30 Days about Me- Days 13 & 14

Day 13: 5 of my strengths & Day 14: 5 of my weaknesses

I put these together because I think they go hand in hand... I think you can't talk about one and not the other, so rather than doing one subject one day and another the next, you get it all at once!! 

Yes, I like to break the "rules!!" Call me a rebel :)

So... 

Strengths

*Empathetic- My heart goes out to people. My heart breaks with other's heartaches. My heart rejoices with other's joy!

*People Person- I circle myself with people... I do not enjoy just being alone. I don't go to movies alone or out to eat by myself. If I can't be with people, I'd rather not go out!

*Blunt, yet diplomatic- If you want my opinion, I am not scared to give it...tactfully (most of the time)

*Cooking- I LOVE cooking, AND I am good at it!

*Positivity... I am almost always upbeat and happy. Even when I am as sick as a dog and have to call into work, I greet the manager on the phone with a very perky "hello, how are you!" before explaining my ailments! They probably think I'm faking, but really, in the middle of crap, I am happy! I do my darndest to find the good in every situation- sometimes it's more difficult to find, but it's always  there!

and

Weaknesses

*My OCD moments tend to annoy people sometimes! LOL.. but really, nobody does it perfect like me!

*Sometimes I care TOO much about people that it makes me physically ill... I sometimes over-empathize 

*Blunt... yep... that's a strength AND a weakness. Sometimes I say it like it is and unintentionally hurt people. 

*I am not very creative or imaginative.

*Harsh reality alert... UGH... I can be a lazy procrastinator! OUCH, right?? I'd much rather sit on the couch and watch life happen than get up and get involved in it. *might need to work on that!
