I have been told it is a fault because once I need to get it out after weeks of not being able to find the right outlet, it comes out. It isn't so much that the other person wants to hear it as it is super intense.

I haven't read this thread but when i saw the title a thought came to mind.

Sometimes our greatest assets are our greatest faults as well.

I am a caretaker. I'm good at it. I'm a nurse, a mom, a friend and i try to "make it all better" for anyone around me. That is an asset.

It is also a fault. I get too involved, i worry too much and i can overstep boundaries if someone is in need if i'm not careful. I also can be taken advantage of quite frequently.

I am a very optimistic person. I see the good. I feel the good. I live for the good of people. On the flip side, as a fault, i tend to poke my head in the sand and don't see the obvious. Keep hope when things should be let go of.

To me, life is about balance. Good and bad in all of us. If we see the glass 1/2 full, it's great and something most of us try to do. But without the other part being 1/2 empty....

it would just be a glass of water.

How boring is that.

Ah, I see what you mean.

Not being able to enjoy downtime to physically heal - I start to feel unproductive or useless and then I push myself more to prove I can still do it.

I know, I need to learn how to rest when I am not in control :P
I think if it wasn't for these projects and my deadline, I would be a lot more easy going about this.

Even though I am patient, sometimes I try to take on more tasks to try to get things happening faster. Usually it ends up setting me back

I can be shy.

I like to stay up later than I should.

I like to eat way to much chocolate.

I'm hard on myself.

I find it hard to let go of feelings, good or bad.

I sometimes take things personally, when I don't need to.

I can relate to all of that - this week specifically, the chocolate.

You should see the giant bag of Mini Eggs that I've been plowing through this week. It's ridiculous.

A friend just bought this three foot box of Cadbury chocolate biscuits and said I could have half, I'm waaay more excited than I should be lol.
