100. RE: You're Just a Liability
Jul 3 2011, 8:38 PM EDT
My biggest liability? Thinking.I take as much time as necessary to make a decision. I analyse everything, and won't be rushed into a decision. This tends to annoy those with short attention spans, and the impatient. Post-Z it will probably cause a lot of friction in any group I am a part of. I am also too cautious. I will probably play it safe too much, and miss out on opportunites because I focus more on the risk than the reward. Do you find this valuable? |

I'm not a risk taker, I worry about small things like a crack in the floor rather than the hole next to it & whether or not its a bad thing I don't know but I care little about anyone that is of no benefit to me. In a 'team' I'm fine because everyone in that group has a mutual goal. I care more for animals than people & have a savage temper (not exactly a good trait for a social worker but in a survival scenario I'd suck it up).

Well, as for advantages:I'm in pretty decent shape, never smoked, drank, chewed, etc in my life. I'm a martial artist, and play soccer and paintball on a regular basis. Can run, jump, and carry a lot of weight, like a pack mule, at the same time. Given time, I can solve most problems. I can create and execute plans rather well. I'm usually rather open to changing and altering plans and designs as well when others give me input. However... My biggest weakness? I'm terrible with people. Seriously, I'm a *TERRIBLE* judge of character, it seems. I trust when I should distrust, I ignore when I should help, etc. And from this, I get screwed over in every possible way by 99% of the people I meet. Post Z? I’d probably be screaming at the rabbit while the bear comes up behind me. To make that worse, it seems more and more that the few people I do/did trust are changing faster than I can count them, and becoming somebody new, someone who I never would have befriended in the first place had they acted as such before. To be honest, I don't know if my horrible judgment is because I'm antisocial, or if I'm antisocial because of it. But more and more, I find myself flat out misanthropic, and desiring to simply shut away from people – quite possibly another disadvantage. To counter this, I would be absolutely devastated by the loss of someone in my family. Being the only people I feel connected to on the planet, if I lost someone from the group, it would be absolutely awful. Do you find this valuable? |

Continued:Additionally, sometimes I'm *too* open to others' input. If I'm building something, and someone says "No, it goes 1-4-3, not 1-2-3!" I'll sometimes just go with what they said because…. Because I dunno. Perhaps it’s a lack of Willpower. However, this is something I've been getting better with, as I simply talk more when trying to work things out. I'll explain things more and demand that they explain them to me. As others have said of themselves, I eat a *lot*. And constantly. I don't eat much more than the average person at a meal, but I eat two or three times as often in the same serving size. For example, I’ve eaten two breakfasts and two lunches today. Another is that I need a lot of time and/or a piece of paper to plan or work on something. Like I said, I can create and execute plans rather well. However, to reach the plans full potential, I need time to work through every detail, and that can prove extremely problematic with time constraints. BTW, excellent thread idea.

After a knee injury, probably not as tough as I still think I am. I still think I can do a 12-mile road march in full kit+full ruck in the standard 3 hours. Since I have a family, any bug out on foot will require me to be able to essentially do just that, since my wife will have a lighter load and responsibility for the children.I'm also very used to being in charge, and spend little time being wrong while quickly forgetting the times I was wrong. This makes me more arrogant than I should be during a time frame when nobody really knows what's going to happen. Do you find this valuable? |

I don't run...I just don't; never have I'll walk all day and into the night comfortably I just don't run... I know that it is something I should work on I can jog for a short burst but I don't run without a reason. Do you find this valuable? |

To be honest, I'd be a liability emotionally and physically. Try as hard as I might to seem otherwise, I wear my heart on my sleeve most days, and I try and be the mediator in the group even if I know some people just won't get along. I've been told I'm too trusting, and admittedly, I can be overprotective. Be it in my power, I would do everything I could to save people, even if it put me at risk.Physically, I'm slightly overweight, which coupled with a knee problem makes running or even walking for more than a few hours painful (This I have been working on to improve. So far, I've survived an entire four hours at a Renaissance Festival before having to sit down for a while). And even though I can overcome it when needed, I am severely afraid of heights, deep water (more than eight feet), and spiders. My hearing is wonky as well: multiple ear infections as a child left me with hearing that occasionally makes certain things sound louder or softer than they should. Sometimes, I can hear or notice things that I would otherwise miss, and I usually end up raising my voice because I can't often hear myself properly (again, been working on this A LOT).

Cheers for honesty and a plan to work on shortcomings. You may want to put one of those soft braces into your kit just to help with the discomfort. For the heights just work your way there a bit at a time. Just ride in a glass elevator and when you're comfortable enough go ahead and go higher hopefully that will help (I am no mental health pro and thus this is speculation) as for water and spiders I dunno what to do about those. Public pool and toy spiders maybe?I'm a smoker and working on quitting with the hopes that my endurance will improve. We can't all be savage survivors already but hey, do what we can right?

I have tried working with soft braces before, as well as other leg braces. None have really worked, and actually made the problem worse. Problem with it is that the doctor couldn't find out what was wrong with it, even with an MRI, so I try and tough it out as best I could. Being able to walk for as long as I can is an improvement from three years ago.And it's more or less the threat of drowning that scares me, even though I can swim quite well. Spiders, have had too many bad experiences with them. But I do agree on that point. Unless you truly are capable of being a total bad@$, knowing that you have weaknesses can help someone get stronger. Do you find this valuable? |

1. I am very distrusting of people. 2. I am slightly overweight. 3. I have a fear of open area heights, i am fine in an airplane, but looking down into a canyon or off a tall building scares me s***less 4. I am afraid to get attached to people, after my pet that i raised from birth got poisoned most of my emotions shut down, couple that with the fact that i was physically and emotionally group bullied all through elementary school. Adding also that my mother physically abused me for the first 11 years of my life. 5. I am afraid to lose some one very close and dear to me. 6. I tend to not care about other peoples feelings.

My main liability is bad back, plus bad knees and hip. Totaled a car in '84. Wouldn't have hurt so much, except I was walking and they ran into me. Bumper caught me 4 inches below the left knee, folded over the hood, took out the windshield, hood, grill, and bumper cover. Bounced off that car, hit a second, caved in the fender on it. Bounced hit the pavement, rolled over and thought to myself, don't move. Told the EMT's that my back was hurt, when they came for me.On the up side, I don't tend to panic for minor problems.

I punish some groups more than others say a smokin hot lady steals some bread she would get off with a smack on the wrist but if some fat guy did the same thing he would be forced to do several hours of labor.I am a minimalist I go through to much resources I over react over some really small stuff. I have a hard time asking for help. Do you find this valuable? |

These may be subjective, but here it goes:1. I tend to over-complicate things. More often than not, the most simple solution is not the first one to pop in my head. 2. I am not very good at making plans; I'm better at being reactive than proactive. 3. If im not intensely focused on something, I can get distracted very easily. Do you find this valuable? |

To be honest, I'm scare of being outside at night. Mostly because I live in the country and there's a ****-ton of wild animals around. When I was young I was attacked by 4 dogs three different times, so if I'm out at night and I hear dogs barking, I get freaked out. Probably something I should get over in case I need to bug out.
