Ohh I couldn't help noticing the first answer - Procrastination. I'd have to go with that one. I read a little bit about this "condition" at one time and it was interesting that the writer of the piece said that procrastinators often delay getting into a job, or task of any kind because they have a "perfectionist" streak and they can't bear the thought of messing up and doing less than a perfect job.
I hated it that I recognised myself. I know I am one, and I absolutely do need to produce the most perfect possible result when I go to do something. When I actually get into my project, I usually do do a great job of it. But my Mantra has always been.... "Preparation is nine tenths of the job" and therein lies the problem. The preparation for me can be fussy and tedious, and I don't want to get started until I have everything just lined up perfect. It's really a miserable shame because when I think of how much quicker I could probably have got something done, just as well, by simply rolling up my sleeves and plunging in, I'm sure I would have a ton more stuff finished to look at with satisfaction. Ahh, it's one thing to know what's wrong with ya, and a whole other thing to actually fix it. I've been telling myself for years that I really have to do something about it. It's just the damn preparation that foils me every time.

The fact that I never stand up for myself, so I loose out on many things and get treated baddly because I wait to say something when my feelings are hurt until things have escalated to the point of pain.

I have a tendency to be a very jealous person. That is also one of the things I wish I could change about myself

I am way too shy. It sucks I hate social events where I do not know people. Job interviews are the worst.
