My biggest flaw and favorite thing about myself is that I am really nice to people. Sometimes overly nice. I will pretty much give you a room in my house rent free for over a year, so that you can get yourself back on your feet nice. But I've also erupted like a volcano in the past when I get mad about something or feel like I've been taken advantage of. And maybe, just maybe I make it easy for people to take advantage of me.
There's a difference between being nice and being a doormat. It's often tough to measure the line, though.
Sometimes I find myself unable to say 'no' when I really should. It's gotten better as I've taken on more of a managerial role at work and now have subordinates who I get to order around. Sometimes, you just have to put your foot down. You don't have to do it aggressively, but being assertive is actually a skill, and something that people learn over time.
Never underestimate how far a little assertiveness can get you.
