 If You Could Change One Thing About Yourself...
What would it be? It can be a physical trait or a personality trait.
I'd change my fear of commitment. Life can sometimes beat you into changing, and that's what happened with me, but it's the one thing I wish I could change back. Much easier said than done, because I definitely have trust issues that can't be solved overnight. If you can't put trust into a relationship, you can't commit to it fully enough to make it work for either party.

Do you mean mentally or physically? Do you mean realistically or fantastically?
Mentally: I wish I was smarter. I wish I had instant recall. I can be a real absent-minded guy.
Physically: I'd like to be taller and with a smaller nose.
Fantasically: I'd like to live forever and stop aging.

Physically: THE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE. Hehe. It's not really that bad. I don't think  But it's the one thing that always come to mind when I think of things I don't really like aobut myself.
Other: WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY would I wanna imperfect perfectio0n by changing anything? HUH?
Or...I wouldn't be as impusive about the things I say

You know?? There isn't 1 thing I would change about myself for anyone.. I am who I am and folks either accept it or shove off and I'm proud to say it.. =D>

:wink:
I wouldn't change anything about me simply to please someone else.
But it doesn't mean I can't accept that I'm not perfect, and even though I know that will always be the case I find nothing wrong with wanting to improve as a person.

When you've reached physical perfection you'd be a fool to change..

I like Mike V's breakdown so I'll do it too.
Mentally: I have the worst memory for details. This is a problem in history, since for the life of my every king is Edward, Richard, Arthur, Charles, etc. I can never keep them straight, not even get the general names right. I have the worst memory for details on the planet. So I'd like to change that.
Physically: My hearing is terrible. I don't know if its cultural or physical, but everyone tells me I'm deaf, and that I talk to loud. I also would like to get rid of my teenage skin, seeing as how I stopped being a teenager over 5 years ago.
Fantasically: Dream Job. Dream House. Dream wardrobe.

Physically... hard to say. I think I'm in damn good shape, so that I'd stay with. Everyone thinks I've worn braces before... I dunno, maybe bigger eyes, but it's a small thing, by and large I think I'm fine with how I am in that regard. Mentally... I have this habit of going sideways about things and not always getting to the point in conversations, but I definitely wish I could sometimes. Fantastically, as said stop aging and live forever, or at least as long as I wanted.

stealing from Mike
Mentally: I wish I was smarter, in real life I surround myself with brillant people, and I definitely the dumb one.
Physically: God, were to start...my forehead is to big, I have flat feet and I loathe them, I'm portioned funny...I'd be beter off answering what I wouldn't change
Fantasically: I'd through kosh into the wind and do exactly what I wanted and stop worrying about everyone else. (Which is a genric way of saying, I'm not telling :wink:)

I should add a few physical things I would like to change:
Good eyes; I've been wearing glasses since I was 10.
Good hearing: Too many rock bands have left me with a bit of a constant ringing in my ears
Good legs/hips: Ever since a car crash about 12 years ago, my hip has been out of line and it affects my posture, my walking, and my overall comfort.

Physically: Eyesight for sure, had to start wearing glassed at 7. Actually I got glasses at 7 but refused to wear them for a year except when I was doing homework or other important stuff. Which led to me almost being run over a couple times when walking home from school so I got lectured on the importance of wearing them. Contacts make it less of a hassle as an adult but still nothing beats eyes that work. I'd possibly also want to still be blond, my hair turned brown as I grew up. I'm content with most of the rest of me.
Mentally: I'd like to be less gaffe prone, I'd like to be less concerned that people will misunderstand me and just accept that some will. I'm the kind of person who sends an email/PM then sends another one explaining what I meant by the first one. Like right now I have to restrain myself from going into the Pope thread and edit my post to explain that by heathens I didn't mean any religious connotation, I meant unsophisticates. And I wish I was a faster reader.

I would try to be a more likable guy, I guess. I mean I try really hard, but I always sense people get annoyed, so I'm usually very quiet when I'm around people. It frustrates me if I annoy someone, because I never intentionally do it.

Physically: I would change my nose, which is a little too pointy, and probably me ears.
Mentally: I would want to be a more easy-going person. I hate how I always have to study for every test, do my best at everything. I've always been that way, and it gets annoying. Also, I don't like when other people don't like me. I know it shouldn't matter, but I've always been weird about that. I also hate doing anything wrong, even things that wouldn't bother someone else.
