Subject: What Do You Dislike About Yourself?
Written By: velvetoneo on 05/20/06 at 6:59 pm
I'm cynical about people and overly judgmental. And I'm very, very fearful of things.

Aye.. a lot of things. I pretty much hate everything about myself about 3 months after I do it. I can't even stand reading my old posts.
My least desirable trait is how much I drive people away.. I'm very annoying. I'm also very apathetic... pretty much unlikable. Meh.

I hate that I'm a horrible conversationalist. How awkward I am around people... and how most of the time, it's actually a chore for me to be around other people. Sometimes I hate how obsessed with the past I am.. how I can never let go of things. I hate how jealous I am. How no matter how hard I try to be confident, I fail miserably. There are a lot of days where I completely hate my entire appearance... more of those days than days I'm actually comfortable with who I am.
Wow!

I used to hate my appearance more when I was fat, though I miss being skinny right after that.
I feel really anxious about everything, worry for everyone else about things that are none of my business, and sometimes I can't converse with people, but other people I can, because they don't make me nervous.

I'm cynical about people and overly judgmental. And I'm very, very fearful of things.
I often feel like that too...I'm inadvertantly a bit harsh and judgemental of people. I also dislike the bitterness I still sort of harbour against many people my age, because I never really felt I 'belonged' as a teenager or even now. I wish I could just live my life, but I guess I can't really help it. I'm also quite shy and very inhibited, making me awkward with girls, in uncomfortable situations.etc. lol

I feel uncomfortable when I'm with a group of people; I realise I just don't fit in because I somehow see things completely diffently then them. I just wish I didn't care so much about what people think.
Another thing is that I get lost in my own illusions and then I can't make the diffence between what really is going on in my life and what I wish was happening.
I lie to myself.

Exactly...that's why chatting online and posting on the inthe00s.com are in many ways better than conversation in real life. At least here we can cut to the chase, and discuss things that interest us. On a purely intellectual level, I think posting or chatting is a viable substitute to face to face conversation.

Just once I would like to hear "Hey LyricBoy, nice package". :-\\

I hate how down I am on myself when I don't do something right. I am somewhat of a perfectionist and I like things "just so" a lot of the time. I get nervous whenever things aren't in their place or whenever people don't put things away right, etc. I sometimes expect too much from people. I am very moody and depressed a lot of the time, but I can put on a good face when needed. I hate the fact that I am overweight and that I cannot seem to lose the weight. I also hate that I still haven't finished college completely and have taken so long to do what I have wanted to do in life.

I don't like that I can't seem to keep up an exercise to routine. At my age, I need to have steady exercise or I'm in trouble. But I don't. And I can't seem to conquer this. Meanwhile, my body's becoming flabby and weak. I'm very unhappy about it.

I tend to beat people to the punch at check-out areas.. I always say "Have a good day, son." before they can respond.
People usually say "What's Up?" or a variant, and I usually just say "Not Gonna Go There" if it's bad or "Fine" if things are okay.
