Your Strengths and Flaws

[Steelfang]

We have a thread for big fears, so I figured, why not have a thread for your strengths and flaws? A little self reflection never hurt anybody! (Though too much can.)

My strengths are... I'm never out of ideas, from a creative standpoint. I'm always working on a new project, but the flip side is that I don't always finish the projects I take on. When I do devote myself wholly to a project, I usually get pretty good results.

My flaws are... That I can be incredibly petty sometimes when I feel wronged by someone, and I have an especially hard time ignoring it when I see someone else being a total jerk to someone totally undeserving of it. I've been known to call out people on the bus for taking up multiple seats and not letting elderly or disabled people sit down. I have also been known to go to 'the back' at work and just stand there for a minute because someone demanded that I 'check the back' for this thing that I know for a fact we don't carry and have never carried.

Strengths are...a large amount of consistency, being able to walk away from unhealthy situations, working together with new people, etc.
Flawsare...not being able to see through people's pettiness, I can be so gullible sometimes, I get really down and depressed over stupid relationship matters, I get sad for so long and all mopey and it sucks, I sometimes struggle to start relationships, either I cant find the time or I just am too scared to get hurt or broken again...

strengths - being able to work independently, good with literature and analysing language, being able to make a lot of my friends feel better, creative, broad sense of humour, overall quite optimistic, quite forgiving, academically smart
weaknesses - can either be really happy, really angry or upset, finding it hard to let go of own past experiences (be it serious stuff or just a little mistake), aloof, gullible, paranoid, possessive, gets along with nobody IRL apart from family, but i don't really love my family or i do in an unconventional way, tired all the time, really bad at practical work like D.T. and science

STRENGTHS: I'm creative. I enjoy learning. I'm good at English (for the most part). I manage to pass most classes despite putting zero effort in. I'm a brilliant writer (apparently). I have a keen interest in true crime and clinical psychology, which I'm pretty damned good at. I enjoy reading and although sometimes I have trouble understanding because I lose focus easily, I'm good at it.

WEAKNESSES: I develop unhealthy obsessions. I'm unable to walk away from unhealthy circumstances. I get too attached and clingy. I'm not very masculine or strong or tall. I'm lonely a lot of the time. I'm apathetic towards life (nihilism all the way!). I'm not that smart. I'm not good at social situations. I lack close friends. I'm bad at talking, forgetful, unable to relate to anyone (all of which are negative symptoms of my schizoaffective). I get too caught up in my own problems and have to talk about them constantly. I get suicidal and angry really easily.

Looking back at this, I realise now that most of my weaknesses are things that can be fixed; I will try my damndest to fix them eventually.

I'm a very easy going and low maintenance person, I'm a quick learner, and am very competent. However I can be really arrogant and socially awkward.

 

[Nightmares]

Strengths: I'm intelligent academically, and I'm strong-willed with things such as my opinions or stance on social issues, etc.
Weaknesses: I'm really unmotivated and don't really have any passions or talents, and seeing others achievements heavily discourages me, opposed to inspiring me. I'm also a bit too problematic and my strong views and opinions can hinder my relationships with people, albeit temporarily. I haven't had IRL friends for a few years now, and my level of non-social-awkwardness has depleted rapidly - I have trouble with eye-contact, etc, and I have trouble saying "no" and will try to avoid doing things instead of just being honest. I also worry too much and I'm a huge procrastinatior.

Strengths: I'm academically intelligent, a good listener, understanding, accepting, kind (I hope), always willing to help people
Weaknesses: I'm incredibly incredibly socially awkward, too reserved, clingy, get jealous of relationships easily, kinda high-maintenance, and I never speak up for myself
