Everyone, you're perfect people, right? Yeah, that's what everyone tells me. Some kind of intelligence, some kind of condition that makes you superior in physical activity, etc. However, do we ever point out our own flaws at times?

I can, pretty easily. I know I'm socially awkward, I'm openly racist, and I have the tendency to be a huge prick. I'm also not the smartest person out there.

.....

Yeah, I won't even make excuses.

So my questions to you are:
-Could you point out your own flaws, if asked to?
-If so, do you have any examples you'd like to share?
Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit.

I'm not actually that smart, I don't try to be, and I accept when I've either misunderstood or lost an argument.

I'm also an asshole whenever I feel like being grumpy, prone to "being drunk" without actually being drunk (for shits and giggles), and I'm introverted, which I perceive to be a weakness in this sort of world.
======

I think this one time my weaknesses started flaring out was when this one girl I was with finally told me she "didn't like it when I kept pointing out her flaws". Keep in mind I've known her for months at that point. Now until that point, I 1) didn't realize I was doing that, and 2) didn't realize that was a bad thing. She has every right to do the same thing, because in my circle of friends that's regular behavior (feel free to judge; whatever). I explain to her that it was in good humor, but that obviously didn't blow over well.

Needless to say, that behavior of mine mostly stopped, even with my good friends (irl friends, anyway). So... yeah.

In retrospect, I have every right to keep doing that now that she's not part of my life anymore, but for some reason it feels like "changing for someone you don't care about anymore" is a lot better than "remaining an arrogant prick".

A real touchy topic for some people.

Let's see... I'm very emotional. I have the tendency to read between the lines through people's words/actions, a bit too much. I get really melodramatic sometimes. Hell, I remember last year with my "girlfriend".... I really wanna shoot the kid I was.
Conversely, I can also be a real dick to those who bug me even the tiniest. Yeah, emotions get in the way too much.

- I'm often late for appointments.
- I have terrible short term memory.
- I have a severe caffeine addiction.
- I have OCD, which often results in the first flaw I mentioned.
- Due to 10+ years of organized football (soccer), my knees are broken and they won't fix themselves unless I have a surgery. I frequently experience pain, and I can't put my knees under lots of stress, for example when carrying heavy objects.
- Bad attention span.
- I enjoy being cruel towards people I think deserves it.

That'll have to do.

Nobody has ever realized without me saying it, but my right eye is slightly bigger than my left eye. Nothing drastic, actually, I only realized it this year. It's not even noticeable unless you stare at me for a good 5-10 minutes, but it still bothers me.
I lack empathy, someone could be crying for my help and I'd walk away like nothing ever happened. I have OCD and freak out if something is not exactly as it's supposed to be. My sense of humor never stops, even at the worst of times, I laugh and make jokes at the worst of times, like I could be at a funeral and I'll start laughing because I thought of something funny.

When others challenge me is when I learn the most, so often criticism is welcome in that regard.

I am horrible at receiving compliments and kindness, and it often causes me to lose my composure. Example: Someone complimented my monologue performance in theatre and from the stage (physically standing over them, just afterwards) I talked it down in a textbook example of self-deprecation, instead of saying "thank you."

If I am not sure about something, or do not know much about it, I try my best to make that clear before speaking as to not mislead others, but it makes me sound as though I lack certainty, which is unprofessional.

I am far too focused on acquiring knowledge, and have such limited ability to focus on one topic, that at times projects can be pushed to their deadline as I spend hours on Wikipedia researching whatever piques my interest.

Repairing electronics is one of my great passions, but once I complete a project it never leaves my possession.

In discussion, I tend to dominate and emphasize my own findings, regardless of whether they are noteworthy. You could say that I am not humble, but this extends into things that are not necessarily achievements of my own, just things I would like to discuss and so I force others into discussion.

OCD and hygiene affixed as well, cannot work in a messy area and cannot coexist with bad smells or dirty (especially hygiene related) appliances. Hands must always be dry and clean, face cannot be oily, etc.

