That is to say, I will make sure everyone else (work, friends, family) is taken care of and ignore my own needs. And I will easily force myself to do the right thing for others but not for myself.
I hold grudges, though intellectually I know it's unproductive to do so.
I have a pattern of cutting people out of my life completely if they hurt me or let me down, and that includes family members.
At times, I can be a ridiculous procrastinator about silly things, which goes against my go-getter tendencies. Paying attention to details is something I have to make a consistent effort to do.
I have a pretty fiery temper, and though I rarely lose it, those times I do can be pretty memorable.
I don't like to attempt anything unless I think I can do it perfectly and flawlessly. Even when I get selected for a task that could involve lot of responsibility, travel and meeting people in interesting places I normally don't enjoy myself until the work is completed and I can access how I did. I am most happy doing things I think are simple. I think it could be likened to a type of creative or productive anorexia. Or in short I procrastinate.
I think one of the biggest Flaws is Not Knowing My Feelings...or being confused about what i'm feeling or seeing in the moment. I think that many Men suffer from this because Men have been taught to stuff their feelings.
I'm too reactive. I want to be able to breathe and count to 10 when something goes wrong (meaning "not as I expected it to go") but if I get frustrated, as when talking to a customer service agent who I feel isn't listening to me, I fly off the handle first, then catch myself and feel ashamed often for the rest of the day, and vow to do better, but it is much easier said than done.
Believing everyone should have the same standards as me. I eventually accept people for the way they are, but it takes awhile. Been working on that for the majority of my life.
