Change Me If You Can

Bop · 22nd January 2002, 20:04

What is the one thing about your personality that you wish you could change?
Or are currently working on bettering or lessoning?

BeerBaron · 22nd January 2002, 20:06

i seriously wish i could quit smoking

golferboy32531 · 22nd January 2002, 20:14

I wish I could get along with my dad more often.

And I wish I could change chords quicker on my guitar.

Bilbo Baggins · 22nd January 2002, 21:14

I do not want to be changed. I am the way that I am, and i do not think i can be changed. I have tried often enough, but i never do, so people shoudl take me as they find me.

IronMan · 22nd January 2002, 21:21

I wish I could focus more in school, instead of sitting here on my ass all day.

fwgx · 22nd January 2002, 21:27

I'd like to be more motivated to work, better at talking to new people (esp girls), perhaps less insular but that makes me me so maybe i wouldn't like to change that. I wish I could noodle on the guitar and have at leasst some hand-eye coordination.

Some of those were more physical but anyways.

papadoc · 22nd January 2002, 21:29

If I could wish for a change in me,
I'd wish for all my addictions to go away.
That's it.
But since I know that's like asking diabetes to cease
from a diabetics body, I've learned to live with them.

Other than that, I too, like Bilbo, like me just the way I am.

I'm reminded of an old song by an old acoustic group
from the 60's called Batdorff and Rodney:
"Take me as I am or let me go,
I am not afraid"

rm' · 22nd January 2002, 21:43

I wish my motivation level matched my ambition. That'd really take me places.

n_ick2000 · 22nd January 2002, 21:47

I wish I could stop being so shy. I don't have that many friends because I don't talk to people a lot.

KelseyB · 22nd January 2002, 21:48

Apparently i need to quit obsessing. its gonna be hard, though. i like girls WAAAY too much. (loooong story, and i didnt really OBSESS, just scared her off)

Jon Deaux · 22nd January 2002, 21:50

I wouldn't be such a flirt.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a dirty old man, it's just that, well, sometimes ladies (young and old)eyes sparkle when they talk to me or something.
I don't really know what triggers it, guess I'm just friendly.
It bothers my wife sometimes, and that's even now that I'm aware of it bothering her.
I've tried to tone it down, I realy have, I love my wife, been with her more than 30 years, I don't like doing things that make her uneasy.
Anyway,
I wouldn't be such a flirt.

papadoc · 22nd January 2002, 22:10

Jon Deaux...are you flirting with us?
It's not fair to flirt with a flirt
who's flirting with another flirt.
Doesn't that word get weird after awhile?
Oh well...carry on...

insomniac · 22nd January 2002, 22:40

i wish i was able to talk to girls i just meet with more ease. i can talk to my friends (girls) just fine,but someone new,i choke. i mean,i have no problem with girls,they like me,i seem to attract them and i have no problem going out with em and junk,but it`s just first impressions that i screw up on.

i also wish i could concentrate in school and were more motivated. i am pretty damn smart,but i am just not motivated at all. so i don`t make good grades. nobody thinks im dumb,they all know that im really smart,so i dont have anything to prove. but my future depends on the grades i make,and this is really hurting me.

Huehuetenango · 22nd January 2002, 22:47

two things
1)i wish i weren't such a bloody wuss (you guys know why)
2)i wish i could give up coca cola (this is my second day w/out, i'mgoing through withdrawl)

fwgx · 22nd January 2002, 22:55

I had a friend who was addicted to coke before, now he only drinks sprite. I thought that was quite unique but I guess not

Huehuetenango · 22nd January 2002, 22:59

i'm not even going to drink sprite
i'm giving up all caffinated drinks
i drink way too much
water all the way for me, now

I wish that I had a set of concrete plans for my future. Right now, it plays out like this:

Step 1. Collect Degree
Step 2. ?
Step 3. Profit

I really have no idea what I really want to do. If I did, I think I could easily motivate myself. As it is, I have a hard time pushing myself, when I can't see a real reason to.

Gotta agree PapaDoc, words do tend to weird out upon repetition.
I know another word that aint ever seemed just right too.
That word is: TUMPT, or it could be TUMPED.
I don't know if they use the word everywhere, but by gawd they use it in Texas and Arkansas.
If you turn a truck over in Ohio, you'da tumpt it over in Texas or Arkansas.
Tumped, tumpt, durn.

Xerxes · 23rd January 2002, 01:02

I wish I had more energy to do things...I took the "navy test" at the US Navy website and under "do-er" it came up '0'

Ditto.
And I could use some orthodontal work, I don't like those two teeth either side of the front center two.

deathazre · 23rd January 2002, 01:08

Yeah, mine were worse... one wasn't completely developed and was all wierd looking, so I had it enameled. And now it's yellower than the rest.

bluetape2k1 · 23rd January 2002, 03:01

We were put on this earth to evolve but if I didn't have my past experiences with life I would not be open minded (abit slow but open minded)

I'm scared to trust many people now thats one of my problems , except for here

When I was careless in the past I always got hurt cause they where not the person you once thought was a friend or family

also becuase of a bad past I tend to be very quiet and people always ask me to speak up and I get pissed but thats what I'd change not much really
life is an experience, respect that you are living it

Long day :P
that may not make sence but its does to me

Bop · 23rd January 2002, 07:38

If I could change anything-
I wish I had more discipline, motivation, faith, and ambition.
I've got five to seven decades to work on it...
I'm gonna go relax, maybe play some asteroids or something...

BeerBaron · 23rd January 2002, 19:27

Has anyone ever beat asteroids? mabey i just suck, but i never beat it.
