Evaluating yourself

Rollover · Posted: Sat Jul 05, 2008 12:10 am Post subject: Evaluating yourself

I don't know if this belongs here, but I will attempt a shot in the dark at what I am thinking. How does one evaluate their self, identify there own character flaws/shortcomings. Other than in anger, I rarely find a person who shares this information with another. I feels strange asking this, as it seems some what superficial, or rather that I care how the world or anyone views me, but at the same time it is something I want to know.

If I was to evaluate my own shortcomings I would say Anger is becoming less of one. Cynicism, Laziness and Jealousy are my biggest shortcomings. They tend to rule over my life in that my actions are often twisted by one of those three. Anger used to be one of my biggest shortcomings but today it's not, I show a lot of anger still but it's different to how it was, I used to have uncontrollable anger. I don't think I've used a violent solution to a problem in 8-9 years. I feel our shortcomings are fluid, I wonder what mine will be in the future.

My largest shortcoming is my lack of social skills. I cannot talk to another person in real life (and often on the internet) without embarrassing myself, so I generally avoid people whenever possible.

I would say, in real life, today, my shortcomings or whatever, are , well, I lack the ability to physically stand up for myself, so I feel vulnerable and am then 'apologetic' in my speech.
Though, I can and do get angry, then people have to watch out-there's me with my anger of bottled up emotions I've let go over my head, and a base ball bat.
I can get very mad.
Apart from that, without provocation, I can be and am. very caring and giving-so much so, it has worn me out....leading me to be very isolated and p'ssed off-like, I often think, 'well I fucking hepled her and him and them and it was when I was struggling, and, now they're fine and I'm in shit street and no one gives a fuck. Why did I bother...I hate those bastards.'
Well, there we are.

HeHehHehe--Quite right of course,except for me .

My observation is that we tend to judge ourselves much more harshly than do others.

I suspect that's in part because we compare our insides with the outsides of others. Looking at others,we see the mask, the behaviour. We never see them as we see ourselves.

We also tend to deny flaws obvious to others;EG Like T_C's claim about lack of anger.

ME? Apart from being self absorbed, opionated, judgmental, intolerant of fools, arrogant, pompous, angry,cynical,misanthropic,old bald fat and ugly,I'm just about perfect.

----I don't even have any really interesting vices, only really irritating ones..

People don't judge as much as you guys seem to think they do...

Pregabalin is good....I've recently been prescribed it for nerve pain, but it also is very calming. It is used for anxiety disorders too. I'm sensitive to absolutely everything and well, this, so far, the only bad side effect was slurring and feeling drunk (not that bad heh), so I reduced the dose.
After the first hour of taking it, all the stresses and strains of life just float away Very Happy

Yes, I've tried all types of anti-depressants and stuff-just caused more problems.
This, is something else Laughing
