2.

I am lazy af and procrastinate like a bitch. It’s my worst flaw. It affects my health, my relationships, and is now magnified by my depression.

Inflexible. I want to do things my way. Trying to learn to overcome this but old habits die hard.

I tend to overthink a lot which sometimes makes me my own worst enemy.

5.

I get very annoyed when people tell me basic information assuming I don’t know it. If they were condescending or something then maybe i’d be safe. But no I am a massive prick when it comes to this. They are just trying to help but I always take it as “oh he doesn’t know this, hes an idiot”. I mostly blame my mum for this 😛

6.

I don’t talk about my feelings at all. It’s hard to know if I’m sad or mad about something.

7.

I don’t really say anything when it upsets me to try to keep the peace. Then all of a sudden, one little thing can make me become a total bitch which hurts my relationships.

I don’t set boundaries with people which leads to me becoming angry with them at a later date because they are taking advantage of my being too nice.

9.

I judge people too quickly and I’m really petty.