I have trust issues, suck at English, may act excessively apathetic/logical to hide my emotions, judge books by their cover, am generally pessimistic but choose to hide it since logically it'll cause problems socially, hopeless romantic, am uncomfortable in large groups, create stress and pressure for myself, and have difficulty getting motivated to do stuff.

-Adopt a lazy attitude toward things that can are important.

- Often procrastinate

- have a hard time admitting that i am wrong in areas that i think i am knowledgeble in (or care deeply about)

-spoiled --> don't know a lot of stuff (like chores) that normal people would know

- sheltered --> sometimes ignorant of stuff that an average person living in modern society would know

- uncomfortable in large groups that I am not familiar with (more like that I just feel I don't belong)

- read between lines of people's action and words (most circumstances are okay but sometimes too much)

i'll add more when i think of it.

I have a serious love-hate relationship for mobile gaming, I can't help it that I'm afraid mobile will take most if not all the developers I like. Doesn't help that stuff like this is slowly happening. No dabbling in mobile gaming has really alleviated the fear significantly although it's easing very slowly but I'm still fearful and sensitive.

I'm a financial and political pessimist, while it's healthy to be a financial or political pessimist, the flaw comes from my speaking of realistic but the very worst case scenarios. I have a hard time thinking positively when it comes to any government not just my own.

I'm just an overall pessimist when it comes to society, I just have less faith in it than I had 10, 15, 20 years ago.

I'm VERY narcissistic. I love talking about myself and thinking of myself as amazing and awesome and awesome at things (that I may not necessarily be good at).

I'm extremely and perhaps overly trusting of others. It could get me into trouble at some point in the future.

I'm overly obsessive about some interests and I'm overly obsessive about some of my goals. I'd push towards my goals even when it hurts me because I want to get what I want to get done done.

I'm very introverted and have trouble talking to people.

I'm a lazy procrastinator, and this hurts my grades.

If you consider it a flaw, I'm EXTREMELY idealistic. Thoughts and feelings are constantly based on how I think the world should be, often ignoring or downplaying how the world actually is.

I can relate to the first one in so many ways! I can get so obsessed over some interests that I just get ahead of myself. Also, even if I know if I'm weak at something I wanna be good at, my pride just gets in the way.

A few I can think of: I have a hard time saying no when a person is overly persistent, don't speak my mind when I should, either too nice for my own good or a real bitch, laugh things off and have a habit of taking on more than I should then caving to pressure/stress and giving up. Too many to list tbh.

- low interest in face-to-face conversations with most people, which usually results in me walking away while they are in mid-sentence. I consider it a good opportunity for the other person to realize how boring they are in reality.
- anti-social when it comes to talking to others in public
- you do something to lose my trust once and you lose all trust you will ever get from me (I don't consider this a flaw)
- not really ambitious
- possibly speak my mind too much such as calling someone arrogant/obnoxious to their face, regardless of what anyone else thinks
- little remorse for others (I don't consider this a flaw)
- impatient when I do not have my laptop with me
- bad at small talk
- lack motivation in anything that I do not find interesting
- lack of common sense and denial of the obvious extremely irritates me (I don't consider this a flaw)
- more flaws I suppose, but these are the ones that came to mind first

I'm impatient, short-tempered, stubborn, sensitive, and clingy. I have low self esteem, a fear of commitment (or something like that, I'm just a raging bitch in relationships and I generally do not want to be in one. I don't ever even tell someone when I have feelings for them because if they feel the same and we enter a relationship, I'm afraid I'll turn on them). I hate any form of physical contact. I'm lazy. I'm overweight. I'm childish. I drink too much. I have a very short attention span.

I think that's enough for now.

1) I'm lazy and weak-willed, so it takes a great amount of motivation to work hard.
2) I was and am still a little shy in public cuz I stutter sometimes. But maybe that's cuz I been secluded from other ppl for awhile.
3) I can be very emotional very easily. I don't cry like a little bitch though.
