Okay, I have decided that a lot of you people are way too prideful, and a lot of you really have way too much self loathing, so it evens out right?

Now, I am not one to name names (oh who am I kidding yes I am! but I won't here) so, here is the deal.....

everyone's assignment for today (tonight, tomorrow, whenever) is to list

5 things I hate about myself


5 things I love about myself

and

5 things I want to change about myself......


we will all meet up in a week and quote our original post and try again and see if A) we love or hate new things about ourselves, and B) if we are making progress on the things we wish to change.

I will post in a minute I don't want to ruin the first post with my stuff though. ;)

Can't really come up with stuff I hate about myself--I worked really hard to get rid of self-loathing a few years back. But I'd like to get a bit more self-disciplined--I'm supposed to be grading papers right now, for instance. And I'd like to drop a few pounds. But that's about it.

Errr...

I am totally good with myself and the world and not in need of fixing.

Thanks anyway, though.

The only thing I hate about myself is the fact that I am going gray..... but only in my nostril hairs. It looks silly!

Besides that, what's not to love?

I don't like this thread. But, I'm going to do it anyway.

5 things I hate:
my pride
my laziness
my lack of prayer
my eager anger
my appearence

5 things I love:
my salvation
my hope
my determination
my discernment
my creativity
(and 3 of these point to the first of my list of things I hate)

5 things I want to change:
be more humble
get a work ethic
be more kind
pray more
be calmer

Okay. That's it. Actually, there's so much more, but that's all for now.

okay you guys....really?

come on.

Do you mean "OK you guys who haven't posted, come on already?" or "OK you guys who have, are you kidding me or what?" cause if it is the second...

Nope, not kidding you. I have long since decided that the way to go is to find my own peace and happiness, and so I do. There is nothing I hate about myself, hate is counterproductive. There are many things I love about myself, but if I just listed THAT, you would accuse me of being prideful, so never mind. Anything I think needs changing, I am in process of doing already, so no need to mention it.

Yep. I am a happy, well adjusted person, believe it or not. I have my scars, and my treasures, and all of them add up to me, and I am glad to be who I am, with no need to pick myself apart or throw myself into psychoanalysis for the entertainment of anyone, not even you nice folk.

somehow rouse my comatose muse

I read this as "somehow rouse my comatose mouse."

I didn't understand why you would even keep a mouse if it were comatose.

But then I saw that it said muse and everything was good again.

This actually comes at a perfect time; my SO and I just fought over whether or not I need to change the way I treat him. Or, well, we agreed that I need to change the way I treat him... I just didn't know I was treated him badly to begin with. So anyway.

I don't like:

1) My overly-emotional tendencies. The fact that everything makes me cry.
2) The fact that... in a situation where I feel unconfident or unsure, I act like a bitch and try to say witty, cutting things, just so people don't think I'm vulnerable.
3) The fact that I go to extreme lengths to "prove" that I am independent and will not answer to orders from anyone, even if that means refusing the simplest requests just to show that I will not be "forced" into anything. Orders like, say, my SO telling me I have five seconds to kiss him before he shuts the door, so I just turn around and walk away... no, I don't know what kind of crack I'm on, either.
4) The fact that I'm completely insecure.
5) The fact that I am terrible at conveying my thought and emotions, because people are constantly misunderstanding my feelings and intentions... sigh. Maybe it's the fact that I say the opposite of what I feel, just to protect myself, somehow.

I do like:

1) The fact that I'm willing to admit that I'm wrong and try to fix things.
2) That I can make my friends laugh when they really need it.
3) That I can be matter-of-fact and oddly sensible in the most potentially awkward situations.
4) That I believe in love. :)
5) And... uhm... I like whatever my SO sees in me that keeps him here, even when I'm not at all easy to put up with, and even though he wonders why he puts up with me at all. I am forever thankful for whatever he sees in me.

I need to change:

1) The way I talk to him, because sometimes, I'm not so nice. Especially when I feel like I'm supposed to be proving something.
2) The way I act in situations where I feel insecure. I think I just need to smile and shut up, or something. I'm actually not sure. It's all a work in progress.
3) The way I fake confidence when I have none, because apparently, it comes off as arrogant, and that's really never a good thing. And here I thought I'd done a good job of getting over my inherent shyness. :(
4) The fact that I've never been to Europe. That definitely needs to change.
5) I need to, most importantly, say how I feel, when I feel it. Not say something because I think it sounds better than whatever I'm feeling. Not hide behind some display of independence, when I really, really just want to kiss him and ask him if he loves me, cos that's all I needed to hear to make the situation okay anyhow. Not try and sound witty and cool and aloof and completely secure with myself when I'm just really none of those things. I've always been so afraid that someone wouldn't accept me, but I don't even give them me to accept. I just give them... psycho bitch. Clearly, and not surprisingly, I'm not getting so far under that title.

So maybe this was a bit of a confession, too, and a bit of an "I-need-to-get-this-stuff-out" post. But I will indeed quote this post in a week and see how far I've gotten on the working to fix myself front.

Things I hate about myself:

I'm an underachiever.
By past experiences, I infer that i'm generally undesirable to the opposite sex.
I focus on my own needs more than the needs of others.
I lack foresight.
I am overly hedonistic.

