What's wrong with you?

[Nanda Devi]

Probably a misleading title, but to continue on a similar theme as the "What makes your blood boil" and "What makes you happy" threads, what do you dislike about yourself? What are your bad habits, or the things you do that you know annoy the hell out of people but you just can't stop doing them?

I'd start with a few of my own, but I'm shy :o.

On second thought, make that my character flaw #1... Along with my tendency to get beet red in the face whenever all the attention is on me.

In addition to your bad habits and personality deficits, what do you consider your best attribute?

[PlaceofDis]

i procrastinate way too much for my own good and i know it.

love most about myself is my creativity in my writings

[yellow]

I'm too willing to take people at their word, and I have Crohn's Disease.

I think Jesus is a nice myth.

[Daveway]

I'm too nice to people and to be honest I need to loose a few pounds.

Psychologically this thread could help people face there emotions and downfalls. A+. ;)

[jeremy.king]

I bite my nails
I am a bit of a slacker (ie. procrastinate)
I am overconfident at times
I am a little overweight
I am a compulsive technology buyer and subsequently seller - Gadgets and Macs are my weakness!

The list goes on, but I am totally happy with what I have done so far in life so despite my shortcomings, I will continue to live life at its fullest. :D

[maxvamp]

One of my testies are quite a bit larger than the other two, causing me considerable constant pain, and often resulting in crankiness.

Cool, glad you like the thread Daveway. I thought it might spark some constructive self-criticism (and healthy boasting). :)

I'll jump in now:

-I'm also way too nice to people and let them basically walk all over me. Assertiveness is just not "me".
- I have a bad habit of leaving my towel on the floor of the locker room after showering at the gym. Shameful.
- I'm extremely, inexplicibly anal when it comes to the organization inside my refrigerator, of all things... I'm constantly shifting things around and everything has to be in the right spot. Drives my boyfriend up the wall.
- I have a bad habit of rarely cleaning my shower, although the rest of my bathroom is always scoured regularly.

As for my strong points, I'm a pretty good cook, a decent writer, and I can haul a 35-lb. pack on my back over mountainous terrain (and actually enjoy it). Oh yeah, and I'm very nice to people! :) (It can be a good thing, too.)

[Caramel]

I really hate it when slackers are rewarded for their slackerness and the hard workers get nothing but ****!

And i'm terribly addicted to right clicking and "show package contents" on almost everything i come across on my mac! :D

:eek::eek::eek: you have 3? :eek::eek::eek:

my biggest flaws are: being a complete asshole when working on a group project at school, i'm really bossy, i'm a spoiled brat, i'm very overweight, and i watch entirely too much tv. oh, and one of my balls is also about twice the size of the other, although i only have two. doesn't hurt though. i also love pirating stuff; sometimes ill just find something illegal, download it, then delete it from my hard drive because it feels good just to download illegal things.

I have a REALLY hard time focusing on things sometime. Its like I have Adult ADD. Who knows, maybe I do? I'm not sure I even believe in it...

[mad jew]

I've got a pretty annoying heart condition. :(

But perhaps one of my biggest downfalls is how much time I spend on these forums. ;)

[stubeeef]

My perfection is annoying to others.

[Erendiox]

I trust people too much, making me very gullible at times. I also have tend to be anal about social interaction, often revisiting a past encounter over and over in my mind, searching for even the most minor of mistakes.

On the brighter side of myself, i've got alot of talent for film, photography, and music. I notice things many others don't, whether its something in the distance, a faint sound, or merely appreciating the beauty of a starlit sky. This is a power, and I intend on sharing my vision with those around me.

[sorryiwasdreami]

I'm a dick.

[Leareth]

I am a pessimist...Mr Murphy does not like me at all
If something can go wrong I have to plan on it going wrong, and it generally does go wrong plus extra stuff that no one sane could plan for.
I dont like most people, and teen/tween girls annoy the hell out of me
Hate babies and little kids
I am intolerant of intolerant people...
I get migraines that require hospitalization more than 3 times a month
and I keep breaking bones and tearing ligaments/tendons, I have broken virtually every bone in my body except any of the long bones...

On the good side I am extremely loyal, and when people need someone they can trust they come to me. Animals like me. I am good with computers. I can talk in front of large groups and enjoy it.
My IQ is above normal. I have a weird sense of humour.
I have the normal number of fingers and toes. I am a very good cook.
and thats about all the good stuff...

one of my legs is a weensy bit shorter

[Jaffa Cake]

• I bite my nails.
• I can be incredibly lazy if I allow myself.
• I can be very unassertive.
• I have a very poor memory.
• When I'm writing emails or posts, I spend way too much time drafting and rewriting them through (although you wouldn't guess by the finished results). :D

[skunk]

one of my legs is a weensy bit shorterOne of mine is shorter than the other two. Just as well, I suppose...

[Chappers]

I'm sarcastic.
I'm impatient

I'm also epileptic which other people seem to think of as a bad thing, but what do they know.

[DavidLeblond]

I keep trying, but every time I go to do it I pass by the mall and end up going to the Apple store, forgetting completely about why I was going to the school in the first place.

