My personal shortcomings:

• I will prioritize serving others over my personal well-being and success.

• I will typically not back down from upholding core principles if violated.

• I have anxiety dreams almost every night.

• I can seem too matter-of-fact at times.

• I lack enthusiasm—at least in the outward sense—and will typically not display strong emotions to any event irrespective of significance or urgency.

• I am fine with dying and losing everything.

• I perceive emotions too strongly.

• My heart often confuses my mind. Or, perhaps, the true problem is that I often try to make a hard distinction between the two.

• I both perceive and absorb other people’s suffering too easily.

• I find it difficult to emotionally let go of things that are close to my heart.

• I fall in love far too easily.

• My life is an manifestation of the “with great knowledge comes great pain” principle. Overthinking is my natural mode of thinking.
