"If you've managed to quit alcohol - your greatest weakness - perhaps you've already found your greatest strength."
- Gandalf the Grey
I mean, in a way, it can't quit you...
Partial disability from a car breaking my neck and back, causing issues with posture :: I have super human strength and endurance I use to fuck up cars for fun
Ah takes me back so many years!
The game is "Street Fighter II", in case you have a senior moment like I did.
What really happened:

You’re not fighting E. Honda, you’re fighting A Honda.
It’s all in the packet.
My greatest strength is already also my greatest weakness: hyper focus from ADHD.
I’m now on time. People notice my punctuality, no one actually cares.
My greatest weakness is my passivity and inability to make decisions so honestly I have no idea.
You would become an incredible and charismatic leader, always capable of picking the right choice and carrying everyone forward.
You now have the ability and drive to always make decisions. Are they good ones? Who knows but they are decisions
Now I am immortal god.
A lot of people read this as "your greatest weakness is now gone" which makes sense given the video game slider analogy
Meanwhile I'm here like "how do I somehow, hilariously, become unstoppable by means of procrastinating everything"?
But I did think of it: significantly extend my lifespan by procrastinating dying :]
It's not a fortunate power, but time stops for everyone and everything until you are doing something that's even slightly productive.
The cosmic burden of knowing that all of time relies on you getting off the couch, grabbing a shower, and getting done whatever tedious chore you've been putting off. Constantly.
Not a boon, but a curse.
thanks i'm pretty sure you just gave my assigned personal hell demon ideas 💀
I’m a jack of all trades, master of none:m; so I’ll be a virtuoso of one thing.
Jack of all trade isn't a weakness.
-Sincerely, a jack of all trade.
I am procrastinate and don't fully commit to things: I am well planned and finish everything I lay my hands on.
I am happy and enjoy every moment of life.
I'm very forgetful, so I guess in this scenario I have an eidetic memory. I become one of those weird guys who wins every game show due to my fantastic recall of everything I've ever read, seen or heard.
I guess my head becomes invincible and nothing can hurt it and I feel no pain in my head, ever?
Crippling fear of rejection & confrontation. can't find a positive angle on this one.
Edit: now I understand the rules.
According to the rules of the post, you are now confident, persuasive, and loved!
And the best thing of all... it doesn't just have to be a fantasy. These are all qualities that can be learned, practiced, and refined over time. It's not easy, but it can become a reality!
I guess with no fear of confrontation, or being rejected, you'd be a great sociopath/politician/CEO? Positive angle is you might be rich
I break everything I touch -> I fix everything I touch
The other day I saw the clock in the bathroom stop working. I swapped the batteries and it stopped working entirely.
I'm gonna be social and charismatic af
I have always said if I could re-roll my stats I would trade whatever amount of intelligence I supposedly have to be dumb as a box of fucking rocks with a ludicrous amount of charisma.
I'm undepressable and I don't have ADHD anymore
All those walls and furnitures will miss you ricocheting off them.
WHERE DID YOU PUT THE CAMERAS
i can walk again :)
My gremlins that used to crawl over every inch of my home taking things apart, leaving things in senseless places, and constantly asking for food, a listening ear and a hug - are now helping me out around the house, listening when I need another perspective and generally helping keep me out of trouble.
TL;DR - Just parenthood, if all goes to plan...
I become capable of doing everything I want to, when I want to do it, instead of overthinking and second guessing myself.
I then work my way up to becoming an uploaded intelligence and abolishing capitalism. /s
The world is invaded by day walker vampires somehow. Most of the human population is dead or turned, those remaining live under a cloud of distrust and paranoia - anyone could be a vampire. even the people you know could've been turned since you last saw them.
I don't notice. Because of social anxiety, I stayed indoors.
My love care and empathy for other people has made me the most lovable woman in my country and the most suitable spokesperson for humankind
Reality: I dont like people and my interactions with them , especially when I was young (partys.and stuff) only bolstered that feeling
I feel like I'm reading a description of myself.
maybe i shouldn't have tried to hard to "fit in" and be a socialite back i the day, maybe i wouldnt have such a big dislike of people as i have today
Well, now that I don't absolutely suck at talking to strangers and don't fumble my words, my life just got a lot easier.
Not my weakness becoming a strength, but going away and now I am a different person, my inverse? But my strengths do not become weaknesses?
Disorganization is my bane, and a complete inability to multitask, so I guess I would either be obsessive/compulsive or would be able to be an executive assistant or politician.
I can never be angry. Hmm guess I would change my career to be some guy who teaches seminars or does anger management sessions. Or maybe IT for the DMV.
I go from being a socially awkward and unattractive virgin to suddenly being able to pull multiple women in a night.
I become responsible
God I need this one.
I'm suddenly a prolific businesswoman and a CEO of my own corporation with millions of employees and I am thriving in life.
I can digest any food at all without bloating, gas or suddenly urgent toilet trips.
