I think I need to disagree. Sure, there are situations in which people are told they are certain things and it's not true. So, yeah, that happens.
I'm talking about self-realized, self-acknowledged character weaknesses. And of course, there IS an emotional reaction to them also, in my case. But the emotional reaction is NOT the flaw.
