Name a Strength and a Weakness

B00!

Name a strength, talent or gift you have.
~and~
Name a weakness or something you would like to work on (it can be related to the strength or completely different).

Which was easier to name, the strength or the weakness? (I'd lay odds we, as women, can instantly come up a thousand flaws but not so many strengths... and comparison robs us of our joy - don't ya hate that?")

..................................................................................

I shall start....

I can be a supportive friend.
But I don't take as much care of myself as I do others.

I am strong

...and weak, all at the same time

Strength: I'm a stubborn motherfcuker. Nothing is out of my reach in my own mind. If I set my mind to something, I will give it 150% and smash the hell out of it.

Weakness: Negative thinking. It's a lot better now than a couple of years ago, but I'm brutal for talking myself out of things, doubting myself, convincing myself I'm shyte. That and chocolate. Me and chocolate can't be in the same room.

I am very strong because of my positive outlook.

My willpower sucks. Food is too delicious!

Strength: When it comes to it I can deal with most tough situations and tend to have a good attitude towards them. I've often been told that I'm very strong and brave.

Weakness: Instead I struggle with stress and a very negative mindset and will create problems when there are none at all. These are the times that I'll start crying irrationally and work myself up into a panic.

It's amazing how the one brain can act in such different ways. Whilst not officially diagnosed, my counselor has expressed concerns that I have anxiety issues.

Strength would be I'm kind

Weakness is not enough confidence in myself

Same as this actually! I'm great at taking direction - tasks or challenges that will benefit other people (EG work projects, organizing events etc) and I'm definitely your woman.

However things that are good for ME and me only and I'm brutal. I'll set myself tasks and deadlines and ignore them all coz "sure no-one is counting on me/I'll start next week".

baby and crumble

Strength: I have lots of patience. Piles of it.

Weakness: I don't always stand up for myself.

meeeeh

Weakness: I can be a bitch
Strength: I can be a bitch.

Ohhh I could be here forever..

Strength - I don't care about silly things or you can rely on me
Weakness - I don't think much of myself

Heartening that almost everyone has the same weakness.

Strength: Smart as you like.
Weakness: Constantly forgetting that I'm just an ape, bombing it around the universe on a rock.

B00!

Strength: I see and appreciated everyone else's beauty, talent, worth...

Weakness: But I compare my worst inner flaws to everyone's outward (seeming) perfection... and degrade myself. I wonder if many women do this.

Milly33

It is amazing as mentioned before how women see themselves.. Everyone else is great and we try to be great outselfs but we just knock ourselves!!! Ladies ye all rock

Terrible listener but great multi-tasker.

I had a job interview recently, had to name my greatest strength & greatest weakness. Like the OP said, I had no problem coming up with plenty weaknesses but naming my greatest strength was difficult.

I am very easy going, have never lost my temper or really fought with anyone.
But I'm not good at talking about my feelings & sometimes I can overthink things & get too much in my own head.

Shelga

Strengths: I'm a good listener. I usually prefer to listen to other people's issues than talk about my own. Not because I'm lacking in confidence or anything, I just like listening to people. I'm also pretty good at putting myself in other people's shoes, and chatting away to/breaking the ice with all sorts of different people.

Weaknesses: I'm very impatient with other people, eg if I think a friend is making a mistake. I can also be judgemental and intolerant- nothing too bad but if I had to name something! :pac:

Lady is a tramp

Strength - I'm always told I'm very resilient. I bounce back again and again like a very bouncy thing!

Weakness - I'm too impulsive at times. Working on controlling that though.

Whattimeisit

Strength: I'm resilient and very loyal

Weakness: I get it hard to say what I mean sometimes and just agree to keep people happy

loalae

Strength: I am very good at understanding and analysing people and their motivations.

Weakness: I take any hint of criticism or implied criticism way too seriously and agonise over it indefinitely.

Lavinia

S: really have to think about this, as it is so easy to name weaknesses - like, where even to stop... but strengths.. endurance maybe.. phoenix syndrome..

W: to name just one? procrastination e.g. self-sabotage

Strength: Focus and single-mindedness, capable of intense concentration for prolonged periods.

Weakness: Single-minded and focused to the exclusion and neglect of everything else when in the zone.

CaraMay

Strength: I have emotional and mental strength I never would have believed possible

Weakness: not minding myself physically

B00!

strength: well capable

weakness: am quiet about it... and being too quiet makes people believe you arent capable of anything so they have a tendency to want to take over (like today).

Day Lewin

Strength: I am intelligent.

Weakness: Am cowardy custard, afraid of everything.

metaoblivia

Strength: Not afraid to march to my own tune
Weakness: I'm too much of a control freak - uptight!

B00!

strength... I like being a strong, independent person.

weakness... I am tired and weak alot of the time anymore.
