My Flaws
1. Perfectionism
I tend to be extremely hard on myself. I used to cry in grade school if I couldn't figure out a math problem. I also beat myself up when I got my first B in 3rd grade and cried to my teacher and mom. This, however, is a good thing because it has made me successful and driven my life long love of learning.
2. A Superior Need for Control
I get seriously freaked out if things are out of my control. While I was struggling with PPD, this became even more apparent. As we all know, most of our life is outside of our control - you can only control yourself and your reactions. It has made me a great planner at work at parties. You name it - I own what I am doing/trying to accomplish.
3. Extremely Emotional
I cry at commercials. Yes, I'm that teary-eyed one if there's a baby on the TV. My friends have made fun of me for years for how sensitive I can be. I honestly don't know any other way of living and it has given me a huge heart. I will give you the shirt off of my back if you need it. I'm a great hugger and always there to be a shoulder to cry on.
Sorry for the brevity in the post, my 2-year-old is trying to attack me while I'm typing this!
