The fear that enormous potential will never be fully harnessed and put to proper use...
is that a flaw?
I don't know...
absolutely and its one of my fatal flaws.
In my high school yearbook we had to list our Pet Peeves.
One of my mine was "People who waste their talents"
Thats what I do now quite ironically, i waste my talents.
I am a musician, I want to get signed, I feel I have very good songs but yet, I cant be bothered to even work on them or record a note.
why is this? Who knows, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of having nothing left to dream of in case I get signed or find out Im not good enough.
Other fatal flaws of mine are:
Playing Devil's Advocate.
I dont know why, but I love to argue and I will argue anything.
If 50 people on this board have a position on a topic and no one is opposing their point of view, I will immediately jump on the opposite side just to debate. Even if I agree 100 percent with what those 50 are saying, i will do it just because.
I do it on sports forums just everywhere.
There was a time where it seemed Journey and I argued all the time, then I realized it was cause I was constantly doing my Devil's Advocate thing with her.
Ive reeled that in though but it still rears its ugly head at times.
My fatal flaw use to be jealousy but I cured that one.
I have poor work ethic, I was always a straight A student in high school for the most part when I wanted to be, but something happened and I started failing, not cause the subjects were hard, i just became bored and stopped giving a shit.
same with college, I just got to a point where I didnt care.
Ive never held a job longer than maybe 3 months cause I get bored and miserable.
Another fatal flaw is, I let people take advantage of me and i dont stand up for myself like I should.
