Everybody has flaws

[Nemo]

As is being too thin although that is not seen as a flaw. A big nose, crooked teeth, or anything
that is not considered 'the perfect norm' are not flaws they are physical characteristics so if one thinks that then maybe that is a 'flaw' too. Being lazy is a flaw and maybe I do procrastinate a bit when it comes to revision and that is a flaw too.

I would also consider being too thin a flaw. A big nose, crooked teeth, or anythin i also consider a flaw, although im more talking about flaws which you yourself can change but havent/dont. Its not so much the norm, its so much as being healthy. If you aren't being healthy that is a FLAW is it not? A flaw in his characteristic ie. that he cannot control what he eats/how much excercise he gets, therefore he is flawed.

Also you seemed to have skipped a definition from the oxford dictionary

a mark , blemish, or other imperfection which mars a substance or object:a flaw in the glass

It is an imperfection.

wow surprised half these posts don't have the sentence 'i'm really shallow and don't really think about how other people feel' ... some of these replies are really quite rude and don't really consider how what you've posted could have a detrimental affect on other people :S ...

theres two ways you can go in life. you can either keep telling yourself you're perfect and have really good self confidence, or you can tell yourself you have this many flaws bla bla and live an insecure life, constantly wondering if somebody has noticed your 'flaw'.

i'm not about to **** myself off, and knock my confidence, so, i don't have any flaws. i'm just different to other people, which is good because if we were all the same it'd be pretty boring.

i know that you've hardly started slagging yourselves off but the fact that you're even thinking about flaws is instantly knocking your confidence because you're labelling something that may be different, or not the same, as a flaw which is how you'd refer to something bad.

i'm not preaching and tbf, if you want to tell yourselves you have flaws, go ahead. tell yourself you're bad, it doesn't affect me but maybe i've just shed a bit of light onto your 'flaws' as something not bad.

I think that's a terrible approach to this thread. Pointing out your flaws isnt to knock your confidence (its not even your confidence, more your ego i'd say), its so you can evaluate them and then get rid of them. Hardly going to improve yourself if you ignore everything bad about yourself and continue living on thinking there's nothing wrong with you. Its all about self impovement and making yourself better i suppose. Also its intriguing to see what people say about themselves.

I don't know when to stop when something goes wrong, I have no self confidence in myself and I am far too paranoid/sarcastic in life.

hardly a terrible approach, i'm just not living to dwell on things that other people may think are bad about me, i'm happy with what i am, who i am, what i look like and anybody that wants to tell me otherwise, whatever, i'm my own person. who is ANYBODY to say what a flaw is? there's nothing wrong with me, there's nothing wrong with you, there's nothing wrong with richie, there's nothing wrong with anyone who's posted in this thread. we're all different and saying that a difference is a negative thing is crazy!

I would also consider being too thin a flaw. A big nose, crooked teeth, or anythin i also consider a flaw, although im more talking about flaws which you yourself can change but havent/dont.

A flaw in his characteristic ie. that he cannot control what he eats/how much excercise he gets, therefore he is flawed.

you've just contradicted yourself, you said that it's so people can evaluate them and then get rid of them, posting that a big nose, crooked teeth or anything else appearance wise is a flaw... you can't evaluate and change crooked teeth, you can't evaluate and change anything. you were born a certain way, your personality is different to somebody elses for a reason. being 'fat', being 'thin', being 'ugly', whatever it is and how rude that you post this:

If you aren't being healthy that is a FLAW is it not? A flaw in his characteristic ie. that he cannot control what he eats/how much excercise he gets, therefore he is flawed.

You don't know the circumstances, it infuriates me when people say things such as 'OMG LOL LOOK A FAT PERSON THEY JUST DONT STOP EATING CAKES', you're instantly judging someone, you don't know what it is that makes richie a bigger guy than us, saying that he can't control what he eats is really insensitive.

i can see this thread just going round in circles.

like i said, two ways of looking at yourself.
i've chosen my way, you've chosen yours.

Too sarcastic and such a lazy ****

[-Charityy]

My Flaw:
I don't really think before I say stuff, I just say whatever pops in to my head causing some people to get mad.
Another big flaw is I'm a really jealous person, but like about I don't want my husband to really talk to other girls/text them. Not like I'm jealous of what other people have, because that's never really bothered me.

Being too quiet/Being too sarcastic

You're not supposed to dwell on it. You're supposed to think about your flaw and how you can change that. WE are to say what a flaw is in ourselves. Richie has himself evaulated a flaw in himself and all i said was that they shouldnt change his thinking when i agree, being fat is a flaw. I wouldnt want to be fat, if he wants to be then its not my decision, all im saying is that he should think about it because it is straight up not healthy and just not a good thing to be. Especially if you think its a part of who you are. You might call me rude for saying that, but its true, and i find it hard to see how anyone can deny that unless they are just trying to be nice.

A difference can be a negative or a positive, no one said it's always negative. For example, being a murderer. I consider that being rather different, but are you honestly saying being a murderer isnt a flaw? Are you saying their mental state isnt flawed? If so, im very worried.

you've just contradicted yourself, you said that it's so people can evaluate them and then get rid of them, posting that a big nose, crooked teeth or anything else appearance wise is a flaw... you can't evaluate and change crooked teeth, you can't evaluate and change anything. you were born a certain way, your personality is different to somebody elses for a reason. being 'fat', being 'thin', being 'ugly', whatever it is

That's why after i said that i thought this thread was just for flaws that you could change, not unchangeable ones. Otherwise my other point still stands that its interesting to see what people think bad of themselves.

and how rude that you post this:

If you aren't being healthy that is a FLAW is it not? A flaw in his characteristic ie. that he cannot control what he eats/how much excercise he gets, therefore he is flawed.

The thing is, i know Richie, if he wants to stay fat then fine by me, i can hardly force him. However if i saw him on the street, as much as we say we dont, everyone judges. I would judge him and i would think thats a flaw in his personality, he cant control what he does when it comes down to it. Find that rude, so be it, i find it strange that you want someone to think that they can't help themself, when they can. Im pretty sure he's also started going gym, so he obviously DOES want to change. And the fact that in his original post he said he can change, means there is no hidden reason.

Fair enough, all im saying is that this ideal of not improving yourself is something im fully against, its all about the self improvement yo.


Ooh another flaw, i can sometimes come across as rude if trying to express a point. Woops.
