Which of the 7 Deadly Sins do you embody the most?

[Palademon]

I'd say Pride because despite not being confident in myself. The steady stream of low self esteem inducing negatives in my younger years have lead to a great mentality of "No, you're wrong!", due to apparently everything I did when younger being bad in some way.

After That Sloth, but probably as an extension of my Pride. I think I have a subconsicous problem of believing I deserve certain things, either through being good, or for dealing with adversity. While I consciously find this very foolist I believe this fuels my procrastination.

But mostly I'm Prideful because now whenever I come across a negative aspect of me I refuse to change it as I accept it as a part of me and believe I require no changes.

 

[deserteagleeye]

From lowest to highest.
Greed
Wrath
Envy
Pride
Lust
Gluttony
Sloth

I could elaborate on that but...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[debtcollector]

1: Pride. While I don't preen or strut, I have a pretty overblown opinion of how great I am and how other people should see me. I'm probably covering for some sort of deficiency.
2: Sloth. I put the "pro" in "procrastinate." To be fair, once I start doing something, I do it right, but damned if it doesn't take me forever to get moving.
3: Lust. I'm a horny 19-year-old in college. What more must I say?
4: Wrath. I have a tendency to verbally lash out at people. Biting sarcasm is a part of my humor but I can very easily become rather malicious.
5: Gluttony. I like food a lot, and I'll eat as much as I reasonably can in a meal, but I think I eat less than many others.
6: Greed. I'm a bit stingy, but that's about it.
7: Envy. I generally don't get jealous of others. Not for any lasting period anyway.

 

[emissary666]

Wrath: I explain to people that my personality is built on hate and anger. I rarely lash out anymore, but let it's a slow burn that as been going on for as long as I can remember, I can remember almost every slight against me and still fume over them. Definitely a wrath person.

Gluttony: My diet is "eat what I want to, die when it kills me", yeah. I also tend to be one of those over-indulgent types, I will find something and obsessively consume until I tire of it. Gluttony is a definite.

Lust: 19 year old virgin, I consider myself definitely uninterested in actively pursuing carnal relations. If a moderately attractive female were to offer, I would accept, but I am otherwise not too lustful. A Second Circle inhabitant I am not.

Greed: Opposite problem, I have no real sense of money, one of the flaws of growing up spoiled. I can't say one way or the other in terms of this one.

Sloth: See gluttony, I tend to get stuck on one thing and ignore other activities. Sometimes this is something like work or school, but usually its video games. I'd say I'm 7 out of 10 on the Sloth scale.

Envy: Not really that envious, but, as mentioned in greed, I was spoiled rotten when I was younger, so I was usually the one being envied. Not really a problem.

Pride: I'm an egotheist, I believe my self to be the center of existence, and see everyone else as inferior. However, at the same time, I have crippling fits of depression that reduce my self-confidence to shreds. The whole egotheist thing is more of a philosophy built on the logic that there is no proof that anything exists beyond my range of perception, therefore I am the center of the universe, therefore I am god. My real religion is Cephalopodian, worship of all things tentacled. I'm too emotionally unstable to give a definitive rating on pride.

 

[kyuzo3567]

My first two tend to flip back and forth depending on my mood. So i'm either Lust>Gluttony>Sloth or Gluttony>Lust>sloth

I'm just a fat horny bastard who had no role models to form a good work ethic off of...... And I'm content with how I am. I would love to change and get better (and I'm working towards that) but I don't hate myself for who I am

 

[Xaio30]

Envy
I can't stand people who have it better than me without having to work for it.
Geniuses, lottery winners and anyone else with dumb luck.

 

[Muspelheim]

Hmm, interesting question, actually. Let's get stuck in!

1. Envy: I'm... Utterly immune, more or less. To be honest, I don't think I'm envious enough. But I don't know, I've got what I got and I'm happy with that. Sure, I can be a little bit envious when someone has something I really want but can't have yet, but I think that's just regular, healthy envy, I've never dwelt on such things since I was five.

2. Wrath: Oh, god, wrath... How furious I actually am. I've got pretty vast quantities of hatred and anger carefully under lock and key. Oh, there is so much and so many I'd like to destroy... But I'm not afraid. It's about admitting these feelings exist and keeping an eye of them. People try to make me feel ashamed of my anger, but I never will be. I will never crawl. But I'll keep it leashed and carefully watched.

3. Lust: Hmm... Yes, I guess I'm a fairly randy sod. Not something debilitating, I'm in complete control of it and it doesn't occupy time I don't want it to. We're buddies, me libido and I.

4. Sloth: Well, let's put it like this. My totem spirit would probably be a snail. I do love snails, I admire their philosophy. I really ought to get bloody goin' sometimes, though. It's work in progress.

