There are two types of weaknesses: the kind that disqualify you and the kind that place you in the job that is right for you.
A weakness that disqualifies you might be: when I am under pressure I cannot function. I get angry and lash out at others.
A weakness that might place you in the right job might be: I am not a team player. I am an independent contributor. If you tell me what you need, I will get the job done. I do better working alone than working with many other people.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being an independent contributor. In many cases this is precisely what a job requires. If you get to know yourself well you can describe what you are ideally suited for.
Focus on the weaknesses that will place you in a job where you will be happy.
