Your biggest Weakness

[Run n Spread]

What is it?

I can't remember peoples names. Normally I'm good with dates, events and such. But you could introduce me and 2 mins later it's a blank.

Well, it takes me a long time to learn anything, I'm kind of a goof-off... little stuff starts disappearing from the workplace.

I'm very blunt

[Dav]

My inability to pick up on social cues.

 

[ioppolo]

My attention span. I get bored easy if a story is not interesting or the storyteller is dragging it on.

Food

Cheap CD box sets on Ebay.

Attention span to drawn out, boundless storytelling seems a common thing.

Nowadays, if the person isn't interactive or filling their sentences with wit, I tune out or change the subject. Dads are typically the worst offenders. Sometimes after the first two words and a pause for breath, you know you are in for an eye-glazing yarn (which you've probably heard several times) which could be condensed down to a few lines. You develop a desire for people to constantly be fresh and hilarious, or shut up, and avoid monologues like the plague.

In ancient times, if you asked someone a question they'd probably spin a linear yarn to get a point across, so you'd have to sit around like a book reading to get the info you require, and even half a century ago you could probably get through life doing this. Nowadays you just want a search result that is accurate, relevant, efficient and engaging, and that goes for conversing as well.

Mind drifting in conversation. Someone will be telling me some earth shattering news and I'll be thinking of what I'm having for dinner that night. For some reason I do it with my mum the most. She'll tell me what she's doing that day and a couple of minutes later, I'll ask her, "So, what are you doing today?"

"I told you that two minutes ago!"

In school assemblies, meetings (just general not smaller ones) and mass i srsly do not hear a word the principal says. Am either thinking about sex or footy or.. idk what im doing later that day.

My inability to pick up on social cues.

Strong username to post correlation.

 

[raskolnikov]

My sister's ex was the worst. He would draw things out, speak slowly and take 100 words to say what most people can say in 10. If he said something that he thought was funny he would pause, as if waiting for you to laugh. If I had drifted out I would hear the pause and just give off a, "heh yeah".

I can relate to a few listed here , especially these

I'm very blunt

My inability to pick up on social cues.

Sense of direction....chocolate.

But other than the bolded, they still aren’t my biggest weakness/es

Mine:
-Babies - I love kids in general , but babies just melt my heart . If one smiles at me or laughs, that’s enough to make my day .
-Sense of direction - I need google maps to get almost anywhere I don’t visit regularly and certainly can’t “wing it” . I write down or screenshot where I park my car on my phone . I overcompensated after getting lost /losing my car a few times and have become overreliant on the above , so I’ve been weaning myself off google maps (cautiously). I’m slowly getting better...
-Self esteem issues- these affect my relationship and how I feel about my body
