What is your biggest character flaw?

Personally I'd have to say that mine is being egotistical. Maybe some of you have noticed that on occasion. ;)

I can't read these forums and NOT be annoyed. Maybe I was introduced to the net too late. :(

Mine would have to be my smouldering bitterness for people in general. And I don't think my 'particular' feelings for religion will help me make any friends either...

I would have to say the constant paranoia. Then again if people really are out to get me, am I really being paranoid?

I let power go to my head.

Power. Power. POWER! MUA-HAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

/me starts aiming at random Generalites.

Okay, seriously? Hmmm.... I can sometimes be a bit impulsive. I don't always follow my own standard advice: "Think about it for a moment." I sometimes act on the spur-of-the-moment. Then, I have to go back and correct my blunders. :rolleyes:

I can't talk to people in groups, I always end up lying and trying to impress people.

Being an arrogant smart ass with no respect for my fellow man?
The general feeling of intense revulsion I get from being exposed to other people?
The fact that I find everything anyone else does or thinks inherently funny and stupid?
The fact that when the world descends into Anarchy, I am the man most likely to ride down the streets of a major city mounted atop a parade float wearing only my underwear with a human head in one hand and a beretta in the other (hm, I might just do that in a couple of days anyway)?
The fact that I've just listed 4 potentials when asked for only 1?

My tendency to get attached. What am I going to do once I finish high school and college?

I second.
I also hate people with BIG arguments and no education.

For me, believe it or not, shyness. No particular reason, but I'm far too obsessed by what people think. Amongst friends however, not a problem. I don't get shy when on stage, but that's like a different context.

Bit of an eye contact issue though. It makes me feel like I'm threatening the person I'm taking to. Which I don't always want...

A quick temper. Fortunately, I've learned to control pretty well by now, but when I was younger...

And a little egotistical, also.

A lot of my friends tell me I'm egotistical, but they're just jelous because I'm so much better, smarter, wittier, better-looking, etc. than they are, the ignorant fools.

This is a long list:

I'm arrogant and confrontational: I like nothing more to lure an opponent into a debate where I have the upper ground and then silently gloat as I win. Unintentionally I try to start debates like that as a habit, which makes me the confrontational part.

I used to never concede any points- now I only do so in face of overwhelming evidence, so I guess that's just being Stubborn.

I'm a Liberal, but that's pretty normal here. Unlike many here, though, I'm an In-Your-Face Moderate Liberal who instinctively wants to go after both the Extreme Left and the Right at once.

Same idea with Atheism, except I'm much more careful about offending people except in religious debate.

And I grow steadily more confrontational. A year ago, I could hear "I like Bush. He's done a lot for this country." and "Did you know that the Bible was scientifically proven to be compeltely true a couple years ago?" and just chuckle to myself because I was pretty sure what I believed was right and didn't care what anyone else said. Now I have to avoid making comments on the matter. Pretty soon I might have to avoid throwing down the gauntlet just in the middle of the street to someone I don't know that I overheard saying that.

Yeah, that was a long list.

One of many is to treat major problems as minor inconveniences ("Meh, I still have a few more hours to do that essay"), and minor things as catastrophes ("WHERE THE FUCK DID I LEAVE THOSE NAIL CLIPPERS!!!!").

I tend to argue for arguements sakes over pointless things, especially when stoned (stoned arguements have included the probability of a sequence appearing in the lotto draw, the distance from the wall to a tree, how many cards are in a pack of cards {which quickly led on to; do jokers and the contract bridge rule card count}, the eye colour of god, and the possibility of being able to make absolute blackness).

No sense of time.

No particular sense of the immediate outside world.

No fashion sense

Honestly egocentric (we all are, we may as well admit it).

The habit of chatting complete shit when drunk...... or sober.

A short fuse sometimes, as Chess Squares, Bodies Without Organs, Drabikstan, and a few others have seen.

Sometimes I'm naive ariund freinds, believe what they say too much.

Also having Disgraphia, sucks not having the ability to write like everyone else.

I have brainless moments... Such as when I put my empty cup into my friend's presumbly empty cup and spilt his tea.... :D
