I'd have to say that mine would be both pride and sloth. Pride has caused me to be so completely stubborn and unrelenting in matters that really weren't that serious, I should have just let it go. Sloth because I'm a procrastinator and have been downright lazy about taking action in some ways that could have improved my life. Not that I'm in a horrible place, but I wonder where I would be if I hadn't hesitated on several important decisions.

I've gotten better at both, though.

Definitely PRIDE. I find it very hard to ask for help and just deal with my sh*t by myself. I've now heard that in every relationship in my life ( my Mum keeps on about it especiallly) and realise that it's ok to ask, it's not a sign of weakness at all.

Also WRATH, I have been such an angry person in the relationship I've just come out of it's ridiculous! By the end,anything he did to me, I did back. I stored everything he did in my mind and at some time or other, retaliated and said "now you know how it feels". It was changing me as a person, that's part of why I had to leave.
I don't want to end up as the bitter angry crazy cat woman down the street that all the kids are scared of!!

Wow, Princess, I've just gone through the same situation with the Wrath issue. I was so hell-bent on being vendictive because he treated me like crap. I hated letting another person have that kind of control over me. He's now with someone else and at first I was p*ssed because I felt like I lost, now I realize that I really won. He was just a waste of time. It hurts to leave a bad relationship, but just know that it was a blessing in disguise. You'll get through it and come out on top!

Looks like Pride is what's keeping a lot of people wrapped up, with Lust and Sloth in 2nd and 3rd.

Anyone brave enough to admit that Envy or Greed is keeping you down? Anyone? Going once.....going twice.......

What Malikia-Kali said. When my pride is stepped on my dignity sometimes feels like it has been pimp slapped. They not the same but they they are very close siblings.

Lust - Been married for 15 years but still look every chance I get. (shameful)
Gluttony - One day it will end (shameful)
Greed - Yeah, when it comes to money (shameful)
Sloth - Biggest procrastinator in the free world (shameful)
Wrath - Always want to get even but to afraid to hurt someone's feelings
Envy - Well, yeah. I wish that I was built like Halle
Pride - Man, if only I could have let that one go - The places I would be now.

Ok, Tony - I'm going to "Hell" - What a horrible discussion (smile).

Malakia-Kali, None of us really need all of the things that we have, but they make us feel good. You're not hoarding them, unable to share. So since you're a giver, it's OK if you keep gettin'! ; )

Sorry, am I being an enabler to your OCD?.....


Malakia-Kali said:

I don’t envy at all and while greed sounds harsh, in the true simplest form of the definition – I probably fit the descriptor. I can admit my flaws: I don’t need quite a bit of the things I have yet I keep getting and getting... What throws a wrench in my perception is -- I’m very generous so I use that to justify my sub-clinical obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). (read: OCD, as used, is code for greedy and spoiled).
*sigh* Woe. Is. Me.
