What are your biggest weaknesses?

I had a job interview last week and, as per usual, got asked this question. Always makes me laugh as I feel like no one says their actual biggest weaknesses as they wouldn't get hired - my genuine weaknesses are that I am slapdash, pretty lazy and a terrible procrastinator. I usually try to say something that's truthful but not too awful - like I can take criticism personally but I am working on being thicker skinned.

What would your truthful biggest weaknesses be?!

Terrible procrastinator.
Not very tidy or good at cleaning/, gardening (probably linked to being a procrastinator)
Pizza, crisps, wine, blue cheese. Any cheese.
Buying yarn I don't really need for projects I'll probably never get round to making.

I am also slapdash and lazy in most areas of life. Unless it's something I really care about. Work rarely comes into that category!

I rarely try my best. Not really lazy per se but I don't think I've ever given anything 100% including my relationship and motherhood. Certainly not my job.

I try my hardest at motherhood and I think I am a good mum with happy well adjusted kids. But it's not 100% effort. Similarly my relationship is long lasting (20 years plus) and pretty happy but I could do more.

I am a bit selfish (see above) and insecure which makes me needy.

I can completely relate to that, I feel exactly the same.
