Jim’s cafe 23/4/2021. Strengths and weakness.

[HappyKitty]

Okay, here's quite an exhaustive list...

Weaknesses :

• Serious privacy issues, secretive, hiding
• Silent, very shy, distant, cold
• I struggle with clearly communicating what I want to convey (orally)
• Neurotic, stressed
• Indecisive af, overthinking
• Very poor self-esteem
• Too analytical for my own good
• Kinda susceptible at times
• My brain is slow these days
• Perfectionistic (in a bad way)
• No creativity

Strengths :

• Loyal
• Passionate, enthusiastic
• Somewhat optimistic
• Not judgmental, I see the best in everyone
• Compassionate, kind
• Involuntarily funny, if I let go of the silence. Not talking about my stupid sarcasm, but my very close friends would say that and I never understood why... Now I think it comes from me openly mocking how my dysfunctional, weird brain works.
• My brain analyzes everything all. the. time.
• Honest

dont u want to put doing maths as your strength too? i admire you for that too

Oh oh can i share someof mine ! These always make me chuckle .....

 

[Przym]

I have no strengths, lol.

• I mean, I guess I sometimes make an attempt to help strangers online who need an empathetic ear. Unfortunately, I don't always show the same patience and empathy towards my close relatives.
• I do try to be honest with others as well as myself.

Weaknesses?

• Hypersensitive and reactive to criticism.
• Prone to anger and cruelty when hurt.
• Lazy.
• Selfish.
• Often makes impulsive, poor decisions.
• Lack of self-discipline.

I am trying to change my weaknesses, though it is difficult to execute through sheer will and effort and no support. But I'm trying to actually practice what I preach as a Christian and tie Stoicism into my lifestyle.

I didn't actually think about that you raise a good point. Nah, unfortunately when I'm out sleeping, I struggle to think even if the house was burning down, I'd just think it was a little bit hot and close my eyes again. Very heavy sleeper

Im not sure WHY we are doing the Myers-Briggs personality test, but ok..

I am INXJ The X because I come down perfectly in the middle (did a couple online tests, got more or less 50/50 split on each of them) I seem to have strong traits of both, I used to be a definite INTJ, but I seem to have drifted to the centre in the 10 years or so since I last took the test. Best way I can describe the coexistence of F and T is "My heart chooses the direction, my mind sets the course".

 

[HappyKitty]

I'm really glad everyone is enjoying this thread. My therapist must be that awesome then.

 

[Auri]

Alright, not a fan of personality tests, but gotta be openminded so I played the game... and I got INFJ, Advocate. The rarest type of them all, that I can agree with. :p

I'd post some memes about it, but I don't really relate to most of them.

This one was pretty accurate though, for me :

Long story short... After going through few sessions at EMDR, processing grief for losing independence because of medical trauma after its assessments done, (but hopefully will regain & maintain my independence back with physio soon...) my therapist told me that people like me tend to be criticised a lot cause of our uncommon condition but fear no more, she assessed my strengths and weakness too, to build up self esteem. Here’s mine, whats yours? 😺

I gotta share this here too. I kinda wanna post this here, I just wanna express that anyone is so easily able take advantage of your weakness to bully you. There should be someone telling them to STOP.

This is what happened. I feel pretty mad with my so called close friend Diyana for 2 decades, for what she did last two days ago but I gave her second chances like if she treats like that to me again, I'd ghost her. I updated her abt my medical trauma stuffs cause she's usually checks in on me about my health and she actually made me cry, she's been trying be like one of those insensitive bustards claiming she's more worse than anybody else, so easily influenced which is so not good for her mental health if she's continue self-diagnosing. I’d cut off anyone who do that or someone who triggers my traumatic memory. As a good friend I am to her, I don’t contest. Period. I educated her so bad when she cross the line after i got mad "... you have ADHD too.... I mean, I bet with ADHD, you can't deal with my stressful life..." i got so damn black mate. Unlike her, I'm trained to not go around blaming people/condition when its sad enough this condition (not just ADHD) has already claims my life & losing my independence. I just hate it when people take advantage of our weakness, we are not a lost cause.

Noticing your strengths and weaknesses apparently helps to create your own boundaries that needed to be respected.

[KM76710]

The kidding answers for me:

Strengths:
None.
Weaknesses:
All of them.

Serious answers:

Strengths:

Calm.

Persistent and unrelenting single mindedness of purpose in working on on objective. Can also be a weakness in that I can be caught unawares by surprises.

Patience, with people not machinery, I expect machines to work and people to go wonky at times.

Tolerance of others and differences in ideology, religion, politics and the like. I never view a person I disagree with as the enemy, just a difference of opinion.

Quick thinking. Ability to get inside a person's OODA loop(John Boyd, Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) and be thinking many steps ahead of them and have them reacting to me instead of me reacting to them.

Ability to walk away from most any situation and never feel the need to be the big shot in what is happening. There have only been a few times I was unable to because the situations were extreme.

Weaknesses:

I can be very callous at times with fools and idiots. People pushing their luck with nature. Example would be the recent one where a grown adult with a child decided he wanted to get a picture of his child with an elephant and climbed over, around multiple barriers and fences to get into the enclosure, they made it out alive. If the innocent child have been harmed it would have been tragic, if Dumbo had gotten ahold of dad and... I admit my comment would have been: Am I supposed to care about that dumbass? People who do stupid things, bring bad things upon themselves and then want to blame others I can't abide.

Lack of understanding of others. Intellectually I get it but emotions are a bit beyond for me. I just don't have a solid connection to others.

Being stubborn which can also be a strength.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

Compassion
Empathy
Creativity
Loyalty
Honesty

Weaknesses:
Being overly emotional
Too hard on myself
Procrastination
Giving up
Lack of self-worth
