your biggest character flaw?

Robsweezie

i will often happily admit when im wrong on something, but get pissy and defensive when others call me out on the same thing.

e.g ''sorry im late''

''no yer grand, there's still time''

''no theres no excuse, i shouldve been quicker''

ive apologised, and no harm done. but if they started telling me i was late, id be less apologetic.

Overthinking.

It causes untold anxiety and wastes a lot of time. I'm decisive enough when I'm dealing with things that only affect myself and my life, but I overthink things that affect other people to a ridiculous degree.

I will hammer myself over the 1% of a job or problem in work that I couldn't figure out and not for a second praise myself for the excellent job of getting 99% of it right. Even when other people tell me how much I have helped and how useful I am, I am tormented by the 1% that got away...

That's your biggest flaw. Not being able to recognize them

Mine is probably worrying too much.

I'm a massive procrastinator.
I hate confrontation.
I'm never really forceful enough to get a point across in conversations.
I tend to let anger over trivial things simmer for months and or years instead of just dealing with it.
Anti social and introvert to the extreme.

This is same as me.....instead of letting anger simmer....I just drop/stop talking to people,to them.what seems out of the blue


Can't seem to change either or bring myself to back down and go back talking to them people either

If anything, I am TOO perfect

Too many to mention.

I don´t just over think I over feel. Every single thing. I am getting better thankfully.
Laziness.
Procrastination. If it can be done next week why do it today.

I'm very straight forward, and I mean VERY. I know plenty of people saying "Oh you know I'm a very honest person" but the truth is that a level of honesty is not received well in some cases.
Luckily, I have some compassion and am somewhat diplomatic which makes it a tad better.

I can be quite fiery, and if I'm in one of those moods then I can be very unpleasant to be around. But when I'm lovely- I'm very lovely. But my off days are becoming more and more frequent.
I'm getting lazier by the day too which feeds into my conversion into an anti social hermit.
I'm also quite shy when I first meet people. And awkward. I make all these things worse for myself by massively over thinking fairly innocuous situations.

7 Seconds...

My shyness, anxiety & I care far too much about what other people think, which only wrecks my head & increases my shyness and anxiety. But thankfully I am beginning to see a change in my attitude and I am starting to believe in myself again. Its onwards & upwards from now on:).

But in all seriousness, I definitely take other people's opinions about my thoughts/work performance/general traits too personally. I also tend to be shy in a group environment, and wouldn't really air my own opinion in said environment (not great when serving on a committee). Would rather say how I really feel via email or drunken text

Well able to talk face-to-face to someone, but at same time nod and agree with what they are saying so as not to cause offence.

Never great at maintaining eye contact growing up, but it's definitely something I have improved on recently. Definitely a better listener than talker.

If anybody wrongs me then that’s it.
Anything sneaky or dishonest then bam.....
Never to be acknowledged again.
They wouldn’t have a clue tho.
Unless they ask.
Once that happens I never go back.
Ruthless that way I am.


Doesn’t mean I am afraid of confrontation, quiet the opposite actually.

Sure. Does the boss know who you are on Boards then?:)

Same. I've actually come to realise recently when people say "tell me what you think, honestly".. that they actually don't want brutal honesty. Well, not the anna080 version anyway! :pac:
I just can't lie to people and bullsh!t them.

A normal woman by the sound of it. Know that you have 10 times the hormones of any man circulating in your system on any given day, so that's the reason imo. Having hormones doesn't make you great either so don't think that I'm "celebrating your uniqueness" either.

I'm really messy. Disgustingly so at times.

Well, it takes me a long time to learn anything. I'm kind of a goofball. Little stuff starts disappearing from the workplace.

I’ll take note of this answer for when this question is asked in an interview

Harry Palmr

I need a looming deadline or I do nothing, funny thing is that up against the clock I'm very good. I'm a bit too easy going until the moment I snap. At work I need someone with me or standing over me to be at full production.

Widdershins

Wracking my brains here but no, sorry, I have no flaws....

Snotty

I'm a weird combination of socially awkward and couldn't give a crap what anyone thinks of me. The awkwardness is since birth, the latter took me a long number of years to work out, I used to constantly worry what people though of me but then I realised that it got me nowhere, so **** them all. There is a large number of people who dislike me, but it stemed from their own issues, so I don't care.

My job forces me to be the bad guy in many situations so it's a role I have embraced and probably allowed me to be a happier person.

Ulysses Gaze

It takes me a long time to learn things. I'm kind of a goof off....

The_Honeybadger

Lazy, I cannot get properly going in work unless there is a crisis or looming deadline, at which point I can get through incredible amounts of work. I rarely miss a deadline though, and have a reputation as a Trojan worker. In truth I’d have a really handy and interesting job if I didn’t make it so hard by procrastinating and creating a mini s**tstorm for myself every month.

I used to also be very shy and suffered with social anxiety until a promotion at work forced me into regular public speaking. I actually considered quitting because I used to work myself up so much, but bit by bit my anxiety wore off and I now actually enjoy events and speaking in public.

I'm waaay too honest. I've no time for bull****. Life's too short.

I probably need to be more assertive and have a bit more belief in my self. The title of this thread made me think of this though

No joke, that was very close to an interview I had a while ago because of said problem.

I have no patience or willpower. I want everything I like now and all the time until I get bored of it. I used to judge myself very harshly and consider what other people think of me far too much but recently told myself feck that. I am who I am. I'm not perfect but I try my best. That will have to do.

I used to be apathetic, but these days I just can’t be bothered.

You're a work in progress I'm the very opposite and it made me realize something a little harsh about myself. I've got a lot of patience, and pretty iron willpower. I don't have a lot of talents but when I need to knuckle down and get something done I'm quite resolute.

It's one of my better characteristics, but it leads to a sort of lack of understanding of people who have trouble with it, and I used to judge people pretty harshly for it. I'm the first to admit now that it was unfair, but it's only in the last few years I'm really aware of that unpleasant trait, and I make a conscious effort to be more tolerant now. I'm only a work in progress too.

Hector Bellend

I'm far too placid; I've no issue with debating something and anything with anyone, given I have some knowledge/experience of the topic, however, if the debate turns into an argument I leave it alone.

I suppose I am non-confrontational.

Violent temper.

Tom Mann Centuria

I dwell on things for ever pretty much, minute things, always negative, or where I've got embarrassed that most people would have long forgotten.
