We are all so quick to point out the negative stuff about other people, but how often do we turn the mirror on ourselves??
Is anyone on this site enough to name their own flaws??
Mine are...
I Can be very selfish. I am all for helping others, and being there with open arms, but when it comes to anything that involes Dan kauye. Dan kauye comes first.
I can let my natural confidence carry over to conciet at times.Whatever I put my mind to I make sure I become the best at. I havealways been that way since I was little.But sometimes being the best also means not dealing with the fact that there is someone out there better than you. :idea:
I'm far too loving. And far too forgiving. This is something I learned with my ex, and it has messed me up still.. :x
I will do anything for anyone around me, but for myself..lmfao..
I'm naive. I trust people very easily and think almost everyone has good intentions. :lol: :lol:
You get the picture,don't ya? Alright,the list goes on, but i'll stop in here for now
Anyone care to indulge? :idea:
Eh Dan Kauye
This one na self advertizement no be so? E be like say all yr faults are good faults.... :lol:
I have an inability to form close friendships because I dont like being too close to anyone. I cant keep up correspondences for long. I ignore ppl on my contact list half the time. In other words, I am not a sociable person. I prefer my own company much of the time.

Ah? True? Husna, did I read it well that you wrote you aren?t gregarious?
If that is really what you are, to me it sounds odd, contrary to what my imagination is mirroring you as and also what your post are revealing here.
I hope our great Senior Member will someday be able to accomplish such a humongous flaw. Amen.
I am gregarious alright!! :D I am chatty friendly and non judgemental. I also take ppl at face value. But I still prefer my company.
What?!?
Haba Dankauye...dont u want me to get a wibe?

I've always been amazed @ how diversified our personalities as humans are.It's a little unusual though,that you are a ''loner'' cuz I've always viewed women from an angle that basically suggests that they,for the most part,form closely-knit-bond with one another more readily & are more interdependent(emotionally & other wise) than thier male counterparts.I understand where you are coming from though..a little remiscent of my aunt ,who according to my book cud be said to be ''sole self observer'' or ''solitary''.
Im not being judgemental,Im as flawful(I know,I know that's no word) as you are..just stating my view.You cud start your social revolution by being friends with Dan-kauye lol.. :lol:
Another one of my several flaws ,is that I'm loyal to a fault.It's a dark world out there,that much I know is true..

Dan kauye aren't u contradicting urself here?
One of the best quotes i have ever heard
"The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none. Recognizing our limitations and imperfections is the first requisite of progress. Those who believe they have arrived believe they have nowhere to go. Some not only have closed their minds to new truth, but they sit on the lid."
~ Dr. Dale E. Turner
Are you recognising ur flaws so that you can change, or are you just pointing
it out for fun? cos Husnaa i dont see anything wrong with being individualistic.
infact, i'm a bit like that sometimes. And dankauye the ability to be loyal
and forgiving is becoming rare these days plus sometimes, being naive is
golden.
Hehe, u people if these are your only flaws then u must be almost perfect
cos gosh, they dont qualify as flaws in my dictionary. More like uniqueness.
Anyways, good luck with sorting things out 8)

***dead*** That's contradictory,perhaps I didn't get my notions together.I guess I'm less mysterious than I'd like to think..

Thanks for that brief clarification. But am still in a bit perplexed by your reply.

JUST POINTING IT OUT FOR FUN HEHEHE!!! :lol:
I however feel its a fault because I sometimes feel that I encourage myself to be left out in certain things. I doubt that I will change though, because I have found that life is much simpler when u dont nose around into other ppl's business.
Believe me I have lived around ppl who only want to know what intrigues u are up to because they are always hatching them up. I have lived with ppl who want to know whats bad about u and not what's good; I have lived with ppl who will size u up with a single look; when I was twelve yrs old i got into serious trouble because I said something that was taken out of context and I suffered for that. That single incident taught me never to say a word without processing the implications of it. I have lived with ppl of whom I knew and was aware of their dislike of me. I have also lived with some extraordinary good ppl, but as always the not so good outnumber the good. This has made me withdraw into myself, and in anycase, I learnt very early in life not to talk whenever anthing didnt involve me or concern me. and unfortunately for me, I am not a very inquisitive person. This I used to think was a blessing and I guess it is in a way, because it meant that I hardly bothered about someone especially when that someone wants me to be bothered with them in a negative way, like for example be envious and jealous cos they have something that I dont have or some such thing. However, being uninquisitive has meant that I missed out in academic brilliance :(
So u see Fateez, it is really circumstances that have shaped the way I am. Like I said to Muhsin, I am absolutely gregarious and somehow God has given me a sense of humor, because around ppl I love and trust, I seem to forever be making them laugh.

