This is a super power that is also my nemesis: I have a super sonic nose. It can smell stuff for miles. One time I woke up smelling smoke because a house ACROSS the lake was roasting a pig overnight. I am not pregnant. My mom said her super sonic nose got worse when she was pregnant so I am doomed (she once almost passed out from the smell of Christmas cookies so she called my grandma and had her take like 8 batches of dough to her house to cook lol)

I am judgey.

I am lazy.

I like to spend money.

My boobs are ginormous monsters.

I am sensitive and get offended easily although I'm really good at hiding it.

I also have a blubbery stomach, but that's what Spanx were made for.

@blackbird230 are you my sister? Like are you currently living in NC with a military husband and trying to get a job in FL which you're not moving to for like 3 more months?

I wish! You would make an awesome sister. Nah I'm in CT and staying in New England for the near future.

I'm fairly messy...mostly I just ignore clutter until I trip over it. I'm REALLY bad with papers. PAPERS EVERYWHERE

I'm a pretty sensitive person and although I take constructive criticism pretty well I still beat myself up quite a bit.

I'm an open-minded person but I can be judgey, especially when people do STUPID shit.

I have SERIOUS road rage. It's bad.

I have some pretty low self-esteem. I'll have moments where I am good with myself but mostly I don't like me and I wonder why others do.

I can be selfish but I am really working on this.

LizzyTish88 · August 2014

I am messy.

I am lazy.

I get really defensive over my entire family. Do even the slightest thing to upset someone in my family and I get really peeved about it.

If I want something, I will do anything in my power to get it. Once I set my heart on something, that's it. My parents and BF have expressed that this drives them crazy.

I hate my body and body image. Put that together with being lazy and I'm not doing anything to change it. This is something I am activily working on.

Peaseblossom55 · August 2014

I don't clean as often as I should for someone with 4 cats.

I obsess far too much with my weight for someone of my stature.

I am a planner it can be annoying when H is not.

According to H I steal the covers.

My common sense is lacking at times.

I cry too easily.

I'm really good at hiding that about myself. I told @csousa1 this when we were together last week and she was shocked too hahaha

@GoldenPenguin I hope my post didn't upset you! I think the concept of raising awareness for a terrible disease with no cure in a creative way is a great idea, but have been getting very annoyed with posts tagging me and friends to do it when there's a water shortage where we live currently. I read them as "Donate $100 or pay a $500 fine for wasting water!".

For context everyone, I made a post refusing to participate in it due to the current drought in California, and I threatened to flood the wall of anyone who tagged me in it with information on the drought instead. There actually is a minimum $500 fine for anyone who is wasting water, and anyone can report it via an anonymous tip line. And @GoldenPenguin and I are friends on Facebook.

Anyways, flaws of mine:

-I get annoyed very easily.

-I am judgey.

-I drink at least one glass of wine a night, more if it was a stressful day.

-I speed (normally only 10 over though...never have gotten a speeding ticket), and I have a short temper when driving. I am also a jerk to anyone who is being an idiot driver. Example: If I am already speeding, and you come up fast on me and start tailgating me/flashing your lights at me etc. I slow down to the speed limit.

-I am lazy when it comes to cleaning. But I also refuse to let any guests ever see my place in any condition other then perfect, so normally I go on a crazy cleaning spree before anyone comes over ever.

-I love carbs way too much. My body on the other hand does not.

Um, quoted all the way. Like, it's bad.

I'm super lazy

I procrastinate so much

@blue - I'm a mosquito magnet too! It's awful! They always head straight for me.

I'm really bad at keeping up with people and contacting them first

I bite my nails

I'm an atrocious speller. I'm so glad spell check was invented.

I can never decide what I want to eat (except for cookies, I'll always take cookies)

I cry at the drop of a hat. I don't know if this is because of my bc or just me.

Same here. It's awful for job interviews and other important things.

