    I'd like to be able to just talk ****e, it's actually a hard skill and can be advantageous. I always fee like the neural pathways in my brain don't connect properly, I'll have an idea about what I want to say but it's like I run out of factual information, realise the point is way more nuanced than I could ever articulate and it just means my chat is so bad. Would love to change that.

    Plenty, but most of all I wish my depression would just fcuk off. If that's all I could ever change I'd be content with that.

    Nothing. I used to be conceited, now I'm perfect.

    Too skinny even though i eat a ton.

    6ft 1 and 11 stone. Wish i wasn't a scrawny fecker.

    Oh and the balding doesn't help either. It's time to shave it all off soon enough.

    Yeah, I'd like to be more sociable too..

    But, is this the third or fourth thread that you've started in a kind of similar vein?..

    I kind of get the impression that you're kind of looking at this the wrong way..
    Like you've watched too many YouTube videos about pseudo-pop-psychology and how to present yourself, or have charisma or something..

    Sorry for being forward, if this is being forward..

    Oh yeah, and be less depressed/mad too..

    That's such an astute observation. Definitely the case.

    1. Agree with some individuals more, even though their points make no sense, it will make them happy and I'm avoiding a pointless conversation ... win-win, I started doing that today and it works perfect!
    2. I'd like to be able to have a better memory in general, I'm reading/learning/exercising my brain more now so hopefully ...
    3. Body recomposition, started cycling & going to the gym.

    I wish I could get on with other women. I have so many male friends it's unreal. I have just 2-3 female friends.

    I wish I could twist to the right as quick as I can twist to the left. Pretty much every fighter I spar with these days knows my weak side. I have done so _damn much_ to strengthen the other side. But it has not helped. It doesn't stop me when I meet a new combatant. But anyone who is an actual fighter - and has fought me more than three or four times - learns how to Fk me up and once they do - I'm done with them. I just can't take them any more - more often than not.

    And at my age - I don't think I'm gonna train this weakness out of me any time soon.

    I would like to be content with myself. Id like to look in the mirror and think I look good today.
    I have been told I look good but I would like to feel that myself.
    That and a porsche would be great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,243 ✭✭✭✭RMAOK


    I would like to be able to loose weight - no matter how much I exercise/diet, nothing ever seems to work (or at least work at a rate that I'd be happy with).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,977 ✭✭✭Greyfox


    I wish I could keep my room tidy but it's difficult when your a hoarder. I've just started to read a book called the life changing magic of tidying so hopefully that helps

    The moment you sell that to a second hand book shop - you're cured :)

    For the love of god, change your username. Get rid of the negativity.

    Introverts and extroverts react differently, meet any good salesman and they can talk continuously, the very best keep it interesting.



    The bad news is that I don't think you can rewire your brain, but you can build up confidence. Go out with your friends and have the bants, and build up from there.

    Im not used to public squeaking, I piss pronounciate a lot of my worms

    I really wish I could. I actually picked it as a word play on Trump go figure :D

    I'm generally quite a happy-go-lucky person, but I'd love to be able to let things go and not overthink so much. Taller would also be nice. I'm fine with the rest of the deal.

    Two options. Re-reg or pay a small fee to the admins to allow a name change.



    But, at least your username isn't self deprecating in intention.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Yeah, I could definitely do with being less negative too..

    (Notice I didn't even say more positive..I'm that negative..)

    I used to think like that the tao, positive and negative would kind of cancel out, and things would kind of work out, but after a few bad years my outlook is way too negative.. It's bloody self fulfilling then too..

    I’d be more likeable. I think I could sort the whole world out if every muppet and his granny did not have a problem with my solutions.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Yeah, I always considered self depreciation to be a good thing too.. turns out it wasn't/isn't..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,560 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    I'd like to be a bit more of a risk taker..

    Nothing wrong with a little bit of humility or being a little self deprecating if you're really successful. Otherwise, might not be the best. :)


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I am probably the worst ever at self depreciation. Like I can not imagine anyone who could do it worse than this. Unless it was me. Then I would be worse at it then even myself ---- oh crap the theists have a problem with infinite regress - my self depreciation has just invented infinite progress :) and I am so humble I now someone else could have done this better than me!

    As a 5ft7 guy, it would be my height.
