there's a few faults
Same
- Slightly OCD
- Terribly Acrophobic (If I am on the 2nd or 3rd story and I look straight down, I get weak kneed)
- Sometimes socially inept / I go into tangents of talking about stuff that I am only interested in (not everyday conversations)
- I get depressed a lot because I would overthink things
- Athletic, but I have a bum knee
- Lazy, I try to get by on talents. It doesn't always work.
- I can come across as brash because I don't see the need to hide motives or agendas (I say it like it is, but I try to say it in a non-offensive way. Most people don't like to hear it, but I don't see the need to hide things that are clearly apparent)
- I am an extreme open book when it comes to my close friends (I have a hard time lying), but when it comes to acquaintances, I keep them at a distance.
- I get irritated when I have to explain things.
- Little relational problems irritate me because sometimes I don't understand that others aren't aware of the issues. Example: I usually think it is clear as day that the person is dealing with mother issues, with a low self esteem, and that is why he lashes out at women. It irks me when people don't see these things.
- I get tunnel vision when I work on a logic or math problem. I can't just drop it, and it can consume a lot of my time till I figure it out.
- I get the same tunnel vision when playing games or watching television, but I believe that spurs from my OCD.
- I can be extremely stubborn at times. When I have made a decision on something, I usually stick by that.
- I expect the same maturity/intelligence from everyone without realizing how irritating that can be to others.
The list can go on and on. One good thing about this is that because of some of my problems, I can be very honest with myself. If I have a problem or a personality problem, I can easily admit it, and try to work on it. That honesty with oneself backfires because I expect the same from others. They can be brutally honest with me, but I will also be brutally honest with them. Doesn't always help the situation. I can also channel that OCD into productive things. So some of the problems can be good if you recognize them and try to turn them into something good.
