The question
Which trait in yourself do you like least?Originally asked
The Guardian, to a different person each week, The Q&A
The Guardian's The Q&A has retained this Proust-derived prompt from at least 2007 through 2026, and ABC independently put it to the Obamas in 2011.
You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.
I am a massive people-pleaser and it brings me nothing but trouble.

That I have no patience.
Taking myself seriously, even in a Vanity Fair quiz.
My personality.
I wish I could be more patient. I always want things to get done or happen now.
I’ve pooed myself a couple of times.
Dying when my children are still young. I know how much it hurt me. I was 30 when my mum died and 39 when my dad died, and even then, that was too young.
Big dick energy.
As a nice human being who gave a shit.
When my kids ask, “What happens when we die?” I say, “Do you remember the place you were in before you were born? I think we go back there.”
Manipulative greed and hate.