I like:

When I am willing to apply myself to an intellectual task, I can do well.
I am individualistic enough to at least have the desire to stand out from the crowd.
I'm physically fitter than i've ever been. (which isn't saying much, but hey :p)
I'm a music snob and I wouldn't change that for the world.
I can drink more booze than you can.

My goals to change:

To actually get off my butt and do some work - I need high distinctions in all of my subjects this semester to continue with uni past my undergraduate degree, or else i'm destined to get a shitty low wage job when I could be in more comfortable circumstances.

Linked to that, i'd like to stop that hedonism thing. I need to be able to focus on the above without any distractions.

And also linked to that, I need to stop spending my money and save up for a car/put time in for a licence.

I'd like to develop a sense of foresight. Too often I do things, or don't do things, without paying heed to the future consequences.

To finish that off, a girlfriend would be nice, but I don't think anything I can do will affect that much, really.

That might be true, but the alternative is getting thrown out of pubs and such by bouncers after only an hour or two. I'm quite happy, thanks. :p

Love:

1. Self-confidence - I hold the belief that I am able to deal with any given situation (this is coming from someone who had major anxiety probs (I had panic attacks all day everyday at one point).
2. Honesty
3. I always try to do the right thing (by myself and others). I will always go out of my way to help someone I like.
4. Nice guy (honest!).
5. I don't care who holds what opinion of me. The way I see it, people can either like me as I am or move along, I have no time for trying to make people like me. I change for no-one:)

Hates:
1. Lazy sometimes.
2. Medical stuff.
3. Being single for so long yet doing nothing to change that.
4. Being crap with money.
5. Being v.untidy (my flat's a hole!).

Change:

1. Greater confidence in approaching women.
2. Stop buying everything I want and getting further into debt.
3. Being tidier.
4. Be more involved when around a group of people (I tend to be quiet and just sit back and listen).
5. Ummmm....

The Bad-
I procrastinate.
I tend towards stasus.
I'm better at talking myself out of things than into them.
My life takes too long and I don't have enough of it.
I mumble.

The Good-
I have an active imagination.
On occasion I can make people laugh.
I have just enough talent in interesting things that I can do interesting things.
I have a pretty capable stress coping mechanism, though that tends to feed my allowing stasus, it takes a whole lot for me to get so fed up that I have to do something.
I have enough curiosity that I can get into a lot of things.

Fuck, I forgot what the third set was...

Change?
That finishing was something I did as often as starting.
That I could maintain a resonable amount of order.
Speak up and clearly.
More active when I didn't have to be.
Find a way to still not care that much about things I don't care about without letting them go to crap.

Hate:
It's difficult to motivate myself to do something new.
Spend too much money on CDs.
I hold myself back to be comfortable. (Thanks Sane Outcasts)
That I have no recorded music of my own creation. (Thanks BackwoodsSquatches)
That I have no published writing of my own creation. (Technically, this isn't true, but for the purposes of making a living, it is.)

Love:
My love of both intellectual and non-intellectual pursuits.
My ability to remain monogamous in the face of temptation.
That, despite having loathed exercise for a number of years, I'm starting to do it and almost enjoying it.
That I've accomplished more than I believed I could have eight years ago.
That I could conceivably choose to be alone and not be miserable about it.

Change:
Save up money to put out a book.
Start a band.
Learn how to play the drums properly, or the guitar, or some other instrument.
Get financial crap sorted out for school.
Consider sacrificing temporary comfort for future gain.

well, i missed this thread yesterday, but im still going to do it

things i like about myself
- known for being good at maths
- i have a good part-time job
- i'm enough of a nerd to get lunatic goofball's avogadro joke
- i'm paranoid, a perfectionist and a procrastinator, but i can still get the marks
- i've managed to become slightly less mainstream than most of my peers.

things i hate about myself
- i have not a skerric of creativity in my entire being
- i'm too insecure in social situations. if i relaxed for a minute, im sure i'd be fine
- i would never admit it in rl, but my boyfriend being two years younger than me does bother me on occasion
- i try too hard to be the person i'm not: rebellious, dangerous, a leader, slightly emo and intriguing, and at ease
- somedays, i wish i had a personality disorder so i could have a built in excuse to withdraw more into myself whenever i needed to. that can't be good.

things i'd like to change
- a horrid addiction to all things electronic (NS, MSN, myspace, especially)
- a need to be tidier. currently, ive had to clear a path in the dirty clothes to reach my desk
- i need to be less distracted by stupid things
- i should throw more stuff out
- i should go to bed earlier
- i should wash my hair more often
- i should make more to-do lists that actually get done
- an odd yearning to make myself bleed all the time. mostly picking old scabs and popping pimples. but yeah. it's gross.
- i would also change that i see so many faults in myself. hence, the long list.

The only thing I hate about myself is that I was born good looking and not rich, I love everything else about myself, and since I can't change the circumstances of my birth, I work to enrich myself.

Sorry, but theres nothing else to bring the lists up to five things.

People think I'm arrogant. That's not true. I can see my own faults. My biggest fault is that I don't know how great I truly am! [/paraphrase Mohammad Ali]
