For some people their greatest strengths can be their greatest weaknesses. I have a particular strength that falls into this category.
Talking was something I loved doing from a very early age. If you missed a tv programme or anything for that matter, I am the person to tell you what happened. I tell you the whole story not leaving any details out. I am so thorough that you don't even need to ask me any questions because I would have answered all your questions in telling you the story.
Communication is my thing...most of the time it is one of my greatest strengths but sometimes it can also be my greatest weakness. The reason why I say this is that sometimes when people ask me a question I normally will give them the full explanation rather than leaving all the other details out and just provide the answer to the question. It is because of this that I sometimes lose the interest or attention of the person that I am talking to.
I need to learn to read people before I start communicating with them. Figure out if I can give them the whole story or just provide the answer. It is very difficult though...this is the way I communicate and it is not easy to force myself to just provide a short answer to the question.
This is the reason why some people get frustrated with me...but most of the people know what I am like and are used to the way I communicate. So yes, your greatest strengths can be your greatest weaknesses.
