** Adrien's is his innocence. While he has come recognize that his inaction has allowed Lila to become a much bigger problem his efforts to solve the issue are continually roadblocked by his reluctance to use what he deems underhanded or sketchy tactics. The thing is these types of tactics are a necessity because his cleaner methods get countered by Lila, who decides to start escalating her actions because of his defiance. This in turn makes his goals much harder to achieve. Not helping is that Adrien worries too much about the fallout of exposing Lila, unable or possibly unwilling to admit that things are going to go badly no matter how delicately it's handled solely because of the nature of Lila's deceptions.
** Marinette's is her ChronicHeroSyndrome. No matter how bad someone has been to her she can't help wanting to reach out to them when they're in trouble. This adds to her problems because she continually feels overwhelmed with being ''expected'' to be the one to solve everythin. And no matter how many [[SelfCareEpiphany Self Care Epiphanies]] she has about leaving things be so she won't be overwhelmed in the first place she finds herself in the position of being the only one who can chart a healthy way forward for everyone.
** Alya's is [[TheDitherer reluctance]]. She avoids giving critical thought to situations in favor of accepting narratives at face value that fit her wishes. She's also extremely hesitant to actually follow up on things when doubts are brought up about what she believes, doing the absolute bare minimum to check that she's actually right. When Adrien approaches her to look into Lila for herself Alya takes an immense amount of time to consider that he may be telling the truth and doesn't even bother to look further when she starts seeing small signs that he's actually right. By contrast she accepts Lila's open slander of Marinette, Adrien and Ladybug with no complaint whatsoever because it suits her better that they are holding an irrational grudge instead of going looking for answers that could prove her wrong. Essentially Alya resists thinking too heavily on things because she would rather be right than be truthful.

Then he attempts the same with Chloe... of course, the latter's standards do not include gold diggers, and most definitely don't include her arch-frenemy's scraps.
