If you could change one thing...

...about yourself, what would it be? Nothing physical.

I would change and not be so darn shy. I hate it. I get really nervous to talk to people, even just small talk. I'm just glad I'm out of school so teachers/professors can't tell me I'm talking too quietly anymore!  I try to take steps to get outside my comfort zone, but it's not pleasant and I really don't like attention drawn to me; I much rather prefer being a wallflower! lol

Just a random question because I'm bored and just had to go talk to my neighbors, that I'd never met until now.

(Just posted this on the wrong board, lol. Oops. Trying again!)

Easy... My anxiety! I am actually too anxious that I will get hooked on my Xanex if I take it too much that I don't take it when I need it. How is that for a catch 22?

I would change my insecurities and my self esteem.  It really gets in the way sometimes and I know the BF hates it.

I talk too much. I would change that so that BF wouldn't have to tune me out so often, and so that I wouldn't leave parties and have to think 'Did I even let anyone else get a word in edgewise?'

I hate my stress too. I get stressed WAY too quick. I know it hurts me. Worrying is not good for me!!! But then I worry about how bad worrying is, and it's a downward spiral...

Hmm..I would say my affection level. I'm not sure why but I have a hard time being emotional and touchy feely with my friends and family. (I am with BF though)..and sometimes people think it's because I don't care, which I do. I just don't like feeling vulnerable I guess?

I am a people pleser to a fault.  I would change that.  I hate being walked on but I just have it in me to please everyone.

Jaycee: I actually am dealing with that too. I don't understand why I can be super cuddly with BF, but have a hard time giving my brother a hug.

jdrose: That's my BF too. He's also trying to please others and ends up letting himself take least priority.

Polkadot: That spiraling effect would be hard. I do that with eating since I'm on a diet. I mess up so I feel bad and pig out, then I feel bad for pigging out, so I pig out again, lol.

It's an anxiety thing for me too. I worry about everything, it's bad. I am getting a bit better, as I become happier in life as a whole, but I'm still an anxious person. My Mom has some major anxiety issues, and I worry that I'll end up like that (which, clearly doesn't help anything). BF has been a fairly big help to me in dealing with this though. He is very frank with me and reminds me when I'm being ridiculous. I appreciate that more than he probably realizes. 

I also tend to be exceptionally snarky to some people in real life without even realizing it. It's just my nature, and my good friends know that, but unfortunately people I don't know well don't know that and it sometimes turns them off. It's a hard thing to work on though.

Ugh.  I have several.  If I could change just one, it would take me several days to decide which.

1.  (Possible TMI, but...) I wish I were more sexual.  Honestly, I could probably go the rest of my life without any sexytime and not feel deprived.  I do enjoy it when the timing is right, but it's not something I really prioritize.

2.  Social awkwardness.  I have tons.  Enough said, I think.

3.  I can procrastinate like a champ.  You don't know anyone who can avoid doing actual "stuff" like I can.  I hate being that way, but I've found it really hard to change.

4.  I'm a slob.  I manage to keep things in a semblance of order for the benefit of the two others I currently share my apartment with, but typically it's a disaster area.

I wish I wasn't so loud.

I'm so loud....

I wish I was more patient.  I have ZERO patience.  I also am rather intolerant of stupidity too.  I should get better about that.

I over analyze and over think things too much, especially with the BF.  It can be time consuming and make me upset for no reason.
