Name your faults

[DianaBanana]

What's your worst fault?

My worst is that I have a tendency to say things I shouldnt and then later regret saying them.

I r dumb. :P

[Czeska]

If I could pick one fault and change it, I'd say it would be my tendency to procrastinate.
More on that later.

[fallenSaint]

My worst fault would be the fact that Im an asshole, but I like that fault so very much it gives me joy.

[AnticorRifling]

I'm a workaholic. I will take work over just about any other activity that can fill my time. I don't know why but I feel like if I'm not working I'm slacking and I have some big goals I want to hit. It pisses off my family and my wife because I'm constantly working late but my defense is this; I'm young, able bodied and full of energy I can work my ass off now and when I'm 45 (that's like forever from now) I can sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor. I want to sweat today to play tomorrow. Sure it's good but I don't even my work time out with my family/wife time. I'm working on it though because I don't need to distance myself from the one person that is the reason I'm busting my ass. I would gladly work 18 hours a day if it meant she could pursue her dreams(mine are dead since I messed my foot up and can't re-enlist so I might as well give someone a chance to have theirs.)

[Czeska]

Just consider balancing all that work with living your life now, in case now is all you have.

[Myshel]

Procastination is number 1 for me. My brother once brought me a wall hanging for my office that read..

If it wasn't for the last minute, a lot of things wouldn't get done.

Right now I"m wasting time on line when I need to clean house, pay bills, do laundry and read 4 chapters for class tomorrow. (Yes I'm back in school, groan..) I also have desserts to make for the restaurant for the weekend. BUT I do work well under pressure and will fly in and get most of it done before my 8-5 class tomorrow.

[Miss X]

I am far to paranoid, I constantly worry about people hating me and I sometimes hold back on saying what I really think in case it upsets someone, even if I don't like the person. Sometimes I wish I could be more up front. I'm not very thick skinned either, small things upset me and I think I expect too much affection and reassurance from others about myself.

Also, I am really lazy and put everything off. When I was doing my degree I did every essay the night before it was due in and I did my final project a week before it had to be sent to external moderators. I never pay bills or fill in forms on time, I'm lucky I have organised people in my life to sort me out! Hehe

[Artha]

Far too cynical.

[DeV]

My biggest fault: Not being able to accept the fact that I have faults. :smug:
/just-kidding

I'm far too pessimistic.

[Chadj]

I have no faults.

[Izadriel]

Realizing there is a fine line between sarcasm and being an ass. :smilegrin:

[DCSL]

I don't know how I'd decide which fault is my biggest. I mean.. there are different kinds of bad habit. Ones that are detrimental to yourself and some that are irritating to others.

From those two categories... I'd have to say, for myself, my worst habit is being so easily irritated and/or enraged over a select set of things (I don't get angry at everything, thankfully.) I think it's been mentioned that I'm overbearing, so that'd be it for the other one.

[Blazing247]

I have a very short atten.....

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I have a lot of faults, though one that annoys me most is that I'm a perfectionist, in the sense that sometimes I'll let perfect get in the way of good enough. Or I'll procrastinate doing something until I have every little piece of whatever I need to do it, in place prior to it.

I'd also so I can procrastinate, I'm critical, opinionated, self deprecating, superficial and egotistical. Just depends on the situation as far as which I'd say is my greatest fault.

[Wolfmage]

Well, let's see. My greatest fault is also one of my greatest strengths. I am constantly worrying about and thinking of others. It's great because people realize after a while of knowing me that I really do care about them. It's bad, because it's easily exploited. I have in the past, as well as present, allowed others to walk all over me in the name of being a 'good friend'. There's some others, but that's a biggie right there...

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Nothing wrong or faulty, in my mind, about caring/helping others. People will and do take advantage of it. That happens, but you can go to bed each night knowing you tried to help. The opportunity to help our fellow man (in the unisex sense) far outweighs the disadvantage of the few who will take advantage of it.

