How are any of those character flaws?
**Skald **can I just say, you make some of the greatest threads ever. Thanks. 
Aren’t you glad I’ve sworn off slamming certain movies?
Shyness/lack of confidence
Well, yes…although if you wanted to start a big thread saying I HATE LOTR (or anything else) that would be fair enough! And I may or may not even defend it.
But that’s all to one side. Your threads really are fun.
Self-loathing.
But that would be misleading; I adore the book*, and of the movies I only hate the third. In fact, I decided the other day that it was time for my biennial reading of the professor’s opus.
Was there going to be something with the star ? I’ll confess, I don’t adore the books. I like them, sure, but sometimes they are much too long-winded. No one talks like that. Instead of saying let’s go, we say a speech. And he was entirely too fixated on food.
Other than that, they were good books. And perhaps I should give them a re-read, too, it’s been about two years.
Yeah; I was going to go on a long nerdish rant about their being only ONE book, i.e., the LOTR novel is not a trilogy, but I lost interest even as I contemplated it. But forgot to delete the asterisk.
:eek:
And I was going to order my minions to spare you when they sweep over the lands like a flaming wind this afterooon!
Ah well.
But I do like them! Can I have only a little flaming-wind-sweeping? Please?
::checks the schedule::
Now that I think on it, Anaamika,I already gave the order for my VSGEFBWHMs* to spare you anyway, and it’s bad policy to keep rescinding orders. You should be fine so long as you don’t actively interfere with the pillaging.

And now back to our regularly-scheduled thread!
I would like to be free of self-doubt. Because I’m pretty sure that I can do whatever I set my mind to, and then that little voice kicks in. And, frankly, I’d rather not even try than try and fail.

This sums up a lot of how I feel about myself. I’d like to change that.
I’m also working on not being so passive-aggressive anymore, but it would be nice if that genie would eliminate that in one fell swoop.
Procrastination. Or indecision, maybe. Is there some all-purpose character flaw which encompasses both? If so, that’s the one I’d like to be rid of.
