What would you say is your worst weakness of character..what is it that makes you less than perfect.. what has caused you to be this way?
For me.. it's my inability to see through the lies that people can create. I trust too easily. I believe too easily. I think everyone is going to be honest. Becauase of this I get hurt too easily..
This has changed alot over the past couple years ..with therapy.
Also i have very low self esteem. this stems from being belittled in my younger years.. and even later years.. people can be so cruel so much so that they can turn people into broken beings..
So what would you say is your weakness? What's the thing you like to change or fix?
I just finished my BA in Psychology and find people to be interesting and love all people and feel for those who suffer.

I would have to say my biggest weakness is my own insecurity. My insecurity has kept me from doing things I wanted to do because I thought I would fail at them. It has also kept me from being a social person because I am worried others will think I am less than they are...
I know it comes from when I was a child. I always felt left out, and put down. I was also belittled and was treated like I was less than others. When I wanted to do something as a child I was told I wouldn't be able to. It has haunted me since...

So you see that insecurity is caused from when you were little.. have you had this feeling even into adult life..like you can do anything.. or that you are still being left out? Have you spoken to anyone about the things that you felt as a child? Did you know that what happens to us as children have alot to do with who we are as adults.? Do you have supportive people around you now?

I am most definitely still this way. I still don't want to try things because I am afraid I won't do well at them... Only certain things though.
I have only spoken here about these things...Oh yeah, things that happen as a child, definitely shape who we are as adults.

You said a few things.. Like you are lazy at home.. why do you say you are lazy at home.. can you give some examples of why you would say you are lazy? Why do you feel ugly sometimes?

okay third time. copy. My main fault is not standing up enough for myself in minor incidences where say I have been overcharged.If its just a little amount I will just leave. I know that I should stand up for myself at all times. I hate confrontations over something if I
can help it. But I am trying to be more assertive and am slowly becoming better
at it.

Hatley, why do you think you don't stand up for yourself..what is it in you that makes you think you don't deserve to be treated fairly..Has something happened earlier in life that made you feel less than others?

Hi littlefranciscan. I would definitely say that I trust very few people. I've been lied to soo many times, It takes along time for me to trust someone. I don't like the fact that I don't trust people, but then again, they have to prove that I can trust them.

For me, it used to be that I cared too much about people. I think I still have this to an extent... I am always making sure that every one else is getting exactly what they need and often leave myself out.
However, I also think that now-a-days it is that I do not trust enough. I wish I did, but I went through finding out that my dad was actually a step dad and that my biological father wanted nothing to do with me, to my boyfriend (at the time) cheating on me and then being a coward about it, and then my Mom and step dad divorcing, to the guy I wanted to be with (who had said I love you to me so many times...) decided to not bother to give me time and ended up dating someone else.
So I have trust issues. I wish I didn't.
The guy I am with now is absolutely wonderful and if I could just get over these trust issues then everything would be perfect.
But till then... I struggle with it.
I think I just need to let go, live, and just cherish every moment I got and if I get hurt again then fine so be it...
We shall see.

Hi kementari. I'm sad to hear all that. But I think alot of go through some of the things that you have been through, so we can kind of relate. I went through most of these things, except for the boyfriend not giving me time. Things like these can hurt a person and cause alot of trust issues. I, like you, am now with the most amazing man. It took a while to trust him, but he understood and stood by me, and we are very happily, madly in love. I hope that you have the same. Good luck in your life's endeavors.
