    Hey boardsies,

    I know this sounds like a bit of a ridiculous question, but i want to become a better person and i dont know how!

    Last year sucked for me in more ways than one, and 2012 has been awesome so far - but i can feel myself slipping into my old habits. I sometimes get carried away with the drink, which i have tried to control but lately i havent been able to. I overanalize situations with men and end up scaring them off.

    I just want to try improve as a person. But how? I dont think me myself and i is enough... i was going great but it crumbled. Do i need to see a therapist? Books? Meetings?

    Gosh, reading back on this it sounds silly. But i dont like the person i tend to be... i dont want to be that girl any more. I want to be a better girl.

    I dont know who i am. Im 28, have travelled the world 3 times but am stil unsure of myself and my goals, dreams, aspirations, morals etc.

    Help!? :S

    Only when you love yourself can others love you too.

    Cut the drink off cold turkey if you want to give it up by the way, it worked for me when I did it.

    If you really want to be a better person in the sense that everyone thinks you're sound, then you're going to have to force yourself to be happy through giving up bad habits and gaining good ones. This will give you the motivation to be the good girl in a situation and do what's best for everyone, even at your own expense.

    Good luck!

    Look outwards, not inwards. Ask an old lady/gentleman if you can carry their shopping. Wave to children. Say hello and smile at complete strangers. Pay it forward at toll booths. Accept that other people can be wrong but forgive them anyway. When you listen to someone really listen rather than waiting for a gap that you can jump into with your story. Be humble.
