What don't you like about yourself?

[PRdude]

I saw this kind of discussion at some other forum, and I thought maybe I'd start a discussion like that here. I'll go first:

-My short term memory.

-My facial hair, that makes me look like some kind of animal when I have it.

-How I tend to care more for my friends than I do myself.

-My lack of trust in others. Especially females, which sucks, because I KNOW deep down inside that not all females are bad.

-I'm VERY defensive of my gender. So I don't take kindly to women making jokes about men, like how we're stupid and whatever.

-My limited sense of humor.

-How things I should have thought of at one time, just come to me at the last minute.

-My intolerance for children.

[ZorBrak]

I guess being 5'8 isn't the best thing in the world but it's just tall enough that every girl, aside from some models are my height, which I like being eye to eye...So maybe it's not so bad.

[Delthayre]

I'm shortish (5' 9" on a good day), fat (240lbs -hurrah), lack focus, am deceptively stupid, very awkward, and prone to forgetting the dumbest things. I'm also prone to occasionally detonating emotional bombs in my head that make me a jibbering mess for extended periods.

My terrible eyesight in my right eye isn't great either (my left eye is 20/20, my right gets uselessly fuzzy past a foot).
I also have a tendency to defend things no because I think they deserve defending, but only because they were attacked. There have been things I hated that I have felt compelled to defend because of a snarky or otherwise insufferable assault upon them.

I don't cry or get angry at anything anymore. Murders, death, loss, it all just sort of passes through. I'm hardly jubilant about them, but it doesn't really affect me.

[Phantasm]

One thing I've always had a problem with was my height.I'm 5 feet only.I know, I know VERY short.Nothing I can do about it.Learnt that the hard way.:sad:

I hate the fact that I tend to be VERY sensitive.I am very emotional, and burst into tears easily whether they be happy ones or sad ones.:rolleyes:

I am short tempered too. These days thankfully I've controlled it somewhat...

I am extremely lazy...I love sitting in front of the monitor screen, clicking away...

I'm a hard core feminist at heart and offend guys at times...

I very shy, I blush easily and hate public speaking!

I have the tendancy to get obsessed about things...

[Eddie G.]

It's hard for me to cry. I didn't cry at my Grandfather's funeral and I hated that.

Beyond that I'm pretty perfect.

[Emmanuel Cruz]

I hate that:

I'm short (5'6)
I'm Overweight (205)
I Trust Others Too Easily
I'm Stubborn
My Vision is Shot (I also have a busted right eye)
I'm Very Lazy

-Emmanuel:bosko:

[Youko Recca]

It's hard for me to cry. I didn't cry at my Grandfather's funeral and I hated that.

Ditto. That's another thing we have in common.

Next to that I hate the attitude, mannerisms, beliefs, etc. the other me has.

[True Noir]

Short-tempered - I get defensive really easily. If you talk about me in any bad way (unless funny joke) I'll always have a comeback to make you feel bad wheather it's phyically or mentally.

I'm very independent which can sometimes lead to some bad things, because I can be really defensive (look above). The funny thing is that when I hang out with someone I really enjoy being, for instance my bf, I'll open up and all my emotions will just poor out.

[Mr. Pedro]

Short answer: My inability to communicate.

Long answer: I don't fare too well with casual conversation. Speaking with one or two people is fine, any more and I tend to get drowned out by the others. I'm fearful of shouting (which is needed in some cases) to get attention, so I'm not terribly comfortable in those situations.

I also tend to get moody for no apparent reason at times; making it even more difficult to express my actual feelings.

[Elven Moon]

-I don't feel much emotion when someone in real life dies, yet I'd shed several tears for a favorite animation character! How twisted is that? Although so far nobody of very high significance, like my parents or a close friend, has passed.

-I have a huge nose.

-I'm short, yet I don't have the cuteness that short Japanese girls do! I'm as tall as them, why don't I have the slender legs and small noses like they do?! Stupid cacausion heritage.

-I'm very selfish and self-centered sometimes.

[Speedy Boris]

-I have become obsessed wtih buying DVDs as of late.
-I get more annoyed than I should when people post flamebait. i.e. I need to let things roll off my back a bit more.
-I'm more concerned with my own ventures than others, though it varies from day to day.
-I need to exercise more during the school year.
-I want to be a better Christian. I mean BESIDES going to church every Sunday.

Woot! Post 3,000!!!! Do the safety dance! (snap) OW! I hope that hip's replaceable.

[Tapout]

- My horrible fatness.
- My complete inability to communicate with a live human being. You think I'm incompetent here, try speaking to me in person.
- My retarded memory. I can still remember 3/4 of the Fatalities from Mortal Kombat II, but can I remember what I read in my accounting textbook half an hour ago? Of course not.
- I'm incredibly lazy.

