Hmmmm. Only a top three? I think a lot of people might think I have more than that but there are three traits that stand out for me.
1. A lack of self confidence. Anyone who has seen me at work standing up in front of over a hundred people and presenting may well disagree but I am actually quite shy. I get incredibly nervous in new social situations and I spend a lot of time over analysing whether I'm good enough for a particular situation or circumstance. I have been working on this for years but recent events have proven to me that I've not quite tackled it yet.
2. Argumentative spirit. I like to make my point, especially because I'm good at making said point eloquently both in writing and verbally. However sometimes this urge to ensure my point is made means I end up bickering with people. That's not to say my point of view is not correct, usually I have a clear and coherent viewpoint that others will support. I guess the issue is that sometimes I really do need to know when to let something drop. On the plus side however I'm excellent at getting what I want from banks, councils etc.
3. Laziness. I'm the queen of procrastination and doing nothing. I can be as efficient as I want Monday to Friday working hours but outside of that I practically have to be coerced into doing what is needed, even when that something is a pleasant treat. If I could get away with spending my weekends and evenings vegetating then I'm sure I would do that. Unfortunately the to do list of doom is always there waiting for me and I battle against completing it on a daily basis.
I'm sure there are others but these would be my top three.
