Your 'Fatal Flaw(s)'...

Anyone catch that Shakespearian Tragedy thing? haha...

anyways, I am full of myself...so I mean...I think you should state the...not so great things about yourself... your flaws...

anyways I guess I'll go first...

I (am):
spaz out to easily (mostly over grades: anything below a 90)
Get Discouraged easily
Thin skinned (IE: I get mad easily or my feeling are easily hurt... more the first one)
Stubborn and can hold long grudges...
... wierd?

haha.... I'm just curious to see if there is anyone equally as honest am me... admitting these thing will bring you more down to earth... its goo to know what bugs you... and I'll give me a rough idea of your personality..
just negative traits please, so these descriptions will paint some not so pretty pictures of other forum members... don't be surprised....

Wow i'm like you in so many ways!!!

Like exactly what you said I am.

Also, I think I"m too shy, not a risk taker, boring sometimes and too nervous about stuff.

I am self-conscious about my voice
Sometimes I put myself down just to hear others give me a compliment
I'm pretty much invincible except this one spot on my heel.

I am a spaz.
I am thin-skinned
I am very spontaneous (goes along with the spazzing)

- I'm not confident and I'm always doubting myself.
- Procrastinate, obviously.
- Give in very easily, often to my detriment.
- Don't interact with other people; mainly out of apathy rather than fear though.

- I cheated in 7th grade and got away with it. Never since then, but it still makes me a horrible person.
- I'm also kind of crazy.

I procrastinate (like I'm doing right now).
I cheat quite a bit, I have little integrity, I hate myself for it.
I pretty cut-throat, more than I'd like to be, with my friends.

-Kind of an ass hole
-Cheats in tests, homework, and other things. I really don't care, but it is a flaw I suppose.
-Hedonistic
-Can never get to bed before 12...damn computer XD
-Too addicted to myspace.
-Can never seem to get in a serious relationship
-"Fake" with certain people I would rather be on good terms with but not talk to.

-I am stubborn, and it gets me into so many arguments.
-I am impatient. I hate explaining things to people because I get angry when they don't get it. Inversely, I get angry if I don't get something right away either. (The up-side is that I don't give up on it anyway.)
-I am selfish towards my family but not to anyone else...don't know why. I'm also a b*tch to my family and not to anyone else.
-The weirdest things get me frustrated, such as leaving late for school or people being sick. It worries me too much, I guess. So the flaw is, I worry too much. I think I might have OCD.
-I can be obsessive about certain things, from things I like to routines.

Yeah, I'm not too pleasant sometimes, but I try to be. I know these things are not good, but some of them I can't help-they just manifest themselves when I let my guard down.

-If I feel strongly about something, I'll pick fights about it.

And then lately this top ten thing (number eleven for the win!) has been making me realize I'm WAY too competitive. I mean, I didn't lie, cheat, and steal, and I know about a third of my top ten has in this latest scandal... I also know that GPA doesn't show how intelligent I am, and even if it did, I'm probably .001 points away from the top ten... It's stupid because I'm bothered by it even though I'm going to an amazing college and it will never matter again in my entire life.

I can't wait to go to Bryn Mawr where I won't have to listen to all this grades stuff and I can just let the competitive part in me die.
