Weaknesses I never mentioned in job interviews

Easily distracted - I check my email and facebook every 5 minutes even when I am rushing report commentaries.
Short attention span - I get tuned out when people keep talking and talking. Again, I need a break like every 5 minutes.
Impatient - mainly with others' indecision, lack of logic/thinking in their questions, inefficiency.
Rude/Blunt/Direct - I don't like to beat around the bush unless absolutely necessary, and I try to avoid lying as much as I can, but often times I end up hurting people's feelings or offending them by being too direct and honest. I think I should try to do a better job keeping some of my thoughts to myself.
"Naive" - I believe in the good of people, even when they themselves don't believe in it. I give them the benefit of a doubt until they prove me wrong (let me down).
Self-centered - As much as I'd like to be sweet, considerate and accommodating, when it becomes too much and my own wants are sacrificed, I throw in the towel and walk out. Sometimes I wonder if I enjoy my own company too much. I prefer to travel alone. I'd rather have no company than bad company, no date than bad date. I prefer to work harder alone than work less but have to deal with people who drain all my energy.
"Too" free spirited - I am very spontaneous and don't do enough things with long-term benefits in mind. Between a boring but good husband-material guy and someone I can fall madly in love with right now, I most likely will pick the latter.
Bad with rules and orders - I do not take orders from people and I always break rules. Even my parents never told me what to do.
Miscellaneous: Clumsy, Silly, Moody, Bad at making my bed, Neat freak................

Across the Universe - Something

Beautiful scene, and the way he sings my favourite song.
