Let’s Talk #2 – Overcoming Weaknesses

My biggest weakness is me. 😊

My biggest weakness is I am a laid back person 🙂

Your posts are interesting and yes this is great initiative yar.
Communication is the most confusing thing.. It helps u when u r alone and fears u when u r in crowd.. but I believe managing with what I have is what I do when I m in crowd.

I have this confidence and self worth issue with me and I am trying every bit of it .. but whenever I do something or try to do something for others they start taking me for granted ..I feel so worthless at times

Who r u?

Naming all my weaknesses would take all day. The main weakness that branches off into many different weaknesses, however, is my lack of self-confidence. Due to a lack of self-confidence, I often doubt myself and am unable to produce any good results as I do not believe that what I do will lead to a positive outcome. At the same time, this results in a continuous decrease in self-confidence. This often leads to an inferiority complex. Everyone else begins to look so much better than me from my perspective. Everytime someone accomplishes something, I use it as evidence to reaffirm my stand that I am the worst and most incapable person around. As a result, I become attention seeking. However, being socially awkward around most people, I end up trying to rack up accomplishments online and achieve almost instant self-gratification. For example, I started off as an anime quote editor on Instagram @amquotesnoob. By posting anime quote edits that I created to relieve stress, I started to get addicted to the joy of receiving tons of likes within a few hours. However, after a while, even that was not enough. Due to the fact that I spent a lot of time on my captions and few people read them, I felt that I needed a new avenue to express my thoughts. I need others to reaffirm that what I think is not wrong because I do not trust myself…

To sum it all up… I think I am just someone with low self-esteem, self-confidence and unable to feel at ease unless others reaffirm my thoughts and beliefs… which led to the creation of my blog…

I guess you could say it’s a gamble. If my blog falls through and dies, my self-esteem and confidence would plummet further. If it ends up doing decently and I can somehow make at least enough money to cover the cost of getting a paid WordPress account over the span of two years, my self-esteem and confidence would increase…

Though the fact that I took such a gamble also shows that I may no longer be lacking that much in confidence… perhaps it was replaced by arrogance built up by my relative Instagram success topped with ignorance of how difficult it is to grow a blog and gain a following.

Whatever it is, I could analyse each and every action I’ve taken and likely derive another weakness of mine so I’m just gonna stop here.
