If you could change things about yourself?

ERR! · 22-08-2010 10:26pm

hmm what would I change?

looks wise- a lot I would change my body shape my legs,my bum

Personality wise I would change my temper and how stubborn I am... I hate the fact I'm really stubborn it annoys me

Busi_Girl08 · 22-08-2010 10:46pm

Physically:
My legs (big massive trunks)
My cheeks (fat and babyish)
My chin(s) (I want at least 1 less of them

)
My boobs (Smaller, and more equal in size)
My feet (dry, cracked mess. And don't get me started on my toenails

)
My stomach
My fat arse
My weird, pointy elbows.
My piggy nose.

Mentally:
My self confidence
My social ability
My occasional feelings of complete hopelessness.

Snoopy1 · 23-08-2010 12:15am

I would change everything about myself :mad:

ordinary_girl · 23-08-2010 12:41am

I'd change a few things. I wish I was a size 6 or 8, was taller, had nicer eyebrows (they've been irritating me lately, I shape them but I'm just really unhappy with them!), had brown eyes, had a thin face, had nice feet (again, I just don't like them!) and had my hair naturally blond.

Asphyxia · 23-08-2010 1:40am

Yeah there is a couple of things i'd like to chang about myself...

- Have nice clear skin.
- Have a bit more colour because I am too pale!
- Have a flatter stomach and be more toned.

Malari · 23-08-2010 10:58am

Not really. I like my face and body. I used to think I'd like 20-20 vision, but could never bring myself to have eye laser surgery! Then my boyfriend bought me glasses for my birthday one year. They were really heavy brown, funky frames, and I'm blond, pale and they were never frames I would have chosen, but they suit me.

So I'm pretty ok with my bad eyesight now!

I guess it would be nice to have a little melanin in my skin so I could tan...just a teeny bit! But fake tan will have to suffice!!

As for personality - not a thing! If I changed anything about me I wouldn't be me any more. I've spent 32 years becoming the person I am now and I ain't perfect but I'm happy.

elleburp · 23-08-2010 4:21pm

I would be less awkward around people I like and want to know better

rebel girl 15 · 24-08-2010 1:20am

physically, I'd want to get good vision, don't like wearing glasses and not being able to see, get taller and change my teeth.

I'd like to change the fact that I end up doing things at the last minute, but there is a buzz to getting something finished quite close to a deadline - this year is gonna be different. I love to get involved in things, and I probably spread myself too thin, so I need to learn how to say no, which I've been trying for the last three years, but to no result yet! I'd have confidence in myself, I never feel like I've done a good enough job. I'd take some of my own advice regarding life. I'd get rid of the dark dark thoughts that I can have and my feelings of utter despair at times about things that I shouldn't care that much about. I'd open myself up to people more, and instead of leaving things bottle up, which happens way too often, I'd talk things through

there's prob a few other things that I'll be adding to the list, just can't think at the moment

candy-gal1 · 24-08-2010 12:36pm

I personally love myself exactly as I am tbh

caseyann · 25-08-2010 5:01pm

Nearly 96% of the things people want to change about themselves are changeable,and if cant live with it why not do it?
Ofc getting bigger boobs and changing your personality is going to take time or smaller boobs is money,but everything any one has said here is changeable.
Teeth for instance may take time to get done but easily done.

Saying you'd like bigger boobs is not the same as saying you'd like breast enlargement surgery.

You know what comes with bigger boobs without breast surgery,yep you said it big butt and thighs

:D

Posy · 25-08-2010 11:10pm

I'd change:
My boobs (I would quite like some)
My silvery ass/thigh stretchmarks (make them be gone!)
My bottom (less celllulite, more 'toned')
My legs (longer and super-modelly)
My skin (I'd like olive skin- less spots please!)
My belly (I want it to be FLATTER)

(But for now, I can't be bothered having any surgery/doing exercise/going on a diet, so I'll have to put up with my faults! They make me ME!)

ArerA · 25-08-2010 11:43pm

I'm working on losing weight. Slowly but surely, haha.

I wish I could be more assertive, and less negetive.

Panthro · 26-08-2010 8:07pm

thing I noticed about my personality last night at a mates house that I wish I could change about myself..
I still can't hold down a conversation with a mates parents, and I'm 26!
Theres many other things I would love to change, but thats the newest addition to the club!

