i'll go first - my terrible terrible full throttle cockney/ essex accent. I hate it and feel very self conscious of the way i sound.
i could have elocution lessons i suppose but it's probably too late for that!!

My annoying ability to overthink everything.

Whatabanana · 30/09/2023 10:11

Being so shy, a hard habit to change at 50!

DustyLee123 · 30/09/2023 10:13

Not being able to forgive or forget.

Giggorata · 30/09/2023 10:14

My morbid imagination

Borka · 30/09/2023 10:15

Being anxious

Not being able to forgive or forget.

This is mine too.

UsherBobble · 30/09/2023 10:15

Definitely more confidence.I envy those who have big personalities.

My morbid imagination

Oh yes. Me too

lljkk · 30/09/2023 10:17

I wish I didn't dwell on my own mistakes & feel so bad about them. This does me no good.

Its5656 · 30/09/2023 10:17

I'd love to have more willpower and less anxiety.

Highlyflavouredgravy · 30/09/2023 10:18

I would be good at maths

Or I would be someone who finds it easy to make friends,
Or I would organised and methodical so I could do administrative work with ease and keep a clean house
There is loads I'd change!

Not sure what I’d change, but strangely I don’t have the same accent as my siblings. They have a strong south London accent. I moved away at 18 but I didn’t have the accent as a child or teen either despite going to the same schools. My accent is more neutral so I think it is possible to change your accent.

Oldthyme · 30/09/2023 10:19

The way I always have to have a contingency plan just in case this happens or that happens and plan A doesn’t work.
I guess it’s anxiety and it’s exhausting.

AbbeyGailsParty · 30/09/2023 10:20

The chronic fatigue could go.

TiredMagnolia · 30/09/2023 10:21

My confidence in myself. I’m definitely an over thinker and don’t stand up for myself. It’s crippling sometimes.

Tarmaced · 30/09/2023 10:22

My height. I'd like to be 5' 9" instead of 5' 4". 🙂

MorrisZapp · 30/09/2023 10:22

Procrastination. It absolutely does for me. I'm otherwise brilliant.

You probably look taller, I know I do. Give yourself two free inches.

dontforgetme · 30/09/2023 10:24

Almost all of the above!!

Beamur · 30/09/2023 10:25

My eyesight. I'd love not having to wear glasses or contact lenses.

MichaelAndEagle · 30/09/2023 10:25

Laziness. Or lack of self motivation.

SallyWD · 30/09/2023 10:26

I think either my anxiety or my low self confidence

Getawaytoblazes · 30/09/2023 10:27

I have the tendency to be a bit lazy. I work full time and everything (well, term time only, but I have small dcs so summer is work too)! But on my days off I wish I was someone who would clean their whole house perfectly and then went for a long run and then out every night. I just work, look after kids, eat and sleep and wish I had more going on but I'm too lazy

I would like to be good at seeing things through when I start them.

Hobbies, to do lists, routines.

I’m a fantastic planner but not a completer.