No one is perfect unfortunately, but thanks anyway!! :D
Ohhhhhhh, I see. But if after all that, you are still a happy person then it's
all good. Plus its good if you are just pointing it out for fun. I think i have
enough flaws to make Bridget Jones jealous. But then again i really dont
want to part with some of them because i believe letting go of little
things might make you lose your identity. I used to be quite self conscious
in da past. U know worrying about "not fitting in" and trying to please the
people that would never see da good in you anyway and no matter what you
do, they would always find something wrong. But then i discovered the path
of Da "I dont care" attitude and I'm loving it! Even though this earned me
a spot in my Auntys' black book and the "rebel" tag, I really dont
care! :roll: Life is so good! Plus, not worrying about what other people
think gives you more time to think about other important thingz... :D :D
maybe that is another of my flaws that i cant adopt the ' i dont care attitude'. My approach is to have as little to do with annoying ppl as poss. i make sure we dont cross paths often. On the other hand, ppl who are very close to u (like yr aunt for example) will never be vicious to u and I really mean it when I say vicious, cos that's the kind of attitude and reaction I am talking about.
Getting back to u, if u can really make Bridget Jones jealous, :shock: :shock: then I hope u have a Mark Darcy in yr life to sweep u off yr feet :wink: :wink: cos u'll need him....she is so scattter brained!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Kai, the turanci you ppl dey speak here. Sofri-sofri for us abeg. Aha. Ehm, this thread remind of my Uni days at ABU. There was this course, Corporate Strategy, and we were treating a topic on SWOT Analysis. The lecturess asked everyone to write down and submit 5 of his/her strenght and weaknesses. And keep a copy. This was to form the attendance register, where she'll pick them at random during lectures, call out the name on the copy submitted to her, while the unlucky fellow would stand up and read his/her copy to the class. On the first day, she shuffled the papers (much like someone preparing to play cards :roll: ), picked one and called out the name. And, horror of horrors, it was my name! My name fa wallahi ! :shock: You can imagine, in a combined class of about 500 students from two depts. Anyway, I braved it, stood up and read my copy. I can remember about 3;
1. I'm too much of a realist, something some ppl mistook for pessimism.
2. I'm always ready to jump into any argument/debate and take a side,
making ppl feel I always believe am right.
3. I put myself first in most situations.
Well, there. There might be more, but those are the ones I can think of now. :lol:

Long time Waziri; hope u are well rested from yr sabbatical. :lol:
I know what u mean by irritating friends with rational arguments. I get irritated when someone puts an indisputable fact in front of me and there is no going around it. :x The thing to do is keep the irritation out of view. :wink:
Being calm is a good thing cos u are not easily flustered and gives u a cool calculating mind with which to execute horrible deeds!!!!:evil: :twisted: :evil: :twisted:

Wow.So female.Please elaborate.Just outta curiosity ya know..
Well its true. To be truely horrible, you need to have and project a calm exterior that hides an evil interior. Its like the saying 'still waters run deep'. You mustnt let ppl know what u are all about, and if u have a hot temper, ppl easily suss u out and rile u and get u all hot and bothered, and if u are given to spontaneous outburtsts, then u can never be cruel or horrible because once u get something out of yr system, its gone for good, and u dont feel so nasty towards the perpetrator.
But if u keep cool and dont react immediately, it doesnt mean that you are not angry or haven't noted down a provocation or injury. usually what happens is that one goes and thinks up the best way to have his revenge on the person and believe me the revenge is always much worse than what is done to one initially. I am sure u have heard the saying that 'revenge is a dish best eaten cold'? (bcos u get more than yr one pound of flesh from the victim!! :shock:)
PS, I am sure Waziri isnt like that though!! :D :D

No u are not that FORCEFUL...but u make ppl sit up and take note at any rate.... :D; Not a bad thing at all... :P :P

I've always thought that there's a correlation between one's net persona & real life personality..Now I know I'm wrong..
