GTKY: worst quality

MissDemeanor · June 2014

What do you think your worst habit or quality is? What, if anything, do you hope to do about it?

MissDemeanor · June 2014

I talk too much. Like, all.the.time. And worse, I interrupt. I'm working on listening more, but it seems like since I started SAH I'm even worse.

lol your siggy is killin me @missdemeanor

Codypup · June 2014

I suck at listening sometimes, too. I feel like people talk too slowly and I try to hurry their thought process along, which is probably really, really annoying.

I've gotten better at this, but a lot of times I also try to pass the buck instead of owning up to my own mistakes. Like, yeah I know I messed up, but let me tell YOU what YOU did to MAKE me mess up. etc etc. It's gotten a lot better, but I can still fall into that.

I think I'm always right

I've gotten better about it with age and really try to tell other people 'that's a great idea' or ask them what they think.

I think we are the same person

I'm stubborn as all hell. And when it comes to my kids I think my way is the only way.

I'm a total know-it-all. I always have to correct someone when they say something that isn't true, or something ambiguous.

Someone could be like, "You know, I read an article that says you sleep better if you don't watch TV in bed," and instead of just saying, "How interesting!" like a normal person in a cocktail party conversation, I have to be like, "Actually, I don't really think that's true. How could they control for all the variables that predict sleep? Did the researchers have an adequate sample size? Is this anecdotal evidence?" on and on.

I should do exposure therapy like Sheldon on Big Bang Theory, but for me it would be where people say incorrect things ("Tulsa is the capital of Oklahoma!") and I have to just sit there and say, "How interesting!"

I can be kind of a negative person.

This.

I am guilty of many of these.

I am a picker/scratcher. As in scabs don't last long. (Nasty, I know).

I'm a horrible procrastinator... Was actually voted 'biggest procrastinator' of my senior class 11 years ago. I've only marginally improved.

I don't like to be wrong... And hate having to admit it.

The only thing I have finally gotten better at is biting my nails. I finally quit that about 4 or 5 years ago.

I think the worst about every situation, I read into peoples words and actions too closely and imagine the worst outcome almost all the time, which in turn gives me anxiety about things that probably will never happen.

SuzyQq02 · June 2014

I'm a know it all. I don't MEAN to be, I swear, but when I know something I can't help myself from putting it out there. I've been told it's incredibly annoying. ;-)

tenfour · June 2014

It's hard to pick just one. HA!

Right now it's my anxiety. I'm stressing hardcore about the baby and driving everyone nuts.

mlynn333 · June 2014

I'm really hard on myself, and I always assume that people think the worst of me.

irisheyez123 · June 2014

1- I procrastinate a lot

2- I start things but if I don't finish them that same day they will probably sit for a long time.

3- I'm kind of lazy. People always tell me I do a lot but I know my capabilities & know I really don't do as much as I could/should.

I doubt and underestimate myself ALL THE TIME. Even when I know better. I've tried very hard to make sure my kids don't feel like that.

I don't know how to make lines bold on a phone but I've said the same about my kids. I don't want them to lack confidence or anything. I promised myself I'd do my best to make them confident in who they are & their abilities.

I am like this too.

This is me too! I hear myself doing it and I know I shouldn't but I just can't stop.

This is me too. I am my worst critic!!

JordyInIndy · June 2014

I'm really bad at facing problems in the face. Like if I completely ignore it maybe it will just go away or take care of itself.

The bad thing about that one is it actually works sometimes. (Bad as in would make it harder to overcome at times)

Metreky21 · June 2014

I'm too introverted. I can go days/weeks without talking to anyone but DH and I'm fine with it.

I also think things through far too much instead of just doing them. And this also leads to thinking that my way is the best way so everyone else is doing it wrong.

That last part is probably the main thing DH and I fight about but it's been getting better.

Eta: but seriously DH! Wipe off the damn countertops and sink and empty the catch into the disposal when you finish the dishes!!!!! Lordy!

1. I can be a procrastinator 2. I am terribly self-conscious 3. I have control issues, especially when it comes to how my home is run. Right after LO was born my MIL very thoughtfully rearranged my kitchen (!!!!!) while I was napping. I managed to not say anything, but DH said he actually saw me short circuit.

@Sakura0019 I don't blame you for this. Thoughtful is emptying your dishwasher. Rearranging your kitchen is rude and overstepping. My MIL did this 5 years ago and I'm still pissed

Oh also this is a positive turned negative. I'm a big, huge, planner. If my plans get changed, I used to flip my lid. Luckily I've worked on. I still get pissed, but then learn to let it go.

This is me as well.
