"Very often my films are about the conflict between our ideas and our desires, and that's where the drama is for me. We know how we're supposed to act, but we're constantly in rebellion against the things we've been taught, and our hearts and bodies are telling us other things. That's true from Body Heat right through to Wyatt Earp--you have an idea of how you should live your life, but it's very difficult to live up to that. That's the material that interests me."-- Lawrence Kasdan (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Body Heat, The Bodyguard)

Great statement. I think that's why I believe that the word "flaw" is not actually the best thing.
I prefer "negatively-impacting social traits" as flaw seems overarching whereas these things are only a problem when we interact - especially in cinema where we want juxtaposed personalities which respond negatively to your social traits.
