What is Your Achilles Heel?

mine is where the tendon is close to the skin on my lower calf, near the heel and ankle

What is the thing that could bring you down!
This place. Since I hit 1,000 I think I opened the floodgates. At this rate, I'll be at 2,000 by the end of the month. Aargh....
 
Appearantly nothing. I've overcome so many obsticles (sp?) and I am really hopeful. I could succumb to being overdone I guess.
 
I think of myself as more of a Shakespearean tragedy...I, being the the hero, would suffer from my tragic flaw...my inability to let myself achieve the last piece of any puzzle...not able to complete anything, although great things are accomplished in my life. I am well aware of my flaw, but unable to overcome it. It will surely be my demise...
 
When I feel strongly about something, I tend to open my big mouth without taking the time to arrange my words first. I end up pissing off/hurting/annoying people. I'm better at thinking things through than I used to be, but occasionally I'll get so swept up in emotion I'll just vent before I think. I've done it here & in RL. It's my most self-destructive character flaw. If anything takes me down, that'll be it.
 
Same as me

Exactly like myself, i mean well but how it comes out wether in a post or talking i screw it up. Since i got married it has improved 100 fold but still is my downfall.

Why do we have to have this of all faults? Really irks me at times i try to keep everything seperate but it just does not seem to stay that way. AS you cna se on LIT i have really tried to intergrate into LIT, but have not been very successful :( Ehy do i bother? Must be im so pigged headed. Like a Pitbull with a bone won't let go!


Peter :)
 
I don' t really get this question, I think.

Do you mean what is going to take me out.. as in kill me, or what is going to have me ruined as a person?

I refuse to be ruined as a person. My soul is much to wise for that.
 
In one dimension of my thinking, I find life absolutely meaningless, and when that dimension dominates, it's difficult for me not to see that it's true.

LOL! Don't feel bad - I've been trying to integrate into Lit for years. Don't worry about integrating - just post & have fun. Screw em who don't get it. ;)

What is the thing that has you conquered? That you must succumb to. What is the thing that could bring you down!

I suppose my achilles heel is my procrastination. I do it so well. What is yours?

Love
 
Procrastination--and spending too much time here. And putting things off to spend time here. And tossing and turning at night when I'm thinking what other people might be writing here. OMG, change my answer--it's Literotica.
 
Fear

Fear of the unknown will overcome me for anything

allright here is something new lets try it... wait wait... what if? and? and? oh shit... I don't want to do it now... should I? hay look too late now.
 
Compassion

Not showing enough when it is merited.

Showing too much when I'm being told an old wives tale.
 
Mine would be procrastination. It takes me forever to do anything. I have to think about all the outcomes, which ones are better, yadda yadda yadda..........

That, or my laziness. Both are running rampant.
 
My downfall is a killer combination of biting off more than I can chew and putting off swallowing.
