Two, really... the flaw I contend with and the flaw that other's must contend with.


The flaw what I contend with is my own laziness... right now I am typing this instead of getting to work.
It affects everything from exercise to relationships....

I deal with it... but it is not a struggle that has gotten any easier.



the flaw that others must contend with is my directness about my own thoughts and feelings. I lack a sense of politic. I don't do small talk or chit chat... could not give a fuck who is better at bouncing, kicking or throwing a ball... I tend to cut straight to the bone...
So I often come across to folks who first meet me as abrasive.


But I accept my friends, each with their own flaws, because I realize that I am asking that they accept me with mine.


The real fascinating thing about human beings is not how flawed they are... but how they compensate for those flaws... and manage to endure... to love... to learn...

For me, I tend to be concerned with what everyone else wants or needs in their lives & I end up neglecting myself for it.
Yup, me too last time I did that I ended up with walking pneumonia. :frown1:


I am an utterly lazy procrastinator. I'm smart and attractive and talented enough to get by with minimal effort, so I do.
Ditto! I do not beat myself up about it though. God made me cute and I intend to work that as log as I can.

I'm terrified to initiate anything with a female. I have come to realize it more and more as I try to get out there and meet chicks and I just get skurred...

Also, I'm insanely lazy.
K, you already know how I feel about this...confidence, man. Confidence.

A love doing for others and making them happy. It is one of my joys in
life. So, I seem to always put them ahead of anything I need for myself.
I would rather be the giver and the pleaser than the receiver.

I find it embarrassing when others want to do things for me, or make a
big to do over me. I would much rather it be the other way around.
I know this is very ungrateful and thoughtless, so I really do try to keep
it under control, but I don't always succeed.

And, yes, even though I am not lazy, I do occasionally procrastinate.
