I think that i have many strengths and weaknesses as a person. One of my strengths is making other people happy. I love to make other people smile and have a good time. If sombody is having a bad day, i always try to cheer them up. A weakness i might have as a person is that i'm not really good at meeting new people, so i could probably work at that a little more, and be more outgoing. You could take a weakness and turn it into a strength by just working at it, and get over whatever is making you weak in that department. I always think its good to have a few weaknesses though, because everybody does, and nobody's perfect. That is what i think about strengths and weaknesses as a person.

Some of my greatest stenghts as a person are that I am easy to get along with, I'm helpful, and trustworthy. I am easy to get along with because I am open to pretty much anything, I will always listen to what some one has to say even if I dont want to talk about it. I am helpful person because I like to help people, if anyone ask's me for help I will always try to help to the best of my ability. I am trustworthy because i treat other people and there things exactly how I want people to treat me and my things. The only weakness I have as a person that i can think of right now is that I am very shy. A lot of the time if someone talks to me that i dont realy know I will usualy talk very quitly, which I wish I could stop doing. One of the worst things about being shy to me is that its hard to meat new people, and talk to people I dont know.

I believe that i have many strengths and weaknesses. One of my strengths are make other people laugh. Whenever one of my friends is in the dumps, they come to me and i try to make them feel a lot better. One of my many weaknesses is to be shy. On most days, i can't just walk up to a regular person and start a conversation. I'm usually not up to meeting new people. I could work on this by just keep trying to gain the confidence to talk to other people and get more friends.

As part of being a human everyone has social strengths and weaknesses.My strength is once i know some one i am very friendly and make them feel comfortable. My weakness is meeting new people i like to stay around the people i already know. things that can increase a weakness many different ways. one of the ways i could increase my weakness i could step outside my comfort box. or you can start talking to someone slowly then as you grow on them they will grow on your which will then make your friends. that is what i think about human strengths and weaknesses.

My greatest strengths are probibly going to be humor,personality and probibly fun. Humor because i always make people laugh even when im not trying. Personality because im not some stuck up punk, im very laid back and easy to get along with. I trest others how i would like to be treated. Fun because i don't really like doing the same thing over and over. I hate falling into a ruteen. ( spelled wrong ) I like to switch it up a little and do fun things. My weakness is probibly going to have to be temper and impacient. I have a little bit of an anger issue, if you catch me on the wrong day i might break your head off. I also hate waiting.

As a person I have a few strengths and weaknesses. One strength I have is that I like to talk to people. This is a good thing because I get to meet many new people. It's also good because I get to learn other peoples points of views. One weakness I have is that I normally talk to the same people. This is bad because it doesn't help me open up my variety of friends. That is a bad thing because then I don't get to talk to many people.

For me, I believe I have many strengths along with weakness. One of my strengths is that I am very outgoing. I talk a lot and I get to meet new people by doing so. Also, I have a great deal of confidence in myself and it shows in ways that benefit me. Lastly, I am a good leader. People follow me by example and it feels good when I get to help someone out. With my strengths come a few weaknesses. To start, I expect a lot out of myself, and sometimes I push myself over the limit. Another weakness of mine would be that I can be impacient at times. I don't like to wait on people either. Admitting to your strengths and weaknesses make you a better person.

When it comes to strengths and weaknesses, lets face it, as humans we have ALOT of them. Thinking to some strengths and weaknesses that i find important out of the many few. I have to say that one of my strengths to which i interpret in many diffrent ways. Is that i can easily find new ways to entertain myself and sometimes even others. Sadly a weakness that pertains to this strength is that sometimes i am unaware that my form of 'entertainment' may be seen as weird or annoying to other people. Learning and changing your strengths and weaknesses at times i find is a great way to learn more about other and yourself. Heck there are times where our strengths and weaknesses change and we dont even know it!. Being able to reckognize these several strengths and weaknesses tho in my opinion is the first step to becoming that much better of a person.

I have a lot of strengths along with weaknesses. I think my biggest strenght is the ability to make others feel included and happy. Seeing people smile and laugh makes me feel like I have done a good deed. It's a really good feeling to know that I put someone in a better mood. I have two weaknesses that seem to be pretty big. The first is, I am too outgoing at times. I don't know when I am too over the top. It's like I don't think about it, and it doesn't click with me. Most times, I don't stop to think about what I am saying or doing. The other big weakness I have is I hold grudges and I don't forgive easily. I'm pretty sure the reason I do this is because I over think things. I start asking myself questions like "will it happen again?" and then other guestions start popping into my brain. After I am done thinking about all of this, I find it very hard to forgive, so I stay mad. If you work at fixing your weaknesses, they could eventually become a strenght.

In life, each and every person has their own set of strengths and weaknesses. Lets face it, most young teenagers believe they only have strengths. Deep deep down, we know they are there. Myself, I feel as if being outgoing and sociable are my strenghts. Being passionate without the fear of failure is what I have learned to achieve over time. My weaknesses make me vulnerable but they still loom in the back of my mind. Staying on task and losing focus on the goal is what can bring me down. In order to turn this to a strength, I need to eliminate all possible distractions around me, to keep my eyes on the goal. The only way to accomplish this is believing in myself.

I have many strengths along with many weaknesses. one of my strengths is that i can get along with almost anyone. what i mean by this is that there is really nobody in the school that i dislike. I also have friends in many different groups of people. one of my weaknesses is that im not very good at remembering names. i could get better at this just buy paying more attention and practice. another one of my weakness is doing homework. i have trouble with it because i hate doing it and i tend to forget about attainments from time to time. I could fix this buy using a planer unless if forget to use it.

I think I have many strengths and weaknesses. One of my strengths is making people laugh and believe in themselves. I love putting others before myself in order to make them happy. Making others smile and have a good day is what makes me have a good day. As for my weaknesses i'm not good at saying things the way they are if its going to sound mean, i have to sugar coat everything which can sometimes be misleading to people. I can take this weakness and make it into a strength by saying what I mean in a nice way that is not misleading to my peers. I work on this everyday and will continue to do so.

my greast strength would have to be stragitizing. i like to think about where would i go to be the most stealth and where would they most likely look. another strength have to be figuring out stuff quick like if im playying a game ill figure out ways to make me win a lot easyer.but my main weakness would have to be hights. i can take that weakness and turn it into a strength by going on trips that required me to go on high thinhgs. i could also try going higher a little bit at a time for one mounth and see where that gets me.that is what i could do to make my weakness into a strength.

I think i have many strengths and weaknesses. One of my weaknesses is that i can be too shy when i first meet someone. I'm an extreamly outgoing individual when you get to know me. But when i first meet you i probably come off too shy. You could turn a weakness into a strength by just practicing that weakness. If you keep practicing it it will get better. One of my strengths is i can make people happy. I'm a really smiley person and i make alot of jokes and i love to make others day better.
