What do you think is your biggest flaw? What have you done about it?

I think my biggest flaw would be my inability to let go of the past.  For me, my life doesn't just exist in the present, but it has its own flow of life into the past as well.  My mind always seeks to understand a situation.  The problem is that so many things in my past I don't understand.  So I forever machinate and manipulate the situation in my head until I get an understanding.  Going through what people said, what I said, what people did, what I did, over and over again, looking for new insight into what happened.  This is were an idemic memory is not a good thing.  I don't forget.  Some would say that's a good thing, but if you knew how much it kept me from growing positively, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.  It's like being chained to a chair in a movie theater that only plays the the worst moments of your life.  Its reliving the worst moments of your life, trying to make sense out of them from a reasonable stand point, not to justify them, but to understand them for what really happened.  And I'll tell you it doesn't always work out, somethings from when I was a child, I still try to understand, how crazy is that!

So on to the second part of the question, what have I done about it. Well, not much.  But I've started this new thing that's been helping me.  See I think the root of a lot of this is that I keep to much of my thoughts and feelings inside of my head.  This causes them to store-up, the root of the problem.  I found that if I'm just super honest about what is going on, I don't really hold on to the emotions and thoughts as firmly, which means they don't really fight for my attention.  Half the reason I started going through all these questions. It just helps me to focus and ultimately be myself.  Ultimately, that's why I think not letting go of the past is my biggest flaw because it keeps me from being myself.

That of course, and not being able to say no. :P!
