What Do We Really Think About Ourselves? by missjo(f): 2:34pm On Oct 10, 2016
So I came across this topic just a few minutes ago,
https://www.nairaland.com/3399398/10-things-mother-never-told

And this part got me thinking:
5. She knows she’s not perfect.
She is her own worst critic. She knows all her flaws and sometimes hates herself for them. She is hardest on herself when it comes to you, though. She wanted to be the perfect mom, to do
nothing wrong — but because she is human, she made mistakes. She is probably still trying to forgive herself for them. She wishes with her whole heart that she could go back in time and do things differently, but she can’t, so be kind to her, and know she did the best she knew how to do.

Are there actually people who think they are perfect? In case you didn't know, the answer is YES. It's not really that these people see themselves as 100% perfect, it is that they don't see their flaws as imperfections.

My flaws include -
1. I'm sweet natured to a fault and many people have taken advantage of this, I would have loved to be more mean in certain situations.
2. I cry over the littlest things, I shouldn't be doing this but I can't help it.
3. I get caught in a lie everytime, I suck at it. YES I consider this a flaw, I should be able to lie convincingly sometimes tongue


Okay that's all I can think of at the moment.
Now the floor is open to you all, list out the thing(s) you consider your flaws. No specific number.
This isn't meant to embarrass no one, just some light-hearted fun if you're the kind of person who is not afraid to make fun of yourself and doesn't take yourself way too seriously. cool

budaatum:

Nice hot water in the shower one day when the showerhead says, "buda, you a perfectionist".

"Me?" Asked buda, hot water washing down face.

"Yeah you", says showerhead. "buda, you are a perfectionist".

buda look at the showerhead nice hot water washing off head and goes, "You're tripping. I ain't no perfectionist! I ain't never done anything perfectly in my life!"

Showerhead goes, "exactly". And kept showering hot water on buda head.

It took a while, but buda eventually realised buda didn't do anything because buda wasn't perfect.

10 whiles later and flaws are buda perfections.
