Topic: What's YOUR problem?
Maradon!
posted 10-02-2001 10:38:00 PM
This is a slightly different approach to Geeorn's post.

What do you think is the one biggest problem with yourself? Think about it hard! Like Geeorn said, grades and such don't count. Neither does your physical appearance and other things beyond your control. I'm talking one personality flaw that you feel is hurting the quality of your life.

Me? I'm almost positive my big problem is my lack of assertiveness and confidence in real life. I'm too quick to take the word of others as fact, and I panic in social situations and stumble over my own words. I'm generally very quiet around people I don't know very well because of this, and I embarrass quickly.

I had a similar problem, except now that I'm bitter and cynical, I just hate everyone. I don't embarass quickly. I irritate quickly. So, in an effort to avoid irritation, I avoid social situations if at all possible.

Hence, I am here.

P.S. If my girlfriend's going, however, I'm going. So, I put on my Fake Grin of Steel and eat shit and keep smiling!

I feel I am overweight (medically speaking I am and Im definately trying to take steps towards remedying that)

I feel alone alot of the times IRL, not because of KaLourin.. but because of the lack of friends I have in general.. most of my social life has been gotten from online.. hell I met KaLourin online on a MUD.

I cant stand hypocrites.. I hate myself when I find myself being one.

I am too nice for my own good. I get burned by alot of people for it because I get taken advantage of. I believe in the goodness of people far too easily. Although, once someone throws that trust out the door.. it takes FOREVER to get back into good light as far as I go(If I am not already holding a nasty grudge against a person.. in that case most times forgiveness isnt an option for me.. yes I am a totally stubborn bitch). Not that my opinion of people matters to others.. but this is just as far as I am concerned.

- I'm missing the patience gene.

- Sometimes I get really...xenophobic. Or people-phobic, in general. I just wanna be alone. I don't really wanna go out and go to a party. And it gets really obnoxious when my boyfriend is constantly asking me if we can hang out, and for some reason, I just kinda shy away from it or force myself into hanging out with him...It's not because I don't love 'em though. I don't really know what it is. Just shyness, I guess........

My utter lack in handling the opposite sex, and social situation in general.

Also, my tendency to be really sensitive. I hate that.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

I always feel the need to say stupid or insulting things...just to get people angry at me so I can talk/bluff my way out of it.....i've been like that my entire life and it's sad.

I have one friend who puts up with me...

My fiancé understands me somewhat, that when I do an insult, I usually never mean it...I don't hate everyone, or anyone in particular usually, it just seems like i'm a major ass, and I keep trying to change.

Not that great online with females.....when I try to be nice or joke around, usually the way my words go, it seems like i'm hitting on them, which isn't the case. I try to be friendly, joke around and show some affection to the females, just because I like to think that deep down inside, I am a nice guy. Hope that's true..

*is really depressed now*

There is an ancient Iksar saying, that something lasts only as long as the last person remembers it. My people have come to trust memory over history. Memory, like fire, is radiant and immutable. Those who renounce the flame of memory in order to put out the dangerous fire of truth: Beware these men, for they are dangerous themselves... and unwise. There are false histories written on the blood of those who might remember, and on those who seek the truth.

i generally can't bring myself to think at the level of the "normal" person.

it's kinda like one of the new DBZ Episodes, Goten was just blocking all of this kids punches like they were going 2MPH and he said, "This is it?" as if he expected everyone else in the world to be at his level of expertise. that's what i feel like in terms of how i think. i just can't understand why everyone else finds academics SO DAMN HARD while to me any kind of abstract idea i am able to understand with ease.

other than that my second worse problem is that i don't take things seriously enough. i dunno, to me life is funny. i can laugh off insults that would have others screaming for a fight on the spot. i can grin away a bitching out for some minor fault of mine. i've never really seen this as a fault, but for how much i get bitched at for it i dunno any more.

I'm too proud. I won't ask for help, unless it's almost too late for the help. I can only accept assistance from people I trust, and I tend to break myself on a semi-regular basis because I refuse to ask for help.

I despise incompetence and ignorance. If you can't do it, get the h*** out of my way.

I enter into battles of wits with unarmed people, and do not give quarter. This one ties in to the ignorance thing...

Damn Kel...you just described me.

To add to that:

I'm an introvert, contrary to what you may think of here. I don't mingle with people too well (odd for a Leo) and more often than not, I get caught in feelings that nobody pays any attention to me, or likes me, or enjoys my company etc etc..

probably tied into the fact that I'm introverted and none to social outside of my own close knit circle of friends

I do the exact same thing. I get tests and assignments done in a fraction of the time, and then feel embarrassed and whatnot when every one else looks at me like I'm nuts.

In real life, I hate hurting people. I hate it so much that I will go as far as hurting my self in an effort not to hurt others.
