    Public speaking, holds me back so much.
    I light up like a Christmas tree when anyone says anything to me in even a slightly pressurised setting. The bane of my life.

    Being super super shy, paranoid and anxious in social situations, to the point where alot of people think always either think I'm rude, awkward or bit dim... I actually am awkward though :)

    I'm an all round s'well chap tbh. I have been told I'm quite boring but I'm really not, if you like talking crap 90s cars. But yeah, in general I am boring, no huge aspirations to do much or go travelling outside of Europe or any of that lark, but I'm happy.

    So, nothing really.

    There is a cure for that - alcohol.

    I wish I had more resilient skin (actual physical skin, not metaphorical). It didn't bounce back from weight loss well and I have a skin condition that flares up when I am stressed or run down.

    Other than that, I would literally change nothing, I like who I am inside and out (bar some dodgy skin) and it took a long time for me to feel that way.

    I'd love to stop getting anxious about going new places and talking to new people. It makes me feel sick and I think about it far too much.

    Also to stop caring what other people think!

    I'm a worrier, and tend to think the worst. Like if I see an e-mail from by team leader's boss, my first instinct is "oh jesus what the hell have I done." She was actually just thanking me for helping another team. :o

    It's a pretty crap way to be as when someone pays me a compliment I don't take it at face value, whereas I absolutely take criticism at face value.

    I guess it's just a confidence thing for me in general.

    I wish I could hide my disgust for some people more naturally.

    I overcompensate and they end up thinking I like them.

    My voice. I obviously have a quiet voice, considering the fact I often have to repeat myself to others.

    I need more confidence too. Like an earlier poster mentioned with speaking to others in public, I can feel my cheeks burning up. Not always, though. I probably need to speak up more and not seem like I'm lurking in a corner.

    I need to stop worrying about stupid stuff as well. I'm told at times that my health is more important than a lot of things, which is true.

    Wish I was smarter - my brothers seem to have gotten all the brains in the family and all that was left over for me was the discount bin. No one ever looks to me for an answer on anything.
    Wish I had a talent - I don't have a talent, again unlike my brothers which frustrates me so much. Just feel generally like I got nadda.
    Wish I was more attractive - I'm okay but I don't think I'm pretty and no where near beautiful.
    There's more, but I'd be here all day....

    I get easily irritated about people at times. Even if it's usually justified, it's really just a waste of energy.

    I would love to change my attitude to alcohol. lately, I don't drink that often or that much at all but I am always thinking about it.

    I have started going to the gym recently and that has really curbed my alcohol intake but I am very aware of it and always feel like I wouldn't mind a glass ofwine .

    It's really great that you're aware of it though, you should be delighted with yourself for that. It's the most important thing.

    Interesting thread. I could relate to many of the issues posted here when I was younger. As an older man now, they bother me far less or not at all. Age does help one to grow far more comfortable in far thicker skin.

    I still worry to much about my family and friends but not to the same obsessive degree I would have when I was in my 20's.
