Character weakness

What's one of your character weaknesses?

Mine is being able to give my friends good advice and being empathetic, but not listening to my own advice or taking other's advice for my own benefit. I have no idea why I'm like that. I'm also a people pleaser.

    That's good, I am with you on that. Part of me being on MFP is working on the whole package too. Gotta do more for me since I'm always trying to do for everyone else in my family. I've been neglectful!

    All the time? Haha. I could use a little bit of that hard-*kitten* stuff so I can set boundaries. Its so hard for me not to say "Yes I'll do that" and always wanting to ease the burden.

    Funny, example is yesterday: I was working on the bicep machine and I finished my set and then a lady came up and started using it. I didn't even say anything like, "hey I'm in between sets on this machine, lets work in", I just let her do her sets and I went to do triceps. But I did talk to her about a machine I didn't use before and she helped me. I just didn't want to disturb her or make her feel bad that she didn't know I was using it. lol

    I always felt my best AND worst quality is that I am BRUTALLY honest.

    i'm "too nice." when i was dating a girl in college, she left me because I was "too nice."

    i guess that's a weakness. generally, that's good - but there are probably times when I should get riled up. but i decided a while ago that i'm not going to let anyone dictate my mood. if i get angry when someone is around, that only effects me.

    to that end, i am also pretty apathetic. and that is probably my true weakness.

    I would define hard *kitten* in my case as mental toughness. There have been times in my life (personal illness, death in the family, layoff) where I have had to pick myself up and get on with it. Wallowing doesn't help anyone. I am more like, "ok, here is a mountain, this sucks, so where is the dynamite? I don't have time to climb it, i just need to get on with it."

    I see that as strength! :)

    I tend to be a little insensitive

    Too nice?? OMG I wish I had a guy who was too nice. Don't think that's a BAD thing at all.
