If it's not too personal, list your weaknesses

[DOMOSTICK]

Hmm don't really know that yet since im so young but ill be glad to list my fears.

Heights
Huge spiders like the ones in the desert that are like 3 feet long.
Thats about it, or all I can think of right now.

[Rigor Mortis]

Heights and freezing weather are the only things. I can shrug off anything else.

*puts a bird-eating spider on Domo's shoulder*

[DOMOSTICK]

haha small spiders don't really scare me its just I saw some pics of spiders in iraq and damn there huge.

Just about everyone has a weakness, it's the very thing that has the power to take control of you (like influences you to do things you wouldn't normally do). It's another word for fear.
Is there even such a thing as a 3 feet long spider and why is everyone so afraid of heights?

You just answered your own question. Everyone has a fear or weakness even if it may seem silly to you or anyone else. (heights for example)

I'm only speaking for myself here on why I don't like heights. It's the fact that I cannot fly and save myself if I were to fall off a building or maybe a rollercoaster.

Also I'm pretty sure Domo already knows there aren't spiders that are really 3 feet long. He's just expressing it as an exaggeration.

[DOMOSTICK]

Yep im just saying there 3 feet to explain thats why i'm afraid of them. No there not 3 feet but maybe around 8 or so inches. Still pretty big.

HTMLHELP4U dude typed: Hmm don't really know that yet since im so young but ill be glad to list my fears.

I didn't answer my own question, I rephrased it for him^ to realize fear and weakness are the same things. And I never said anything about your fear being silly. Stop being so hostile, I was asking for an explanation of your fear of heights because obviously you both fear heights. And if HTMLHELP4U exaggerates, I wouldn't be able to tell through a monitor whether he was serious or whether he was exaggerating to give the word more effect. It's not like I know the dude personally to determine whether he was an idiot or not (no offense to you HTMLHELP4U).

[Rigor Mortis]

I wasn't being hostile. I apologize if I seemed to. Most of the time I seem cold or mean by how I post and say things I guess. But really don't mean any harm. Just clearing up for you on why I fear heights.

Eh and I guess if you're like me and like wasting time thinking too much about certain things, stuff like exaggeration can easily be picked up even through a monitor. I don't know Domo too well myself but saying a spider is 3 feet long sure does sound like an exaggeration doesn't it?

[SN]

Yeah, a spider 3 feet long does sound like an exaggeration but you gotta realize some people can be serious even when it comes to something that unlikely. I'm not sure if it's my cookies that keeps me from being logged in as HTMLHELP4U said because I've enabled it. But any ways, am I the only one up at this hour? It's a horrible time to be up, but I just had a long day's sleep after slaving away with some lady for her Online Traffic Schooling. I think I'm beginning to feel the forum as a part of my daily routine but I have just a week to cram in 2 weeks worth of assignments, so I won't be able to keep up as much in my postings.

[DOMOSTICK]

Damn I gotta do a 20 page assignment but im doing it in powerpoint, im a freakin lagger tho.

Well I suppose if anyone is actually serious about things that're unlikely then I suppose we can all just label them a dumbass and continue on with life lol

Anyways do you have that Remember Me box checked at login? That's all I can think of that could be the issue.

Getting back to the topic I'll add lazyness as one of my other weaknesses. Sometimes when something is so easy I just put it off and never get to it.

[DOMOSTICK]

Yea like homework thats real easy then you don't do it.

[123boi]

[DOMOSTICK]

Haha that sucks real bad.

Clarification Guys... A weakness and a fear are TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS. 8)

Example... A while back I had a really BAD weakness for drinking. If I saw alcohol it HAD to be mine --> to the point that I became an alcoholic (which by the way, I'm not anymore!)

Just figured I'd give out an example... I'd say a weakness is kinda like a guilty pleasure. Something you know it's bad for you and you know you can't do or have but you fall... That's what being weak is. :D

[DOMOSTICK]

I didn't say weakness was a fear just mentioning that i'm to young to discover my weaknesses so I posted my fears.

[forLove]

oh ok :)

You don't have a weakness?! I know that at times, my weakness is eating IceCream! :?

[SN]

Going solely by the definition in the dictionary, you would be right. Weakness is lacking strength, not being able to resist or withstand attack (i.e. alcohol, ice cream). But considering fear has the power to submit one to this same position and it often does with most humans, they add up to the same things, not literally synonyms but do often eventually reach a point of equivalence. I don't say this for all people, people react differently to their fears and weaknesses. I'm just referring to the majority.

[forLove]

Very good ;) I agree with you!

[DOMOSTICK]

I'm afraid of heights, and 3 foot spiders.

[strangone18]

i guess my biggest weakness, is my best friend. no matter what i go to him like a drop of a hat. spiders and things like that arent scary to me.

Okay. Thought there was a difference but I just went with the crowd.

Baaaaaaa.

Anyways, I guess for weaknesses I'll just list some ways to kick my ass and make me miserable at the same time.

- too aggressive sometimes
- Poor social skills
- left shoulder
- getting hit by real cold stuff
- Not great in Math
- Bad attitude
- being an ass

[DOMOSTICK]

Lol getting hit with real cold stuff.

One of mine would be giving speeches. Sharing in front of the class is cool and I like the attention but when I got to share reports and stuff I get nervous and speak to fast and to quiet.
