I'd like to know your flaws!

[tiny e.a]

Reading through AB posts I often feel like I must be the only person on AB who has, or at least percieves themselves as having, character flaws and bad habits. Everyone else seem to be perfect models of motherhood/fatherhood/sisterhood/brotherhood, always have great social lives, never let anyone down,be fit and healthy, always eat well, always do the right thing and just generally lead a life of perfection in their perfect worlds!

Now, while I don't doubt this is the case for the majority who will do me the honour of admitting 3 bad character traits they have? Things they wish they weren't or didn't do but can't help themselves sometimes?

I myself find it very difficult to apologise even when I know I should, I can be petulant and I am sometimes bolshy, oh and I eat junk food more often than can be good for me. All things that I am ashamed of (apart from the junk food, I just know I should eat far better) but part of me none the less!

Pessimistic
Worried
Nervous

[Goodsoulette]

I'm chubby

a bit vain (low self esteem but I will preen for ages to try and make myself feel better)

attracted to the wrong guy

awful with money

I smoke

I love my children, but feel guilty that I don't live my entire life around them (like some of my friends do). I'm a single mum, and to get a break or to go out for a night is a relief and that makes me insanely guilty as I have friends who are single and married with kids who would never say, its been lovely to not have them around.

I am impatient ( and getting worse with age )
I would like to live in my little family bubble ( as I like less and less of the people I meet everyday.)
I think the stupidity gene should be found next and steps taken to genetically modify 'carriers'. lol.
I am not that bothered about what other people think ( sometimes that can be a bad thing)

[girlygirl2]

Bad tempered
Moan too much
Always waiting fot things to go wrong
Dont have enough time for anything/anyone (including myself)
Pride
Make rash decisions
Stubbon
Hold a grudge
Will always get revenge, which makes me bitter.

Damn it, thats more than 3 bad traits......

Thanks for all your answers, I really enjoyed them all, and even though many of them reminded me of just how many flaws I have(apart from the coffee related vices, hate the stuff!) I somehow feel so much better!

Why have the bl00dy stars stopped.

[Doc Spock]

Aw thanks.

I'd never have expected many of you to say the things you have about yourself, it's been an eyeopener, thanks everyone for your honesty.

(sorry Doc Spock, had to cut it down as you only really gave one answer, two more negative character traits will get you 2 more stars!)

[Octavius]

If you are struggling Doc, I could come up with a few for ya!

:o)

[Floella]

I spend faaaaaaaaaar too much time on AB when I should be working. (I don't see this as a flaw, but my boss might)

I drink too much.

I'm overweight and too lazy to do anything about it.

Other than that I'm pretty damn perfect. LOL : )

1. I have no patience with stupid people, expecially at worl and probably customers.
2) I will not get in touch with friends or family first, i always wait for them to contact me.
3) I am too soft wioth my children, they are all grown up now, but I have always indulged them and they have become very independant and infuriatingly arrogant!!!!
