Perfection is disqualified from the answers.
My humility in spite of being perfect.
Ah, modest as ever.
This I can't help. It's my one great failing.
Humility AND modesty?
Shyness, too. I cower in fear at the thought of meeting someone new.
Giving up easily on certain aspects of life. I'm not a fighter at times.... feel that I should have more spunk in my soul.
Are we talking physical or mental because in order to know the mental with me one must know the physical.
Damn deep, Sportsdude. DEEP.
Lets see I'll start with physical.
I was born with a birth defect commonly known as funnel chest but medically known as pectus excavatum which sadly looks like it runs hereditary in my family. My cousin (girl), her baby, my dad, my uncle and I all have this. I had surgery for it about 8 years ago. The hole is gone but the self-conscious awareness is still there but now its better thanks to chest hair which has covered up the surgery scares.
Here's a little info on pectus excavatum:
Estimates vary, but pectus excavatum, or funnel chest, is thought to occur in one of every 600 to 2,000 newborns. It is caused by an overgrowth of cartilage between the sternum and the ribs, which causes the bone to turn inward. Only 15% undergo surgery to repair the sunken grooves and concave appearance that mark their bodies, usually for life. Many children will start to experience symptoms around school age, and often they complain of shortness of breath and reduced endurance. Many are extremely self-conscious about their appearance, don't participate in sports, and will not wear bathing suits; boys often refuse to go shirtless. The disorder is twice as common in men than women and can run in families
Now the mental. Already shy that (above) doesn't help. But I'll move on. Next is my ADD/HD and history of depression. I'm the smartest kid in the room (or so they say) but I do not apply myself and I tend to give up and hide. I struggle for will power. Something which my sister doesn't struggle with, its what runs her.
My sister didn't talk until about 2 or hear anything until about 3. Doctors said she could be deaf. She also has severly learning disabilities something which I never had. She struggles and struggles to get through school and works until its done and when its done she ends up getting only a C on a paper (although she's got a 3.2 something while I always was around 2.5). She has come along way. Parents really proud of her and so am I (even if she won't talk to me). But she has the one thing I'm missing. And I hate that while I have the one thing she's missing and she hates that (so I've been told). Could learn a lot from each other but she refuses to talk to me (publicly anyway).
Bottom line: I had the brains but not the will power while she learning processing problems, learning disabilities and so on but runs on only one thing will power.
What do you least like about yourself?
I despise the fact that I'm not super-handsome and incredibly wealthy. I really, really hate that about myself.
I wouldn't know about wealthy, but I'm sure that you are being far too modest and really are a modern-day Adonis.
Too shy and quiet. Too lazy to follow through (or even try) great ideas or skills.
I'm a procrastinator. I hate this about myself. I suppose the only saving grace in this 'flaw' is that I never do nothing during the time I'm putting something else off. (if that makes any sense). But it's still most annoying, because I even recognize BEFORE the fact, that I'm going to procrastinate on certain 'tasks'.
I comfort myself by throwing myself into other tasks, which allows myself to believe that I'm not getting down to business on somethings, because I'M BUSY with other things.....but I know the truth. (I know how obsure that sounds, but I let it make sense to me)
I'm the same way. When there's a task I truly dislike, such as ironing, I'll find a host of other things that I would rather do, and ironing goes to the bottom of the list. Once I get started, I'm fine, but the setting up beforehand irks me.
Just as I thought, everyone here really is extremely congenial.
What I dislike most about myself:
1) My ability to work very hard so that a golden opportunity will come my way, and when it does, my subsequent haste to turn my back on it.
2) My inability to withstand emotional blackmail.
3) Evading the fact that within the next couple of years I have a HUGE decision to make.
4) My far too often failure to resist the urge to interrupt when someone's talking to me (especially when an interesting subject is involved)
My addiction to granny porn. I masturbate to it every chance I get. It keeps me from being as productive as I could be.
Well, it's nice to have a hobby, Pinworm.

He doesn't say much, but when he does, I usually spit out the contents of whatever might be in my mouth at the time. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Other/5.gif)

Let me guess: you live in Vancouver, right?
God, Canadians are so f*cking cold. Why is it that the occasional affectionate hug or arm around the shoulders is perfectly normal (even between strangers in some circumstances) less than a hundred kilometres to the South, but here it has to have a sexual connotation? You'd think we all had communicable diseases or something.
geesh somebody is in a bad mood tonight.

Try living here for four years. The quoted post really hit a nerve. It could almost describe me, too. Only physical contact I get is when I visit my family in Seattle or when my long-distance squeeze comes for a visit. That's it. I'm a total WASP, and even I'm used to more physical contact than that. Not to mention just emotionally warmer friends. People I've known for years here are still very distant. They're that way with one another, too. You try living like that (especially with a lot of stresses in your life) and see how long it takes to get to you.
You're right, though. I'm just really down right now.

I hear you. Seattle is much the same way. Unfortunately I don't even have a long-distance squeeze. The people here are about as friendly as a barbed-wire enema. If you dare to smile at a woman walking down the street here you'll get a "how-dare-you" glare back.

Yep. If I'd known about this before I moved here I'd *never* have moved here. The Northwest is full of very distant people who are difficult to be friendly with. I didn't know Vancouver was the same way.
Bump (for the newbies)
I don't know how I missed this thread....
Least that I like about myself?
Speaking up for myself. At times, I regret later and wished that I had spoken up or worded it this way. Then, I feel bad for not speaking up because I should've defended myself.
not being able to be a leader, when I know I can do it, i just don't.
I'm a dreadful procrastinator....I keep meaning to do something about it. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]

Oh pheww Gophie ! You had me worried there. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
How could you have so woefully misjudged me?.
Sorry Gophie. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/d038.gif" border=0]
Another thing I least like about myself is that I woefully misjudge people sometimes.
I'm terribly impatient. I dislike that about myself. So does everyone else.
I don't think I would have recognized that Lil Me....but I think I am too. I'm more impatient with myself though, than I am with others. (I think) Although I have ZERO patience with bull.
