Yeah, but only to a point. If you're worrying about other people so much that you forget about yourself (like Nikki mentioned), then that's not really a good thing. If you're too forgiving, people will take advantage of the fact that you shrug things off easily.

Which is probably why people posted these things as flaws.

i'm the exact opposite. i don't forgive people easily. i just can't forgive people when they hurt/betray me.ever.

I forgive people, but I'm an ass about it.

Hyyyyyyyper sensitive.

aka emo.

Cass makes my things much bigger than they really are.

I don't know, this could quickly turn into a "everything I hate about myself thread".

But, a few things I think are flaws in myself:

I am overly self conscience, sometimes it's to the point of embarassment for no real reason.

I am extremely competitive. Despite self consciensness, if it means a competition, I will probably force myself to do it. Or maybe there is no real competition but I make into one.

I can't find middle ground when it comes to worrying about things. I either tend to not deal with things, or I worry to the point where I get hives (which is often).

There ya go.

you shouldn't hate yourself CASS. It is the root of all health problems. It took me along time to get rid of the negativity. It only brings you down and isn't healthy. I am self consciences also. I am not competetive. Never really was. What you need to do on the worry front is just take deep breaths and say- this isn't as bad as it seems and I will get through this. I try to look at things in a postive light now. It isn't easy, but it does change your outlook on things.

If it helps I like you Cass.

My flaws.... I'm fairly insecure, I am incredibly shy, to the point where if I don't know someone I'll stare at my feet and grunt when spoken to, but no more, aaaand... I dunno, I'm sure there's lots more.

No, I didn't mean I hate myself...I hate those things ABOUT myself.

But thanks, I like to be liked
