 100%. My family teases me over my planning and organization skills and call me Martha Stewart. Whhhatever Smile And same with the forgive and forget side of things...my MIL caused same major drama with our wedding and I am still having a really hard time "getting over" it and really don't enjoy being around her.

  • I don't stand up for myself enough and therefore often get walked all over.

    I am terribly shy. I suppose that goes hand in hand with the above comment.

    I over analyze pretty much everything in life.

  • I am the Master Procrastinator. I just can't help myself. I could have 3 weeks to do something (such as write progress notes) and I will wait til the very last second possible to do it with no good reason.

  • Wow- where do I even begin :)

    1. I care way too much about what other people think, but still always speak my mind.
    2. I overanalyze everything and constantly make a mountain out of a molehill in my head, but don't usually voice those thoughts for fear of #1 :)
    3. No self control and no patience.
    4. I tend to care way too much about other people and get hurt frequently because of it. Luckily I have an amazing DH and that's one of his favorite qualities about me.

  • I am too nice to people.  Even after I get mad (mostly at myself) because people don't appreciate the things I do, I keep doing it.

    I am very hard on myself.  I frequently don't understand why DH is with me.

    I am very impatient.

    I spend way too much money all the time on stuff I usually don't need but "have" to have.

  • I am impatient. I swear too much, especially the F word (I can't help it, my dad is a college football coach). I eat my feelings. I'm VERY impatient?

  • I have a hard time saying no, so I end up letting my coworkers/family take advantage of me.

    Also, I hate inconveniencing people, so I'm always hesitant to call people if I think they're busy. I would rather do something I'm not comfortable with rather than ask someone else to make things easier or change. 

     Oh, and I have to be perfect or die trying.  Surprise

  • I gossip way too much (can't keep a secret either)

    Way too sensitive.  I will over analyze everything anyone says to me.

    PTSD

    Really?  I wouldn't consider that a flaw. 

    I am really hard on myself about it.

    I had PTSD from a mall shooting I was involved in 5 years ago.  I needed meds for it.  Don't be ashamed.

    Intellectually I know that; the reality is I feel like a failure since I don't think what I went through warrants it. I was pretty much in denial about it for a few years until I sat down and looked over the list and realized 'Ah. I see. That would be me'. I am very fortunate to be with someone who is extremely understanding about it and for having a very limited trigger range.
