We all have personality imperfections about ourselves that we either can improve or embrace.
Indeed, I am a flawed female who is constantly working on self improvement. What are are your flaws in the followong areas:
1. Personally
2. Socially
3. Professionally
4.. Romantically
5. *** Name just 2 flaws that you are not ashamed ? These 2 flaws are apart of who you are and are something you will not change. Do they make you unique in some way? ***

Okay finally
1. Personally
Fear f my own ignorance -- I don?t feel that I am intelligent enough for my age. I can pick up on things quick but I learn things at a slower pace which is very uncomfortable to those who can instantly learn something brand new. I have little faith in my own capabilities. Confidence in my own opinions is much stronger then my confidence in what I can do. For example, I enjoy cooking but I have a fear that my food should taste better then it actually does -- I get compliments on my food but it?s still to good enough. There are many things I know how to do but I am fearful of bring them to the surface because I have been belittled in the past along with being called conceited. My self-image has been a problem for years because I generally don?t see myself as being an attractive female. Average ? sure, but not beautiful. This insecurity had much to do with my upbringing as well.
Also, I can be ultra sensitive at times, my insecurities results in my questioning peoples motives towards me
2. Socially
I am usually shy when it comes to meeting new people. I can really engage in a conversation unless I feel comfortable with that person. Unfortunately I cannot get friendly with a person I just met 20 minutes ago -- if I do it?s rare. My shyness holds me back tremendously -- I am assertive but you have to be aggressive in today?s society, in which I am not. I am better talking within a small group of people then I am in talking in a crowd. I can deal with too many people but the crowd can get overwhelming after a while-- I generally run errands when there?s not too many people in the stores or when the traffic is low. If I have to do personal runs with many people around, I generally do it quickly ? I will not browse.

3. Professionally
*** I?ll speak from a students point of view *** Again shyness hold me back from many things -- I am assertive but I am not aggressive. In today?s world, you must be very forceful and competitive in the job in your chosen career path. Well, seeing that I don?t want to hurt or inconvenience anyone, this leaves me feeling left out. I?m not the ?if you can?t beat them, then join them? type of a person. Share I am adaptable but if I don?t agree with some thing I will sick to my guns regardless.
4. Romantically
I am very emotionally and I can give my heart away too soon because I feel so deeply. Also, until recently I to adapt to every guy I either dated or became serious with -- I was like an ?every woman? in so many words. Whatever skills or qualities that were outstanding to those men, I would always present that part of myself instead of the other layers that are apart of me. As a result, I felt rather empty ?. I yearned for them to at least want to know the real me but it seemed that they only wanted what was on the surface instead of what was below it. ***It?s quite funny really, the men that become my friend first before presuing anything beyond that can get to know me much better ***I am into public displays of acknowledgement NOT affection. There were boyfriends that enjoyed kissing me in public -- I convinced myself that it was a display of acknowledgement, not affection ?.haha I was lying to myself. If my love gives me a kiss on the cheek or puts his arm around me ? IT ISN?T REQUIRED if he were to do something that?s good enough for me. Yes, in the past I have said that I don?t mind pubic displays of affection, but in reality it does make me feel uneasy and a bit loose. All the other stuff should be private between us. Also, I am insecure about a man?s motives towards me because I haven?t had that much luck in the past.

Yeah Eliza,
That's a HUGE pet-peeve of mine. If you argue with me in public ... things will not be good afterwards .... I don't like to be fronted.
SB,
You said:
"My ambition. I know ambition in a girl isn't attractive but I wouldn't trade this aspect of me for anything. Its something that I have seen is just me."
Can we get married? I love a girl with ambition..... and I don't know why a guy wouldn't, unless he just wants a piece of meat to have sex with.
Ambition and confidence go hand in hand. Confident girls are attractive, that is not in dispute, and being ambitious often means you are confident about something about yourself.

Definitely my type of a country! There are 2 countries in this world I'd like to live in if not in my own country, and Canada (the west coast) is one of them.

Ya, Spanish is a beautiful language too. Those accents kill me, they are so sexy. I took three years of Spanish while in high school and having taken one French and one Italian class since then, it's amazing how similar the Romantic languages are to each other. Spanish is supposedly one of the easier languages to learn and the way I see it, will probably help you learn Italian faster. They are very similar from what I remember.

lets hope I get to that stage sometime soon. Its funny because when I do unleash the fury, people usually say don't burn all your bridges at once..you never know when you might need to cross them again, and I am like "Do I look remotely bothered"!
Must remain calm, must remain calm, must remain calm..lol..mantra over!..

"people usually say don't burn all your bridges at once.."
I've been told that too and ... well ... I sort of use that phrase in my own life because I don't want to burn all my bridges ... especially now at this point in my life. Oh the other hand, it's hard for me not to say what I want to say when I'm angry. Haha, however, there is a time to "vent" and a time to just "stop, take a deep breath and walk away."
