general What's your biggest flaw?

[Codelyy 1,286]

It'd either be that I'm a massive attention seeker or that I let my jealousy consume me way too easily.

I'm an over-thinker. I tend to really, really overthink even the smallest things, trying to come to the most likely conclusion which could send me into a thought spiral where I'm suddenly 10 years in the future and have made nothing of myself because of this one thing 

Sounds like anxiety. Have you looked into treatment or coping skills for that?

[Moon Glow 81]

@Artemis Yes! I actually am diagnosed PTSD and am in active therapy (minimum once a month)  While I'm very happy to say that after about 10years, I no longer require my medications anymore, however I still overthink too much  

[sprinkle nostrils 62]

Well, I'm too awesome. LOL Joke. =3

The thing is that I solve all the problems by myself. Somepony will say that it's not bad at all, but actually it causes two things: I do all the stuff much slower than I would do with help of some friend aaand as I waste 90% of my nonsleeping time performing some life quest I feel lonely sometimes. =/

I guess I have other flaws, but this one makes my life pretty grey. 

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Pick one:

• I have had emotional issues for a long time now. My anxiety and depression are both severe...
• My social skills don't exist. It's difficult if not impossible for me to even say anything to anyone I'm not adjusted to.
• I am lazy. Like, really lazy. To the point where I only really work on anything an hour or two a day. 
• I have a hard time focusing on anything.  Distract me and I can't regain my focus. Might contribute to the working problem.
• I am really, really weak and have no endurance whatsoever. It's bad enough that I can't do much.
• I have zero dexterity. It's so bad that spreading peanut butter on bread is a problem...

@Dusk Noire everything after the first point is often symptomatic of anxiety and depression. Until I got rid of those, I was in a similar rut as you. Could be that if you treat the anxiety/depression duo, the other issues will take care of themselves.

[Sonic Shimmer 4,131]

I'm very hard on myself. If I fail at something or things aren't going the way I want, I usually put all of the blame on myself. It's caused me a lot of problems with motivation and self esteem.

[TBD 17,252]

I'd let  certain problems deal with itself.

[Venomous 18,857]

I can be stubborn, jealous, insecure, and take things too personally.

[Brony Number 42 10,053]

I'm too perfect..... 

[WanderingStar 1]

I lack confidence and you could call me tsundere when it comes to relationships 

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

Come on, you guys. I'm shy. 

[Phosphor 11,527]

I can't multitask. I'm at my best when I focus on one particular task, whether at work or home. When I'm asked to take on multiple things concurrently, I can't establish a rhythm and do poorly.

[Lucky Bolt 35,053]

I’m very aloof and stubborn. And ditzy. 

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,592]

My anxiety, my lack of a filter, the fact that I'm VERY lust-driven, fear of making people upset and angry, my lack of focus, and my strict adherence to routine.

[Splashee 28,558]

Too tired all the time. I have probably slept more than I have been awake in this life time (it feels that way, but it ain't true!)

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,164]

Crippling anxiety and depression, extreme confidence issues and an inferiority complex, issues stemming from autism like social problems and trouble communicating my thoughts well, sometimes oblivious to basic things, I get worked up over things that do not matter, I have little to no talent (or that is issue 2 talking), I can go on like a marathon.

It is a game of 'take your pick' for the biggest flaw.

[TheRockARooster 49,615]

I can be too nice, depression and some anxiety along with paranoia.

[Magic Note 2,748]

I think from last time I posted, my flaws have been more pronounced than before: Severe social/generalized anxiety, trust issues, extremely low self-esteem and I annoy people too much unintentionally. In addition to my last post, I'm not even sure which one is my biggest flaw out of them.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,465]

My insistence to take on a problem all by myself regardless of how much it will exhaust or cripple me. Doesn't matter what it seems to be, I am so stubborn to the point that I would rather get crushed and splattered into a bloody pulp by whatever it is I'm dealing with before I would ever ask for help. There's only one thing in existence that I turn to ask for serious help from. And that's only when I'm dealing with an absolute dire situation that I know is far beyond me.

[Miss 6,222]

My mistake is that I do everything excellent people tell me I'm cheating....

XD jk

I procrastinate alot I guess and also get demotivated quickly when an obstacle presents itself. 

[Pandora 38,011]

I keep everything inside till i get an emotional outburst. 

- i’m always tired ik it is medical related but still, it’s so grr

- being clumsy and forgetful yet remembering every little bad thing rather than good memories 

- pushing friends away in worst ways while depression takes over me, this i probably hate the most.. cause i lost many bc of it and i cannot feel nor see when people try helping

Care too much about what other people think of me. I stall when I have conflicting views to uphold...

[Sunamena 426]

I have many flaws.

So many. But which one would be my biggest flaw?
I will just give an example...

I am very frightend to lose ponys and people that I love so very very much.

[Rafa Stary 2,462]

Surely being lazy, it's problematic to the point that it prevents me from doing things I would like to do or things that would benefit me, some examples:

1. I hardly finish watching a show or a movie series because of it, so most of them I simply stop watching in the middle or even in the first episodes/movies even if I'm enjoying them.
2. Don't play many videogames because of it, it can be a game that I really like, but my laziness just don't let me play it, so because of this I can just play the one or two same games in a period, can't play many as people usually do.
3. Kills my interest of exploring the world, I really don't like leaving my house, also too lazy to travel or walk long distances, so I prefer to just watch videos of people visiting the places I would like to visit.
4. Kills my interesting of exploring new places in the internet, it's responsible for me pretty much giving up on Facebook too, a social media I used to be very active.
5. Prevents me from learning new things I would like to learn, such as learning a new language, I would like to learn Japanese, but everytime I try it and I look at how complex it is and how extremely different it is from a regular language with words, I just end up giving up on it.
6. It somehow affects even my arts too, as much as I love drawing, I hate studying arts, I never tried to study anatomy or basic concepts, I always tried to learn everything by mysel (no copies or references as well) and for that reason, even though there are people who like my drawings, it took me 8 years to reach the level of art I currently have, a time that could've been much shorter if I tried to take seriously in learning it.
7. As well, it affects the drawings themselves, stuff I like to draw I can draw very well and without much trouble, but stuff I'm not a fan of drawing or that I'm not used too will just end up looking worse than the stuff I like to draw, with less effort put into them.
8. Sometimes it makes me sleep all day when I get sick, and many other problems...

This also seems to affect my memory, as I oftenly forget things that I just shouldn't forget, some of these being very recent things, such as what I ate yesterday or literally today (not this day of 07/16), so I usually need to write down stuff or ideas I have, because even my memory seems to be lazy.

In a few cases I don't know if it's laziness or just a lack of interest in something, but I believe the former usually creates the latter, 90% of the time it is the reason for why I do or don't want to do something, no matter how good it is.

Man, if I'm this lazy just with my nearly 20's, then imagine when I get older 💦
