Day 24, Friday: Your top 3 worst traits

On top of Haleakala on Maui

 Since we're being serious about today's prompt, here goes:

1. I'm the worst friend ever. I have friends that have been around since junior high, and thankfully their lives are busy and they don't seem to care that I suck at being a friend, since we get together maybe once a year. But other friends? Friends I've just met or have known for, say, less than 10 years?
I SUCK.

I'm bad at returning phone calls, I am bad at sending birthday cards (tho I am actively working on it), and I'm just generally bad at being regular about cultivating relationships. I think its been this way for at least since I met Adam over 9 years ago. I just sort of... stopped trying as hard. And I feel bad about that.

2. I have a tendency to be pessimistic. In my reality, I see it as being 'realistic', but since the Law of Attraction is an actual thing (call it reciprocity, karma, whatever), I find that I get more crap when I think more crappily. Bad habit. Want to change. (I said that in a robot voice).

3. I get discouraged easily. Maybe this goes with number two, or the fact that I've been insecure lately, but truth be told, this is my biggest obstacle towards expanding my career. I am afraid of failing and if I hit a snag, I kind of freeze. Again, bad habit. Not sure where it came from (or if it matters, really?) but something I'd actively like to change.

So there you have it! I don't know what the other blog topics are right now (and I'm trying to keep it a surprise and only know what it is when I sit down to write), but I sure hope I get to start tooting my own horn a little more! *BEEPBEEP* Coming through!

Do you have any tricks to combat these three negative traits above? If so, mind sharing? :)