Seriously though the only mood altering drug I'd take is caffeine.

[joetronic]

I make to many fart and penis jokes
I can't spell for ****
I am very lazy when it comes to stuff I don't like doing
I am very opinionated and am too fast to push it on people
I hold grudges
I cannot not put my political views aside when I meet someone
I could loose a few pounds
I hate most of my coworkers, again becuase of there/my political views
I listen to NPR way too much
I use to and too in the wrong places

I am trying to work on a few of these. Its kind of a project of mine to be a better person.

:D Good one!

Having had an epileptic child myself, I'm intrigued. Are you seriously OK with it? Or is that just bravado? PM if you'd rather.

[PlaceofDis]

another thing:

i could use to gain some weight and muscle, im not nearly in the physical shape that i need to be in

i eat horrible foods although very little of it is fast food, im a constant potato chip muncher.....

[emw]

I'm wordy in my posts. By that I mean that sometimes I'll take things that could be short, but stretch them longer because I'm very cognizant of the fact that this type of exchange (meaning the written word) often leads to communication problems (i.e., misunderstanding of my intent). As a result, I... Dammit. Did it again.

I'm a smartass.

I expect too much of others.

[Lyle]

I bite my nails a lot, and it's a bad habit I'd like to change. Yeah, like that's going to happen.

I tend to whistle a lot, absent-mindedly, and this probably annoys people around me. One of my college roommates politely put up with it for almost a year before he finally had to break down and tell me it was driving him crazy.

I'm not fearless or reckless, but I am pretty self-confident about most challenges that I take on. I consider this a good thing, but it really annoys my wife that I'm not more plagued with self-doubt.

I'm really a stickler for grammar and spelling, and so when friends, co-workers, etc. ask me to proofread their writing, they sometimes get disgruntled when I return it all marked-up. If you don't want my opinion, don't ask for it. "Their" and "they're" mean completely different things even though they sound alike. Yes, there's a difference between "its" and "it's".

P.S. I also have Crohn's Disease, and although I dislike it, I don't consider it a bad habit or a character flaw.

[mkrishnan]

I'm moody too...and I have terrible self-esteem in a social sense, although not in a professional sense. :( Hmmm...oh, and a distorted body image. :(

[emw]

My perfection is annoying to others.That and you're too goddamn good looking. I've always hated you for that. ;) :D

[revenuee]

i'm a slacker <-- wait, thats my best quality

i'm morally retarded <-- scratch that --> i'm morally deficient


wait ... are these things we are proud of? or feel as a flaw?

cause i'm not sure i think these are my flaws

[jayscheuerle]

What? You want me to give people I don't know reasons not to like me? :p

How about I'm way laid back with a horrendous temper?

in your case that is normal : )

FYI everybody has one leg shorter, same with arms
it can be used to determine if you are left or right handed

[wordmunger]

I spend too much time on MR.

I procrastinate.

I'm too idealistic.

I'm too self-centered.

That probably covers it....

[gekko513]

Hard question ...

I'm not very good at expressing myself verbally. I tend to get stuck searching for words that fit my thoughts, and I also tend to get incoherent because I think things through as I speak and can not speak as fast as the thoughts pop up.

I get easily stressed by having commitments and appointments.

I procrastinate.

I'm not good at keeping in touch with distant friends and family.

[SilvorX]

I'm lazy/procrastinate too much and I have a mental illness and blow my money on stuff almost all the time when I get money

[mkrishnan]

I'm not good at keeping in touch with distant friends and family.

Gekko, I have so many friends that I think of now and again, and I realize I've let them slip away...I totally sympathize with you about this. :(

[mac-er]

The voices in my head say there is nothing wrong with me.

[scem0]

Bad qualities
-I have 0 self control
-I procrastinate
-I am lazy
-I can be overly shy at times
Good Qualities:
-I don't need much self control because I avoid bad things. For example, I don't drink, so I don't need to worry about drinking too much (which I'd do if I did drink).
-I'm introspective
-I'm not a conformist

im like that too. one time i tried to explain it to my dad and he was like "i can't think as fast as i talk" lol

[Dagless]

i keep telling myself i should run more. my parents were both marathon runners so its kinda in the family.

i get too worried/look too deep into things?

i honestly cant think of any! god im not perfect but my minds blocked!

but i suppose:
-i should work out more
-i should do more college work!
-i should spend less time on the internet (i think all those 3 are connected)
-i should draw more
-i post lots of messages on forums where people probably dont know or care about me
-i have a brilliant memory, even going back to when i was a few months old, BUT i forget important things constantly

+ive got iron in my soul
+i dont smoke or drink or take drugs
+im not lazy, but i do get distracted easily
+i dont get depressed (link with no drinking?) and i have a positive outlook on pretty much everything
+unless my girlfriend dies young (not a nice thought but) i will only have ever had sex with 1 person, through my choice alone. ties in with my strong moral thingy

oh yea im not religious and neither is anyone in my family but my 1 sexual partner, no smoke/drink etc values are all these cool little things i chose on my own. and i am very happy with life :)

[skunk]

and i am very happy with life :)I hope it stays that way.