I'm wayyy too stubborn. If I say I'll do something then chances are I'll do it hell or high water. Its good for some things and bad for others. For instance:

When I was maybe 10 years old I went to some church summer camp in Tower Hill, Michigan right outside of bridgeport and my Aunt was spending the week up there for her vacation and I had told her that I would drive back with her instead of going back with the camp. Well anyway, some shit happened and they decided to send everyone back early. I said I wouldn't go unless I got to tell my aunt what had happened because I didn't want her waiting\wondering\w\e about me. Well, she wasn't there and they tried to make me go anyway. I physically fought the 20 year old camp counselor for 4 hours until he finally said fuck it and let me stay. (It was like wrestling, dragging. If he wanted to punch me in the face I probaly woulda been fucked)

My other one is my apathy. Some times I get in these moods where I seriously just don't give a fuck about anything. Its been hard to keep these under control when I've been doing the school\military thing.

[Snapp]

I have a couple that bother me. I'm too nice.. like Chica, I constantly worry about offending others, but I can definitely say I'm getting a lot better and speaking my mind more.

I'm also a workaholic. I probably have more loyalty to my company and job than almost anyone else who works there. I really don't even know why, as they really don't appreciate it (which is why it's a fault). I put in way too much over-time (which I don't get paid for, as we are salary) and stress out way too often. That's the next thing I'm gonna work on.. because life should be about living, not working. ;)

Okay, time to get back to work. :lol:

[vigilante]

I'd say my biggest fault is the inability to say 'NO.' I take on too much, and I tend to get strung out with my feet in too many puddles. I am getting better at it, but it's still there.

Related to the first is that I tend to be a perfectionist. Lethal combination.:duh:

[DCSL]

My boyfriend's got that problem, the inability to say no or express a negative opinion that might clash with the opinions of those he cares for.

I seem to find it more troubling than he does, because I'm constantly wondering if something is his opinion or if he's just going along with me. I *HATE* that. I want him to tell me what he really thinks, what he really wants, not what he thinks I want to hear.

[CrystalTears]

<raises her hand> Procrastinator! Big time!

[longshot]

My biggest problem is that I don't take enough risks.

I'm really nervous about choices for my future, and tend want things to come to me rather than buckle down and see what happens.

This is part of the larger problem... which is the fear of failure. And, even worse, the fear of success.

I have no clue what to be,... I know that going back to school is the biggest bitch thing I can do... and that's what I'm doing.

I'm sure other people see my biggest fault as being an asshole, but I don't think of it that way. If I didn't care, I wouldn't say anything at all.

[Latrinsorm]

First problem: stubborn.

Related to the first, somewhere along the line I decided that people at the same level as me in school, or a job, or whatever, are to be defended whenever the boss/teacher asks questions, whether or not they deserve it. Which sometimes leads to sticky situations because at my first job there were a number of... how shall I put this... lazy-ass potheads who could barely tie their own shoes, let alone keep up with their assignments. As a result, when the boss inquired as to why it was taking us so long to complete our task, I was less than forthcoming (or honest). Luckily, while my direct boss was... not amused, her supervisor found something funny about it and I didn't get in any trouble.

Also, arrogance, but seriously I'm better with that than I used to be.

[Weedmage Princess]

I have more than a few faults actually. Right now my big two are procrastinating and my temper. I've really come a long way with my temper, but I still procrastinate like a mother...I'd really like to be able to get off my ass and do things I know I have to without having to go to war with myself to do it.

[Trinitis]

Oh Geez...where to start!


Lazy - I tend to find the fastest, less work involved way to do EVERYTHING. Even if its less hassle to just buckle down and do it.

Games - I have way too much game interaction. Not just GS. Any free time I have is normally spent in a game, of some sort or another (GS, Realm, Diablo, Playing Magic with friends IRL, playing Risk with friends IRL, playing AA with friends IRL...the list is HUGE).

Procrastination - Just about everyone suffers from this at one point or another. But I do suffer from it myself.

Easily Frustrated - This one is kind of cloudy for me. I'm not sure in what terms I should have listed it so I just put it in like this. I can debug a program for 8 hours and not be bothered one bit. But if I give someone a simple set of computer instructions and they can't follow them (Click on start, go to all programs, find Spybot, and run it.) I get SO god damn frustrated, so very fast.

