Poll: What's your biggest character flaw?
Re: Poll: What's your biggest character flaw?
it's weird seeing Hulk after i've been so into Celeb Apprentice this season. no likey.
Oops - I forgot that one. My H calls me a screecher, and it is the one thing he complains about.
Soon to celebrate the day we met, even if the day before marks when we said goodbye.
Exactly this, but as I am a people pleaser (flaw nr 2), I get in trouble with myself, because people do not like flaw nr 1.
Flaw nr 3 : worrier
Flaw nr 4 : not expressing my dislikes and combined with flaws nr 2 and 3, ending up with my head exploding over arguments I have with people IN MY HEAD
Before I get to nr 7893653499, I am going home (it is 7 p.m. here) and take my medication ...
I was thinking flaws, not character flaws - my bad.
idk. selfish? bossy? impatient?
there are so many. i would be interested to know how my H or my friends answer this. i can't really think of the one that really encompasses me. like, i am bossy but only with H. i am impatient, but only in certain situations. i am selfish, but not with my friends.
soooo....idk.
i'm lazy and need a fire under my ass to get things done.
i am selfish and withdrawn, even though i love people. i want to talk to you, i just don't ever want you to ask anything of me, and if you do i will probably secretly resent you (because i'm lazy, see above) even though i'll do it (see below).
i'm a perfectionist, but not in the my-closet-is-always-organized-and-i-am-early-for-every-deadline way. in the "it has to be exactly like this or the entire world is completely, utterly, ruined and destroyed" way. which leads to drama. i'm also overly dramatic.
ETA: i asked my husband what my worst flaw is. he says it's constant self-doubt. i find this very interesting. both that i asked him and that he answered something i hadn't expected.
I'm lazy, capricious, prone to clutter, utterly naive about people's intentions, prideful and egotistical.
Updated September 2012.
I over analyze and over plan.
Ive also been known to blow small issues completely out of proportion.
I'm a planner, and if things don't go to plan then I get really upset. And I also have a really hard time playing things by ear.
I also have no backbone, and can't really say no to anything.

Is lateness a character flaw? Because that, without question, is my worst.
I am a controlling perfectionist. I have to hold myself back from "correcting" my kids' artwork, ffs.
I'm pretty obnoxious 95% of the time. Its fairly amazing I have any friends.
I'm fat, which is a big ML flaw, right? :-)
I am so inept at reading people and picking up social cues I feel like I'm one precarious step short of an Asperger's diagnosis.
I make the fiance do MUCH more sh!t that I want to do that he doesn't than the other way around.
It is impossible for me to mask it when I dislike someone.
And we won't even get started on my thorough lack of any sense of work ethic, organization or good working habits.
Or my lack of a sense of proper house-keeping :-)
I am SO easily distracted.
I want people to see things the way I see them and have a hard time not trying to change them when they don't.
I get easily irriitated when I spend too much time with the same person/people. This is why I try to have different circles of friend and also why I have a hard time with close/intimate relationships. I am really easy to get along with, as long as I have my "me"time, and don't feel smothered.
I am late to EVERYTHING!
I procrastinate a lot.
