This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

What's your greatest weakness?
Mine is that I'm far too credulous; I'm really TOO open to input, willing to see novelty and newness where none really exists. I guess that goes naturally with nostalgia/anime fandom.

Extreme procrastination o_o
And I always seem to second-guess myself.

I think we should all spend like 3 days without Internet. All of our (stated) problems can be linked to it.

Hookers and blow. 
Alternatively, Kryptonite.
Alternatively alternatively, TV Tropes. (That's my real weakness. For reals.)
...okay, okay. Sorry to mess up the thread. Been in a bit of a funk and needed to shake things up a bit. Just everybody ignore this post and everybody carry on as the OP intended.

Re: What's your greatest weakness?
Good food and good alcohol are weaknesses of mine, if you can consider that a weakness. I really don't, except to note that it sucks to like either of those things when you're broke. 
Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Whoa almost everything here can be attributed to too much Internet. Jesus Christ.
Some thoughts:
Meditate/pray. This strengthens the self-control centers of your brain.
Also, let your bare skin touch bare earth. It really makes me feel good for reasons I can't properly explain.
And on top of that, martial arts. Srsly awesome.

Re: What's your greatest weakness?
It's either my extremely thin skin or extremely fast temper. My ability to hold grudges over the tiniest things if they hurt my feelings and/or make me angry is also pretty high on the list.

Re: What's your greatest weakness?
I have also got thin skin- in both metaphorical and literal terms! Metaphorically, my ego is bruised easily, though I tend to get distanced and sad rather than angry (my memory isn't good enough to hold a grudge 
). Literally, I have my mom's "delicate" skin. Not allergic to anything, just wimpy-thin and sensitive to stupid things. Like grass. If I were to roll down a grassy hill in shorts, I'd be itching my legs for the following 24 hours. I turn beat red whenever I exert myself. I once got into a patch of poison oak and it was a travesty!

Re: What's your greatest weakness?
I get angry at the wrong things, because I bottle it up until I'm quite incomprehensibly stupid with it, then unleash it at the wrong place or person, or too much of it.

Re: What's your greatest weakness?
I have allowed myself to become too enamored with the trappings of the modern, the modern is designed specifically to cater to those who lack ingenuity and self-discipline and as such those qualities have degraded.

I love to walk barefoot outside, and taking naps in a nice cool spot on the ground. It makes me feel good.
my biggest weakness is my acquired lazyness. I was never this lazy until I moved to an area I don't much like. I'm constantly falling into bouts of laziness that usually depress me. My biggest weakness may actually be my inability to get over the past and move forward.

I always evoke strong reactions in others - some really like me, some really can't stand me. I don't do that intentionally.

Re: What's your greatest weakness?
I can be kind of pushy. I've got a drive to get things done, but it overwhelms some people and tiny things can stop my momentum.
Also, can be pretty critical of things. Some don't like that, but I think analysis can bring about a greater understanding of why we like or dislike things. This leaves me disliking a lot of things but having a solid foundation and comprehension of what I do enjoy.

What do you think causes that duality? Is it just the compatibility of personality types?
