Welcome to Gaia! ::

Now we all have weaknesses, aside from the typical stuff, (we all get burnet by fire, injured by lead bullets, poison, and so on) but what is one of your biggest weakness, as to thing you can't say no to , a fear, or something you have troubles with. (not asking as if i plan to use this knowledge to take you down in real life stare ) I though a thread like this could help us with some of our problems, by sharing and giving advice for those of use that need help dealing with our weakness

Anyways, my greatest weakness is...talking to girls/women. well not to all girls/women, i can talk to women older then more or younger and the ones i know or the ones i work with. but i can't go up and talk to girls/women i don't know. I never learned to talk to other girl, other then those I was friends with (only had 3 or so) none of witch I could ever go out with. All of use knew it wouldn’t work out. My point being, I just can’t talk to girl I don’t know, like girls I would like to ask out.

Ex: back in September. I was at ACL (Austin City Limits: a music festival) after a show from Queens of the Stone Age, they where getting the stage ready for the Killers. During that time, I saw this cute girl walk by, don't know what it was about her, but my attentions was drawn to her.

I wanted to go up and talk to her, in the ultimate hopeful of asking her out for some coffee/tea. Even if she turned me down, I want to at lest talk to her.
I assess the situation, she was by herself for at the time (friends came in latter), i may not have looked my best (after being in over 99 degrees sun for like 8 hours, and in cargo short and a plain gray t-shirt) but I felt I was still some what presentable. My down fall, couldn't think of what to say, just could think straight, and I didn't want to go up to her and make a fool of myself. Then her friend came in, and I knew all attempts would be bad. So, I gave up.

After giving up, to make myself feel better, I though I go get some kettle corn. I was in line when suddenly; I realized what I could have said. That moment was much like that of in Seinfeld, when George realized what he should had said when a guy zinged him,Jerkstore (not the clip i wanted, but close enough.)

The point was, I couldn't think on my feet when I want to talk to a girls, that my greatest weakness.

yeah. i too have anger problems with my anger, not in that i can't controle it, i can do that, i just can't find a way to vent it out. because so much of it is storied up, that i get angery over the little hassels in my life, and when i'm by myself i'm doing that screaming while still whispering, then the moment some one walks in, is when i change back to my nomral self, then once there gone, i'm back to where i lefted off.

"Look up in the sky!"

Just Kidding, I think I have fixed most of my weaknesses. For example, I used to have klepto-tendancies and others, but I'm better now.

Finishing projects I start. I have so many disembodied doll parts laying around...scarves I haven't finished sewing...fabric for quilts I was going to make at one point...

I really need someone behind me cheering me on, or some sort of deadline/pressure to get projects done to their conclusion sometimes. I try to rush things, make mistakes, have to go back and redo things, and I end up losing interest as soon as I move on to a new project.

One of my Resolutions this year was to finish projects I have sitting half-done in a box...

::Looks woefully at Black Canary and Zatanna Barbie dolls::

*Stares at the half finished Catwoman drawing for Katrina he's been working on for six months off and on.*

This reminds me of another weakness I have. I've always wanted to be a writer, and I have a lot of ideas for stories, but whenever I sit down and write, I can never get very far. I always think way too much about it and then I start doubting myself. I start to think that nobody's going to like it and I give up. I can't count the stories that I've started and given up on.

i to have that problem, some time i have to force myself to do it. like have to strap my self in, turn off the internet and tv so i can't say there was somthing i else to do. that and it just finding the free time to do it is getting harder and harder.

That and you have a leather fetish don't ya?
