Escapist, what are your major personality flaws?

[Funkiest Monkey]

I would say I'm loud and obnoxious at times. I swear more than I should, that's for sure. I also display small levels of Narcissism, as well as having a mildly short fuse. I don't take anything seriously, and feel the need to make (mostly bad) jokes out of everything. And they're not all in good taste. I can also be lazy at times.

But hey! I'm a pretty nice guy! I just like to have a laugh. I'm not intentionally nasty to anyone (unless they piss me off beforehand), and I'm not sexist or racist either. I'm just a bit full-on for some people, I've been told.

So, Escapist, what are your flaws? And come on, be honest - I have.

Im quite a shy person iniatially when it come to meeting new people so i always try to avoid social situations like parties, but eventually the more i do something the less shy and more outgoing i become ie, starting a new job.

Also, i find it difficult to be myself when talking to girls so i end up being or trying to be someone im not and usually just come off as weird or a bit geeky. Its definately something i need to work on

 

[Daystar Clarion]

People often call me lazy, because I drag my heels when it comes to doing menial tasks. It's not that I'm lazy, I just have a massive aversion to boredom, I can't stand being bored. I also avoid serious discussion and cover up insecurities with humour.

My entire personality was derived around my trying to rationalize depression from a young age. I separated myself from others because for the longest time I thought I was better than them because I thought differently. I no longer believe such, but I still separate myself from others out of habit. I find it difficult to look at people as people and empathize with them. I'm arrogant, receded, paranoid, and I've spent so long in my own little world that, now that I'm coming out of depression a fair bit, that I have no idea what I'm supposed to do, socially or in the long run. I was never really allowed to be a kid so I grew up fast, but I think I only grew to around sixteen, mentally, and stopped, because I catch myself doing things that I know I shouldn't be doing, and acting like a teenager my friends have outgrown when at the beginning of high school I was the mature one. I've also been told I'm judgmental, but she assumed that because I was shy around her friends, so I'm not sure if that's true or not. Oh, I also tend to psychoanalyze people.

I'm working on it, believe me.

EDIT: Oh, and the depression makes it impossible for me to focus on things that don't hold my attention easily. I try and focus on it, my mind wanders to something I don't want to think about, then the symptoms kick in and I can't do anything the rest of the day. It's made me avoid stuff I don't want to do because I know what the end result is.

I'm very aware of my problems...

Well, Russians have natural character flaws (well, considered flaws everywhere else in the world). Staring at people across the street, heavy pessimism, and usual bursts of raising your voice at other people. Probably the most flawed part is that I'm prone to bouts of intense anger, which is usual among Russians as well.

But seriously, personalities are received differently in some parts of the world. Where a trait is considered a flaw in one country, it may be considered a strength in another. Take, for instance, the lax work ethic that a good portion of Europe displays. In America, this is a flaw. We're constantly working, and we don't believe in complete lunches. But in, say, Latvia, workers don't work straight, they love taking breaks. It's an advantage to them because they believe in personal health. Likewise, we appreciate hard workers, but go somewhere else in the world and hard workers will be seen as too focused and hard to work with. It's a matter of relativity.

 

[Raconteur]

I have absolutely no tolerance for people with no common sense, and it infuriates me like setting a match to gasoline...

Other than that, I am absolutely flawless.

 

[con70solo]

I always so anti-social

 

[Chogg Van Helsing]

Yey! I know all my flaws and can use them to my adv antage lol.

I'm vain, narcassistic, arrogant, ignorant, loud, self-rightous, controlling, lazy, violent (occasionally), judgemental in the extreme. The list prob goes on lol. But I do have many good traits lol. I have high moral standards, so I judge people a lot. But I'm also loyal, friendly, and trustworthy and honest. I'm a nice guy! Trust me. Just look at my avatar! Isn't that a face you can trust...

 

[Jack_Uzi]

I'm very distant and formal to most people. I don't show my true emotions most of the time so people don't know what to make of me. Maybe it's because, deep inside, I am the opposite and don't want people to take advantage of it.

 

[Radeonx]

I'm far too awesome for humans to comprehend, sending their brains into a whirlwind of thoughts that slowly but surely fries their brains.
That's the main one.

 

[KaiRai]

A very VERY short fuse for people who annoy me.

Teachers and parents fit into this category especially.

Christ sake, I heard you the first time, shut up and let me get on with it...

 

[Kapol]

I'm a self-hating narcissist who hates everyone at least a little bit and am unable to feel much emotion besides rage and hate. As well, I withdraw myself from the world and always think that everyone hates me and that everything I do sucks or is wrong. I have a tendency to think that, to everyone else, I am nothing, and therefore have no self worth. As well, I am completely anti-social around all but the closest of my friends.

So basically, I just hate everything.

 

[Rarhnor]

Anger.

Many will probably say it, but I'm particularly odd. I've pushed friends away because of anger. I've never done, and never will do, any physical harm on anyone, but it gets intimidating. As intimidating as it can get, without involving physical harm to objects or people.

It's something I am pretty ashamed of.

 

[Hana_aoki]

My fuse is too long. People walk all over me, and then I explode over little things that usually end up being done by my friends, and when I do get mad, some might liken it to a nuclear explosion.

 

[Armored Prayer]

I lack the confidence to talk to others, so I tend to more quiet in groups. I also take jokes about me seriously. I'm also pretty lazy when it comes to work with others.

Besides that, I'm a pretty nice person.

 

[Dusk17]

I am lazy, shy, a Jerk, and have low self esteem. I can also have a temper at times but it has not gotten me in trouble.

 

[supagama]

people hate me for the fact that i tend to be right and i use big words they dont know. evidently being stupid and feeling stupid are two different thing for them.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

To list them, I'd have to try and remember all of them.
It's hard. I am pretty fucking flawed.

So let's just cut a long story short and say I am not a shitty person. Oh no. I am a sentient piece of shit.
I have problems that stem from nowhere and I do not see a point in trying to correct them. It would be like trying to spitshine a wad of dung.

thats me minus the fuse time.
