Day 13 - 5 weaknesses

April challenge
Day 13 - Describe 5 weaknesses you have.

Today's and tomorrow's topics are going to be hard. I'm never good at finding and/or recognizing my own strengths and weaknesses. It's so much easier to do in others. Isn't that just the way it goes... Alright, here's to learning how to find and improve my own strengths and weaknesses!
  1. I'm not sociable enough in groups of people that I don't know very well, especially large groups.
  2. I'm afraid of trying anything new, especially if I haven't ever observed the new thing I'm supposed to be trying.
  3. I'm bad at giving people my full attention when I'm busy doing something else.
  4. I'm not good at graciously accepting criticism (constructive or otherwise). I may look gracious on the outside, especially to people I don't know very well, but it's not how I'm feeling on the inside. It's a work-in-progress.
  5. I need to work on having consistent Bible study. Definitely a weaknesses for me in the past, but I'm really working on making it a priority in the present and for the future.
And for fun: Bonus - I'm VERY ticklish! Haha, yep, that's definitely a weakness of mine. I'm ticklish pretty much everywhere and sometimes people can tickle me just by wiggling their fingers in the air and not even touching me.

  1. I resonate with many of these things. :-)

    I am fascinated by the way that some people view certain things as weaknesses while others call them strengths.

    I wonder how much control a person has over feelings.

    1. You're right, Janelle. It is interesting to see what people define as strengths or weaknesses. Also, when I read your comment I went back and looked at my list, then realized that I hadn't written all five correctly. So I went back and changed them to make sense with what I'd meant...