Unhealthy - I know I need more exersize, but yet, I still sit at my computer, programming away.

[Wezas]

Some people are glass half empty, some people are glass half full, I'm glass totally full. I'm too easy going for my own good.

And my mind and mouth don't always coordinate and sometimes things come out the wrong way.

[HarmNone]

I am another procrastinator. That is certainly not my only fault, but it is the one that gives me the most trouble, and the one I'd most like to change. :(

HarmNone, putting things off for 43 years

[Wezas]

I'd like to add my road rage as an amendment to mine.

A 6 hour drive from Northern VA to Wilmington, NC has made me realize this.

[Artha]

What were you doing for the first 57?

:lol:

[Ilvane]

I think my biggest fault is having a really low self esteem. The problem with that is that I always worry that I'm going to offend someone and they won't talk to me, or I'll step on someones toes etc..

I admire the people who can speak out and aren't afraid to start a conflict for a good reason, because I'm certainly not one of them. I will keep quiet, until I just can't and then I wind up throwing 20 things I've been mad about for 5 years into one fight.:grin:

Yeah, so that's the biggest fault.

-A

[Back]

Wow, self exposé. Two pages so far? I'm impressed, so I'll add on.

My biggest fault is negligence. That scares me because negligence can really hurt or even kill. What freaks me out even more is that its a behaviour ingrained in me when I was a kid and half the time I don't even realize it when I'm doing it. Getting better though.

[Jenisi]

Um... I always spend too much money on the guy i'm dating... I usually take things the wrong way (easily affected by a persons tone)... um... and if i'm not in a good mood, it's pretty much impossible for me to fake being happy at work.

[Meos]

My biggest fault is I put up with peoples shit too much. I let myself get walked on sometimes and I know it's happening. Especialy when it comes to women. I just don't put a foot down and say fuck you enough. But I'm trying.

How YOU doin

[Rorac]

My biggest fault is being human.

[Hulkein]

I'm a procrastinator also, seems to be a theme on the forums. I had a paper due at 5 pm for Geosci last semester, you submitted it online via uploading it on one of the schools teacher/class interactive pages. The time the server told me I uploaded it at was 4:59:47, and that was pretty much just save, logon, upload as fast as I could.

[Delirium]

My biggest problem is i cant take criticism. Even if its constructive i feel like its an attack on me as a person and i get annoyed. If it happens at work such as in a review for promotion ill bite my lip as i like money. If it happens other places ill usually overly defend myself and get pissed off.

I also do the other stuff people mentioned here except Anticor's.

:D My biggest fault was being born :D

Edited to add: Actually, that was my parent's fault. They wasted a perfectly good night's sleep on me. Sheeit.

[Hulkein]

Yeah right, we all know your dad lasted two minutes tops.

After all, like father, like son. :beer:

[Edited on 7-18-2004 by Hulkein]

Heh, it's true the problem is kinda genetic, but to correct this horrible flaw, me and my ex used to yell out HULKEIN!! For cum-control.

[Shari]

Heeeere we go...

I'm sarcastic, so much to the point of being insulting. I don't even realize I'm doing it until people tell me later that I had seriously offended/upset the person I was speaking about.

Way way way impatient, I want things down RIGHT NOW.

And I'm not very affectionate at all. My boyfriend has problems just getting a HUG from me. And its not just him, its with my family, friends, etc. And I really do LOVE these people, but I need to work harder on showing it.

I talk too much. (Yeah, most of you already figured that one)

I complain about everything.

I'm starting to worry if I have any GOOD traits...

Heh going on Jesae's I abhor physical contact. I haven't kissed my mom since i was like 7 and Its like fucking agony to hug my relatives. There was a point where I wouldn't even shake any bodies hand.

[Betheny]

I'm way too nice to people.

...Oh wait, hahaha, no I'm not, I hate people and wish they would die.

My biggest fault is remaining oblivious amidst facts and figures, until I'm slapped in the face with reality. I need to learn to trust my instincts, because they're never wrong.
