Things that you are not proud of (About yourself)

This isn't for whining or serious self deprication, but more of a light hearted look at our own foibles and flaws.

Now I of course have no real flaws being essentially a god made human so that I might teach all of you lessons. However I do sometimes notice things that if left unattended could become flaws.

I am overly happy/proud when I'm right after being doubted. For example I got into an argument with my doctor over whether or not I had a perscription refill on my asthma meds. He said I didn't and needed another ($300) appointment, I told him he'd given me 3 refills and I'd only used one. I was told I needed the appointment though because that's wrong. So yeah guess who got a refill? guess who's so vindicated his asthma has healed.

I want to take more risks, socialize more, and just in general be more outgoing. But I can't bring myself to do any of that. I'm terrified of being judged, terrified that I'll screw up.

Almost everything except my drawings.

My habit to blame everything on myself and the fact that I pull out my eyelashes when nervous.

Me in general.

1. I am constantly plucking hairs out of my beard.
2. I wish my beard would fill out more quickly.
3. I am aware of the contradiction, and that hasn't stopped me.

I am not happy about my depressive episode. The one that landed me in my current academic predicament.

I'm pretty aware of the things I am hypocritical about, and I never claim to hate hypocrites because I know everyone can be one, but it doesn't mean I don't dislike that about myself.

Anyway, things I'm not proud of are mostly just how I've treated people in the past.

My temper. I'd like to be kind, humble, honest and generally an all-round goodie-two-shoes, but people keep pissing me off and then there's shouting and ocassionally some smacking about.

I had a blazing row with one of the bosses here yesterday. Admittedly he's a twat and everyone hates him and even his boss thinks it's funny, but still...

When I talk to my family I sound like a normal young man of my age. When I talk to other people I somehow become a stuttering loudmouth who sounds like he has no testicles.

There is nothing about myself that I am not proud of.

I killed a man just to see the life leave his body.

You guys never did that?

@Minda: I do that too. I also find it a lot easier to argue with my mom for some reason, then I get all meek and blank when I try arguing with other people, and most of the time don't even bother.

Of knowing you, of course.

I need a wider-reaching cultural reference pool. I only know geek things, and remember maybe two Shakespeare quotes. Trying to find some classics to remedy that.

I have a Never My Fault mentality I'm trying to get out of my head.

And when I admit it's my fault, I pull out the Guilt Complex.

I can lose motivation really quick.

I once stole $1,500.

I recently watched a theatrical musical about a ditzy blonde becoming a lawyer.

And I liked it.

My lack of self-motivation mostly.

Also not proud of my shyness and generally not being social enough.

I'm too honest.

My tendency to blame others instead of myself and my tendency to cross the line when joking around.

My general laziness.

I have a naturally obsessive personality, which of course means that among other things the internet is completely terrible for me.

I take minor insults, including on the internet, way too seriously.