My flaws: I judge people with little to no work ethic I'm a workaholic I'm not a good cook I get easily frustrated Sometimes I don't realize the volume of my voice ETA: Another flaw apparently I can't ever make paragraphs

I am also a nervous pooper, and my nervous-poop is usually liquid (TMI??), which is inconvenient. And dangerous.

I'm incredibly impatient.

I get social anxiety, but it's always AFTER the social situation is over. I'll obsess over something that I did or said that was "awkward" and berate myself for doing/saying whatever idiotic thing I did/said.

I talk to tv shows and movies. As if telling the good guy to "LOOK OUT!" will stop the bad guy from catching him, or yelling "He'll just hurt you!" will stop a Bachelorette from choosing the wrong idiot. FI always reminds me, "You know, they can't hear you."

I don't know how to sugar coat things. My support usually comes in the form of tough-love.

This happens to me all the time! Every time we go out with friends, I always think about how I acted after we leave. Usually I did or said something stupid and I obsess over it even if it really wasn't that bad. I'll tell H about it and he will be like, "what are you talking about". He could just be being nice but I hate that I do that!

thetimewillcome · August 2014

I have lots of flaws, but here are a few:

I'm with @TwoDimes and @southernpeach89 in that I have social anxiety, AFTER the social situation.

I'm a planner by nature. I like plans and back-up plans and back-up to the back-up plans. This wouldn't be so much of a problem except....

I'm a worrier. For example, if my SO doesn't call when he said he would (like he is going somewhere and he is supposed to call/text when he gets there and I know about when he should be there), I think the worst. Is it super likely that he got in a massive car crash where he is laying along side the road in a ditch? Nope. Is it super likely that he forgot to call? Yup. Which do I think happened? The first one. So when I make all these plans, I get all worked up about the back-up plans not possibly working out because something happens to mess them up. In other words, I get worked up over something that is likely not to happen to something that is likely to not happen.

I don't handle frustrated well. Angry, happy, upset, and other emotions...got it. Frustrated...not at all. I totally overreact.

Like @Foxandbunny I am also really bad at keeping up with people and contacting them first.

There's more, but I'm not thinking of them right now.

You're totally fine

It's definitely spread EVERYWHERE now, but it's super big in the Northeast, since he's a Boston guy, so you're probably getting a lot from the East Coast, I would imagine!

CLoGreenEyes · August 2014

I'm pretty much oblivious to physical reality throughout most of my life. I live in my head so much that certain everyday tasks confound me, at least at first. Things like figuring out the shortest way to drive somewhere, BASIC home maintenance and improvements, even cleaning sometimes - I always end up doing things the hard way because I can't see the simplest way. (Despite this issue, I'm lucky that at school/work I am great with learning new equipment and treatments. I don't know how - I guess I use work as a vacation from living in my head all the time?)

I have this thing where I believe I am simultaneously right ALL the time, but am also a massive failure at everything. Baffling.

I'm pretty sure I have a caffeine addiction. I get headaches by lunchtime if I haven't had a Diet Coke yet that day.

If there is chocolate, I must eat it.

I am really shy around men I find attractive. ANYONE else and I'm very warm and friendly, but instant silence if I think you're cute. I'm pushing myself to be better at this, since obviously it's kind of impeding my progress in some ways right now, but still. It's PAINFUL to make conversation with good-looking guys for me.

I think the N in my INFJ is too full of itself. Once I get to know someone pretty well, I feel like I know everything and sometimes forget that people are dynamic and can and will surprise you.

I'm usually pretty good with my money, but in times of stress I become a spender in the worst way - like the past fourteen months, for example. It's not good.

This is something I've gotten a LOT better about from necessity, but I still have this tendency to avoid conflict at the expense of my own rights, comfort, and even safety. I will do whatever it takes to make other people happy so they don't get mad at me (even if it's something they would have no grounds to be mad over), and it won't even occur to me to be upset or to say no until later.

joy14bw · August 2014

I'm kind of lazy too - I can make it to the gym, cook dinner, get my nails done and run any errands I need to but when it comes to any household stuff, I'd rather pay someone. (ie, mow the yard, paint, clean) I'm almost at the point where I'm willing to pay someone to redo my master bedroom!
If I'm at home I dont want to do anything but read or enjoy the quiet.

