We've all got at least one, I am curious to learn whether you know of yours or not. To get things rolling I'll start: mine is that I'm way too shy for my own good so it's really hard for me to connect with people and sometimes because of it they think I am stuck up. So, what's yours?

I'm too blunt. Waaaaay too blunt. lol, I tend to tone it down on CC a little but I'm brutally honest. I'm the type of person that says things you really aren't "supposed" to say.

Hmm? What do you mean by "hamartia"?
In the NT, the word hamartia is translated "sin."

Probably always trying to get the last word in. I'll do it without even realizing it sometimes. >.<

I'm a perfectionist. So much time and effort wasted on little details that don't matter at all in the long run. Relax Grace... breathe. Let it GO. :rolleyes:

Try saying that when you've had a few drinks (of alcohol)! :p

I like to get things done when they should be done, so I guess that lets me off that one!

i have such hopeful optimism that it often gets me in big trouble. few things rise to my unrealistic expectations, especially myself.

in that same vein, i also tend to see the very best in people often without focusing on their flaws as easily.

sometimes this has bit me pretty hard.

I really like that little brother because I'm like that. But maybe on a milder way, meaning, if I have something good to say I'll say it. If not, I'll keep my mouth shut, but if I am asked or forced to say my opinion n' it's negative, then I'll say it the way it is.

I'm an anxious person who always forgets that Philippians 4:6 says be anxious for nothing. It's a bad habit that I'm working on it because it makes me tired n' sometimes I rush things n' end up losing them as they should happen at the right time n' NOT according to my time. :)

Hamartia means sin, breaking a divine or moral law. But sometimes it is used metaphorically. We say "ine amartia" meaning close to "it's a pity".

I've never heard of the word "hamartia" before. I don't have heaps of confidence and I'm not a risk-taker.

I tend to Romanticize things. I see light and hope in people and situations. I try to breathe a sort of cryptic aesthetic into people's lives. Rarely does anyone get it, but I still do it.

I cling to a hope that someone can understand what I'm doing when I encode something beautiful for them to discover. But really this is just leftovers from an idea I once had, that people share a sort of secret language inside themselves full of wonder and depth waiting to be tapped into. And through this language we could have a sort of shared meaning that is all our own, that no one else can touch.

People are wired differently, sometimes so different from one another that no matter how much I seek something like this with someone it simply isn't there to be found. Sometimes it is. My error in judgement is assuming everyone WANTS something like that.

Hi mate! Where have I been hiding? Rachel asked me the same question. I've been here on CC quite a bit of late. You only need to check my Profile to verify. Do you mean the Singles chat room as in where we talk via camera? Bless you brother.

I don't have any sins, I'm perfect! No wait, I guess that would be arrogance and pride!

Seriously, those are sins of mine, which I am praying for God to change me and to become humble!

Insecurity in myself/lack of self-confidence. I must come across differently in some areas, though, because a friend of mine wrote me a note saying that she looked up to me and my confidence. Say wha? :p Or maybe I think I'm more insecure than I am?

Along those lines...

Overthinking.
