we all have our own strengths and weaknesses.. as we grow old, we try to develop ourselves to be better.. but as what they say, "no one is perfect". i believe that inorder for us to be better, we have to evaluate ourselves.. what are our strengths and what are my weaknesses.. for me, my weakness would probably be being a procrastinator.. i know i have to change this attitude for me to be successful and i am trying to work this out.. another would probably how i handle money.. i have to learn to spend within my means which is really a challenge for me..
what about you?.. what are your weaknesses?.. :)

i cant focus in 1 certain task because of my adhd, so I just do multi tasking because doing 1 task makes me unproductive. I also have a major writer's block, so i havent publish stuff for a long time.
On other kind of weaknesses, I dont know how to be charismatic and approachable, people are very intimidated of me, they think I will murder them or something.

sometimes i also tend to not finish the tasks that i started even though i do not have adhd.. since it is the first time that i heard about a writer's block, i tried to search it on the internet and you can visit this site for some tips to overcome writer's block http://fictionwriting.about.com/od/writingroadblocks/tp/block.htm
hope that helps.. :)

my weakness is also my strength... meaning i could either be very patient with a person, or very impatient, depending on my mood, feelings, current situation, the person i'm mad at, etc... it's like i go to extremes. it could be really challenging at times to control my emotions. i don't really have a temper, but i could be very emotional , lol, like when i get tantrums for petty reasons...like when i'm hungry or sleepy. i know it's immature. i'm doing my best to change it.

it is really a challenge for us people to control our emotions.. that separates us from other species like animals that just go with their instincts without thinking of the consequences of their actions.. :) there is somewhat a portion in ourselves that still needs some maturity.. :)

I think my worst trait is that I'm capable of being spiteful, but I do have it under control and choose not to do it.

My weakness as a person would be.. uhmm. I easily trust people. Actually people I know. They influence me easily and I don't make good in conversation. As a person I really do have lots of lapses and it irritates me. Good thing the quote "nobody's perfect" can always heighten up my self-esteem a bit. Too bad. I wish I can be more of an opinionated and dignified. Someday I hope I can beat that weakness! :)

I think my worst trait is being picky on people. My daughter would always get angry with me if i would accost her for why she has to do something that way and not this way that i perceived to be much more viable.
That being so, i would now think twice or thrice before i pick on people, lest i be upbraided for it.

Me too! I am a total procrastinator. It has been a long time since I first learnt the word in a seminar that taught me how to deal with it. Twenty years later now, I am still the same old me. Believe me, I have tried. Today, I tend to forgive myself and do the best I can. There were times in the past that I pushed myself too hard and felt really bad about myself. I think it is important to learn to accept your not-so-good traits and just try to improve yourself but not to the extend of making yourself unhappy and stressful.

I think that my weakness is that I am sort of a needy person. Emotionally I am needed. I like to hear my husband say that he loves me, I like to cuddle, and just have that one on one time. Sometimes I think I drive him crazy though, because of my needyness, but I don't do that all to often. I think that since we have been married I have become less needy. At times I don't see it as a weakness, I just see it as really being in love with my husband. Another weakness I have is putting things off for myself. If it pertains to me needing to go to a doctor, or make an appointment for myself, I put it off. I take care of others first, and then take care of myself second.

I don't like to think of my weaknesses. that just makes me see them more in everything that i do. i like to comcentrate on my strengths and my motivations more. that is what drives positivity along.

Hi ofabiana: You are right. In my case, I must admit that I am too shy and silent person. This is not good at all because you lose some opportunities because of being so shy and in my case I want to have everything in control and my financial is one of the things that I take too in control this is a type of obsession so I need to relax a little bit with this.

i think my weakness is that i am very sensitive. If my friends would not talk to me even just for a minute, I would think that i did something that made them angry. Also, when someone does not smile at me, i would think that i have something wrong.

L'am a hot tempered person, I can't deal with things too much. I make angry with someone very fast. There was a time that my girlfriend made cry because i shouted her. I feel so sorry for that, but I always try my best to overcome this attitude. I'm exerting my best things to do to be a better person.

I don't see any weaknesses in me or to reiterate , I see strengths that just haven't been tested because "no one is perfect" - there is no absolute truth rather every
situation has its separate solution from another angle - "all answers are correct "
so to speak. That is the attitude one has to bring because if you single-handedly
or individually are not affected and the world is your oyster , you control it would you say that you still have any weakness? That saying if there is a weakness it's not within me but in total constant searching and not being able to understand people very well.
