Your biggest shortcoming is you always thing you're right.

I don't want to be picky, but
shortcoming isn't quite the same as
error, at least not for me. Fallo =
fault or
error, but in the context of
Tu mayor fallo es que te crees que siempre llevas la razón, fallo = fault or shortcoming,
Fault /
shortcoming /
weakness /
defect - all suggest a continuous state of being, whereas
mistake is an instantaneous thing, thus incorrect above.
In a different context,
Tu mayor fallo could be
your biggest mistake
Your biggest mistake was marrying that woman.
Perhaps I am overreading the difference.
