I have them, you have them, and Amy from Rainy Saturday has ’em.
(She inspired me for this post)
CreditSo my flaws? Here goes!
- I’m tough on myself. Like really tough to where I randomly replay my foibles from Grade 2 in my head, even to this day
- I leave junk everywhere around my ‘area’, like papers and bits of crap (I nest!)
- I could eat Nutella out of the jar (which is why I don’t buy it)
- I get a little lazy when I know I have something big to do (taxes, anyone?)
- I always get anxious and panicky when I think I’ve offended someone and then I stress
- I don’t call my mom as often as I should, I know
- I try to remember to floss and brush after every meal but I forget
- I like to snack, so I don’t keep snacks nearby or I’d obliterate them with my mouth
- I can never refuse any proffer of food no matter how bad it might be for me
- I feel horribly awkward at social functions with loud music and with the threat of dancing
- I am defensive against any conversion (religion, politics, eating habits)
- I sometimes judge people on spending, like feeding their pet $250 worth of treats when they’re starving
- I am direct not rude, but I know that other people may perceive it differently
- I have a low threshold for bad customer service
- I will refuse to pick up stuff like contact lens solution just because I think I can make it last just a bit longer… until it really runs out and I’m screwed
I’m sure there are more, but this is all I can come up with right now.
#6 about calling my mom more often reminds me to share this cute passive aggressive note with you:
Kat is currently living abroad teaching English in Japan, and although she speaks to her parents every week, that’s apparently not cutting it with her Dad, who’d prefer more detailed letters.
Rather than communicate this directly to Kat, however, Daddy dearest decided to use the family’s new kitten, Faisal, as his mouthpiece. The result? The finest in super kawaii emotional manipulation!
Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.
I cleared $60,000 in 18 months earning $65,000 gross/year.
Now I am self-employed, and you can read more about 
5. and 14. describe me to the nth degree.
I hate flakes, but sometimes I am one
I am a perfectionist in that I expect perfection from others (not just myself) even when it is unrealistic
My biggest work flaw is that I’m actually not that good with details. I have to really really watch myself on this, because I’m not at a level (yet!) where I can let others worry about the details. But I’m great at getting concepts, ideas, understanding new things, seeing what should be done in general
Defensive to criticism
Take things personally that should be & can be hyper sensitive
I’m a whiner (sometimes!)
I hate scrubbing/cleaning and thus my showers are often not up to standard
I’ll stop there, because I like to think highly of myself 🙂 But know there are many more!
Oh geez… where to start?! lol! How about my top 3?
1. I hate going into the “not so nice” areas of town, and totally act line a princess when forced to. *blush*
2. I won’t use public restrooms unless I think I may explode.
3. I’m horrible at returning emails… I have some that are weeks old waiting on a reply! Ugh!!!

* I’m such a perfectionist. It drives me a little bit crazy sometimes.
* I’m a great procrastinator… :'( I really wish I wasn’t at times.
That’s all I can think of right now! I’m sure there must be more flaws, but these are my biggest flaws.
I stress over major and sometimes minor things. Major thing right now is the hubby gets to reapply for his job come October and maybe get rehired. If not bye bye benefits, salary, and retirement sortof. I love the US job market (you still moving here?)
I think I should be “perfect” whatever the heck that is for my mom, society at large, my daughter, etc.
I eat way too much chocolate.
I am very, very hard on myself again see the “perfect”.
I still do not like my mom very much (long story). Trying very hard to like her.
Sure there is more but, all I could think of/come up with.
Thanks for sharing yours.
I let myself get really stressed out and then I shop which is terrible because at the end of the day I know this stuff won’t make me feel better. I went shopping yesterday looking for one item: deodorant. I came back with six bags full of stuff most of which I didn’t even need. I even wrote a blogpost about it because it got under my skin. I think women in general seem to be really hard on themselves, don’t you? Not many men I know are as critical of their flaws. Anyway it helps to hear your say yours out loud, and also shout out to number 1, I still give myself flack for goofs kindergarden and following! What is up with that?! So lame!
Here’s the link to my blogpost if you’re interested: https://blog.impulsesave.com Thanks for sharing.
I get too all up in my head and completely overgeneralize every minute detail until I borderline drive myself crazy. Gets very stressful!
Did you know that only 3% of people in the US brush their teeth daily?
When I get stressed I want to do things my way because I’m sure it’s the only way. Later when I chill out I see what a bad idea it was! 😉
That is sooo gross!!!!!
WHAT! 3%? That has to be wrong. That isn’t even just… meal times, that is once per a day!
I meant to say floss their teeth! This is why I shouldn’t comments at 5am!
