Every Flaw and Positive Quality I Have · 1:13pm Dec 19th, 2018

Every Flaw and Positive Quality I Have

As humans we all have flaws. I think it is good to recognize what they are and balance them with a solution.

Here are some of my own flaws and the positive qualities that balance them.

1. Flaw: I worry too much what other people think.

Positive Quality: At the same time I'm bold and am not afraid to stand up for myself or others.

2. Flaw: I often go with the flow when it comes to friendships and don't assert my own opinion very strongly.

Positive Quality: I have an open mind about learning all sorts of things.

3. Flaw: I have a hard time trusting other people because of abuse I experienced.

Positive Quality: I'm still willing to reach out to people and talk to them, even when I feel antisocial or like I want to be alone.

4. Flaw: I have barriers with communication which cause me to come off as being either superficial or really awkward at times.

Positive Quality: I have a natural talent for discussing complex ideas and researching subjects of interest.

5. Flaw: I can be nosy and try to fix issues that aren't my own, regardless if the people want my help or not.

Positive Quality: I like to offer advice, support, friendship, help, and overall care to the people in my life.

6. Flaw: I can be negative and feel like giving up at times.

Positive Quality: I am a fighter who doesn't give up, despite what I'm going through or how bad I am feeling.

7. Flaw: I am hard on myself a lot and beat myself up over things that have happened in the past or mistakes I've made.

Positive Quality: I take pride in small accomplishments like cleaning the kitchen or getting small tasks done for the day.

8. Flaw: I can be jealous and petty towards people who have a bad attitude towards me.

Positive Quality: I lift other people up around me and try to be as kind as I can to others.

9. Flaw: I can get trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts.

Positive Quality: I try to think of the positive thing that makes me smile every day, even if it is just finding a penny or watching a beautiful sunset

10. Flaw: I'm scatter brained and my thoughts jump around a lot.

Positive Quality: I stay focused on things that are important to take care of.

11. Flaw: I eat way too much food and am a little addicted to be honest.

Positive Quality: I try to think of healthy things to cook, bake, or eat.

12. Flaw: I take what other people say a little too seriously a lot and internalized things even if they aren't directed towards me.

Positive Quality: I try to think of good things I've done to help other people and focus on them instead.

13. Flaw: I can allow myself to be very hurt by the negative words, actions, and attitudes of other people.

Positive Quality: I press forward and try to reach goals regardless of what people think about me.

14. Flaw: I can be frustrated because of communication barriers and blow up at people sometimes when I am stressed.

Positive Quality: I am working on learning how to manage this by taking deep breaths and thinking about my response in a calm and logical way.

15. Flaw: I sometimes have deep hatred or anger towards people who have hurt me deeply and even think of ways of getting back at them.

Positive Quality: Even though I have dark thoughts sometimes, I don't translate them into actual actions.

16. Flaw: I can be frustrating towards people who are trying to help me sometimes because I'm not always the best at taking or listening to advice.

Positive Quality: I eventually cave in and take advice from people I trust even if it is difficult or uncomfortable to follow.

17. Flaw: I can be self-conscious and afraid to be myself around others.

Positive Quality: I use randomness and humor to break the ice and try to be true to myself, even if I feel shy or intimidated about taking to others.

18. Flaw: I push people away who I think are becoming too close or know too much about my life because I don't like the idea of people knowing who I really am and seeing all of my flaws.

Positive Quality: I am loyal to people who are my friend, despite knowing everything about me.

19. Flaw: I can sometimes say careless, mean, or cutting words to people unintentionally when I'm stressed or under pressure.

Positive Quality: I spend most of my time building people up and trying to be a positive voice in their lives.

20. Flaw: I avoid dealing with issues because of being stressed which often leads to the issues being worse.

Positive Quality: I eventually get things done even if it takes me a while because I keep seeking a solution to the problem, regardless of how I'm feeling st the time.

These are some flaws and positive qualities I thought of for myself. But how about you guys? What are some of your own flaws and positive qualities that balance them. I am curious to know.

I don't think any human is really capable of judging one self. We are either blind to our true flaws, or far too critical of ourselves. Almost impossible for anyone to see the true golden middle.

But I sure I can list some of my flaws. Laziness, hard time actually starting or keeping conversation and um... judgmental maybe? As for virtues well use your imagination, I'm not revealing everything.

4983010 It's probably better to think about the positive qualities anyway. :)

Some positive qualities I see for you are you aren't afraid to express your opinion, you are a good and loyal friend, you have an open mind about learning new things, and you are a nice person all around.

I don't care about the negative qualities you have, Lyra. I didn't even know you had any, to be honest.:twilightsmile:

4983019 Thank you for the kind words, my friend. That is very nice of you to say.

I think you have a lot of good qualities as well. You are kind, honest, a good friend, supportive, and a cool person all around. Keep on being awesome.

I'm gonna say the same here, I don't care about your flaws, you're a better person than them. Sure, we all have flaws, but some of us simply don't see them, or look past them and only see the person underneath them :twilightsmile:

It's always better to focus on positive. Solve negative and tada. Warm fuzzy feeling.

There were a few flaws that sounded familiar, I definitely have a hard time focusing and can be rather sloth like. I don't know what my positive qualities would be. Some others might have an idea but I might not think its a quality

Hey, we all got flaws. You're still awesome all the same, so :pinkiesmile:
