​Curiosity strikes again however this topic bares vulnerability so it's completely understandable if some of you are uncomfortable answering it. That being said, what is YOUR achilles heel? We all have them that one thing which makes us weak, share with us if you dare. :eek:

Mine would have to be the emotional stuff, I have never been able to do or say something that I thought would cause someone else emotional pain or hurt them in anyway no matter how unhappy I was. There are times where I have been taken advantage off, and I knew what was happening but I kept my mouth shut all for the sake of not offending the other person or hurting them.

Not saying this is a good thing or justifying it because this 'weakness' has lead me to make many bad choices in life, staying in an abusive relationship, protecting someone even after they did something horrendous, changing my career path, walking away from my own happiness. So yeah, there we go, my achilles heel is other people's emotions. What's yours?

French Fries. Any kind. lol I love them so much sometimes I forget to share, or don't like sharing. XD

Also chocolate. I'll almost never say no to chocolate.



Kidding :) Well, mostly...


My Achilles heel would be acting out of emotions and/or letting my depression get the best of me. I can become a bit needy because of this. I refuse to make it become some dumb emotional attachment. Which is why sometimes I really need to be careful around people. Having friends is one thing. Being stalker-ish and joined at the hip with someone is another.

I really hope this doesn't scare y'all off. I've been getting a lot better with this over time, God's starting to show me when I'm starting to go towards that side. I'm ALWAYS grateful, too. I would have caused a lot of unneeded stress in my life and maybe in another person's if He hadn't shown me.

At times it would be not feeling good enough, that I am not worthy. At other times mild jealousy; like why is Person A talking to Person B, when Person A is more my friend then Person A is to Person B. Also I stress it sometimes gets the better of me.

That's kind of presumptuous.

I've realized that I'm a people pleaser. I want to be everyone's friend, and this just isn't possible. I end up being let down and even comprimising. Not good.
Pride is also a problem.

My weakness is I don't own a gigantic walking nuclear reactor with lasers and rockets.

I would totally order drive through in that thing if I owned it. Admittedly, low bridges might be a bit of a problem.

my tenderheartedness and emotional intensity/depth leave me rather vulnerable for becoming hurt.

thus, at times i will "lead" with my strength and independence.

i think the majority of people never look beyond the facade.

These are mine as well. Also, I'm emotional and over-think, which is a terrible combination.

I'm a trusting risk taker. WHoooooooooooooo.


I have to notch down the trust level if it's dangerous though.
