    There is usually always at least one thing most of us would like to change about ourselves. What is the biggest one for you?

    I'll start:

    I wish I was more confident.

     

    OK, who's next?

    I wish I wasn't as skeptical with people I don't really know.  I have a hard time trusting people I don't know, therefore it takes me a while to get to know someone and trust them *sigh* it's ssooo annoying! lol

    @redherring: I wish I was employed too! It is getting so old...

    I wish I was still figure skating. I miss the spot so much and how it gave me the confidence to do most anything and an outlet for lifes troubles

    Good answers!

    I know it's hard to answer just one thing.

    @ mimosa -I almost put something along those lines - hard to trust people so even harder to make friends. I got that, totally.

    @ krissybee - Anxiety. Yep - I just lumped it all into one category under "wish I was more confident" lol

    taller. My mom is 5'10", my dad is 6'3", and I am 5'5" on a day after lots of stretching. I realize that 5'5" is probably pretty average, but its not for my family. I have 10 year old cousins taller than me. Why did I get the short gene?

    Lately, I wish I wasn't so lazy about working out. It's like I'm horrified at how many lbs I've gained since the wedding yet... I do nothing. What is wrong with me?!

    I wish my legs were longer.

    I'm totally not the type of person who dwells on my body type. Over the years I've become so much more accepting of who I am. BUT, my legs are crazy short, and having to get every single pair of pants hemmed is a pain. I'd rather have longer legs and save the $15 trip to the tailor.

    @Recessionista -- me too.  I wish I was natrually thin and didn't have to calculate every. single. thing. I put into my mouth in order to lose weight. 

    I also wish I was more confidant at work -- every time my boss calls me into his office, I fear he's going to fire me.

    I wish I was able to let go better!

    Let me explain...sometimes I get so wrapped up in something (something negative someone says or someone doing something wrong or i get a bad test grade) and I hold onto it and let it wear me down longer than it should. I wish I could just move on faster!

    I wish I could lose weight by sleeping about 12 hours a day. I could so commit to that plan.

    Perhaps smarter or more motivated.  I guess motivated would win, I think most of my issues stem from not caring enough. :/

    I am going to be totally superficial right now and say I wish I was rich.  Just going through a lot of money issues right now and it would totally lift some weight off my shoulders.

    In reality though, I also wish I was less emotional and thinner.
