Vices & Virtues

[Not Matt]

It is a cold, hard fact that nobody is perfect, and if you think somebody is perfect then you don't know them well enough. We all have our own special negative qualities that can make is absolutely intolerable. Luckily though, there are two sides of us. One bad and one good, which in most cases overshadow the bad part (a bit) and is what we like to think of when we try to define ourselves with one word.
And I have been trying to find my virtue for quite some time now and I believe I might have found something I would call positive.

Spoiler: Virtues

Loyalty: I will never stab a friend in the back, I will never let them go on alone and I would drop everything to come to their aid at any moment if necessary.

Fairness: I will not let my own selfishness or greed get in the way of doing what is right, I will not stand idle and watch unfair or unjustifiable actions take place. I will do what is best for the common good, even when I would prefer not to

Spoiler: Vices

Social inept: I have a very short list of friends, I am mind blowingly akward, I dread the thought of making New acquaintances and I am unable to hold on to a relationship for more than two months

Anger: I have a very short fuse and I will get really aggressive and hostile towards everyone and everything within a 50 feet radius. I might get destructive and a bit sadistic when I get really mad or stressed

So I got to wondering, what are your vices and Virtues escapists? What are your best and worst features?

"Bad" implies things I don't like about myself and want to change. Can't say I feel that way about any part of me.

I don't really keep in contact with family as often as they'd like, but that's really their problem. I'm lazy, but intelligently so. I find ways to make my laziness work. I play a long game with it, sacrificing lazy periods for effort in the short term to enjoy longer periods of lethargy later. I'm not socially active, but that's because I'm an introvert. Spending time with other people, no matter who, is physically and mentally exhausting for me and long periods alone are generally a lot more comfortable and the only way I can "recharge." I'm not physically fit, and it sometimes affects my job, but I'm aware of it and so far have been able to keep it from really causing me problems. I don't drink, smoke, do any drugs, or gamble. I'm pretty content with myself and what others would perceive as my "shortcomings." I'm not saying I'm perfect; far from it. But I have peace of mind and I believe it would take a hell of a lot to shake that.

I really don't know if this is a vice or a virtue but I cannot say no to people, i'm just too nice. It took so much effort to even turn down an invite to a custom game with a friend in League today... I, and many others in my usual group have a longstanding policy to never play customs ever. It took me a good 5 minutes just to firmly say no then go back to playing with friends +1 shitty randomer playing full damage "lol my ult is off cooldown, hope you're ready to roll" Nocturne.

A proper virtue is that I can never judge people at all. Like, whenever some criminal of the day is on the news, i'm never going "Oh he's a dick, let's hate on the dick" i'm like "oh it must be hard being a criminal. Maybe he never did it? Maybe it was all a huge misunderstanding"

A vice would be my irrational fear of physical and even some social contact by anyone I don't know, fuck it, I can't even go to the shops without planning out my conversation ahead of time.

I suppose some childhood mental scars scared me into it and I can't get out. Yeah, sounds legit. Let's roll with it.

A lot of people see this as something bad, but I see it as sometihng good for myself: I love money, therefore I have many ways to get money (Not Illegal ways obviously) and when I don't have I always find a way to get some.

A virtue...well, something that is a virtue for someone is a vice for another so I will not say any.

A vice, I hate a lot of people, I always need to hate someone and there's a lot of people to hate