I am sensitive sally! If someone says something about me that I'm not sure how to fix then I get really upset over it. But I do get over things quickly.

I only shave twice a week. I feel like its such a hassle when I wear jeans to work everyday. (and I'm single and not trying to impress anyone)

I turn into a total snob when I feel like a guy is over confident and ignorant. I think its so unattractive so I guess I make myself unattractive so they just go away.

HAAAAA. I (and I guess I should say FI) am lucky if I shave my legs ONCE a week. It takes SO LONG and it's SO ANNOYING.

lilacck28 · August 2014

1. I am a lazy procrastinator. But also a perfectionist. So I take forever to get myself to do something, but once I start, I'm all crazy focused and get freaked out if it doesn't end up PERFECTLY. And fiance basically has to shout at me for me to realize he's been trying to get my attention.

2. I am addicted to carbs and cheese and dessert. My flabby stomach is getting bigger, and I am not doing anything about it.

3. I read terrible things. As in, romance novels. and .... fanfiction. *hides*, but I haven't read a good books, as in, literature or non fiction, in a VERY long time. And I like to think I'm education. pah.

4. I am judgey. And a bit of an elitist. It's bad. fiance has helped me be less of this.

5. I have fairly strong political beliefs. Fiance shares them. His job and networking is part of it. He formed a Young Democrat league before I met him. I'm used to hanging out with all of his friends and coworkers and talking shop with them. I have forgotten how to have conversations with people who hold contrary beliefs. I'm friendly with people from college who were in the young republicans because of our shared interest in politics and prior rolls within student government. But... they weren't BSC. I just... completely disagreed with them. But we had some interesting debates.

I am concerned that I no longer have the same respect for people with different beliefs as I used to. I say this because I will be meeting my best friend's new boyfriend soon... and he likes to watch fox news, and doesn't believe that humans had any role in climate change, and that the dollar should be backed by gold, and that Sarah Palin is the shit, and calls people "gay" and "soft" in a derogatory manner. I hope that I can figure it out and find some respect for him...

Hummingbird125 · August 2014

- I love gossip.

- I'm very judgey.

- I'm competitive about things that don't matter, with people who shouldn't matter.

- I really hate exercising. I would rather lay on the couch and watch Food Network for 4 hours than go to the gym for 30 minutes.

- I can be a nag.

- I get upset if things don't go perfectly my way.

- I take any criticism personally, and get really upset by it.

bride2b71614 · August 2014

I also have to be early to everything, like fifteen minutes early.

I am intense, and if I am passionate about something, I can go overboard.

I am guilty of being over competitive during sports (mini-golf for example).

I bite my lower lip out of habit.

I am hyper aware of my driving, yes I too, stop at the stop sign for three seconds.

I give myself pep talks where I address myself only using my last name.

Looks like I'm in very good company with my judginess (sp?).

BreMR · August 2014

You ladies are a bunch of disasters!!!

Just kidding!! I relate to at least one thing all of you have said..
I am messy by nature, a procrastinator, emotional, lazy, and especially judgey about the lifestyles of people in my hometown. (Drinking/ambition less/drugs) . Also I use to be incredibly horrible with finances, I've gotten a ton better but like @lmcooper86‌ I am actively trying to fix past mistakes and my fi is in charge of sending out our bills.

Blue & White · August 2014

@lilacck28‌ it's hard to toe the line of being elitist and being strong in your beliefs. When working retail I honestly wish I could smack some sense into some of my customers. No, I don't care that you (this is a very particular you) are on your 4th divorce but you're sucking her dry because you didn't cheat. I find your arrogance (same person) to be the reason you're on divorce #4. Some people!
