One thing you wish you could change about yourself

[blandana]

Physical or mental change.

I wish I could be more direct, I tend to avoid saying what I really think. I’m working on it.

You?

I wish I was more beautiful it affects how people treat you significantly more than the naturally beautiful people realize.

Anxiety.

I wish I could just get rid of the ten ton weight that permanently lives on my back.

Less procrastination.

I'm good at most things but getting round to doing them takes super human effort. Even worse I'm kind of frozen by how much I have to do!

I wish I didn’t blush. I had long blonde hair and lost it all thanks to chemo last year. Now my hair is short, dark and curly and I hate it. Every time I meet someone I know in town or wherever the first thing they remark on is my hair and I go so red.

So many things…..

My MH, I've been medicated for anxiety, OCD and clinical depression since I was 11, I'm 40 now I'd like a rest from myself please.

I wish I could just get in my car and drive and go places rather than be an anxious wreck

if I could have two, I’d also like to be happier in my skin and not so obsessed with food/ diets/ weight.

Gad diagnosed five years ago.
The anxiety and chronic overthinking about something for day's on end and once I've solved that one in my head another take's it's place.

If people know you and what you've been through pointing out your hair is highly insensitive.

I would love to be naturally upbeat/positive. My default setting is to look for the negative and it affects me daily.

My skin. It’s red, blotchy, oily with massive big pores. I need to wear foundation to cover it but im too old for heavy foundation as it just sits in my wrinkles and makes everything look worse but I wear it anyway as it’s been than the alternative.

Im constantly checking the state of my face when im at work worrying that other people will be thinking look at her crap make up. I’ve spent a small fortune on so many different foundations.

It makes me sad I just want nice skin like everyone else seems to have

I wish I could be more sociable. I don't really do people but do admire those who seem to bring out the best in others and form social connections.

Everything really. I Hate my Ugly face, I'm overweight and Hate myself but I love Chocolate and Cake unfortunately. I have Anxiety and it can make me shake, and I have eczema flare ups that can be severe that I've even stayed in Hospital because of them.

So sorry @Dreamer2027to hear you feel that way. I hope there are some things - however small - that you also like about yourself

That I had more self esteem when I was much younger. It would have prevented me from screwing my life up for a very long time. I’d have made much better decisions that would’ve changed the course of my life. All too late now.

alwaysstressed, I’d like nice skin too.
I have KP & I’d love smooth, silky skin.

I’d like to be a few inches taller.

is like to be more intellectual.

I wish that the things I’ve come to love, I’d found earlier in life.

Wish I could keep to a healthy weight and not let emotions dictate my eating

I wish I didn’t care what anyone thought about me. I so admire people who are like this. They just live their best life. I’m always bothered by worrying.

I wish I had 100% self-control.

Me too. I’m living a 20s lifestyle in my 30s, which is great, but I wish it could have been like this in my 20s/late teens too. Instead I had cripplingly low confidence and self-esteem which really held me back.

My skin. I would sell my soul to the devil for clear skin. I’m now 57, have had spots since around 11 and nothing, nothing, has had any effect on it.

You are beautiful you just dont see it.
Tell youself this every day when looking in the mirror SOMEONES FAB TODAY.
Sick with it and all so personality rides over any look.
Even if you feel crap fake it in no time you will stand out.
Some beautiful people have ugly hearts.
You gonna shine in no time.

Ok i was once you.
I now turn negatives into positives.
It can be done i told my self i dont want to end up a miserable old cow finding fault in everything.
I took time.
Like my skin i hated it with pink pigments i told my self youknow what your alive and you need to love that skin.
I dont notice it now and wear strap tops all the time no one cares.
Same as i cant deal with this gender crap its this its that till i told my self to shut up.
If someone wants me to call them a fox ill do if it makes that person happy then why not.
I hated my size now i tell myself you got legs some dont im big and fluffy more to love.
Just a few steps a day on working on you helps you in the long run.

So wright on a small piece of paper im no longer going to live like a negative person fold it up small and throw it as far as you can out the window restart starts today.
You got this.
