What are some of your personal strengths and weaknesses?
I haven't created a topic in a really, really long time, so I thought I'd contribute a little. Basically, just list what some of your strengths are, and then follow it up with some traits that you would maybe like to improve upon or even get rid of altogether. Of course it can be pretty low key and non personal if you want it to be. If you're feeling like you want to focus on specifically one aspect over the other, feel free to. I personally feel a little narcissistic when thinking about listing off personal strengths, but hey, I suppose It's good to give yourself some small compliments every once in awhile.

Here are some of mine. I'll probably just go with five for each:
Strengths:
- I feel like I have a bit of a knack for getting along with people. It takes quite a lot before I openly hold a grudge.
- I'm very persistent, maybe even to the point of a flaw.
- I'm flexible and relaxed.
- I'm convincing (or at least I think I am)
- I don't have many friends compared to most people, but I care immensely for those that are close to me, even if I don't make it really obvious.
Weaknesses:
- I honestly have a bit of social anxiety. It used to be a little crippling when I was younger, but I have fought through it long enough that I can now sort of shove it to the back of my mind and go about my business. Sometimes its like its not even there at all, but it most definitely does resurface from time to time, though its usually pretty minor. In some ways, this is a little embarrassing to admit, but I've found that addressing it helps.
- I think it's difficult to get me to a state where I'm furious, but for anyone who has seen me provoked to that point, I think they would say that I have quite a strong temper. To clarify, its not like I'm ever out of control, I just tend to unleash a bit of a verbal onslaught once I get to that point.. haha.
- Sometimes I may be a little too prideful.
- By contrast, I can also be unreasonably and irrationally hard on myself about the smallest of things.
- I tend to internalize my stronger emotions and push people away. Sometimes I like being a mystery.

Can't say anything about my strengths, since I don't really know them and therefore it's not up to me to judge them.
Some of the weaknesses are:
It's no surprise that I actually often hate myself.
I don't know much about my strengths, but certainly know some of my weaknesses:
I'm not persuasive/persistent. To get the things you want in life, we have to be able to persuade persons to help achieve that goal. There is only so much you can achieve truly on your own.
I'm a perfectionist (self-doubt or procastinator): it's a double edged sword. I try too hard on things that ultimately don't matter (& feel destroyed when things are not perfect) & I avoid doing things I feel I can't possibly achieve in (or at least procastinate , constantly overthinking how to greet & talk to people (leaving me very anxious) or attempt something so capriciously & haphazardly that I sabotage my own efforts (thus reaffirming my weakness of not being able to achieve).
I'm moody & I lack in acknowledging my own bad nonverbal cues and communication (especially under first impressions which does not bode well for new friendships, relationships [romantic & professional]).
I'm not very consistent....or at the very least my happy or manic moods are few and far between. I can met a person several times as a different person. I can do a task repeatedly with no problem then forget how to do it or it takes much more time to do. Shit the simplest words can take me many seconds to remember. And certain people I don't remember their names.
*I'm aloof a lot of the time.
Strengths:
I'm open minded and rational.
I'm good at motivating and cheering people up.
Weaknesses:
My mood goes up and down. I think I'm somewhat bipolar.
I sometimes can come off as rude when I don't mean to be.
Strengths: Not many really. I guess the only thing I can think of is that I am generous and helpful to others. I love to help others.
Weaknesses: Haha who could count, but my main weakness is I have a temper and am somewhat bipolar and i get depressed more often than i'd like to admit.
Strength: I know the future.
Weakness: Redheads.
Strenght: Since I have Aspergers Syndrome I have very easy to focus on many things (even though that it hasn´t always been that way, sadly.)
Weakness: I have for sure overrated myself quite many times.
Strengths.
I'm a total Boy Scout, I genuinely enjoy helping people.
I'm laid-back, empathetic and a good listener.
I'm fairly imaginative.
I have a great head for writing and public speaking, a very good vocabulary and a flair for persuasion and rhetoric.
Weakness
I'm scatterbrained, indecisive and somewhat undisciplined.
I'm mysterious in a bad way. I have trouble expressing my emotions and thought process to people I care about.
I'm impatient, I'm sometimes satisfied with half-assed jobs.
I'm stubborn and occasional humiliation in school have made me reluctant to ask for help when perhaps I need it..
I'm combative about some things. "Discretion is the better part of valor" is something I have trouble with.

WEAKNESSES
Strengths:
1: I like to think that I'm creative
2: I like to make people laugh
3: Polite to others
Weaknesses:
1: Lazy
2: I have trouble expressing my emotions.
3: I used to have really terrible social anxiety. And while it's gotten a lot better over time, part of it still resonates deep within me and it's resulted in some very awkward and uncomfortable moments that honestly make me cringe every time I think about them.

....I feel like these are things that would pop up if I was in an Until Dawn game.
Strenghts:
High working-morale.
Trustworthy.
Weakness:
Even if it was much worse earlier, I get too emotional sometimes which makes me look like a feeble idiot. Feeble is another word for weak.
Strength: I can understand pretty much any concept I set my mind to. (EDIT: Except the difference between who and whom, that all forever perplex me.)
Weakness: I hate everything, though I try to convince myself I don't.
Undecided: For better or worse, I'm becoming more and more apathetic.
Whom is used when the subject is in the oblique case. Otherwise, one says who. Here is the satirical comic that taught me this.
Strength strengthened! I doubt I'll have the wherewithal to use the correct one in conversation, but at least I'll be able to know if I was right or wrong in retrospect! Thanks!
I'm incredibly fucking humble, I'm pretty sure I'm probably the most modest person in the world. More than anyone you've ever seen before.
Pffft, you're not half as humble as I am! I'm so humble, I could write a best-seller about being humble!

You have twice as many weaknesses as strengths why you do this to yourself?
You see yourself as a lazy stressed out depressed coward who can hardly interact and can't pay attention wat
Why so hard on yourself? I seen a few people do this why so many users seem to bully themselves with so many negative perceptions of themselves with so few strengths which subconsciously will become reality as they believe it.
Believe in yourself list more strengths please make it at least even sorry to single you out this post caught my eye
