Greatest strength/biggest flaw

[TulipsAndSunscreen]

What are they? How old were you when you discovered them? Have you come to feel differently about them as you've gotten older?

My greatest strength is my fierce love.

My greatest weakness is my self-esteem.

They haven't really changed. I've pretty much known as long as I can remember. I want to give less fucks what others think.

My biggest strength is caring for others and getting stuff done. I can multi task like crazy and come through in a pinch. I was very self sufficient as a child bc I had to be. My parents divorced when I was 4yo and my dad raised me. I was an only child and carried a big load from age 5. My biggest flaw is lack of self confidence and not taking care of myself. I will literally make myself sick to the point of physical exhaustion. I've even been to the hospital for it. Fun times.

Strength is definitely organization and an iron will to get things done. I can crush a good list and easily think several steps ahead at all times without trying. My boss says I have a congenital inability to procrastinate.

Weakness is definitely seeing things as black and white and being too severe. I'm way too hard on people including myself. I never just make a mistake or forget anything, I "was stupid/careless/an idiot", etc. It's especially unhelpful when it spills over to my children and I'm too hard on developmentally normal behaviors or too quick to label things a problem rather than rolling with the punches. I know where I get it, I'm working on it.

Strength is networking and having a plan. I usually "know someone" and am good at sifting through a lot of information to get to a strategic path. I love researching places to live, vacations, and getting the best deal. The downside is I can be a tad overwhelming.

Weakness--I can be overly sensitive and take things too personally. Things that should be on the periphery of my life have way too much of an effect on me.

I am overly sensitive and a huge huge over thinker. It's part of why I don't sleep [MENTION=1889]SoonerTexan[/MENTION]

My strengths are my loyalty, sense of justice, ability to research things, and getting good deals. My flaws would be my shyness, I'm easily distracted, and I can be a big procrastinator.

Strength is probably determination...also known as stubbornness. If I set my mind to do something, I'm going to do it, and do it well - to the best of my ability, anyway.

Weakness is probably timidness.

I feel like I've known these for a long time, and they haven't changed much.

I'm very Type A which is both a strength and a weekeness. I'm great at organizing and getting things done. At the same time though, my type A personality often crosses the boundary into high functioning anxiety. I can't say when I discovered this because it's been my way for as long as I remember. I have noticed that I'm more anxious as I'm getting older though.

I'm also really good at entertaining and networking. It's part of the Type A thing. I can organize people and anticipate what's necessary for an event. I will visualize every detail of the event from start to finish to make sure we don't run out of toilet paper or something. It's such a relief when everything goes smoothly.

Also, I'm finding that not great at emotional regulation. I have a quick temper and little patience. Probably also related to being a Type A neurotic. That is also becoming more pronounced as I'm getting older.

I'm going to be so popular in the retirement home.

I feel like we are very similar, E. Except that I'm an introvert so not good at entertaining. But excellent at working a room. Not because I like it but because it's useful and so I will myself through it.

I've noticed my anxiety has gotten worse as I've gotten older, as well.

I'm definitely not an introvert. I used to think I was because I dislike noise and crowds. I'm self conscious and couldn't ever be an actor or something like that. But I enjoy making friends and having guests over. I'm usually the one who makes plans and invites people over.

Remember Monica on friends? She insisted that everything was always at her house. Her friends teased her for being controlling, a neat freak, and organized but she was warm and the mother hen at the same time. I'm such a Monica.

My friends call me "the puppet master" because I'm ALWAYS the one making plans. And I've been a "mom" since I was little. Funny!

I'm enjoying reading these, it's fun to get to know you all better.

greatest strength: tenacity or the ability to get sh** done

Greatest weakness: anxiety.

I think we are a bunch of high stress over achievers around here. LOL.
