I've got plenty of weaknesses, I think everyone does. But when you ask someone "what's your biggest weakness?" it's hard for them to answer right away. It's kinda like when someone asks you what you want for your birthday. Sure, there are plenty of things you want/need, but when you are put on the spot to think of something your mind goes blank.
After crying on the phone with my boyfriend this evening, expressing feelings of loneliness and confusion, I realized one of my biggest personal flaws. Trust. I trust people way too much. I have this one friend who continuously stabs me in the back. I forgive her every time something happens, and try to keep it in the back of my mind to learn from the experience. I never do, and I open myself up time and time again to people who don't deserve my honesty and friendship. That's why I get walked all over, taken advantage of, and confused about what had happened. This particular friend has hurt me time and time again, and instead of forgiving her and keeping her at arms length, I'm currently not on speaking terms with her. I guess this is the easiest way for me to prevent heartache with her. There's no "kinda friends"... only people who I'm friends with and people who I'm not friends with.
Another flaw I have is revealing too much about myself to just about anyone. If I just met someone I'll be open and honest with my fears and character flaws. I take what people say as truth instead of taking into consideration the other side of the story because I trust people to be honest and open with me like I am to them. I guess it's not the biggest flaw in the world to have, but it can be a downfall of a young woman in this world of pushing other people down to rise to the top.
I guess we'll see if I can learn from this...
