scifimike: (Eve)
I think as well as knowing my strengths, it's also important to know my weaknesses. Not only do I need to admit to them as they balance me out, but it also gives me things I can work on. I'm trying not to get too bogged down in the dark side, God only knows I've spent enough time there recently but it's still part of who I am.

However, personality traits are very different to the situation and events that lead to the depression. Discovering my bisexuality is not a weakness, my wife's failure to cope is not my weakness, mental illness is not a weakness.

My inability to say no to people, on the other hand, is a personal weakness. At work I've learned to ask what a task's priority is, compared to the rest of my workload. Outside of work - we all want people to like us and if we say no to someone, they might not want to know us anymore. That's always been a problem of mine!

Public speaking scares me something terrible. Luckily it's not something I have to do very often - or ever at all, if I'm honest - I haven't since presentations in school. I get tongue-tied speaking in front of a group of people but can talk to people one-on-one without any problems at all

I can also be very stubborn.

Lately, Chris Hemsworth has become a weakness - does he count? ;)