5. Gluttony: Wrap me up in kelp, and I'll stagger up shore and frighten children. I look like a Draugr, skinny and pale. I don't eat very much or very often. Never feel binge cravings anymore, and I never buy crisps or anything for myself. Although I am a glutton for coffee and fags, I suppose. And punishme... No!

6. Greed: I am stingy. I hate spending money, unless it's for tobacco or the latest Bethesda RPG. But I don't crave more than I need, really. And I just can't steal, at least nothing that I know matters to someone.

7. Pride: I'm not prideful enough. I seriously need to work on this. I do like people who are prideful, even arrogant, as long as they've got something to back it up with. Of course, no one likes vaccuous pride, and I'm no exception. When I get around grinding pride-points for my character sheet, I'll avoid that.

I suppose wrath is my worst. I'm never really angry so it shows, but that's because I don't want to let that hellhound escape... Not the most healthy relationship, but it certainly doesn't help that people treat you as a serial killer waiting to snap if you're not tranquil as a mug of sleeping pill tea all hours of every day.

 

[Mr Fixit]

I'm guilty of a little bit of all of them, but Pride, Lust & Wrath are the big three.

Pride. I now when I'm good at something & I have no problem telling everyone.

Lust. I'm male, need I say more? Actually yes I do. I've been single for far too long & it's really starting to get to me, this probably ties into the whole Wrath problem as well.

Wrath. I'm normally quite easygoing, but I tend to get angry very quickly & usually over small annoyances. It seems to have gotten worse over the past few years, I used to have excellent control over my temper.

 

[Dwarfman]

Given the current flame war I'm waging with someone on the internet right now I'd have to say wrath.

 

[ksn0va]

Only Wrath. I'm generally nice but I can kill someone I love with no hesitation if the need arises.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

#1. Envy - For everything I've ever attempted I've spent my whole life wishing I was as good as seemingly everyone else. I was and am not ever the best at anything.

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

1. Envy: While I do often get frustrated with my own inadequacies, and I do aspire at times to things that other people are or can do, I don't think this is particularly strong with me.

2. Wrath: I've always had a reputation for anger, and I still do. I don't get angry without reason but I am a violent reactant. There are plenty of factors contributing to this, I don't really care, but it's just as much personality as anything else. Maybe I should downgrade myself a bit because I can't hold a grudge, but in the heat of the moment I can dish it out, in addition to having a short fuse and 'not knowing my own strength'. Wrath is a strong contender.

3. Lust: Not really.

4. Sloth: Generally a vice of mine and one that I hate myself for often. I really cannot do shit unless it really needs to be done. A large part is escapism, not wanting to deal with anything to do with the outside world. But that said, I can do things fairly decisively if I'm motivated, and the physical aspect of sloth doesn't really apply. I go to the gym, I cycle places. Maybe a 6/10.

5. Gluttony: I give in to temptations every so often, and I can and do eat a lot, but I eat healthily, I don't take the easy way out, and my penchant is for apples, so I think I'm safe here.

6. Greed: Weak as hell. I conserve my money, no doubt about that, but I've never shirked a cost and nor do I think I should have more money than I do. I don't buy much and I don't expect much.

7. Pride: I'm pretty opinionated, as some of you possibly know, and I like to think I am more moral and less hypocritical than average. I simultaneously have a high and low opinion of myself, somehow, and this category satisfies the former. I also tend to think I know better than the average person on a lot of things, which probably isn't true, but sometimes I wonder when I see who and what Australians vote for. I also have a low opinion of God, due to my dislike of hypocrisy, which by Wikipedia's definition improves my standing in pride, and I've often done group tasks by myself because I'm the only person I trust to do the job properly. That said, I do value others' work when I see good work, and I know my own inadequacies. It'd have to be a tie with wrath.

tl;dr Wrath = Pride > Sloth > Gluttony > Envy > Greed = Lust

 

[MrHide-Patten]

Gluttony: because I'm a fat bastard with picky tastes and high standards.

Greed: I'm a penny pitcher and I will avoid paying for something unless I most certainly have to have it.

Envy: As a skilled artist I often look down on my work because it isn't as good as the many I find on the internet .

Not quite long winded thoughtful explanations, but hey, the last one is sloth.

 

[DementedSheep]

Definitely Envy and Sloth (unsurprisingly these two go together quite often).

The others not so much or at least I don?t think so. Possibly a bit of Wrath as well, sometimes I can be too quick to anger but I'm better at dealing with this one than the other 2.

I could probably do with a bit more greed and pride.

I don't really have much of a sex drive at all so not lust. I don't eat that much so not Gluttony either.

 

[Retsam19]

It's really weird, I was just thinking about this question not too long ago (like, less than an hour); it's a question I've asked in the context of Bible studies with friends of mine, before. (Yes, I'm one of those "hardcore Theists", corrupting the world as the OP puts it)

1) Envy is a pretty big issue right now for me; I've noticed that it's stared to undercut some of my relationships with my friends, because I find myself frustrated at good things going for them, rather than being happy for them. (Envy of roommates with more free time in particular is a problem)

2) Pride probably used to be my number one; it still can be something of a problem with intellectual achievements.