[Czar Gato]

-I get frustrated very easily

-My horrible eyesight

-My stubbornness

-My depression

-My difficulty opening up to other people (incl. my mom)

-My pensiveness in regards to my future

Other than that, I like myself just fine.:P

[The Wolverine]

-Selective memory. (I remember when the great Ayrton Senna was killed, but I don't remember what I did yesterday.)

-Asperger syndrome. (It's most likely the cause of my selective memory, plus social problems. I prefer to be alone, and not talking.)

[Czar Gato]

-Asperger syndrome. (It's most likely the cause of my selective memory, plus social problems. I prefer to be alone, and not talking.)Damn, I forgot about that! I have it too, makes my social life hell sometimes.

[Mek]

Well, let's see...

* I'm *way* to sensetive. True, I've gotten past the stage where I'm crying over roadkill, but I cry at the drop of the hat at anything remotley sad.

* Too possesive. 'Nuff said

* I get jealous very easily.

* My inability to like my artwork most of the time.

* My incredibly shortfused temper.

* I'm a bit antisocial, but the youth group meetings I'm going to on Wednesdays is helping fix that. ^^;

* Paranoia!!! D:

[Evil & Lovin It]

- I hate almost all of my immediate family (Mom, Stepdad, sisters) but I feel that I shouldn't (they're probably good people... I guess)

- I procrastinate WAY too much (and I can't help it)

- Generally I'm the most easy going in my family, but when I get angry(which, luckily, doesn't happen easily), and I don't mean angry like "Shut up!", I mean angry like "I'll ****ing kill you!!!" *breaks/throws nearby object*, I have a hard time restraining myself. This is probably the thing I hate about me the most, because I fear that I might hurt someone I care about.

[Shnay]

I don't like the fact that the "stuff I don't like about myself" list would be too long to post here. :(

Gotta get posi...

[guinaevere]

*My size. I gained a billion pounds during my (bad) marriage and subsequent divorce. But don't misunderstand me, I blame myself. I ate and ate and ate, and had a great job sitting around doing nothing... Am now dieting as some of you are tired are hearing about.
*My skin. ick.
*I am very forgetful.
*I am too cynical.
*I laugh too much.
*I am a horrible procrastinator. Seriously, I put everything off until after the last minute. :shrug:
*I am lazy.
*To this day, I rebel against my Mother, only because she's my Mum. which goes along with
*I am a tad irrational at times.
*I complain too much.
*There are many times when I should say something, but chicken out. So, conviction without guts... :sweat:

[Cyber E.]

My raw sexual magnetism.

Ugh! I hate that about myself too. I also do that. I need to take a break from the internet seriously.

[Phantasm]

I also tend to vent off my frustrations on my Mom!!I hate doing that!!:sad:

Hey, I cried after a chat with one of my friends where she came out to me that she's a lesbian. Now here's the strange part. She and I pretty much live on opposite sides of the country, and even if we did live close enough, there are reasons why she and I shouldn't be together, even if she was straight or at least bisexual. Yet somewhere down the line, I began to grow extremely fond of her. But I guess you can't help who you love, right?

[EJill34]

I have trouble laughing and people who laugh a lot tend to anger me.

[Emmanuel Cruz]

I have more faults:

I am also a HUGE procrastinator. I'm the guy who haves a major project anbd does it the night before it's due, but still do it great enough to get a A.

I judge others quickly.

I try to be a perfectionist, and when I screw up, I get mad quickly (Like how I was in Marching Band tonight.)

-Emmanuel:bosko:

[cross blues]

- I can never make important decisions because I am so scared of making the wrong choice or making a mistake.
- I am either depressed or really lazy, or maybe both. Neither is something I like to think about.
- I have trouble letting go of the past and moving on with my life. (especially a certain girl)
- I'm very shy. I can/could never initiate a conversation with an attractive female. Unless she approaches me and is very persistent, it's hopeless.
- I am so cynical that I've become completely antisocial and actually believe that friendships are a waste of time, something people only have so they're not lonely.
- I can't save money. I always spend everything I make...
- I'm more superficial than anyone else I know (the word people use to describe it is shallow) but I can't help it...
- I don't enjoy life nearly as much as I used to. I'm not sure if I enjoy life at all right now.

[BLACKHEART]

I love the fact that I can take a licking and keep on ticking baby!!! :p

I like my inner strength. I used to be like this person who was consumed by demons and I used those as a crutch from preventing me in living my life. I have sense been able to defeat my demons and move on with my life. Basically I have pride in myself. :)

[guinaevere]

people who laugh a lot tend to anger me.On principle, or because you don't like the sound? I'm just curious here, Mahler. I know you're a very stolid personality. Just tell me to clam up and mind my own business if you wish. (I was about to use a smilie here, but took deleted it. Just for you.)

Procrastination is like masturbation, you're only screwing yourself.

