Yep. This. I just straight up tell people I often have unrealistic expectations of people. It doesn't mean I'm a complete jerk, but I can be and I try really hard not to be. Most importantly I am USUALLY able to recognize when this weakness comes through, and when it does how to improve and prevent it.Regarding the weakness stance--my take is to just be genuine about it and then try to demonstrate how you are aware of your weakness and working towards improving yourself. You should be self-reflective enough to know what your weaknesses are and you should definitely be working on ways to improve yourself (or if not then start now). Even if the weakness is "bad", I feel being candid and honest about it is a stronger response than being cliche. I focused on an actual weakness (a particular area of communication) that pre-med me was afraid of raising red flags with and it certainly didn't prevent me from getting multiple acceptances.
The interview is about finding out who you are. So be the real you--the person awesome enough to get that interview spot--and don't stress about it.
