Which trait do you most dislike in yourself?

I repeat stories (like my mum used to).

Not always standing up for myself enough.

The fact that sometimes my mouth is a little too big and a little too open and sounds too much like a sailor.

How long do we have?

My quick temper and the chaos that ensues in the hurricane that follows.

I love to break rules.

I’m disorganized.

I worry that if I don’t challenge myself professionally I’ll lie on the sofa and watch old episodes of Law & Order all day.

I had to ask people about this, because I couldn’t think of anything, and the consensus seems to be: a general lack of self-awareness.

Impatience; the inability to savor the moment.

My cold indifference towards discarded friends.

Lack of confidence.

Being a bit mean now and again, too impetuous, snappy, bit of a temper.

I’ve learned to give myself a break. Everyone should.

Impatience. My dad said I was born in a hurry.

I would deplore feeling deplorable about myself.

I don’t think anyone should deplore anything about themselves. You can always improve things, but by deploring you’re putting yourself on a losing streak.

I talk over people all the time.

My inability to say no.

Deplore is a heavy word. I don’t deplore it but I constantly feel the pull of my old Midwestern ways of eating. Boy, can I put some pancakes away.