Holy Mackerel!:p That's VERY risque, but hilarious!!:p

-Emmanuel:bosko:

[EJill34]

On principle, or because you don't like the sound? I'm just curious here, Mahler. I know you're a very stolid personality. Just tell me to clam up and mind my own business if you wish.Nah, it's not a problem. Well, it pretty much started in middle school, if I'm remembering correctly, but it was awhile ago. People found many of my comments funny (even when I didn't find them funny myself) and I just began to despise the sound of constant laughter (maybe it's why I don't like sitcoms). I had always been rather impassive and the fact that people could laugh so hard at things I didn't find funny made me kind of angry. I mean, I tend to be pessimistic about most things, and people laughing and smiling all the time made me cringe. Now that I think about, I was a pretty angry kid, but there was a point where I tried to be more positive. It's not like I was ever MEAN or anything, I just had a tendency to say things like "I hate (insert name here)" or "I hate (insert name of pop culture icon here)" which only feuled my anger.

So, basically, I think it's more the principle which directly effects my distaste for the sound. But it's not like I really have anything against people laughing constantly. Some of my best friends laugh all the time, and I try to laugh along with them, even if it makes me want to throw up my midnight snack.

(I was about to use a smilie here, but took deleted it. Just for you.)I'm honored.

(That wasn't sarcasm, by the way)

[purplehairedwonder]

- Like a lot of other people, I'm a huge procrastinator. I try to stop, but I keep doing it.
Procrastination is like masturbation, you're only screwing yourself.ROFL!!! That was awesome!:D I'm going to remember that!

- My obsession with eating. I love food, and that's why I'm fat. That and the fact that I can't keep up with counting my Weight Watcher Points on a daily basis for more than two weeks without a huge binge for like 3 days straight, then I gain a gazillion pounds and I'm back to where I started. I've been trying for over 3 years and I'm still way far from my goal weight.

- All the time I spend on the computer. Getting online is my favorite form of entertainment. That and I can talk to my best friends who are across the country online... cause I'm...

-Phone shy. I'm totally afraid to call people, even people I know. It's really hard to get over as well, though I really need to.

- I'm a social hermit. I prefer to spend my time at home by myself (either in my room or watching TV on online, how terrible).

- I always have to have the last word. I'm always teasing my friends (though they know I'm just teasing and get a kick out of my mean comebacks, cause I don't mean it), though I'm afraid one day I might go too far and really hurt their feelings.

- I'm a huge worry wart.

- I'm afraid to speak up in class a lot, and I don't take criticism (like from teachers on a paper I wrote) well. I hate that, even when I know they're right.

- I've become pretty self-centered.

- I'm always complaining about moving/living in Montana and how I wish I were still in Georgia. It can get pretty annoying, I'm sure.

[Pyro]

I hate that I can't stay mad for long periods of time. Even with good reason. Curse my wretched optimism!

I hate the fact that I don't really have any good memories, and really only recall embarrassing or stupid moments. I'm so awkward all the time.

I hate the way things never seem to work out for me. I think I should make note of when things do work out so that I'll know it's not never. And I hate time because it owes me 6 more hours in a day. Why not make it a solid 30?

[SilverKnight]

Nearly everything.

Just depends on when you catch me, that's all.

[HumanoidTyphoon]

I don't think you can laugh too much I think people don't laugh enough.

Blackheart I think you misread the thread title.

What I don't like is:
It's not terribly bad but I have OCD and ADD so mainly the way my mind works.
I over think(it took me forever to submit this)
I can remember the most pointless/stupid things(I have hundreds of song lyrics stored in my brain) I can remember important things but I forget all kinds of mathematical related things and such.
I'm not sure how to say this but I would rather the people around me be comfortable at my expense.
I've become too sensitive to death in life. Deaths of random side characters will make me sad.
I invented awkwardness.:sad:

[Phantasm]

My obsession with things I can't neccesarily have...Batman for one...:p

[Speedy Boris]

Procrastination is like masturbation, you're only screwing yourself. Heard that one. Though I've heard a slight variation- "Procrastination is like masturbation- it may feel good at first, but in the end, you're really just screwing yourself." :D I have trouble laughing and people who laugh a lot tend to anger me. I hear ya, that can be annoying. Heck, I could basically dart an eye in mock nervousness and it could make a girl laugh. Ah, the power! :evil:

.Same here. I was on Weight Watchers as well. I was a size 40 in pants and 205 lbs. at the end of 9th grade. Over that summer, I lost 20 pounds, but over my sophomore year, I got off the diet and re-gained the 20 pounds. I'm 205 again but I'm not a 40, but 36-38. But I'm still fat!! I gotta get back on WW. It works, but I need to be more disciplined with dieting.

Hmmm, don't know whether to laugh or give you a warning.....

I'll settle for closing this thread for "Unsalvageableness" and "Don't go there"
