Foibles and Flaws

A lot of what this blog is about is making the most of your twenties and turning into the best version of yourself. We do a lot of growing up between the ages of 22-27, for better and worse. I personally have worked especially hard in the past year to grow and improve (which like I said, has come with it’s amazing rewards and sad consequences.) Even still, none of us are without flaws – and I’m a perfectionist, so that’s tough to admit. But, it’s the truth. Here are some of my biggest flaws that I’m okay with admitting:

*I am extremely critical – not only of myself and others. Basically, if I don’t like something I will call you out on it. Most of the time it’s because I think I’m trying to help, but it’s still annoying and I’m sorry

*If you’ve pissed me off, I’ll get over it, but I’ll remind you about it constantly. I usually do it in a joking type of way, but it’s still irritating. I’m sorry again

*I’m super competitive. Even though I’m getting A LOT better about this one, I tend to compare myself to others and try and top other people. It’s led to nothing good, I promise.

*I can be condescending and act like I’m on a high horse. A product of working really hard on myself has led me to get really frustrated when people don’t see my point of view. So, I can be bratty and act like a know-it-all. It comes off as smug, but really I think I’m trying to help by imparting wisdom that has helped me.

*I try to be perfect. This is by far the hardest one to conquer… and one that I’m not sure will ever go away.

What are some of your biggest flaws?
