A Month of Natalie - Weaknesses

Describe 5 weaknesses you have.

I am not nearly as disciplined as I would like to be. I have a very difficult time making myself do something that I don’t want to do.  This especially applies if it requires me to stay up later or get up earlier. When people ask if I am morning person or an evening person my answer is always that I am an afternoon person. I cannot just decided I am going to do something, it takes a while for me to ease myself into whatever new endeavor I have decided to take on.

I am opinionated. I have a difficult time not inserting myself into conversation and controversies. I cannot tell you how many times I have typed a Facebook comment and then deleted because I knew it would stir up a storm of emotions. Let me tell you that I have struggled with waiting until I was asked for my opinion before giving it. Oh, and I had quite a lot to say about this whole Chick Fil A things, honestly because I felt like both sides were wrong. I seriously typed and deleted a blog on the issue three times.

I am oversensitive. I get my feelings hurt like a child and I cry at commercials, not even just the Hallmark commercials. I cry at stupid commercials. I cry when I read blogs, I cry when I hear stories of people hurting children. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I experience the wounds of others very deeply. I am very in touch with my emotions. Actually, I can tell when I depressed or not doing so well spiritually when I don't cry. I am a blubbering baby. 

I am super organized in many aspects, but surprisingly enough, I am not detail oriented. Perhaps this is why I excelled in Literature but not chemistry. I do well with sweeping themes not minute details. I think is also why I am a great cook, but not a great baker. Baking requires precise measurement where as cooking just requires knowledge of the ingredients, a good palate, and a little bit of creativity.

I am impatient. I don’t like surprises unless I only have to wait fifteen seconds. Christmas kills me. If I decided I want something, waiting for it seems impossible. Traffic and me are not best friends and I much prefer stop signs to red lights. Evening finishing this last weakness is taking too long. Come on fingers, type faster!