3) Gluttony is up there as well; not food so much (though I have something of a sweet tooth). Honestly, it's more of an issue of being too quick to indulge myself with games or other distractions when I have other more valuable things to be doing. (Not saying video games are bad; wouldn't be here if I thought that, but I sometimes play to excess)

4) Sloth: Some of this overlaps with Gluttony, playing games when I should be getting work done; I think I balance off by being motivated in the big picture, always trying to learn new things, taking extra classes, etc.

5) Lust: Fairly tame, but something I struggle with from time to time.

6) Greed: I think I do okay here; I try not to make money and acquiring "stuff" a great priority in my life, though partly I just have fairly simple tastes.

7) Wrath is probably my least; my temper generally stays pretty well under control.


It does sadden me to see how "hell" always gets thrown around in discussions like this; comments like "I guess I'm going to hell for that"; I never quite know if the person is just making a joke or if they really misunderstand Christian belief on heaven and hell. The Christian view isn't some Mass Effect moral choice system where if you get too many renegade points you're banished to Hell, it's that if you don't come to know God in this life (the only way to do so is through the death and resurrection of Jesus), then you'll spend all of eternity completely separated from him and his love, which is far worse than any fire could be.

(I don't want to drag this thread any further off topic than I did in the preceding paragraph, so if you have a reply or a question I'd love to hear it over private message rather than as a reply)

 

[Kevianz]

Fun topic, i like it

As far as my sins, i can't go them off all since time shortage so maybe on a later time, but the biggest would be:

GREED, I can't save money and there is always something I want to spend it on. There was a time where I just spended everything I could get on weed but I left that time behind me a long time ago. But still now it's no different really, I spend it on new games, clothes or go to the casino. I'm really trying to spend some more on my friends from time to time, cause they always have been very generous to me.

SLOTH, Think lazynis is a problem a lot of people are having lately, anyway I won't do something except when I'm really motivated. Like I would almost never clean up my room unless a girl came over. Good thing I finally found a college study I like and are motivated for.

PRIDE, Also been working on this one. But when I was a bit younger I could be very pridefull and get reall buthurt like when my friends made fun of me (jokingly). But maybe this is just something you gotta grew out.

LUST, All i can say is I like em: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNrYL0NTwRM (don't know how to embed the link in the post sorry )

 

[Redingold]

Sloth.

I'd explain why but I can't be bothered.

 

[Thyunda]

7. Pride: My weakest of the Seven Deadly Sins, because of my low self-esteem. I hate arrogant people, because they don't seem to realize just how insignificant every human in the world actually is, especially so in comparison to the rest of the wider universe, of which we still don't know the full extent. Then again, I do tend to be quite opinionated on certain subjects, to the point that I genuinely think people, such as conscious homophobes and hardcore Theists, should die for "corrupting the planet", and that their viewpoints are close to objectively being "wrong". The only thing I'm really proud about is that I'm fairly intelligent, articulate, and good at writing.

Arrogant people are not unaware of their insignificance. We just don't care. Why acknowledge the fact that the universe doesn't care? I don't care about IT, I wouldn't ask it to care about ME. So I'm gonna go ahead and take pride in the shit I can do, and if I have a bit of a swagger about it, oh well. If you can't outdo me, sit down and admire me with the rest of the crowd.

All three of them.

 

[Ambitiousmould]

Gosh, well here we go...

1) Sloth. I am soooo bleeding lazy. For instance I have a 1500 word english monologue to write for friday and, shit, just turned friday, better make a start. I also NEVER exercise. ever.

2) Gluttony. I eat truck loads (but still don't put on weight, yay metabolism). I eat when I'm hungry (almost always), bored (often) or just for the sake of eating.

3) Envy. But I don't get jealous of things like money and stuff, more of skills. I draw (cartoons and that sort of stuff) but when i see a really awesome, realistic, or just really good picture in whatever style they draw in (including cartoons) I am like, "awww man, I wish I could draw half as good as that" and then don't draw for days.

4) Greed. I like to spend as little as I can, but still want stuff, which doesn't work out well.

5) Lust. I am 16, so... yeah.

6) Wrath. I have been labelled as very unemotional and don't usually feel anything towards anything, but there are 2 things which can bring forth the hurricane of broken items, shouting, slamming and general tantrum or ranting that is me when I am angry, these are my older brother and, as I recently posted in another thread, Nick. Clegg. (I was grinding my teeth as a typed his name).

7) I am self critical about everything I do, which might be a good thing if I wasn't too bloody lazy to get off my arse and improve. I also end up either not being able to take a compliment, or assuming that a compliment is meant to be saracstic
