Gift and Grief
Do your gifts cause you grief?
Mine:
The gift:
-I must know everything.
The grief:
-I know a little about everything and a lot about nothing.
Your turn!
EDIT: NEW RULE
If you share some up thread and wish to acknowledge: = dittos!:[name],[name]...
Keep it pithy please!

The Gift: Astounding ability to shirk responsibility while sidestepping all consequences.
The Grief: I might have a future in politics, but that's about it. Oh, and also the lack of personal growth by avoiding failure and punishment.

The Gift: To completely understand and have the ability to emulate human emotion in every way desirable
The Grief: I'm left with only the knowledge that "familiarity breeds contempt" and any emotion I have is merely an act to be more "human" or some such garbage

Gift: Always thinking one step ahead of others.
Grief: This makes it hard to be genuine, because I've already had time to plan out my decisions/actions/reactions.

The Gift: I can hold to hope until I have what I want, almost no matter how long it takes.
The Grief: I too soon lose interest in what I wanted, or soon decide that I want something else instead, etc.

Gift: Ability to block out emotion, in essence become numb to it.
Grief: When I want to feel emotion and know I that I should feel emotion, I often can't.

The Gift: I can make believable lies off the top of my head, and never feel guilt for it
The Grief: I'll only get worse.

Witty bastard. +50 points.
Gift: Nice.
Grief: Apparently "nice" is out this season. This month it's all about "tactless and domineering."

The Gift: I have a great imagination and an endless stream of ideas.
The Grief: I can get - hold on a minute.... - okay, where was I? Oh yes, that's right - sorry, just bear with me a second..... - right, I'm all yours. No, I just gotta...... Okay, I'm here now. The Grief: I can get a bit dispersed!
