Diazdiaz95 picked under-confident of herself:
I think her naivety and clumsiness are kind of endearing and they've never bothered me but then again none of these bother me that much. I don't think she trusts too easily because she did knock out Flynn twice upon their first meeting and she didn't start to actually trust him until later, she was trusting of Gothel but only because she was supposedly her mother. I think she is just innocent and in her case it's not as bad, Anna can be a little too reckless and doesn't think through her actions on the other hand. I have dealt with people who are no confident and it can sometimes be difficult to get them to understand that they need to believe in themselves, I also understand them because I sometimes lack confidence too.

None of these are very negative to me. I dislike her self-centeredness and hypocritical manipulation.

I pick none of these. I don't flaw someone for being humble or "under-confident of herself" when she is a child who has never been encouraged in her life. Actually, for a woman who constantly forced her to underestimate herself, she was pretty strong and confident so this actually doesn't even make sense to me. I agree she was definitely "naïve" but not by her own choice since Mother Gothel forced her to be this way. She was in a predicament worse than Cinderella because she had no social company whatsoever, no examples to learn human behavior from other than Mother Gothel yet she still came out like a saint. I don't agree that she "easily trusts anyone" because she didn't at all. She didn't easily trust Eugene nor the thugs in the bar so I don't even get where anyone sees this at all. She was very cautious and suspicious at first. While I think it can be annoying to be "clumsy when unsure", I wouldn't consider this necessarily a flaw. I guess I am being biased though because I am considering flaw to be something actually harmful to oneself not just "not perfect" since that's too subjective to me.

@laylastepford:
I don't specifically believe in all of these to be flaws either but i have tried to list out options for more people to relate with. As it happen some people have chosen "easily trusts anyone", but unfortunately no one from that choice has commented to explain better. I personally do not think she trusts easily either.
For being naive: like you mentioned, for a person who has been outside her protected zone for the first time in 18 years, she was way too open about placing her trust in Eugene. While she may have been able to handle herself in tower, coz she had an advantage of hitting him from behind, unaware and then tied up. She trusted him enough to go to a bar, which she could have avoided but somehow she placed her trusts in her instincts. I too, don't believe it to be a complete flaw as sometimes it is endearing to find an innocent person in this harsh, cruel world but sometimes it can be a lot more dangerous, like it was for Anna. Lucky for Rapunzel that Eugene has a change of heart, unlike Anna where Hans had almost destroyed everything coz she placed her trust too high too soon in a stranger. So yes, naivety works both ways for me too.

^Did she even know what a bar was? All she knew was that the world was a scary place, full of frightening characters and things that were always trying to "get you". She took her first chance ever on Eugene. Everyone has to make mistakes and mess up at some point in their life, it's part of growing up and maturing (but I don't believe that means to make colossal life-altering mistakes). She was just now getting the opportunity to learn about social interaction etc. She had no social experience whatsoever thanks to Mother Gothel. I'm not sure if you realize what that does to a person but naivety is the least of it. Frankly, she doesn't choose to be naïve so I don't fault her for being young and innocent. The naivety is a result of her abuse, she doesn't come off to be naïve naturally which is shown when she tells Mother Gothel "No" in the "Mother Knows Best Reprise". Now that she had finally explored beyond her small isolated tower and gained a small amount of experience and wisdom, she chose not to be naïve anymore. Ultimately, I don't find "innocence" as a flaw either, I find it to be a treasured rarity.

@laylastepford:
I used bar as a reference point: she wouldn't even know there can be a place for eating lunch outside. The worry is why did she agree to go to a place other than seeing lanterns with a person she barely trusted a moment ago. I do have an inkling of what isolation does to you. She did get into life-altering situation while she was stuck in a cave fast-filling with water where she could have died.
I dont fault her to be naive either. I don't find this trait as treasured as you may find it, like i mentioned in other polls, naivety works two ways for me. Till the very end, she couldn't believe anyone could be bad and that made her trust Eugene while she could have questioned Eugene why would anyone want to kill you. What horrible things have you done to make someone kill you, if she wasn't that naive. So i find this trait in her very dangerous for her. Though i understand how she came about it and don't fault her at all for being naive.

^I wasn't talking about isolation, I was talking about being raised with no social graces or comprehension. Like I said, I agree she should not have gone in the bar with him but I think the "Snuggly Duckling" name really threw her off and I think she wanted to believe that people were not all as bad as Mother Gothel had said. I think deep down she wanted to prove to herself that not everyone in the world is a villain and not everything she will come across will be negative and traumatic like she was told by Mother Gothel. In a way that was her "standing up to her abusive situation" by choosing not to believe in her (perceived) "mother's" lies and stories.

I never said I treasured "naivety" you are mistaken. I said I treasured "innocence". I said I don't fault her for being naïve, that is correct but I didn't say I treasure it at all. I simply said that she chose not to be naïve when she could therefore I don't consider her to be naïve. She was naïve when she was unexperienced but when she gained the slightest amount of wisdom, she chose not to be naïve anymore and stand up to Mother Gothel.

^yes, my mistake on quoting you wrong on "treasuring naivety". Like i also said, naivety works both ways for me. So i still see how she could have better avoided it despite being inexperienced. I think she handled herself way better in the tower with Eugene than outside. She did somewhat flow in wanting to prove herself to Mother Gothel and that everyone is not that bad. She could have definitely avoided being trapped in cave, by questioning rather than trusting Eugene.
But i agree, she did learn very quickly and was not to be faulted for same.

^ Considering the psychologic abuse that mother gothel did to her, I just can't fault her. She wanted to explore, she wanted to see for herself. I don't think that's naive, I think it's adventurous and brave. I agree she trusted eugene too much especially after he clearly lied to her about the bar but once they had to flee there, I don't blame her as much for trusting eugene in that moment since he had the experience being out there and she didn't. I don't think she should've assumed she'd know better than him when she had no experience and he had a lot. I do think she should've been more vigilant about his possible taking advantage of her. You are right in that she led her guard down with him too soon. I understand why she did it, I don't think she should've, but I also blame mother gothel for it more than rapunzel.
