> My flaw is speaking out against injustice. It's hard for me not to go and protect others.
My T and I talked about this very aspect in me just yesterday---the need I have to protect or rescue others in order to try to make up for what was lacking in my childhood. He helped me (or at least he tried, still working on it...) to realize that this is part of who I am. I come by it honestly, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. Of course not everyone needs or wants to be protected. And there are many ways to go about it. Or so we talked about.
Just wanted to re-frame for you. I hate the word "flaw" when applied to humans, especially one so special as you.
