Nothing. I am who I am. Why change myself?

I would be more loud /outgoing. Those are the people who blossom in dating, and always get a partner they are crazy about, as opposed to shy.

I keep looking over this thread and I'm drawing a blank. I'm stubborn...but I like that. I'm really crass and crude at times...but I like that. I'm vastly amused with myself...but again, I like that. I have a temper, but it's rare and it gets stuff done (and I kinda like that too).

Overall, I think I'm awesome...so I guess we'll have to go with...

I'd like to add a touch of humility to my persona. Not too much...just a tad.

I'd become an amateur improvisationalist / comedian and get the hate started.

I get my feelings hurt easily even in times I shouldn't. I guess I'm a little too sensitive.

I am working on the one part of my personality that I now believe has been a burden to my wife and children for a long time - pushing people away. Although I sort of knew I was doing it, when the sh*t hit the fan recently, being introspective allowed me to see myself for who I was. Not a bad person, but deep down below the surface I had a bubble that hurt people. No more.

I want to learn how to get along with people like you better.

I remember after my roommate broke up with his girlfriend, he was literally shaking in his bed. To comfort him...I asked if he wanted to read my "Pet Semetary" book by Stephen King he'd expressed interest in a few weeks before.

It took me a solid month to realize I probably should have said something more supportive

I like sensitive people though. They're fun. They create a light that brightens the world around them. They exude the energy that brings color to an otherwise duller, grayer world.

I think various aspects of life would probably be easier if I were thicker skinned, and less apt to shy away from confrontation (as well as being able to think quickly on my feet in confrontation).

But I wouldn't really want to change who I am, even if, as in the above, it might make life easier. I like how I am.

I wouldn't say I'm HIGHLY sensitive, lol. I just feel rejected easily, which is where some of the sensitivity stems from. I'm not weirdly sensitive, just sensitive.

Procrastination and laziness...I know that's two, but they seem to be sort of one...... I am awash with guilt all the time about the stuff I need to do and I just don't do it/them.
