Deficiency is the lack or shortage of something. It is when something is not enough. A lot of times when you hear of deficiency, your mind goes to nutrition or shortage of certain nutrients in the body.

However, deficiency is not only about nutrition. There are other areas of life that deficiency can be linked to.


Deficiency in someone’s character is another common type of deficiency in life. It is when there is a flaw in someone’s character. For instance, if someone is greedy, it is a character deficiency. Other examples include a short temper, lying, egotism, and so on.


Deficiency in character spells negativity for whoever has it, it is, therefore, wise to do something about it. You have to acknowledge that you need help, make a decision to change, and visit a professional therapist who can help you.
