Sloth, Pride, Lust, Wrath, Envy, Greed, Gluttony.
I’m super lazy and full of myself. Also horny. However, I’m not a very angry, bitter, or grasping person, and I don’t enjoy physical excess.

The #1 pick is easy
Sloth
the next three fairly closely lumped together
Lust
Gluttony
Greed
and the last three not much of a problem for me at all
Pride
Envy
Wrath
It’s not “Pride” in the sense of pride of achievement or pride as self-esteem, but in a more archaic sense of hubris or vainglory. Think of it as Pridefulness, instead.
The Capital Vices are not so much per se sins as weaknesses that open you up to sin and to a spiral of increased indulgence and excess, if not countered by the exercise of the corresponding Virtues (Hubris/Vainglory:Humility; Avarice:Charity; Wrath:Forbearance/Patience; Gluttony:Temperance; Lechery:Chastity; Indolence/Sloth: Dilligence; Envy:Kindness).
Wrath - The problem is not so much that I get angry, but how angry I get.
Gluttony - I am Big, after all. It doesn’t help that I have problems absorbing nutrients lately.
Sloth - I’ve always hated cleaning.
Lust - Porn. 'Nuff said.
Pride - It’s hard to resist believing I’m right about the things I’ve spent so much time thinking and learning about.
Envy - I guess I’m guilty of wishing I were like someone else sometimes.
Greed - I don’t think I’ve been guilty of that for a while. At least, not as I understand the term. Sure, I wish I had more money, but only enough to get by. The idea of money for its own sake repulses me.
Oh. Well in that case it should be way lower on my list.
Sloth
Lust
Gluttony
Pride
Envy/Greed/Wrath have never been part of my makeup. Probably why I’m such a slothful underachiever! (See, that’s my pride right there; I always think I could do better if I wanted to, I just don’t want to!)
Lust, Sloth, Wrath, Lust, Pride, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Lust, Envy, Lust, Greed.
Sloth, Sloth, Sloth, Sloth, Sloth, Sloth, Sloth.
With a light sprinkling of a few of the others thrown in too just for grins.
Gluttony. I love food, I use it for comfort. I don’t stuff myself as much as I used to, but I have a hard time stopping when I am really enjoying something.
Sloth. But only in some things. I enjoy some manual labor, like working with horses and cleaning stalls. Cleaning a house? Not so much.
Greed. I have a hard time mnaging money and my house is packed with…stuff. I have multiple copllections and I just can’t stop adding to them…
Envy. Not a major one, but I do find myself jealous of others who are prettier, who have loving relationships or more money at times. I guess wistful might be a better word.
Pride. I am not a vain person. But I do like pretty pets… I pretty much make initial decisions on pets on if I like the way they look.
Wrath. Sometimes I can have temper issues. Not often, and it’s not like I come out swinging.
Lust. I ain’t gettin’ any, so this is not a problem for me. Dammit.
For which you will be repaid mightily in karma if not earthly riches.
I did mention you to deedeeknowit, saying “I knew someone would get it and give me the set-up.” But with the changes in copyright law these days, you can’t be too careful.
Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Pride
Lust and Pride have moved down from the top of the list as the years have gone by although they can predominate at times. Sloth is on an upward trend.
I don’t really get envious, so I put envy last. With the other six tied for first place.
I think it might be fun to make a different list, of one’s favorite deadly sins.
Here’s a poll. Vote for your favorite!
Charlie: They said you was hung.
Bart: And they was right.
I could do this all day - It’s twue!
OK, my turn:
Gluttony, Lust, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Greed, Pride
Well, deadly things to me, I’m not much up on sin so in order of favourite killer things:
Lust
Gluttony
Sloth
Wrath
I’m not too good at these last three.
Envy
Pride
Greed
Not sure who said “the sum of your vices is constant” but I think a pie chart would work well.
Sloth. I’m not a very high-energy person.
Gluttony. I eat too much of the wrong stuff.
Greed. I like spending money.
Envy. I am jealous of people who don’t get depressed.
Pride. I’m confident in my intelligence, my ability to be a good friend, and my ability to handle pretty much anything life throws at me. I’m not confident in my social skills or my appearance.
Lust. I don’t have a very high sex drive.
Wrath. I’m rarely if ever wrathful, and when I am angry it drives me nuts.
Gluttony. Kind of on its way out since my weight loss surgery but it’s certainly caused me more trouble than the others in my lifetime.
Lust. I’m married and monogamous but if I were single all I’d do is BANG BANG BANG (NSFW). Love the menfolk.
Pride. DO IT MYSELF. Must not ask for help!
Sloth. There are few things more fun to me than sleep.
Envy. This was a much bigger problem for me in my 20s than it is now. I don’t begrudge other people working hard and enjoying the fruits of their labor, I just get pissed when I see people have the world just handed to them. The inherent unfairness pisses me off, and it also pisses me off that I’m, um, not one of them.
Wrath. It’s hard to make me truly mad.
Greed. I don’t want YOUR stuff so I can add it to my own stuff. I just want to work and keep as much of my earnings as possible. When I’m not being pissed about not having been born rich, anyway.
Sloth and lust are in a dead tie. Though not at the same time.
Then the rest: Pride, wrath, gluttony, greed, envy.
I’m still thinking about the order of these, but I know this much…
I’m greedy when it comes to lust.
Lust is first on my list.
