Failing
a weakness, esp. in character; a shortcoming

You have to see them before they turn 27!
Will probably be lucky to make 28.
My only questionable shortcoming/ fault is my modesty.
I’ve got a short temper and sometimes I don’t hide it well. Especially when I’m tired or in pain.
I need to be able to say “no” more often at work.
I get obsessive about stuff a lot - goals, hobbies etc. I need to chill the fuck out sometimes.
I get stressed a lot over what most people think simple stuff - meeting appointment deadlines etc.
I get emotional about stuff at work - things improving after more exercise and fixing my diet and learning to relax more/meditate.
What I don’t get is that I commit to people and say “yes” and try to meet impossible deadlines and also get upset when people don’t meet my appointment deadlines. I have to figure this out somehow.

I hear you on needing to learn to relax/meditate. Right now I’m trying to retrain myself to not multitask. I’m always doing two or three things at a time, and I want to learn to focus fully on one thing when I have to.

x2. I’ve read from a few sources not to multi-task, focus on finishing a task first then moving on. Setting time limits to finish etc. We really have to train our brain to think like this.
I let the little things get to me, when they really aren’t that important. Anything that steals focus away from your end goals isn’t worth the time, so i’m working on a permanent perspective shift.

lol, nice.
I’m too forgiving. It eats me up a little inside many years after the fact.
I can’t play online fps games for my life.

Lol…good point =D
I thrive under pressure and having loads to do and deadlines to work to but when the pressure is off I have barely enough motivation to get out of bed in the morning. I have been on summer holidays for about 4 weeks, haven’t bothered to get a job yet, don’t work out anymore, and mostly surf the internet all day. /noemo…
Telling everyone on TNation that I didn’t see value in Zercher Squats unless it was for function.

Ha! The internet is a dangerous place.

That wasn’t a failing. That was a fucking triumph!
They can keep their Zerchers, kettlebells, and any other archaic exercises and equipment!
My personal failings are many. I am an alcoholic and struggle with excessive drinking out of boredom. I’d been sober for almost four years until a hellacious relapse recently. I have since stopped.
I am also very egotistical to a fault. Really, the ego thing is just a thin veneer that covers my deep insecurities. As a result, I am overly-sensitive about many things and I tend to feel victimized by the smallest things.
I am not very understanding of other people’s wants and needs and I am selfish to the point where I am not that interested in anything that my friends have to say. I am not a good listener in this respect and I tend to dominate conversations anyways, so this can be a real problem.
A major shortcoming of mine is my intellect. Not a lack of it, just my very acute, inflated sense of how smart I am. I don’t enjoy having conversations about things I don’t know a whole lot about because one of my greatest fears is the accompanying blow to my ego involved with coming across as ignorant. As a result, I detest when people say something that is inaccurate or plain wrong when having a conversation with me. To me, unwittingly presenting an utter, obvious falsehood as fact is a blatant sign of ignorance and I don’t suffer fools lightly. I need to work on this a lot because there are a lot of times where I turn a teachable moment into a lengthy lecture rather than an actual conversation in which we both speak.
I am also a bit of a control freak. I don’t go with the flow very well at all and if I must do something I don’t want to do, I do so begrudgingly at best. I hate when people need help with something from me because I having to give up my time for someone else, even if I have absolutely nothing planned for the day.
