Do you?

Yes, I wish I could change into a moderator and ban you immediately for spamming up the forums. But I am not, so enjoy your blue jersey

Well, they have been a lot of times where I wanted to go back in time and change a whole lot of things, but as for being The IB in general, that is not happening. Even if I go back in time, I will still be the same old IB.


But the most important thing is looking into the future, and there is a couple of things I do want to change here and there, but for the majority, I don't think I will change and stay the same IB.

The more I think on it, the longer the list of attributes and mannerisms I have that I deem undesirable will be. But I don't think that collection of things makes up the entirety of my character.

Everyone more or less plays a role in life based on their character. It's who they are and they can't help but play that role. With that in mind, while there's so much about me I wish I knew how to change, I still feel like I serve a purpose, perceived flaws and all, that no one else can serve. Everyone serves as an example of what to be, what not to be, or even a little of both. It's critical to our development that we interact with each other regularly just the way we are.

Not at all. I'm already too cool as it is, so any change could only be detrimental. 

I absolutely don't want to change who I am. Sure I'm not perfect but I'm happy with being the man that I am.

I don't really know. I may not like some of the things I've done, or mistakes I've made. But, I have done many things I'm proud of. I've met many people that have shaped me into the person I am, good and bad. 

I suppose there are things I would change, but I wouldn't really change who I am. 

Unless changing my gender changes who I am lol

I used to.

Then I did it.

When you aren't happy with who you are as a person, it's easy to blame other people. It's still easier to pretend that there's nothing actually wrong with you, and you are misunderstood. To an extent, this can be true, but in most cases, change has to come, or personal satisfaction will not come.

I think the idea of change, and what it means are different to each person. What I view as a major change may be a minor one to someone else, so it comes back to the idea of why you'd want to change in the first place. Do you want to change so others like you more? Do you want to change so you'd like yourself more? Do you want to change to get rid of your past? (This last one is highly inadvisable, running from your past means you probably didn't learn your lesson)

What is it that would serve as the catalyst of change? I think to answer your question, you first have to answer that one.

Personally speaking, I already have.

No, I don't want to change anything about who I am. However, there are some things that I did in my past that I deeply regret doing, and I would change that. 

There are parts of me that would want me to change, especially when it comes to being active and outgoing. Even though that's changed a lot over the past few yeats for a variety of reasons, there's still a lot of work to be some and I'm pretty sure that my life would be much better if I did.

Do I want to change the way I am physically? Mentally?

I do like myself the way I am, but there are several things I am working on for myself in terms of both physical change and mental change.

Physically, I want to lose weight, and I've been working on that with trying to go on long walks daily and dancing more often. At the same time, I end up having setbacks because of how I am. I'm a person who hates feeling hungry and can't concentrate without eating, and then when I'm stress, I tend to go hungry and end up eating. As a result, I overeat, which doesn't help me at all, but I continue to try anyways. However, I don't think I'm ugly by being overweight. I honestly think I look fine all the same, and on a plus, it means I'm not making myself miserable by starving.

Mentally, I'm already making progress with my changes. Back then, I often had a pessimistic view on life and genuinely felt I didn't deserve to feel happiness, but now I've been cutting out all negative influences in my life and keeping a positive attitude on things. I've also been working on my anxieties as I tend to get anxious over many things. This also ties in with negative influences because a few months ago, I began to be anxious just by being in discord servers that either made me feel uncomfortable or I have to be the person to deal with the worst trouble because other moderators in the server didn't want to intervene. Cutting it all out has helped me deal with anxiety, and I've been calm since. 

Then I learned to let go of all the things that had made me angry or sad in the past, and I've felt I've gotten better with my mood since. I also learned to forgive people who did wrong to me and to forgive myself when I screw things up badly, and I no longer feel resentment to myself or anyone. 

Do I want to change myself? Physically, yes, but it's not the end of the world if I'm still fat. Mentally, I feel I'm doing a decent job in changing myself, and I'll continue to do my best.

mentally, i've kinda been hecked over beyond repair with life and the such. i've just come to accept that's an issue and i've been getting over it. i don't have any big mental issues, nor am i narcissistic or totally pessimistic. my biggest issue is probably just me being lonely

physically? my weight is fine. i'm underweight due to diet and sleeping habits but that's not really a bad thing. i'd like to increase my height and chest size but i don't have any way of going about that without just hoping i think.

in the end, these things are just what make me myself. i've accepted them, come to terms and become happy with myself.
i think.

To be honest, not really. Over the last 5 to 6 years, I've changed into who I want to be, some might thing I am a real jerk, but I get to the point now where I say what I want, and how I want to say it, and I don't apologize for things I say, especially in this world full of easily offended people. Physically? Yeah I can change a little bit, which I have worked on for the last 4 or 5 months, and that has been nice.

The only thing I would want to change is the ease with which I currently can change myself. I believe I should be able to change myself if I really want to. But... that's easier said than done at times. I wish I wasn't as lazy and spend more time bettering myself. 

Not at all. I'm not anywhere near the best kind of person, but I know who I am and I wouldn't change it. I have my own issues but I believe in the power of seeing people through their issues, which is something that I exercise all the time. I hope that people do the same for me, because I try to be as kind and trustworthy as I can be.

Maybe physically I would. I'd like to drop some more fat and gain some more muscle, but I'm already working on that regardless.

I think I could learn a lot from the user above me. They seem to have a grasp on something I could never understand.
For me, personally, I wish I could be anyone.. anybody.. anything other than who I am now. I don't think I've been genuinely happy since I was a kid.
I'm aware the happiness is a state of mind and people say that you can find it in yourself even during the hardest of times, but I've yet to see that to be evident.

I think that if I could ever find myself to be comfortable in my own skin and comfortable with the person I've developed to be in life that I could probably be happy. I just don't really see that as a possiblity where I currently am in life.

Very much so. My bad habit of procrastination has screwed me over many, many times and it's so deeply seeded into me that I have had no luck in breaking free of it. But at least it's something I feel I can change, I just need to actually follow through on the promises I make myself.

Honestly, I don't want to change the core of myself. I believe it's fine as it is. I do, however, have a lot of minor and major things about myself that I'd like to change. Namely, I have a bad habit of procrastination, not picking things up the way I should, and not finishing things I start. I have other issues as well, but these are the main ones that I really want to change and avoid ever lapsing back into in the future. As it stands right now, these are the issues that are standing in my way, stopping me from accomplishing my goals and my dreams.
