Character flaws

I am far too meek for my own good.
I flirt up married gals way too much. I don't it because their married or are trying to cause problems, I just flirt, I flirt with every gal I talk to, I can't help it, facial expression, stupid jokes, I'm a goofball with too much charm for my own good 
I love talking to people and I'm very playful by nature, so it's what I do. It just happens that some of the gals I flirt with are married, pure coincidence
Also, I may have a bit of an ego.....

That used to be me. Working very hard not to be like that any more.
Also fighting procrastination, laziness, timidity and big-brother syndrome.
At least this year seems to have more forward motion than the last 4.

I've become a 100% mean son of a bitch. But that's only because I can't stand most people's indifference / indecisiveness or over-analytical state of mind.
Make a judgement call & deal with the consequences. Don't act like a difficult dumb-ass & then GENUINELY sit there and scratch your head wondering why no-one calls to ask you out or just plain can't stand your psycho ass.

I rarely forgive and I think mercy is overrated.
I also often put the interests of the friends I'm most loyal to before my own, which has disadvantaged me on more than one occasion.

I'm totally self-absorbed. I don't like myself enough to be narcissistic, but I really prefer my own company. I'm actually a pretty nice person, and very considerate, but if I never had to see another human being again I wouldn't mind. I'm becoming more like this the older I get. It's like I've been losing patience in my species the more members of it I meet.

I don't listen to people. All year long, everyone around me was telling me the exact same goddamn thing and I refused to listen. I was afraid to listen. I thought I knew better.
I didn't.
I didn't.
That's pure lazyiness on my part - nobody pays me to post so I don't check, and anyway, I've got the PhD so internet grammar nazis don't phase me like they do some people.
I tend to be very trusting of people. I generally assume people are good-natured and have good intentions. I'm also very forgiving, and I'm not gloating, it's a simple fact that I physically am incapable of holding a serious grudge. Granted, the above is with little things (family, workplace, school, daily interaction etc). This has enabled me in the past to be in bad relationships for long period of time (not being able to see the rotting situation while I'm consumed by it). Luckily, I found a person who is very much like me in this regard and put a ring on her finger .
I am very laid back and generally stress free, but my dreams are always filled with anxiety. I often dream that I am bound in some way or incapable of achieving the task at hand (simple tasks, like driving a car, or trying to put something together). Often I'll dream I'm back in school and I'll realize I had forgotten to take an entire semester of classes (or something equally as ridiculous). It's to the point that I really don't like dreaming, lol. Day to day, however, I'm very laid back, I work hard, and I don't encounter much stress at all.
When I was younger I had some health anxiety. Generalized, I worried about pretty much anything related to my health and it bordered on hypochondria. I was able to completely recover from this as I became an adult. I would definitely consider this a character flaw, because obsession over ones individual health is both the epitome of selfishness and a complete waste of precious time. There are reasons for it I can trace back to my mom getting sick (she recovered) and fear of hospitals/doctors offices-- but even that fear was eclipsed after dating a girl who worked in a hospital and suffered from early childhood cancer; it wasn't the right relationship for us, but her perspective on having faced something so horrible at such a young age washed out my own petty anxieties about getting sick. I include this because it is a character flaw overcome.
I'm ambitious and I don't respond well to being caged-in or stuck in one place for a long period of time. I like my surroundings or job to consistently change/progress, or I become stagnant and unhappy with myself and start planning my escape. Somewhat contrary to this, I am also a creature of habit with little things (food, routine, coffee etc.) both for good and bad.
There's my character flaws. I'm sure there are more... we all have them.

I don't know. So I guess maybe part of the answer is that I don't introspect enough?
I can be very indecisive. VERY. When it comes to the big, important issues in life I can make great decisions quickly, and in an emergency I am actually very calm and able to make rational decisions. But it's the little things I suffer with.
If you're my friend or dating me, do NOT ask me where I want to go out to dinner, what movie I'd like to see, what I want to do at home. I will agonize over it for quite a while. I don't know the answer, I just don't know! On my birthday my family always asks me what I would like to do for the day, and it drives me crazy because I have no idea. What I would really like on my birthday is for someone else to plan everything and not ask me what I want to do!
Even when people give me choices it is too hard to decide. "Do you want KFC or Burger King?" I don't know, it could go 50/50, I feel equally about both of them. Sometimes I will be in the mood for a specific thing, but that always seems to happen at the wrong time. We will be sitting at home late at night, about to go to bed, and I suddenly go, "OMG I really want french toast from IHOP right now!"
Very indecisive....

I'm paranoid to a fault, I take absolutely everything anyone ever says to me personally, and I have a hair-trigger temper but never actually let it out (think of a boiler that is always just *about* to explode but never does).
Oh, and I have a voice that sounds like a 45-rpm single being played at 33. I hate hearing myself talk.

That's pure lazyiness on my part - nobody pays me to post so I don't check, and anyway, I've got the PhD so internet grammar nazis don't phase me like they do some people.
a PhD in English?
I hear ya. I think some people think that one of my flaws is that I am a loner. I, thankfully, don't take it as one
I can tell
ps. try using better grammar next time. it'll prove your point better

I get outraged at things easily. Especially where there is an injustice going on. A lot of times I am going on and on while people are sick of hearing about it.
My husband and I have this thing where he calls me like Captain Jack on Torchwood - I talk to people and they flirt with me when I am just saying hello. I think its the Asian chick thing with guys in general. Of course, if it happens with a woman my husband likes that!
My sense of humor gets me in trouble way too often. WAY too often. Especially at work. Probably a good thing I am high up in the food chain there sometimes.