Daisies · 27-08-2010 1:58am

First and foremost I would like to change how critical I am about myself (kinda ironic huh?). I am my own worst enemy.

Now to the other stuff:
I'd love to be more toned all over. I'd love to have a higher level of fitness.
If my skin was clearer I wouldn't complain either.

I'd like if I could put myself out there a little more. I have a habit of clamming up when around a guy I like and I wish I didn't.
I'd like the ability not to trust people too much. I have learned from experience that some people take advantage of this trust and I end up getting trampled on.

All in all I think that these "imperfections" make me who I am. The things I have battled through in life have made me a stronger person and if I can grow to accept these "imperfections" I will be a happier person all round.

JennyAnt · 27-08-2010 11:25am

Would love to be taller! Just a few inches please?!?
Like most women, I would love smaller thighs. I have a small waist and larger hips (which I used to hate when I was younger, but actually quite like it now!) However I think it would look better with smaller thighs....
Also my laugh - My OH says its like Boycie from Only Fools and Horses! ONe time a comedian even commented on it at the laughter lounge!!

And I think I have a tendency to be a bit of a people pleaser, even if it means going out of my way or taking too much on....need to learn how to say no!

27-08-2010 1:32pm

Oh, I'd change my shoulders. They're annoying me today.
I know I'm proportional and tall and whathaveyou, but couldn't I please have narrower shoulders!!

Don t be so hard on yourself I bet you have loads of friends and have a good laugh with them I envy you that, it hard to put yourself out there and it is not easy to find some nice blokes but you never know your luck will change it always does for nice people like you good luck now that you will need it. It is always a good idea being cautious until you get to know who you can and can t trust but you will find someone.

Pebbles! · 23-09-2010 9:59pm

I would love to change my breasts..or lack of!!! i'm very flat chested and would love to change that about myself and hopefully in the future I will. It's something that annoys me alot.

I would also like to change how insecure I can be in a relationship, I was messed around a lot before and it did affect me but I am getting better and in a great relationship..some things take time!!

Nasty_Girl · 23-09-2010 10:31pm

I'd like to teach myself to shut my big mouth.

Not everyone thinks I'm funny.

I think I'm hilarious and have no sense of boundaries.

I wish I had a flatter tummy and smaller bum and could laugh more, pse think twice about getting bigger breasts, the only time my breasts were bigger was when I had my kids. I am sorry that you were messed around a lot but you know the old saying you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you can find your prince, and you deserve the best so have fun in the meantime.

I go from one extreme to the other.
I was very quiet for too long so now I just keep yacking.

Yesterday I used the phrase "No way , you're fvcking ****ting me!!!" to my new boss.

I mean come on!! I need a good smack.

Why bosses need to put back into their place now and then and know how to appreciate how good a worker they have and laughter is part of this I m the same with the yacking as you put it I would now get through a day unless I had a good laugh and talk, and then if I need a hand with something (I did not need this very often) I would help if required and hoped it would be there if required with a good yak in between.

I didn't actually think so later on.I was like wtf did you post that for. I'm always doing things like that and it bugs me.I don't even really like people but I care for them.When reading a thread like this or reading a thread about somebody asking for help in some way then I have to contribute if I think I have anything to share, however small, I just have to share. Its like a consciounce thing even though the help/advice I would offer most times would probably be out by a barn door.
Like NastyGirl my boundaries are also poor.I work on them a lot but I just blurt whatever comes out mostly and then later am like wtf.

Anyway, I'm still ok. Personally I think the world is wrong and I'm right. I just don't fit in here. Have to be from somerwhere else.
Anyway, heres some more clips that I found inspiring and thank you for liking that clip as I had to go rummagging for more and then strarted watching them and that has in turn inspired me and moved me out of a funk.

I sometimes blurt out things in anger and immediately want to apologise and take it back, its hard to find you place in the world but eventually we all will as long as we can get off our minds what is hurting or making us angry and hopefully people will listen to each other and find out that we have more things in common then we originally thought and if I need help I hope people do not mind me asking for it and I will always try to read and if I can help I will always reply back tku

I was always told you have to like yourself first and other people will like. you are right in being slow to trust people you have learn to hold back until u see who you can trust. There are a few people out there good luck

I'm only seeing this now, but I don't think I'm perfect. I am very, very far from perfect. there's a lot that I don't like about myself, and I'm trying very hard to change that

If you could change things about yourself?
