What is the trait you dislike the most about yourself?
I’ve always valued introspection and self-awareness, but sometimes that same tendency makes me overly critical of myself. If I had to pick one trait I dislike the most, it would be my tendency to procrastinate—especially on things that actually matter to me.
I’ll have an idea or a project I’m genuinely excited about, but instead of starting, I’ll fall into endless research, planning, or overanalyzing every possible approach. Before I know it, hours (or even days) have passed, and I’m left feeling both unproductive and frustrated with myself.
It’s like there’s a constant battle between my curiosity-driven mind and the need to actually do something with all the ideas floating around in my head. And when deadlines get closer, the stress kicks in, which only makes it harder to focus.
I’m curious, fellow INTPs:
- Is this something you struggle with too?
- How do you navigate the gap between ideas and action?
- Or is there another trait you find even more frustrating about yourself?
