Character flawz, we haz them

Put a label on yours, maybe you can do something about it.

Griff: limited generosity of spirit
If doing something for someone gives every indication of being truly unproductive, I have a really hard time committing my time to it. I think the root of it was those many many hours spent with my Dad not getting stuff done on the farm growing up. My Mom's side of the family is notorious for remarkably effective work habits, while my Dad's side could find the road blocks and pointless rambling in any activity. Now I'm kind of a bastard about letting my life slip away in dithering...

I am impatient.
I hate talking about gonna. Do it now and do it right and don't expect a parade when you're done.

I am unforgiving and I don't forget.

I procrastinate.

I beat myself up hard. I am severely beaten at this point.

Pico and ME · 03-27-2010, 12:21 PM

Im sneaky.

Pie · 03-27-2010, 03:01 PM

I will not ask anyone for help.

I want others to help me (if I need help) because they care about me, not because I asked for a favor.

I am mostly disappointed.

I am really fucking lazy. It's an effort sometimes to live in the world instead of my head.

I'm a compulsive masturbator.

I mean anonymous is a compulsive masturbator.

I am a compulsive wise-ass who avoids sincerity when possible.

Griff · 03-27-2010, 03:50 PM

I don't so much kill hobos as take away things useful for hobo survival like say not having a car parked on their chest or not having ground in close proximity when initially being pushed off a railroad bridge. Sometimes I avoid responsibility for stuff as well but nothing comes to mind. um... anonymous asked me to put that up for him/her

fargon · 03-27-2010, 04:10 PM

I am all of the above.

Clodfobble · 03-27-2010, 04:22 PM

I take personal responsibility for everything, everything, and beat myself up over failures I had no real control over--while at the same time being secretly irritated as all shit that everyone else isn't also taking personal responsibility for all the same things. I have no compassion skills whatsoever.

skysidhe · 03-27-2010, 05:35 PM

I don't think critically enough about relationships when I fall in love or even like.I avoid hurt by avoiding too much. I hide all that by seeming aloof. Want the shirt off my back. Here have it. You want a deeper commitment or for me to play ' I want you to want me so much' games. I'll balk and maybe even walk away.

I'll hold things in until it's at critical mass. This might be due to the avoiding and not thinking critically before it gets to that point. I don't fight I just lay it out and go.

Insecure.

Trilby · 03-28-2010, 05:52 AM

I can get white-hot mad in .06 seconds.

Sarcasm - now a way of life.

I see people/things/life in terms of black or white - good or bad - superwonderful or evil as shit.

I am superficial, rash, judgmental, impulsive and easily annoyed.

I watch too many shows on courtTeeVee.

I nurture my sense of jealousy and entitlement.

I am working on all these things.

This is the main reason I so rarely ask for help IRL. So many times people have said to me in retrospect, "I would have helped you with that! Why didn't you ask?" Because I've never been able to get over the rejection of when I did.

My evil ex said I had a magnesium flare temper. From nothing to make-you-blind-if-you-look-at-it. Then again, he was a cheating arsehole.

Amen.

Me too.

I'm frivolous with money.
I have a mayfly mind - obsessed with something one day, dead to it the next. I'll never be a scholar

Frustration turns to anger almost immediately with me. Living with Mum has helped because I can see where it comes from, but I am still too liable to blame my anger on anything other than myself.
I hold a mean grudge. I'm better than I was (I used to have a mental assassination list!) but I can take offense far too easily.
I am insecure and self-loathing. My life would be far more fulfilling if only I liked myself.

Oh. And I'm too self critical

I procrastinate. My attitude is very defeatest. I'm a pessimist who always sees the glass as half empty. I have difficulty following stuff through. I beat mysel up - a lot!
