We usually see the bad in others. How they are too selfish, apathetic, rude or too self-absorbed. But about in our own selves? What's the one thing you hate most about yourself?
Let me go first. What i hate most about myself is that i'm stuck in the past. no matter how much i want to move forward, the past seems to just haunt me. how i wish i could just live for the present.
How about you?

one thing i hate most about myself is that i m just so lethargic so much that sometimes it really has bad impacts on my decisions. i always promise myself that i m not going to be like this any more but to no avail and it's really frustrating to see myself going on the same path again and again!!! i wish i had some more enthusiasitic approach towars new things...

being a dreamer can sometimes be a good thing. how i wish i had that in me. problem with me is i lack dreams, and plans. i take things one at a time. i never look forward into the future.
do you always look at the big picture? i think that's also a good thing.

Oh man. I can only pick one? That's too hard. I'm impatient, I'm seriously the biggest idiot ever and I can never do anything right. I'm a huge disappointing loser. Ok, so I guess we can sum that up to attitude. I'm pretty pessimistic. :P

Well, I'd have to say that living in the past is part of my problem too. I do really still feel affected by my past more than I should be, even though my life is now very different than it used to be. It's like I've escaped physically but not mentally as of yet. Still working on that one, but it'll probably take a while. Say, til I die or so.

I wish that I had more patience with the people in my life. I am patient with children and sick people which is why I know I will be a good nurse. When it comes to regular everyday people though I am very impatient. I shouldn't be but I can't help it.

i'm sure you could be patient with other people in your life since as you said you are patient with children and sick people.
i do know what you mean, princeworthy. we are sometimes better with other people but when it comes to our own families or the people around us, it's different. it just is.

the one thing i hate the most is that i am very poor in mixing with new peaple when ever i try to have a new relation i fail. some peaple dont want to be my friend as i dont pose a good impression on them when i first meet them. so its very difficult for me to make new relation.
do u have any solution to this problem of mine or are u same like me.

i am exactly like you, sonukuldeep! i am very friendly to people i already know but kind of snobbish on the first meeting. at least that's what some people think about me when they first meet me. i need someone to break the ice and usually it's not me who will talk first.
i think you should just be yourself. i mean if that's the way you are, i don't think there's anything wrong with that. because when you force things, it will be very obvious that you are not comfortable in the situation and others will also feel the same way. then, the more people will not come up to you for a conversation. i'm sure once they know you, they will realize how great a person you are!

To be able to really know what is it that must be changed in us, we have to get ourselves to meditate on it. Once we realize what they are, it requires self-discipline, courage and resolve in order to carry out that most needed change. Let's ask for divine guidance, and it will surely be granted. Do this and reap your rewards soon enough.
