    This is not a flaw this is awesome!

    My flaw is I always say yes so others can be happy. I never want to disappoint anyone and I get upset when I am not treated with the same respect I give. I need to learn to tactfully put more boundaries in my life.

    I'm a grudge holder...for life.

    I find forgiveness very difficult and it's something that I'm working on. I'm not perfect so I know I shouldn't expect others to be either. I'm pretty sure that the reason I don't trust too many people is because of this, as well.

    I tend to become a loner every now and again. I will avoid phone calls and text messages when I just want and need some Donna time. I should be open with my friends instead of hiding out away from them. I am actually getting better at this though.

    I just simply hate my friends. At least the ones I hang around with the most (the ones I grew up with). But no worries, I am tell them this fact often and the feeling is mutual.

    I'm told I don't share enough about my feelings so I guess I'm not emotionally open... or something O_o
    (i don't really see that as a flaw but I guess my friends do lol)

    After talking with my bestest friend today. I have this pattern of talking to someone or seeing someone everyday & then i just fall off the face of the earth for a few weeks. Im usually gathering my thought. keeping myself company. basically me alone time,being a loner for a few weeks. This is a bad habit & is a major friend flaw on my part. Question to my MFP friends: What would be Your flaw as a friend??

    I must admit this does sound a little like me,I tend to see friends maybe once a week then I vanish for 3 months! I work a lot of early shifts 4.45am alarm calls then go to my mothers who does not keep very well do what I need to do there and get home to my own housework, husband and doggy by the time I get home I don't want to go back out. I find it difficult balancing time between work/family commitments. I often feel quite guilty about my lack of visits, but then when I go back and see them again it just picks up as normal and we have loads to talkabout.

    ^This too but, if you did something so bad to me that you made me hold a grudge then it's bad enough that it will last a lifetime and I'm fine with that.

    I do much the same thing sometimes. I suspect it's linked to seasonal depression, in my case, and has improved a lot in the last year since I started taking a vitamin D3 pill each morning.

    I am bad at telling stories of my life that matches their current situation. I usually do this to make a point and show a reason, lesson, or moral. But looking back I fear that they think I am just shallow :( I am just trying to relate and show them I understand and then I usually offer support. I feel like they think I am self-centered. I am trying to work on this. I usually stop myself halfway through a story, apologize, and just state the point I was trying to make with the story.

    Rape. It always ends in rape.


    I guess I am going to show one of my flaws as a friend here...sometimes I am just too brutally hotest with my feelings.

    This quote, I am sure was supposed to be funny......

    But its not.

    Still friends?

    that i hate talking on the ph and will avoid calls. (id rather text)

    Im also WAY too honest.

    Also, i can be jealous of friends who have it easy while I slave away, which is stupid, because im doing pretty well.

    I assume this is a joke and I don't want to sound like an *sshole, but, as a father of 3 girls, I have to say I find this offensive.

    I think Macaulay Culkin might tell you it's not just limited to girls...

    This is exactly what I do. For me it is a huge flaw. I am working on it too!

    I am too awesome and set unrealistic expectations for those that hang out with me often.
