    Can't give up if you don't start anything.

    I have brilliant dedication, but poor motivation. If you want me to, I'll go & learn Bohemian Rhapsody on guitar (With the piano arranged for guitat as well!) & I wont stop until it's learnt. But it's just getting me there really. I rarely give up.

    It depends. Usually in sports, I don't give up, cos I just get really competitive. In learning an instrument, I give up if I completely suck at it. For driving, I did kinda give up when I first started learning cos I sucked. But then I got back into it and I'm fine with it now.

    I'd like to think I never give up, yada yada yada, but there are some times where things feel really hopeless. The only reason I seem to go on is because I feel an overarching sense of God urging me to do what I must. I don't know if that is giving up, in a sense, to the overwhelming control of God, and his Fate, but I think it adds another dimension to the conversation.

    Partly because I dont like confrontation, and will back down almost immediately, and partly because I'm incredibly weak-willed.

    I've even given up before I started something because of cowardice. It's a bad problem with me, and one I have trouble fixing.

    I don't give up easily. Like in sports, I don't give up. I'm too competitive for that, even if my team sucks, and I'm the only one doing anything, I won't give up.
    I'm stubborn too, so I won't give up in an arguement... Unless I get bored saying 'Yes, it is'.
    The only time I give up is when I'm tired, bored or I just can't get the answer to the question.

    Similarly, if there's a girl I'm interested in and I have anyreason to believe she and I couldn't wind up together, I give up any thought of trying anything.
    Yeah, that's what I meant when I said I give up before I even try. I just chalk it up to cowardice, and move on.

    Nope, I don't quit. Usually, once I get my sights on something I don't stop until it's done.
    The itching sensation is a good thing.

    One of my biggest flaws; whenever someone challenge me, I won't give up, I can't let go.

    I never give up. If I want to get something done, then I will do it no matter what the obstacle is.

    If something really matters to me, I won't back down or give up.

    If it was a passing whim? Probably will quit when I get bored.

    I'm sure you can appreciate the distinction.

    I guess sometimes I'm persistant and sometimes I'm not.

    When I fail to do stuff, I get mad and upset and it gets harder to do right (except in math class where it makes me redouble my efforts to not get a BxD)

    I guess it really goes down to how much patience I have. I have quite a bit of patience, but if I get upset or irritable, it all flies out the windowxD Myself failing in doing something is a good way to get irritated, too -_-
