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!!

I hold a grudge! For years! I don’t like to, but can’t help it!

xogossipgirlxo · 30/09/2023 10:59

I would like to be more outgoing person, keeping up my social life comes with a lot of effort to me.

CarPour · 30/09/2023 10:59

I would be less lazy/less of a procrastinator

Or I would be able to chat to people easily

The sound of my voice.

PennyFarting1 · 30/09/2023 11:03

I wish I was better at maths

Health anxiety. Learned from my mother - as it now obvious to me - although never an issue until a couple of events in my 20s with wrong diagnosis (for me, less serious, but also a family member who ended up dying v young due to medical failure to spot cancer until too late). That triggered it and now I'm a parent it's so hard despite therapy. Every toddler fever takes three days of my life in a horrible spiral.
I can rationalise it, I know it's just my mind, but it's exhausting. I hate it. I wish I could be free of it.

I'd like more energy.

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

Same !

FoghornUnicorn · 30/09/2023 11:10

Anxiety! My crippling anxiety developed around my late teens so I can remember what it was like not feeling this way and it makes me so sad and angry I can’t seem to get back there.

Andrepeat26 · 30/09/2023 11:10

Wouldn't be such a mug

RenoDakota · 30/09/2023 11:11

Procrastination. I could have a richer and more fulfilled life without it.

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

Thanks, I will! 😁

Bonjovispjs · 30/09/2023 13:55

My irritability 😕

AsanteSana · 30/09/2023 13:58

I would ditch the autism which has blighted my entire life - education, employment, friendships, relationships, my crippling fear of social situations, the way I behave, act, perceive things, view myself as being 'odd' and not someone people wish to get to know.

Oh for a magic wand!

notprincehamlet · 30/09/2023 14:08

My fondness for self-sabotage and ghosting opportunities I've worked hard to create - I'm the master of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
Also I'd love to have a fabulous singing voice and be an awesome endurance athlete

MWNA · 30/09/2023 14:15

I'd get rid of my autism.

MrsKarlUrban · 30/09/2023 14:20

My chronic back and neck pain. Op my most favourite accent is the cockney one 😀

barbarahunter · 30/09/2023 14:23

I wish I'd had nicer parents. I don't mean perfect, I just mean kinder.

RampantIvy · 30/09/2023 14:24

My eyesight. This is definitely not looks related, but I hate having terrible eyesight.

bluedomino · 30/09/2023 14:27

My health. I would be independent and free.

Unicorn34 · 30/09/2023 14:27

Being 'a cryer' - I get angry, upset, happy, you name it - I cry. And I go pink too so not a beautiful cryer 😪

OnAir · 30/09/2023 14:28

Adhd. It's fun but hard work being so erratic.

theduchessofspork · 30/09/2023 14:29

Lack of focus, procrastination, impulse control..

Boohooz · 30/09/2023 14:32

I’d be able to assert myself on the spot Instead of realising 12 hours later that someone was taking the piss

clpsmum · 30/09/2023 14:33

My anxiety
