If you could change one thing about yourself...

Yes, these kind of questions are what every elementary school survey asks, but still, what would you change? I'd give myself a different personality, preferable one that's not suffering from an obsessive compulsive disorder overkill, as well as making myself less whiny and annoying and also make myself stop being so obsessed with concentrating on stupid things I've done. Yes that is allo one thing, because it all fits into personality.

1. I'd make myself procrastinate a whole lot less, and focus more on the task at hand than on things unrelated to my work.

There's more, but I'll get to them later. There's a commotion out the window I'd rather pay attention to....

...nah, I kid. I also want to make myself more dedicated to my workout regiment so that I can look nice and slim for my wedding. No offense to anyone out there that's overweight - heck, I am, too - but I really don't like how I look in suits, and if it's something that I can control - which I can - then I want to do that.

I wish I had the ability to concentrate on things for more than 30 seconds.

Ooh, shiny!

This is gonna come across as horribly vain and shallow, but I pretty much like myself personality-wise. As horribly bitchy, vain, shallow, and cruel as I am, I enjoy my personality. If I could change anything about myself, it would be either my wrists or my acne. I've had acne forever, and nothing helps to get rid of it. And as for my wrists, they're too small. Everything on my body is big (wink wink ~_^) except for my wrists. They look unnaturally skinny.

normally the first thing I say is my weight. Yes, I would definately change that, but you know some days I just look in the mirror and can't help but see that I'm cute no matter what size I am. (I'm trying to accept myself more, it's part of the exorise)

aside from that:

I want to be less shy and more social. It's frustrating not being comfortable with new people.

Other than that, I like me fairly well.

EDIT: I really need to read the title better before posting. I end up babbling too much on this subject otherwise.

Actually, I admire that. Despite your faults, you still manage to love yourself. That's self-confidence I wish I had.

And there's mine. I wish I had higher self-esteem, and believed in myself a bit more. Sometimes I don't believe I can accomplish something, or don't find myself to be "good enough." I'm very insecure, though I come off as the strongest person in the world to some people. Inside, I'm crying..a lot.

I wish I wasn't shy when I don't know the people around me well. I don't mean complete strangers, but like other friends of my friends sometimes. Some people think I don't like them at first because of it. I'm not as shy as I used to be, and I like being around people. But I still have trouble showing people "myself" when I don't know them all that well.

I also wish I wasn't shy about asking guys out myself. I finally realized last semester that it's the only way I'm ever going to get into a relationship again, since all these guys who ask me out don't interest me. So the shyness in certain situations is the one thing I want to change the most. And I'm working on it.

As for appearance not trying to sound vain but there isn't much I'd want to change. Just maybe two things.

This is, indeed, one of those elementary questions, but the answer, I think, is usually really complex. Like, I'm okay with who I am. I'm not perfect, but I can accept that. Which means I don't really want to change anything. If people can't accept the way I am, then screw them. On the otherhand, tho, if I *could* change one thing, it'd be my weight. I'm overweight (really, I am.) It sounds shallow, and I don't really want to do it for looks (tho that would be a bonus), but that would most likely be it. I'm not influenced by the media. I don't want to be skinny and "fabulous," I kinda just want to get down to my specified body weight. For me. You know?

I always get anxious about meeting other people, but I don't know why. I'm articulate, caring, and I have a diverse personality. I don't have a problem talking to people once I've started talking… I just get worried about having to talk in the first place. The fact that it bothers me, bothers me. It's not like I drool when I speak, or anything! >.<*

Other than that, I'm pretty damn happy with my personality. And if someone has a problem with me, they can kiss my… I'm not confrontational, at all… >.>;

I'm with the people who don't want to change their personalities. I think it's a grass-is-greener thing; I might say, "I wish I were more outgoing and gregarious," but if I were, I might then be saying, "I wish I had more time for myself." So the only changes I would want to make would be straight improvements. I want to accumulate more knowledge and experience. LadyFlameSniper mentioned trouble asking for dates; that too is a skill I need to learn. I want to get into better physical condition. But these are all part of the outer coating, the inner core that is my personality is inviolate.

Heck, you guys are going way too simple.

If i could change anything about me, I'd have brad pitt's body, Orlando Bloom's face, and Ryan Phillipe's eyes. On top of that, I'd be hella smart like.......uhh.......Albert Einstein, but I'd be a funny bastard too, kind of a mix between Chris Farley and David Spade with a little bit of Pheobe from friends. I'd also have the creativity of Quentin Tarrentino mixed in with Peter Jackson...........and heck, I'd be married to a cross between Natalie Portman, Michelle Branch, and Lindsay Lohan.

You all think to small.

Oh wait, you said change ONE thing. Pshaw. F that man.

Personality-wise, I'd like to change myself so I think about what I'm going to say before I say it. I have a nasty habit of putting my foot into my mouth, especially when debating something, so I would like to be better at thinking about what I'm going to say and if it's going to offend somebody or if it's going to come out in the right way. As for appearances, there really isn't much I'd want to change expect I wish my face wouldn't break out everytime my hair gets long. It always does the moment any hair touches my face, so I have to shave the abosulete moment I start to get a moustache or whatever and I have to keep my hair very short. Although I like keeping my hair short because it makes it easier to take care of, I hate having to shave all the time because I'm lazy. ^^;; I wish I could go at least two weeks without having to shave before my face breaks out. ><

MonkeyDLuffy · Post by **MonkeyDLuffy** » Sat May 22, 2004 1:31 pm

I would have to change my nose. It just doesn't seem right in any view other than perfect front view. Any other angle, and it looks horrible. The end just needs something done to it. I want to "pick a nose" with a plastic surgeon or whatever you see for it.

Other than that, I love my personality even if otheres don't, and I like the rest of my body.

To Do:

I really have to change my attitude. Over the past couple of months, I've been acting like an egomaniac, but after nearly getting chewed out by my bosses, I have pledged that I will change my ways.

Already acclomplished:

My political stance-- After I finished reading Al Franken's book "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them", I have learned about the REAL President Bush, and it looks like I'm gonna jump on the Kerry bandwagon.

Change one thing ? Does hair count as one XD ?

And when I mean hair I mean... err... not head hair but... the rest of it... either not or at least... less of it

You get my point, girls

Lady of the Light · Post by **Lady of the Light** » Sat May 22, 2004 9:21 pm

I would make myself more comfortable with my body, so I wouldn't feel so self concious in going out with a t-shirt on...Either that, or I would get these braces that I had just put on removed. My lips can't take the pain anymore....

RoastedTwinkies · Post by **RoastedTwinkies** » Sat May 22, 2004 10:07 pm

If I could change one thing about myself, I wouldn't be as shy and I would have higher self esteem and self confidence. I wouldn't freak out so much about social situations. I'm afraid of that because I'm afraid that I'd do something stupid like klutz out and trip to make a fool of myself. I hate being embarassed, so I stay home most of the time.

I would also be more comfortable with my body. I have this nasty rash called excema (sp?) all over me from the waist down. I refuse to wear shorts (even in the summer!) because I don't want people to see my rash and comment about it. I wish I could wear shorts and not care about what other people think.

FoxFire · Post by **FoxFire** » Sun May 23, 2004 12:21 am

My personality itself I like and wouldn't change a bit of. My problem is that I have trouble relating to people and tend to avoid most social situations. I would change that part of myself, so that more people could get not know my true personality and not see me as the shy quiet person that they probably think of me as.

I wish I didn't have such a short fuse when it comes down to people like SOS and/or Peta. Also, I'd like to change my typing style.
