A fun mixture of paranoia, rage, and bearing grudges until the bitter end.

Through the eyes I have known you.

Overconfidence. I just know one of these days I'm going to get into something way over my head, and not realize that I should be getting the hell out of dodge until it's far too late.

Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.

Either a frequent lack of drive and motivation, or the periods where my self-esteem plummets and some part of me is convinced that no one likes me and they're just trying to be polite and act otherwise.

I also have a nasty temper, but I've gotten a much better hold on that recently.

Easily bruised ego.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

Laziness and self-esteem issues.

Looking for some stories?

I'm not so much lazy as unmotivated. Though I am completely content with lazing around, I can be a very productive and a hard worker if I'm actually interested in something. I'm also a huge narcissist and sometimes over-confident. Which is a little weird seeing as how I also have horrible anxiety and trust issues.

please don't capitalize my handle. I just don't like it.

I'm too happy. I so utterly satisfied with the status quo that I never make any effort to improve anything, myself or my environment. This is going end up biting me in the ass when the situation changes and I've learned nothing.

I used to say I had ADHD, or social anxiety, or some psychobabble taught to me by Tony Robbins.

The problem, I've found out, is that I lack a real sense of self. I obsessively pattern myself on other people and tell 'em what they want to hear. It's gotten annoying, so they tell me to stop kissing their asses, and I've thankfully improved.[lol]

I'm a skeptical squirrel

I procrastinate way too much.

A combination of naively trusting others, having practically zero confidence without constant praise from others, and a frequent Guilt Complex.

I hate to say it, but I think my worst flaw is my under-confidence, thinking I'm really on my own, and wouldn't stand a chance in the world.

On reconsideration, the trait of mine that would be the most likely to lead to my death would be the double-edged sword of laser focus and zero situational awareness.

One of these days, I am going to be hit by a car while examining pavement gum.

Smile for me!

I have several, but my key flaws are

  • Sub-par directional clairvoyance when outdoors
  • Major Jerkass tendencies when I'm trying to uphold a Jerkass Façade and wavering on the facade part
  • I tend to have a hard time reading things on paper (I prefer using electronic means to read)
  • Somewhat of an aqua phobic (I never learned how to swim despite being 16)
  • Slow at working in class (I prefer to take my time rather than rush things, that is how I fuck up the most)

I tend to procrastinate horribly. I also have a rather nasty habit of starting things, investing an unhealthy amount of time and energy into it, and then giving up on it half-way in.

It should be procrastination.

I'm also clumsy, and that could be deadly.

Apart from inertia, irreliability and complete indifference towards non-immediate danger? Being an insufferable gobshite, I'd say.

Cowardice. I'm afraid that I'll get hurt. Physically, emotionally. Afraid that anything I do is a waste of time. Afraid that I'll fail. Afraid that I'll piss someone off.

Apathetic, emotionally distant, and just generally abrasive in a non-specific way (irl, usually not online).
