I always seem to come across as uneducated and quick to judge, and sometimes even spiteful of other people. All of which I try very hard not to be.

I'm highly reserved with my emotions. I don't like to talk to anyone about my emotional or physical pain, because I don't want to weigh down others with my problems. My problems are my own and I will deal with them, which is one of the things that make me fiercely independent as well.

I can be pretty harsh sometimes. I expect people to be strong enough to deal with their own problems, and if they can't, I expect them to follow my lead so I can fix their problems for them. If someone asks for my leadership then they had better be prepared to step out of the way and let me do my job. I always accept constructive criticism, but if it isn't constructive then shut up. ^_^;;
I'm the same way. Except I'm extremely sarcastic. So, rather than coming across as uneducated, I come across as a rude bitch. Which, to some extent, I am.

I don't like talking to people about my problems, either. I deal with them on my own. Especially because I don't want to be treated like I have a problem. Pity me or baby me, and you'll find yourself dead. And if others talk to me about their problems, I try to help. Help, meaning solve it on my own, without that person's interference.

Chronic depression feels like my major flaw. Everytime I make a small mistake of some kind, I immediately get depressed. I always feel like I have to do or say things right or I'm worthless. I don't always feel this way, but there are times when it kicks in. I've been called a pleaser. someone who always has to please everyone.

I'm normally a very shy person and I hate to talk first in a conversation because of the fear of saying something completely and utterly stupid beyond belief. This is why mainly at school or something, I just stay away from groups and stay by myself.

I have so many flaws it isn't funny. (Not like it was in the first place.) I have strong opinons, but terrible motor skills. My thoughts sound so great in my head, but my selective speech impediment, combined with my horribly deep soft voice, turns them into crap when spoken. Not that I have anything important to say- I don't share any interests with anyone, so small talk is impossible. The majority of my peers like cars, sports, rap music, girls, and cell phones: five things that din't interest me in the least. I'm pretty apathetic, yet I still give advice knowing I don't even care.
I've been severly depressed for three yeras, and even contemplated suicide in the sixth grade( and a few times afterward, but that's a different story.) I even worte out a will and showed it to my mother. (Who of course dissapproved- that's a naive twelve year-old for you. :? )
I'm very reclusive; I prefer to be alone and hate it when people try to start small talk, thniking my reclusiveness is just a cry for popularity or acceptance. My mother always forces me into social situations like birthday parties, etc., already knowing that I'll just eat all the food and leave. If I want to be in a social situation, I will put myself in said situation. No amount of force will make me a social person. She also forces me to call relatives that I don't even like: like my bigotted grandmother. I used to love her until I heard most of her opinions..now I shudder everytime I have to visit her.
I'm also a pretty lousy son..I feel like I'm taking advantage of my mother, and I don't like it. However, there is nothing I can do. If I try to get to a job to support her, she'll get all over-protective. I rarely do chores beyond taking out the garbage: I don't even iron. :?
Sorry if I got a little off-topic...as said earlier, I have terrible motor skills, and forums like these are the only way for me to express my feelings.

I'm a worrywart, short and simple. I worry if I fail a test, I worry if my bus/train is late, I worry if anything happened at home when I'm at campus, etc.

I don't like ask people for help, which is why I don't like the Java class I'm currently taking in college. Up until now, I did all schoolwork on my own, only getting help for math up until now. But in this new class, I'm completely dependent on others' help, and it makes me feel really bad -_-

I also don't befriend easily or like getting into long conversations about anything, except for anime. Still, even in my anime club, I rarely talk to people.

I am a social idiot.
I'm serious, I can barely say anything in public, and I can never get my opinions across unless I write them (which is why I want to be an author someday). I barely ever have good conversations. It's so frustrating. Nobody really knows the real me, and I'm not even sure that I know myself. I have very few friends thanks to this.
I also have a strange inability to cry. I very rarely cry over something physically painful, and I haven't cried for emotional reasons in years (I've lost count). I know that crying can get out some feelings, but I just can't seem to do it. (Not sure whether or not this is a flaw.)
I can't express my feelings to anyone. Not my mother or any of my friends-I can't even write in a diary, for fear that someone will find it and read it! I always feel like since I'm not good in public, nobody ever hears my opinions and therefore thinks that my feelings don't have worth. I'm always afraid that if I tell someone what I'm thinking, that they'll laugh at me. It's pure hell, I am telling you.
I get mad very easily. No matter what it is, if I get mad, then I explode.
I take things too personally. If someone says something that sounds hurtful, even if they were joking, I get really mad and upset and hurt, even if it's not about me (especially if it's not about me!)

I can get long-winded about things.

I also have Asperger's Syndrome.

My other flaw seems to be invisiblity. It seems like sometimes no one knows I've even said anything. They pass me over most of the time and I can't seem to figure out why. This happens at dances or big parties. Mainly it happens in chat rooms and forums. There are times when people do respond to something I've posted, but for the most part, no one seems to know I'm here. It hurts alot. :cry:
