Great question!
I would say:
1. Pride (particularly "leaning on my own understanding".)
2. Fear/Anxiety/Restlessness at not knowing the outcome of any given situation.
3. Covetousness -- not in the sense of money, cars, and fancy things. I've seen the sorrows and worries those things can bring.
Rather...
I grew up as one of the only Asians is a small white town community, so I grew up coveting white features so that I could fit in. This has carried over into my adult life, often coveting other's physical attributes (height, body type, eye color, etc.) but even more than that, skill sets that I don't have.
I have some friends whom I envy for their ability to be able to retain Biblical teachings (they're literally walking Concordances,) another who has a level of compassion and forgiveness I could only hope to have an ounce of, and others who have all the abilities that seem so much more useful in this current society (tech and mechanic skills, etc.)
I've always been someone who really has to put in a ton of work to do anything -- I don't really have a natural inclination for anything so it always takes a huge effort, and even when I do learn something, I'm envious of those who can do it better.
I am often the clay vessel asking God, "Why did you make me this way? (I want an upgrade!)"
And as with everything else, I'm trying to work on it.
