I got a lot of bad character flaws. I am a very inpatient person. I don't keep my mouth shut and say it like it is but I don't do it unless I am 100% sure that what Im saying is correct. I am trying to be more patient and try not to tell people things like it is by biting my teeth through my gums at least that keeps me from saying anything.

lol, thanks Tamy...sounds awful lot like myself...
Hi Tamy, It's nice to meet you! As I read through the Bible I found something of interest that I had never really considered. We have two ears and one mouth so we should listen twice as much as we talk. This and my M.S. have both helped me not to care enough to respond when I shouldn't. I too am impatient and do not like to ask anyone for help; I also am a very private person and do not usually share my private life unless it is my husband or a true friend. Thank you for allowing me to share with you this very early Wednesday morning. Blessings to you and have a WONDERFUL day!! Your friend, Jo
I tend to tell it like it is sometimes and I try to do it less by keeping my mouth shut unless my opinion is asked for. It is just so hard sometimes not to say something...

I would have to say my fears are an overwhelming flaw. They prevent me from totally being me. I do get help, but it doesn't always help. I am still afraid all the time.

Any honest answer get top score by me! How can your honesty be rated low? Unless your admitting you did it!
Thank you very much!
tiggers, you are such a dear! ♥ If you keep hanging out with us here, you will become less afraid I think because this site helps all of us with confidence issues, I think..
I have a flaw where I take some things too seriously. I do get offended sometimes when no harm was intended but I do try to keep it under control.

i think you're doing better :)
I think it is BS that a question deals with an individual and someone rates it low! I mean, what your honesty is bad! lol I'll give a 5 to any honest answer!
I agree. Someone viewed my response as average when in fact is holds the same value in terms of honesty. Insufficient ratings are becoming a pet peeve of mine. Thank you for the rating. Your very kind.
I'm too sensitive and get upset easily when people attack my personality or physical traits, especially those I can do nothing about. But I've starting doing something really simple - walk away and count to ten. Is saving me major drama!

My Italian parents, their friends, and relatives used to have get-together when I was a child -- everybody over-talked everybody else, finished sentences for each other, interrupted, etc -- but they never seemed to get offended. Over the years, I've noticed that I have all these tendencies, and people do NOT appreciate any of them -- something that I have had to work on all the time. I just get so enthused when I identify with what the person is talking about, and I have to remind myself to just keep quiet until the speaker is finished. Old habits die hard... LOL!

It takes a REALLY long time to overcome those old Italian habits!!! ROTFL. I thought I was the only one with those troubles for a long, long time, but this too has passed...somewhat. It is like most other things Italian, it never goes away, but I really do try not to finish anyone's sentences (except my husband, and he finishes mine too!) by biting my tongue if I have to! I'm learning and I'm only 47, so there is hope!! :-) Blessings and hugs to you, Jo
At times I get so carried away I don't realize that others think I'm serious. I seem to come off like a pushy broad. Sometimes I don't stand up for myself, but I will absolutely stick my nose somewhere it probably doesn't belong to defend someone else. Gets me in trouble sometimes. Lol

You sound like a true friend! BTW, I think I know why the server at the church I work won't let me look at this question I posted...I don't think it likes the word "broad"...lol you're funny hisdimple..
I'm with DK, you sound like an absolutely wonderful, loyal person! This is a fantastic trait; I hope you and those you love are treasuring it!! Been there, done that! :-) I too have been a "pushy broad" all my life, a take charge kind of girl, so I understand that people don't always appreciate it. I can also relate to your not always standing up for yourself (I did it for years with family members, if you can believe that! LOL). As for sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, that is pure bull! Your nose belongs anywhere you feel it needs to be! To hell with those who take offense; you are just defending those who need you and whom you love!! As one pushy broad to another, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!! Blessings, love and hugs to you!!! Jo
You know, I just love the heck out of you gals! LOL!!
I was the same way when I was much younger, but I finally figured out that it wasn't that I was shy or really insecure, it was more a trust issue (for me anyway). Once I began finding people I could truly trust things began to change. Best of luck and may God's graces be with you! Love and hugs, Jo
I am over trusting of individuals that I should not trust. While this altruistic tendencies is sometimes what is taught in Christianity, it is not a very sound judgment decision. I find myself quite often being taken advantage of in more ways than one. Perhaps it is due to my avoidance of conflict but it is not something that is very positive in my life. Usually the results are such that even though I have done everything it is still my fault! Bad Deals are Bad Deals! Doing things on a promise is not the way to go about one's life, facts are facts and if they can take advantage of you, they will!

Vak, as Christians, we are taught to trust others, but we are also told to use wisdom in our decisions. So don't ever quit trusting others, maybe just be more careful...☺
One of mine is fully accepting a compliment. I am trying to accept compliments without ending them with my "come back" negatives.

My response was always "Really? Do you really think so?" I drove my husband absolutely crazy for years!!! I've only just begun to get the hang of saying "thank you" and walking away or just moving on. It's tough though, an uphill battle all the way, but I'm learning!!! Blessings and hugs sweetie!! Jo
Just so you all know...I didn't initially rate your answers. I just now was able to look at the answers as the server at the church I work is very strict and for some reason, I could not see this question or any of your answers at all today. I have gone in and rated everyone's a WOW...I don't know who rated them 1st.

One of my character flaws is that I have a hard time being consistent in routine things in everyday life plus I was inconsistent in discipline issues when we were raising our children when they were young. I can be the greatest housekeeper or the best at my exercise routine, or good at organizing daily chores, work schedule. But then something happens and I completely lose track and become completely disfunctional. I have always been this way...I try making lists, focus on one thing at a time, use a day-timer, everything I can think of to keep me consistent in my daily routine. But some days it just doesn't happen...
I can really identify with what you said. I have two speeds: Very fast and inert. I am either accomplishing a lot and doing many worth while things and helping my daughters OR I am sleeping late and watching TV. I have to make list after to list and work those list or I would not do anything when I am in the inert mode.

Those flaws from the Army are getting better, aren't they?
I've got a handle on them very good, BUT they can be brought out if backed into a corner, KID!
