    What is everyone's worst characteristic? Have you managed to overcome it?

    Mine's jealousy, I know that I've got a jealous streak and it often leads to rifts between myself and friends if I'm not careful. I try to handle such situations by asking myself whether I have a genuine reason to feel bad or if I'm being irrational. If I realize it's just jealousy getting in the way of things I try to do my utmost best to get over it and become okay with the situation, or else I'll just end up ruining things for myself.

    Your turn.

    I have no self-esteem at all, and apparently that annoys people. Overcoming it really doesn't seem to be likely in the near future - I've just learned who to shut up around.

    Um, let's see...my self-esteem is virtually non-existant. I'm a very jealous person, especially when it comes to friends, I'm ruthless, and I'm pessimistic. I could go on, but I'll just stop now. :lol:

    It takes an act of God for me to lay down a grudge. There is a hollow place in my soul where forgiveness should be. I might "forget," but I don't forgive...not for the big things.

    Little stuff I don't get worked up about in the first place. But if I'm really wounded (like when I was rejected by my family while coming out, or in dealing with infidelity in a relationship) I completely shut down and all attempts at apology or amicable resolution are useless until I find a different headspace - if ever. At this point people have to tread carefully around me if they want reassurance that they will ever see me again. I'm a constant flight risk.

    There's just some cold alien streak in me that has no sense of remorse or pity or guilt when it comes to cutting people out of my life. I'm a loner and I always feel a sense of relief when leaving people behind and moving on with my life without them.

    Most of the time I am compassionate to the point of stopping to move turtles out of the road, but every once in awhile, I am surprised by my own cruelty.

    As to fixing the problem, I don't have the slightest inkling how.

    If i try to be serious, I end up being sarcastic

    I do not know why this has been stitched in me.


    Also my voice, it is very loud, good for public address
    not so much for gossiping

    I think I might have mentioned it on the forums at one point, but I'm way more high-strung and paranoid than I'm comfortable with. I don't think it really shows, but way deep down I'm always second-guessing myself and mentally preparing for the worst. I used to run myself down over it. I'm a lot more sure of myself than I used to be, and I've really mellowed out over problems and "what may be," so I guess it's been improving over the years.

    I overthink things, a lot, especially when it comes to my social/romantic life. I'm trying to fix it, but I take a little bit of comfort in the fact that overthinking means I care.

    I really over-think things. Have tried doing this less and it feels good.
    Can't find a middle ground between recognizing my good points and sounding full of myself.
    Burying stuff. Not dealing with it straightaway.
    Wearing emotion-masks. Is "I'm fine" the most common lie ever?
    Can appear cold and rude without wanting to, I just 'watch' the opportunity pass by then thinkthinkthink about rectifying it, but actually don't.
    Prone to idiocy.
    Foolish with money, sometimes.

    I'm lazy, apathetic, and procrastinate. The bad part is that I can get away with it because I'm intelligent, so it doesn't damage my performance in class. In my personal life, however, it leads to chores never being done, errands never completed, and paperwork that piles up endlessly because I don't want to deal with it.

    I am a huge introvert. I'm so shy I hardly talk to anyone I don't know, and people end up thinking I'm stuck up because of it. I'm finding that the drama programs at school are helping though.
    But for people I love and care about I'm a bit over protective. If someone who I know is bad news starts walking towards one of my friends I put myself in between them without really realizing it...

    controlling my emotions. whatever they are, whether i let them out or keep them to myself, they kinda rage inside me and make it chaotic. im working on not being so affected by my own thoughts and drama outside me lol
