What's YOUR problem?
Twelve Volt Man wrote: I was thinking... it's usually pretty easy to pick up on each others strengths, but what are everyone weaknesses? Obviously, we all have problems, faults, or shortcomings. I'll start: I can be rigid, unyielding, and overly obsessive/ compulsive, at times. Although I never mean anything by it, I can be a wee bit sarcastic, as well. That should suffice for now. You?
Mommy2Isabella replied: I can be a bit OCD as well, sometimes overly bossy and sarcastic when timing isn't right
Crystalina replied: Eeek! I'm blunt. No sense in beating around the bush. I've learned to bite my tongue alot.
Let me edit to add that I'm not a loud blunt. I'm more of a "you ask me I'll tell you" kind.
Maddie&EthansMom replied: I have absolutely no weaknesses. 
Yep, it's a problem. 
Just Kidding. 
I'm impatient, bossy, controlling, strong willed (wonder where my kids get it?), indecisive, a bit selfish, unorganized....
 Attractive, huh?
lovemy2 replied: Like Aimee - I have no issues with myself - only with others - they tend to make me bossy, OCD and impatient
luvmykids replied: I'm a terrible procrastinator, thats the big one; everything else I consider a problem seems to stem from that one.
msoulz replied: Oh gosh, where do I start . . . I am a control freak - not that I have to control things, but they do need to be in control to my specifications. I frequently lack patience. You know, the worst thing is that I am not good at hiding my feelings, especially negative ones, and I speak before I think. This is a bad thing. That is why a forum like this is good because I can't type before I think! 
Oh, and did I mention that I tend to drone on and become a bore??? 
kit_kats_mom replied: I have very little self discipline. I'll always come through for others and I'm a pretty good motivator, but when it's just myself depending on myself...I usually fail myself. Sad eh? I'm also pretty OCD and controlling.
TANNER'S MOM replied: Well lets see, so many..
I am bossy, I have mood swings and it's never easy to tell if you gonna get the nice me or the mean me..lol I like to be organized but I can never quite accomplish it. I hate to say NO and feel very bad when I do. And if I am in one of my bad Mel moods, I don't answer the phone and I don't care who calls.
Calimama replied: I'm impatient, I can usually figure out the quickest way to do things,and I hate it when people do it the slower way, I'm not afraid to speak my mind, and sometimes it shouldn't be spoken. 
Our Lil' Family replied:
YOU??? Indecisive??????? Are you sure?? You may want to re-think that and get back to me!
I'm impatient-absolutely hate waiting on people! I don't do well at tolerating people who are not as dependable as I am. I expect everyone to follow through with their commitments as I do. I am very bossy and I have to have the last word! I can also be OCD at times as well. I sure wouldn't make a nice boss!
CantWait replied: I'm impatient, short tempered (although I'm much better then I use to be), and completely utterly undyingly sarcastic.
HuskerMom replied: I'm impatient and shy. Not so much online but in person. I guess I'm not as shy as I used to be but still a little.
Twelve Volt Man replied:
Are you my sister?
MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Hi, my name is Kelly and I am a complete slob. Okay, maybe not complete since at work I have the neatest workstation. However, my house is definately not Martha Stewart ready. I tend to put myself last in all things, which seems not like a fault, but really can be when taken to an extreme. Also, I'm addicted to BDing, minus the baby.
My3LilMonkeys replied:
I am exactly like this too- my house is a mess but my desk at the office must be neat or I just can't work.
Other than that, I'm indecisive, frequently unmotivated, can have a very bad temper, dislike admitting when I'm wrong and am generally just a little too weird and dorky.
lovemykiddies replied: This is not hard at all !
I am extremely shy, defensive, thin-skinned, insecure, impatient...oh gosh I need to stop! I tend to dwell more on these things, but I know there are good things about me as well.
flirtycuddle replied: I can be shy, hide my feelings, indecisive, stress way to easy over stupid stuff, can never relax fully,
cameragirl21 replied: i have this awful habit of getting really drunk and coked out, grabbing a big butcher knife and holding it to Vanessa Minnillo's throat all the while posing for provocative pictures.
oh wait, no, that wasn't me, that was Lindsay Lohan, sorry for the confusion, everyone.
actually, i'm a horrible procrastinator and have huge ideas and am very ambitious but at times tend to be more talk than action.
i also have a really high standard...for myself but also for others...it's often a standard that no one, myself included, can live up to.
kimberley replied: add me to the sarcastic list. i also have no patience for ADULT stupidity. i am very forgiving of mistakes if you own up to them but if someone continues to deny something is their fault as an adult.. i have no mercy. adults have the choice to respond badly or not. i also cannot stand hypocrits and people who expect everyone around them to be perfect but they are completely messed up themselves. i rarely strike first but when you get me going, it's hard to get me to stop. the "vault" of everything one has ever done wrong opens up. guess i can be too honest. and i am insecure about my weight.
mom21kid2dogs replied: I'm the most subborn person I know if I "dig in" on something. Also, I was born for the last minute. It almost always works for me, but it drives all my OCD friends (and husband) crazy!!!
lisar replied: I am bit**y, I nag when I want something done and if it isnt done right away see the first thing i listed. I have no patience for stupid people, (I am with ya on that one Kimberly) I hide my emotions and let them build up and then explode. I am quick to snap on someone (adults for the record) Okay thats all I can think of right now I will add more later.
