Can we truly admit to our flaws?
I'm sure that every single one of us has our own flaws that keep us here, or at least keep us coming back. Other than the obvious enjoyment of socialization with our blogging peers, of course. Question is, are you willing to admit to your flaws? How long was your longest relation during this dating period? And when was the last longest relationship? What are our flaws that keep us single? Why things never work the way we want them to? Is the opposite gender always the one to blame in this dating scenario, or can you admit it's something you may be doing wrong. Are you too clingy? Maybe you're just a little hotheaded and sharp with the tongue. Are your standards set too high? Are you afraid of your own emotions when you feel any sort of attachment....do you run? What's keeping you from your happiness or are you truly happy just being alone.....though I personally don't see happiness in that..I had been there several years and it's a very lonely place to be. What keeps you single?
Me, personally.....I'm emotionally expressive. I will say how I feel, when I feel it. Some just cannot handle that....not to say that it's their fault, because it is, after all, one of my many flaws
.....I'm also very impatient...although I have all the patience in the world with people in general, I hate to wait because it drives me bonkers.lol

My flaw is that I am too polite and too much of a gentleman...seems my upbringing is seen as having ulterior motives...
And anyone who wants to say I DO...
See my comment two blogs above this one.
Just sayin'.
Have a wonderful day, y'all!
I can join in most things, most groups, converse wisely or not on most subjects, but I like being alone too but do not reckon its a flaw.
A flaw to me is when you do or think something which stops you have good life.
have the means to survive in any situation is
dont depend on no one is another
i can be impatience i hate to be on hold
i like to seize the moment
i believe in make haste while the sun shine
tomorrow is not promised .
love for animals and humans are another and so on
but what keeps me coming back is loneliness thats another
and i can probably name at least 10 more
I know I have quite a few flaws and I´m even an "enigma" to myself sometimes.
I may have some impatience at times but... I´ve also been told by many people that I have an "endurable" patience.
Like you, I am also "emotionally" expressive and, as you say, some cannot handle it. But, I am a typical scorpio for that regarding having deep passions and not being superficial.
...much like texting
we are living in a different era where the margin between a man and a woman is so narrow it is hardly ever noticed
"there are many that can hide these emotions well or be strong enough to suppress them as to make those around them comfortable".
That's a big problem I find. Which means we have to live in denial?
"Love is supposed to be a happy, wonderful emotion...why fear it so i have to pretend not to love because someone else is scared of it? Deny my feeling just to remain silent....suppose i will never understand"
Neither do I!
This being the case, I think I may be that lost puzzle piece which gets found years later under some rug that has become useless, since the puzzle has since long gone.
Hmm, we all have flaws. You believe it is our flaws that keep us here? Why then, is the rest of the world not here with us? Nobody is flawless.
PS
Actually, I had only one flaw. I was very full of myself. But I addressed that; I'm no longer full of conceit. I'm perfect now.
...and well, I'm glad you "perfected your imperfections"....good job!
I come from a family where we could rely 100% on our parents and they on each other. Being able to trust and rely on someone is a basic requirement for me but I have found that this is hard to find - selfishness seems to be prevalent in a lot of guys (only talking guys as I didn't date girls).
I am very clear in what I want. Doesn't go down well with the locals as they are more into "laid back, doesn't take things to seriously, likes a laugh..." which is basically looking for an easy lay and no commitment. Meeting someone with similar values is important (and hard to find). I don't do casual and know that when I'm with someone, I do get emotional involved. That's why compatibility and getting to know someone beforehand is important to me.
Obe of my flaws is that I am not good at dealing with other people's flaws. Sometimes I put them on a pedestal and that can come crashing down.
I would have been very guarded with my emotions. So it is only when people knew me well that they knew how to tease it out of me. I have been working on that though, and am more open and forthright now.
I am also probably too superficial. I do have to be physically attracted to somebody. I have always been envious of people who can look totally beyond the physical and take the actual person inside.
Don't get me wrong, it is their mind and soul that is more important to me, but unfortunately still for me, it had to be wrapped in a package I find attractive too.
I am working on that too, but not quite as successfully yet
This blog is supposed to be about admitting our own faults, not telling about other people's faults?
I did reflect on what I want and what I can offer someone. I found that a lot of guys were trying to mess someone around, and I don't want to do this to someone.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Obviously those are easier to mention
