My husband passed away four years ago and I still can't find the peace of acceptance that he is gone.

Definitely procrastination here.....as my mother always said, "Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?"

I say procrastination, too...like today still sitting here and in my robe.

(((((Hugs))))) donna

Procrastination here too.

Lack of patience. Some people look like they are moving through molasses to me. Inefficient movements, can't get the big picture, can't get to the the point.....

I'm getting more cranky in my old age. I also have less patience with people.

My intolerance of stupidity.

Procrastination, inability to make decisions especially about the clutter in my house.

Why do you ask?...lol

impatience

what's yours?

I'm here in my robe too at 2:03 p.m. but only because I decided to have a semi-jammie day.

I think my worst character trait is that I tend to want things the way I want them so I guess that you could call me a control freak. And I readily admit it!

procrastination, but I will hate it more about myself tomorrow.

Old age, SamKaren??? Hah!
I would say like many of the others procrastination. I never used to have that, but I sure do now. I'm sitting here looking at the newspaper, remotes, and magazines on the coffee table, and I'll clean it up someday. I'm amassing more clutter.....love attractive flower pots, and I have several.
I can't turn down freebies from Freecycle that I think I want and need.

As SamKaren said.......lack of patience with people anymore.

Impatience and my temper fuse seems to be getting shorter every year I age!!!

I am really anal about getting older. For me, it's hard to accept that my looks are not looking so good anymore. How frigging shallow is that????? I know it, yet can't accept it.

My health.

I keep forgetting (old age) that i am your younger sis...LOL

I worry too much. I worry about what MIGHT happen as much as about things that HAVE happened. I know it's pointless to waste time worrying about things I can't control, which makes me so envious of people who don't worry about crossing that bridge until they come to it.

I'm getting more set in my ways as I age. Like Barbara said, "I want it the way I want it." I like being in control of the situation. Hopefully I'll relax a little when I retire in a couple of months. ~LOL~

Susan

Procrastination......

Probably, procrastination.....My age used to bother me but not longer....I want people to know why I look this way....It's been a long trip and some of the roads weren't paved!

I'm very set in my ways. I call myself "Gladys Kravitz" remember the nosy neighbor on "Bewitched". I'm always "telling" on other people when they don't follow the "rules". I hate being that way. I guess it comes with old age. LOL
Donna

Not enough patience with others.

I suck at being a "nurse" when bigbaby is sick.

Ron; surfing the net from the doghouse.

I talk to much.

Clutter-why can't I get it organized??

Procrastination, clutter and not into cleaning the house.

I am WAY too easily distracted! I start a chore and it takes forever to finish it b/c every little thing pulls me away. Stupid little stuff that I should ignore. I used to say procrastination, but I think that is very closely related to this distraction issue. I don't know which came first anymore.

extremely short on patience in regards to certain ppl

Insecurity. In most circumstances, it's unjustified. But it's one I fight myself with.

Being unable to focus.

All of the above. As I get older I also am not into cleaning the house. I do it because I have to. I rather
be outside playing in nice weather. My atitude has changed
about things....what I think is important and what isn't.
Lack of patience with the public at my job. Put me on the
list of procrastinaters too!!

I will try my best in relationship with friends - ignore lots of stuff because I am aware that there has to be give and take in friendship. I ignore too much, stuff it down and let it go.

But - in time (usually many years) there will be a (small) straw that breaks the camels back and I am done forevermore. I don't want to discuss it, I am completely done with a person. I never miss the relationship, I'm that done. It's like when I decide I don't want to interact to the person again, a huge burden has been lifted from my shoulders.

It's not that I never speak to them, but I am so distant and unavailable to them that they clearly get the message. I never miss the "good times" of the friendship, I feel worn out from the effort and the "good times" (of which there will be many) are simply of no value anymore.

I consider it a terrible fault within myself that I can so suddenly, quietly and finally walk away from a friendship and not be willing to even discuss the reason for it's demise. It's a cruelty I despise within myself.

Usually, it's petty stuff that build over the years that finally does me in-one unimportant thing will suddenly and unexpectedly be "the" one that is my last straw. I am aware this is fault is of my own making because I'm so unwilling to discuss the things that bother me as they are happening.

I tend to ignore a great many small things that snowball into a place where it's just too late. It's a terrible failing. I don't know if trying to talk something out would do any good (I feel petty if I try) but it really would be far better if I had made the effort along the way, before I was so completely done.

This has happened a handful of times in my adult life with friendships that were five years or even decades old - this really bothers me about myself.

I understand the petering out of a more casual friendship - this happens all the time in life, this is not that. It's a sudden death of my own making. The common factor is that I always end up feeling that I was upholding the "work" part of the friendship rather than it being a two way street, and then I quit my job. I have no idea if I'm correct in this perception as I simply won't allow any discussion about it once it's a done deal for me.

A terrible flaw in my make up.

I wonder if this flaw is in any of you - I often feel so alone with this issue.

I will try my best in relationship with friends - ignore lots of stuff because I am aware that there has to be give and take in friendship. I ignore too much, stuff it down and let it go. Mylab, I've been thinking about the same thing lately.. a couple of my friends have flaws that I have a hard time accepting. They both do things that I would never do, but besides those things they are wonderful longtime friends and have lots of positive qualities.

My attitude is that everyone has flaws, nobody is perfect. It'd be a very lonely life if we dismissed everyone who did things differently than we do.

I'm a terrible procrastinator, and I really dislike that about myself. The things I put off aren't even difficult, but I still delay doing them. *sigh*

Awwwww! (((((Ron)))))
I'm sure you're being too hard on yourself.....

I am infamous for procrastination! I can delay things for years. Sometimes it is a good thing but most of the time it gets me in trouble.

I have a hard time making major decisions. I am a Libra and weigh everything out before I make a move. One thing that I'm not, is impulsive. Don't know which is worse.
Lu

Procrastination, especially when it comes to my health and going to see my Doctor and not keeping in touch with the people I really should be keeping in touch with.