TheOaf66 replied: well I am sarcastic but I see that as everyone else's problem and not mine
I do have a bit of a temper when I get frustrated and tend to hit or throw things (always things and not people but I think it is cuz I am a guy)
I am competitive
I don't speak up enough when I am getting screwed by companies, other people, etc (thought I should clarify for the other sarcastics out there)
hawkshoe replied: I have a horrible habit of talking to much. You know, when someone tells me something, I always have to come back with a story of my own. I am working very hard on breaking this. Afterall, it isn't about me, it is about the person who is telling me their story.
Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Ditto.... too bad my husband doesn't share the sentiment.
Ah well. Batteries are my friend. (jk!)
I'm very cynical. For the things that *I* control, I like them done the way I like. I do the cooking and most of the cleaning, so I like it done a certain way. Irritates me to NO END when DH or someone else doesnt do it *right*.
moped replied: I am very stubborn! Or at least that is what I have been told 
Kaitlin'smom replied: I am still thinking but I guess I am somewhat of a pushover, I am always last, a bit of a procrastinator....mainly with cleaning. In fact I do hate cleaning. I am easly annoyed anymore. I act happy, whenI woul say a good part of the time I am not, I have let stress get to me way to much, I have no outlet to releive stress, boy I sound like a mess huh?
indywndy_04 replied: I can be quick to judge and if you say something I dont like, I am not shy to comment on it and tell you how I feel...sometimes before I think! ugh 
coasterqueen replied:  Let's see, where shall I begin?
Well besides being perfect and I will never admit to any weakness here are a few...
stubborn, indecisive, anal, my-way-or-the-highway, controlling, impatient, I expect everyone else to be neat, etc - but I'm not myself, somewhat obsessive when it comes to some things, some say I'm sarcastic - I just think I'm funny , bad temper.....Yep, that about wraps up perfection into one nice little neat package.
jcc64 replied: Well, where should I start? I'm physiologically high strung, sometimes I can actually feel the adreneline coursing through my veins, but I also happen to be pretty lazy in alot of ways, so I'm often all revved up with no place to go. I'm a typically impatient, slightly rude New Yorker- I have no patience for bad service or inefficiency, and have no problem saying it out loud, which totally mortifies my husband. Sometimes, I don't know when to shut up. And I'm a bad housewife.
this list could just go on and on- how much time do you have?
moped replied:
You need you hook up with my DH!!!!!!!!
Crystalina replied:
What is BDing? I've been here for awhile and don't know that one. 
Boo&BugsMom replied: Ummm...well, I am sure hubby would add a few more, but off the top of my head...I am a control freak, I want things done right away when I ask, I have major OCD about things being in order and clean, I'm very stubborn, and I stress out way too much about little things.
MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
Baby dancing.
gr33n3y3z replied: I judge ppl. and I'm about 90% right
I tell ppl. the way it is .... I dont even have to know them 
Sometimes I dont even like myself bc I'm so blasted truthful ( Open mouth and Insert Foot) But thats me
MotherForever2043 replied: I am such a neat freak, I like to speak my mind. If someone does something wrong to me or anyone I know, I will tell them what I have to say. for example, I went to Dunkin Donuts the other day and ordered a a small coffee coolata w/ whipped cream on top( ) I had Esther go in and by it for me. When she came back there was no whipped cream! I was really mad! Don't mess with a pregnant women's coffeee! Esther isn't like me at all so she just came back and gave it to me and wouldn't go back and fix my order. So, I got out of the car with the coffee and demanded some whipped cream. I yelled and cussed at the lady in there in front of everyone. Did I mention that it was 6:00 am. Which means it was packed. But, I didn't care, I wanted my whipped cream  What a story.
~Roo'sMama~ replied: I'm a horrible housekeeper. Probably because my main weakness is I tend to be lazy and I'd rather read a book than clean.
CantWait replied:
 I see we both have great personalities eh.
Mommyof3 replied: I am an OCD housekeeper and I guess my biggest problem is that my house IS Martha Stewart ready, but I don't want anyone coming over!!! LOL, okay, but that's true. I don't know why...When I was teaching, I got a room twice that other teachers had taught in and I completely gutted them because they weren't up to my standards.
I also don't speak my mind a lot of times trying to avoid confrontation...but later I always wish I had. I went Tom Cruise on a pharmasist once, but never anything past that.
I'm too laid back, it takes a lot to get me mad, I have to be in control of what I think the important things are, as much as I try and be on time 5% of the time, it just doesn't happen and that drives me crazy! The only other thing I can think of is I am a perfectionist and I tend to over-obsess on a lot of little things.
I think that's all! That was really helpful in realizing what a NUT JOB I really am!  LOL
msoulz replied: The thing about this thread is that it makes me feel not so badly about myself. I'm not sure that is a good or bad thing? Or is feeling better about myself by seeing everyone else confess their weaknesses another of my weaknesses?????
redchief replied: They've coined a new word for me at work. What's a Grumpalupagus?
redchief replied:
Whoa... Too deep... Going to... break down... oooOOOOoooo.
luvmykids replied:
Ed, I can't believe that for a second.
