Own up!

[Bluecheese]

Are you prepared to list your faults and failings?

I am almost perfect (Whoops, a million, or more, pigs have just flown passed the window! )

Here is my list as I perceive them.

1. I can talk for the universe and beyond.

2. I am not as patient as I should be with my husband now he is brain damaged.

3. I am obsessed with turning the central heating down, even though we can well afford it.

4. I get stressed if I am unable to perform my daily routines, I dislike change and worry if I have to do something different to normal. This has got more pronounced now I am older. I haven't been on holiday since 2013, not that I have ever really enjoyed holidays, even as a kid.

5. I am a terrible hypochondriac, I am always 'dying' of something. The kids don't ask me how I am, they just state, 'You are fine, Mum!'

I probably have plenty more imperfections but those are the ones which spring to mind.

My greatest fault is my humility.

One time it hit me that I had lifted my wife out of bed every morning for 5 years.

This might be a stretch or might even sound offensive which it is certainly not...

but...

1.It appears that those faults start in the mind. So one would conclude that if you can get your mind to focus on what is good and not what is evil (or just a waste of time...like worrying) then things would be a lot better.
2. We are told to "renew our minds" so it shows that the problem and solution is in the way our minds think.
3. Many understand that how demons (the devil) oppress us is by interjecting thoughts into our heads. Not exactly sure how that works.
4. If we can keep them away from us then we can spend our time thinking on the good things and enjoying life more. Deliverance does just that. Pushes them away for a while. You just have to keep up with it.
All of what I said is from MY experience because I was much like you.

Oh boy, I remember last time a thread like this happened...

We were all accused of being too negative

1. I have serious trust issues, so it can take forever for me to properly trust someone enough to get close to them
2. My anxiety sometimes overwhelms me and I will ignore everyone in the outside world for days while I calm down
3. I get impatient and irritable really easily even though I try not to
4. I argue with people on the internet

These sound more like quirks than faults.

I am really bad at dealing with failure. Like, really bad. I tend to completely melt down in a spiral of shame, regret, and self-hatred.

 

[Chesterton]

I'm way too snarky and sarcastic, and I don't like it. One reason I don't post as much as I used to.

 

[Locutus]

Intellectual snobbery. Cultural snobbery. Political snobbery. Academic snobbery. Cheese snobbery. Wine snobbery. Food snobbery.

Poor form, but can't help it. Life always seems too short for young cheddar, merlot, and morons.

 

[MehGuy]

Sometimes my sadistic expression isn't always ideal.

As a consequence I sometimes embrace emotion more than rationality in my thoughts.

 

[Vicomte13]

(1) Lust.
(2) More lust.
(3) The lust I forgot to mention.
(4) Wrath.
(5) Dishonesty.

 

[Upper Cut]

I cannot list all mine, I just Know I am the foremost among sinners...But I have been freely forgiven for Christ sake by Gods grace through faith, and that gets a big AMEN

Uhhh, let's hope you are staying safe, sane and consensual???

1-Having survived too much abuse, I still tend to self harm when feeling injured.
2-Despite God's AWESOME track record in my life, I sometimes forget to trust or confide or think God's mad at me.
3-I have PTSD. I guess that's not really a fault, any more than cancer is. But how I handle it isn't always great.
4-I'm too self-centered; aren't we all?
5-I tend to isolate myself due to under-esteeming myself. EDIT- It's not really due to under-esteeming myself; more of just not wanting to fit in with the majority.

I pray to God you get a break!

Hey, please don't call yourself stupid, as in "stupid bleeding heart feminist liberal". I have read many of your posts. Even if we have different viewpoints, you are certainly NOT stupid.

I can relate. I used to be the same way, but I'm not any more. What's your favourite wine and food, just out of curiosity? And I'm guessing you're not American if you have cultural snobbery lol?

 

[jacknife]

I lack seriousness and sometimes feel I'm too laid back.

 

[LaSorcia]

Are you an ESFP? Hehehe.

It's not an attempt to put myself down, I'm just using words other people have thrown at me in a negative way to try to insult me. I think it makes me feel more self aware, and also I think it's funny

Thank you for the nice words!
