Greatest weakness is probably my ability to trust people. It was broken while I was very young and I guess it never fully developed. Even though I've healed a lot since then, I'm pretty sure I'll always be an outcast and a loner.

As a result, my greatest strength is self-reliance. I have a pretty remarkable capacity to learn and do things for myself. Whether it's the ability to seek and synthesize knowledge, the work ethic to accomplish all that needs to be done, or the perseverance to put off instant gratification in pursuit of loftier goals, I thrive in almost any task-oriented role.

It's really just people I struggle with. I've learned to keep things topical and focused, and that works for the most part, but I also always feel unease whenever anyone shows interest in me. It just makes me feel like they're up to something.
