If You Could Change Something(s) About Yourself...

If I’d still have to try to get by in human society, easily that would be to give me the ability to reliably and readily communicate. I’m much more likely to communicate effectively in writing/typing, but even that is by no means guaranteed, and communication is such a vital part of human life. Definitely the impairment that affects me most significantly.
 
I wish I was more interesting. My life is kind of single-focused and that works out well for the career industry I'm in and the friends I have, but I think the general public cannot relate and most regular people probably find me pretty lackluster.

This contradicts what my friends and some family members tell me though, since a lot of them have said that I have a really magnetic personality and I'm very charismatic and people love me. But idk what people actually think once it gets beyond surface level and they find out that my entire life revolves around one specific interest.
 
good lord, so many things.
Top of my list, I would not have sturge weber syndrome. What a literal pain.
Second, I probably wouldn't be human. Or possibly just not born in this time period.
I probably would choose to not be a girl either, because boobs lol
And I really wish I would have never listened to my mother. What she instilled in me may be the end of me, so I really
wish I just would have the wisdom and strength to make up my own mind about things.
I wish I wasn't so distracted, unmotivated and unorganized.
About 25 years younger would not be terrible.

For what it's worth, I think you are interesting, and have interesting interests! :)

And I'm sure most, if not everyone here, would attest to what your friends and some of your family members think of you! :tulip:
 
I would change the part where I have ASD, that seems like an easy one ;)

If that weren't attainable, I'd go with the removal of special interests too, in exchange for normal interests. Fill my brain up with sportsballs and stupid TV shows and I'll be in good company on this strange planet.
 
I wish I had a naturally stronger voice. When I speak normally, people cannot hear me because I am quiet and cannot understand because I mumble.
 
It would be nice to have 10 fingers and 10 toes, like most people.
Instead of 12 and 14.


I'm just kidding. :D I have always had a tendency to joke around too much. It just happens, something in me comes up with silly things and then they fall out of my mouth before I can stop it. It can be too much sometimes, would probably be good to change that.

... what would it be?

I, often, find myself drawn to wittiness in a person, and have wished that I could possess this appealing, character trait.

There are additional things I would change, but, I've been pondering this, most recently.

Feel free to list as many, or, as few you would change if you could. Whether, possible, or not.

I wish I could change my pain and the fact that I am always,taken advantage of.
I wish I could be changed into an uglier women because then I would be left alone by everyone. So hard as an autistic to feel like your appearance is so heavily fixated on.
Do I like my appearance yes but I have lost a lot of hair and weight and am unwell
Do I think my appearance is perfect..no
Do I think I can be a real gorgeous beauty with some effort yes
But the fact is it is all the focus in my life and I am unwell and cannot just be myself
I wish I could understand my life and how to get what I need without always being preyed on and taken advantage of and without having to think so negative and downcast all the time focusing on bad points and just focus on my faith and life and just getting to where I need to be and taking goof care of myself. Just taking one moment at a time
 
I wish l could believe people didn't lie. I wish that l hadn't fallen for one who lied. I wish l didn't feel pain and sorrow that they lied to me. Now l feel their apology will never be enough in this lifetime. I hope they never ever approach me in public. I wish l didn't have to always be guarded, this is something l can't change in me.
 
I would fix my immune system to make it again able to effectively deal with EPSTEIN-BARRE virus, so I'm not having put up with what essentially amounts to permanent mono. I don't idle well, but too often don't have the energy to do anything
 
I would change to be more attractive. I’m decent looking, but not, you know. I don’t have a love life. And I feel like I’ll be viewed as a child forever

Perhaps in an alternate universe.
