I find myself drawn to thinking that most flaws are actually strengths taken too far. As with most things, the right amount is good, but go beyond that, and it's harmful. Within myself, I find that quite true.
I'm a bit of a contradiction. I'm either extremely reserved or extremely eccentric, depending how well I think I know the people around me. This becomes problems quite often. I either can't speak or I talk too loudly. Without a lot of volume/filter control, things can get out of hand.
I'm not particularly mean (yay!), but I'm not going to be the one to speak up in the defense of someone, especially if I'm with a stranger. I'm opinionated, but hate arguing vehemently, kind of because I can never seem to find air when I try to. Also, I love things too much. I become obsessed with fictional universes really easily, and while I'm not going to apologize for liking something, it can interfere with time that could be spent on more "productive" action (productive is in quotes because sometimes... we're not going to get into that, but pretty much, I have other work to do). So, most of these things are good in a little bit. Being reserved/outgoing (although that is not the word I'd use to describe my behavior) to a level is good, but I can never find a balance, and just swing between the two like a weird pendulum, that shifts based on who is around me.
Oh, and asserting myself. Yeah, I lack the total confidence for that. Whenever I try, I always feel like, for lack of a truly better word, an asshole. I can't really assert myself without feeling like I've wronged others in some way (which is good?!?) and then backing off almost immediately. Still, I can never apologize for anything major that I do that hurts someone (which really hasn't happened). Strangely, I'll apologize for bumping my head on your shelf, but outside of bumping into people/small things, it just makes me uncomfortable to apologize to people in an intimate way. That hasn't been a problem so far, and I hope it will stay that way (by me not being a meany-butt to people).
I'll say I procrastinate a lot. But I mean, I at least open the document/start whatever it is, usually a while before it is due. I also tend to really hate some people in my head, but it's only when I'm alone when I really dwell on it, and I usually forget about it when I actually interact with the people (can't hold grudges, or at least can't act on them, which I guess makes me not very strong in my position).
Oh, and going back to apologizing. I'm sorry, but I'll have to disagree on somethings that people may claim are flaws of mine. For example, I'll gladly make endless puns. They are literally one of the few forms of humor that really has to be worked in such a way that it either personally attacks people, or targets groups of people that have dealt with enough crap as it is. So, if you go out of your way to be personally offended by puns, that is your problem, not mine (I've met a few people who literally are offended by puns). Unless you are speaking on a matter that is serious, puns should always be fair game. I tried to make a pun in the last sentence, but nothing is coming to me.
Anyway, enough about puns (I can also get off topic a lot, I'm a bit frazzle-minded(edit: comma splice, oops)). I have flaws, they affect people, including me. I don't really like them, but for a considerable amount of my flaws, I really can't seem to correct them, but that doesn't mean I won't stop trying.
Oh, and to conclude, to improve both my day and yours, here is ***Flawless by Beyonc é feat. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (strongish language):
