Me personally it's my temper, sometimes I can really lose it, although I'm never violent. But some things can just send me into fits of apoplexy, long fuse but when I go don't be anywhere in the blast vicinity(duck and cover)
Arrogance is one thing I don't like, worse is self righteousness, if your going to be arrogant assure yourself you have good reason for it and even then humility will get you further.

Anyway enough of my rubbish: what do you consider your biggest fault, or are you perfect? If you are explain why, I could do with a laugh:-p :smile:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There are lots of things I dislike about you.
 
The thing I dislike most about myself is that I don't have a PhD in physics. The good part about this is that this situation can be remedied (albeit with a lot of effort). Of course, even once I've done so, I'll need to think of another thing I dislike about myself so that I can provide an answer in threads like this.

Good you're in good company, thankfully there's a 20 kajillion word limit on posts.

I don't dislike you at all, but hey, you haven't done anything to deserve it :smile: well not yet.:-p

:smile: Well I've never been big on taking the opinion of one person over the internet to heart, so I still can't find any reason to dislike you. :biggrin: Let's be frank, you have no idea about me and no idea about anyone else really, until you meet them face to face. Internet personas are hard to read.

I notice your avoiding answering the question in order to state your case about me, albeit it's pretty funny, but what do you hate most about yourself, perhaps your ability to judge people without really knowing them :wink::-p:smile:

I pity the fool who can't answer a question :smile: still not even registering on my dislike graph. Why would I dislike someone who has a good reason to dislike me, good for you, I'm replete with bad qualities. There's an implicit question there.

That is a very tough question. What I dislike the most about me is... let me see, that's really hard to pick one

I would say that I am too ambitious, or too confident in myself. I tend to think that I can tackle many problems at once. I have made quite some progress on this issue in the last months, mainly by being better organized. :frown:

However, if you let me ask, what is the point of this public-self-degradation-thread :rolleyes:

I wonder if cyrusabdollahi is serious. But he is quite funny :smile:

I don't see picking your biggest fault out as self degradation just self improvement, if you can't find your biggest weakness in yourself then how will you overcome it? if you can't find any then maybe :smile:

He aint the funniest co-member for nothing :lol:

Really, you can know a person just by what he shows online? Interesting, since 1270000% of communication is in body language I'm impressed, it takes years to know someone in person, on line it takes well years and then some :smile: OT though, I'm sure it's meat for another thread.

I've met a number of people in person that I first met online and they were exactly the same as they were online.

Funny how some people say that they can't know someone until they meet in person, I don't have that problem. How does a blind person get to know someone without seeing them?

You took me a bit too serious. :-p

But yes, it definitely is raw meat for another thread. Be my guest. :wink:

I bow to your wisdom, if they are simply summed up by there persona on line, then so be it, I think my point was though that it takes a lot longer to get to know someone on line than it does in person, probably wasn't clear, my bad.

I apologise, I think I rather did :smile: And no fear, that sort of topic would lead to many a heartbreak, some people, although thankfully few live on line :wink: j/k

Not to derail the thread, but a lot of people can't get past the hurdle of being physically near someone to read them. I'm not normal, incase you haven't noticed. :-p

Oh surely the dread of every person is to be considered normal- if you were, then I'd consider it your biggest fault:smile: Vive le difference.

the thing i hate about myself is i cannot even think of an amusing story to post in this thread. it is really hard to think of a joke on this topic that is not inappropriate.

I have the diplomatic skills of a charging bull.

To me, diplomacy is the art of bullsh'tting and white-washing. But my inability to be diplomatic has made some enemies that I didn't intend to make.

I'm often being too emotional, and I'm often letting idiotic/irrational worries take over my mind.
