The Eight Deadly Defects of Character
(adapted from D. Anderson, PhD)
Dishonesty/lack of authenticity/wearing a mask

Pride/vanity/need for things to be "my way"/need to always be "in control"

Pessimism/gloomy disposition/being stuck in a "victim role" (this is closely associated with anger, bitterness, and resentment)

Social, emotional, and spiritual isolation

Sloth/laziness/passivity/living the unexamined life

Gluttony/unwillingness to self-discipline/need for the "quick fix"

Self-debasement /excessive self-denial & self-sacrifice

Greed/lust/envy/materialism
