What bad habits or faults do you think you have ...or do other people think you have?


I've been trying to think of mine, and one of my worst habits is doing too much at once. I start off doing one job, and then I spot another, and start on that while I'm still doing the first, and then there'll be a third and before I know it , what started out as one job, takes me all day to finish the whole lot....


I'll no doubt think of more later and add them,,,,
 

I'm very cluttery and have to watch carefully that I don't interrupt when others are speaking.
 

Oh yes that's one for me too CC.... holding onto clothing that's no longer suitable for one reason or another and then buying more..and ending up with so much, having to give loads to charity because I don't have the hanging space.. *sheesh*

This is me to a T. The only thing that helps me with this is to write a realistic ‘Things to do list’ for each day.
Im easily distracted. What happens is I get overwhelmed by having too many jobs on the go and sometimes end up getting nothing done at all.

Dont even get me started with all my bad habits and odd behaviours.lol

This also although I did donate most of mine. Now I no longer keep clothes for just in case I gain weight otherwise I have no reminder or incentive to be at my goal weight. I’ve got stretchy clothes for after holidays.
 
For a long time, I had a habit of being a showman. At the start of high school, I decided I would be larger than life so that I may rule the bullies. It worked. When I got to college, I was the life of the party. At work, I was the ultimate host. However, I'm a method actor. Pretending to be someone I'm not made me crazy.
 
So I'm told ..my worst fault is worrying over everything..

Even my daddy used to call me a "worry wart" when I was young.

I am learning to let it go...but it has taken years.
 
Hmm, nope, I’m perfect, lol.

I talk to much. Has anyone noticed? Hehe. I’m too generous towards other people. I’m an easy “touch”. Drives my husband crazy. I am a bit stubborn. Those are the major issues.

AZ Jim,

My husband and I just finished a discussion where I told him, again, about how I am too alone and how I need to get out with other people. As we consider where to move, I want to go to a senior community-mobile home park maybe. A chance to meet other people who are home durning the day. He sleeps during the day. He wants to move to the nearby apartments.
 
Writing lists for the next day that I can't possibly complete in a day. Finishing a sentence for someone if they speak to slowly. I think I started that after I was married. The hubby takes forever to say three sentences. I want to say,"spit it out already!"

The worst is learning how to handle our financial matters. The hubby has always taken care of this and he is perfectly happy to show me but I avoid it like the plague. I'm terrible in math and that doesn't help. I know it is important but my stomach gets in knots thinking about it.

I wish there was a way to learn how not to worry.I have been this way since birth and sadly I passed it on to my daughter also.​
 
One that I'm working on gradually is being able to ask for help or to accept help graciously when it is offered.

I also have many of the flaws that have already been mentioned by others.

For me, trying to correct my flaws is more difficult than accepting them as part of who I am. :):playful::eek:nthego:

You must have a Gemini Mars Holly. I do too. :love_heart: I used to not listen to people very well, but have learned to correct that. Maybe my worst fault is that I'm very single minded and when I'm into something I focus on it so much I neglect other things and people. Also I have little patience or sympathy for people who annoy or nag me and tend to ignore them which is bad because everyone is of value. Also I love stuff and have too much of it. Never throw anything away because some day "I might need it."

Lack of patience
Constant Self criticism
Viewing things in too much depth ( analyzing in order to understand) a habit I wish I could stop but can’t.

I have tremendous patience....

My husband is the deep thinker, over analyzing one..

I think that's why we work so well together......

My husband has little to no patience and a wicked temper at times but he’s a worrier too.
We usually work well together but at times we are like oil and water with lots of static. Lol
 
I'm a big procrastinator, why do something today that you can do tomorrow or next week, and then the list grows longer and overwhelming.
