No onus on anyone else to do anything. You react to life, as it comes at you, in a certain way, and you said you perceive some of those ways to be flaws in your character. I'm saying others may act in the same manner, and not agree it's flawed behavior.

Everyone that has listed a flaw has been so hard on themselves.Most anyway have directed their criticism inward.

( to no one in particular -just an observation )

That's true Bruce. I didn't realize that was what you meant in the first place.

You're right sky. I wasn't implying anyone else was being soft on themselves. I was only refering to myself.

oh no. I didn't get that at all from your post. I was just thinking out loud. It was to no one in particular.

It's kind of like a job interview, when they ask you "what would you say is your biggest fault" or some such, and you answer with a negative positive. For instance: I'm a perfectionist. I have to do everything right all the time, and immediately, or my left toe hurts. It's such a cross to bear.

That leads to the next issue. I have very bad trust issues. It takes me a long time to trust, and if it's ever broken, I don't think I ever really get over it. I need to work on this more.
Yep. Me too.
