List 5 flaws of somebody you think is "cool" or who you envy.

[freshjive]

List 5 flaws that they have. ie; fat, ugly, short, no style, no job, ****ty job, addicted to drugs...etc.

The point that Im trying to make is that these people that you think are so great are human and not really any better than you. They just dont let their flaws hold them back.

Do it!

[FBH]

Umm...well...I see what you're trying to do, but the problem is, I don't envy or see this person as cool because of their flaws. But other people seem to, so why not:

Lazy as ****
Addicted to drugs
Selfish and arrogant
Likes stealing things
Rarely shows concern for things other than drugs and sex

I get the point as it was stated in the first post in this thread. But is this really necessary? It seems like a very thin line between doing this and tearing other people down to make ourselves feel better.

Yes, there are people I think are "cool" and perhaps even envy, but I'd rather elevate myself to their level than drag them down to mine.

I know what you mean, but for me it's not about tearing the person down. Yes, it did make me feel better to list her flaws, but even as I was listing the person's flaws, I was thinking of her good characteristics, so for me it wasn't about tearing her down.

I actually agree much to what Patron just stated.

There are people I truly respect(not just find "cool" or envy), and it would hurt me to point out their flaws.

But to not ruin the thread, I suppose I could list out a few flaws, AND good attributes to balance it out(to save myself from karma maybe) about a general motherly figure *laughs*

Naggy but Caring
Impatient but Supportive
Embarassing but Humorous
"Experiments" with food but cooks with love.

People are people. Everyone has flaws. But let us celebrate them for making us who we are.

[My911GT2993]

Someone who I envy as they are more successful than me in nearly every aspect, and he's five years younger than me.
Flaw: He thinks he's a bit tough, and jokes about others, but I've been in more fights than him, Im less scared of a fight than hm, and I've got SA! He has never been in a fight, so his image is slightly false. But I wouldn't say anything, because I beleive people should have the freedom to be who they want (or put out whatever self-image they want)

[ecotec83]

-Only cares if he gets something out of it or needs you around
-binge drinker
-Self centered
-Wont compromise
-Two-faced, i can do this to you and it's fine, but do it to me and i'll freak out at you.

I used to envy this person for a lot more but he's such a jerk now i almost want nothing to do with him. The only thing i envy is his ability to attract great dates without doing a thing.

[EmDazzle]

Great personality and extremely likable and charming, good social skills, lots of friends, many of them from way back in high school, positive attitude and outlook, happy and well-adjusted

[kenny87]

uhh.......I don't know anyone I would consider cool. I've known a few ***holes in the past that people like for whatever reason, but I by no means think of them as cool.

[thewall]

-conceited
-spoiled
-catty
-tacky
-vain

[SeekingHappiness]

- no flaws (I'm dead serious)

[Stargirl09]

Someone who I envy who has it all, here are her 5 weaknesses:

1. She's a TOTAL slut
2. She's dumb
3. She's a chick with a dick, laughs like a man
4. She's self-absorbed
5. Her friends don't like her

I feel so CRUEL now! o.m.g. I do this alot, listing ways in my mind that that person isn't so great or how I am somehow better. I consider myself to be a nice person but honestly, it helps.

No offense but..why on earth would you envy this person?????

[Fairydust]

1. They're good at hiding their problems but they too have their insecurities.
2. They're vain.
3. They always have to maintain the cool front at all times.
4. People don't necessarily like the cool person but they usually fear them.
5. Who the **** says they're cool anyway?

Everyone I envy is so far removed from me that I don't know them well enough to know their faults. In the past, there was an ex's new boyfriend whom I envied. He was addicted to whatever substance crossed his coffee table, and extremely egotistical. Then I stopped wanting her back, and stopped envying him.

He's the only example I can think of, and that memory is from long ago.

It seems like the guys most of us guys envy... are just self-confident low-lifes.
