My Weaknesses

As for my weaknesses, these are lack of confidence, overthinking, too focused, procrastination, and impulsiveness. Ever since I was a child, I have not been very confident about myself, I easily get shy around other people except those who I am comfortable with. I also lack confidence when it comes to public speaking, but I try my best to overcome it since public speaking is one of the important traits in academics as well as in the field of work. Also, one of my weaknesses is overthinking. I overthink everything I do and say, and it affects my mood that results in low self-esteem, distractedness, mood swings, and I tend to isolate myself from other people. I also consider as my weakness the trait of being too focused because when I'm too focused on doing a specific activity, I tend to forgot to do other important things, I let myself starve just to finish what I'm doing, I don't care if I'll stay up late because I just want to finish the activity I'm doing, and being too focused affects my knowledge and skills in doing a specific activity because it makes my mind to think many things/ideas that makes my mind crowded which resulted to having poor decision-making skills in making a specific activity or when facing a situation. In contrast, even though one of my weaknesses is being too focused, one of these is also procrastination. Sometimes I tend to become too focused on doing an activity, but there are also times that I procrastinate especially if there are a lot of activities to do because it makes me feel overwhelmed that resulted in postponing doing those activities, and that is one of my weaknesses because I feel like I'm wasting time instead of doing those things/activities right away. And lastly, I am impulsive in doing things that's why I consider it as a weakness. One of the examples is online shopping, I tend to buy a lot of things impulsively, even though I don't really need that specific thing/s, as long as it's cute, or I think it will look good on me or it will look good in my room, I will buy that right away without thinking if I really need it or if it is essential. I also decide impulsively when I'm too happy, sad, or angry, which results in bad outcomes because I don't think carefully before making a decision. And even though I have these weaknesses, I'm doing my best everyday to become better and to slowly overcome these weaknesses.
