Inspired by Tminx's post on self analysis, I took a long hard look at myself and tried to identify personality traits that might need a little tweaking. In my view, it displays a distinct lack of character not to strive to be a better person and tell the world to "accept me as I am".
There are a few things about myself that I ought to work on:
What can I say? I am very much a 'work in progress'.

I am first!
Be right back,lemme go read.
Oh! Boor,
From your name I could tell,all these your traits.
For you to define yourself as complex,you must be.
I like the fact that yu donot make emotional decisions though.
But where u always like this? even as a child?
We are all work in progress.
I guess,some people and situations make us what we are.
Everyone is in working progress. I do think you have to accept yourself for who you are rather than telling the world to accept you.I have tried to change certain aspects of my character sometimes and I feel so dissapointed when I cant really change. so I decided to accept my self for what I am. Everyone is human thus is inherently flawed.
I think it's about that time for introspection.
I also feel I'm very complex and can be very calculating.
I forgive most things but never forget. Dont know if that changes anything.
You just described someone I know...very uncanny!
Improving and accepting one's self is a balancing act. Its striking a maintainable balance thats key.
Oh Boorish, am a fan and stayed up late reading your blogs many a night.
At least you know and acknowledge you traits and you can start working on them. No one is perfect
Hi Borish- You are like me when it comes to the lie part. I remember everything.
Wow, we are quite different. I trust unless given a reason not to, I forgive at the drop of a hat, and boy do I forget. I only remember how I felt at the particular time, but not the conversation word for word.
@Tminx, u know what they say "opposites attract". ;-)
@number 1 fan, thanks for reading my blog. do comment more often....
I just wonder what is the up side to your areas of progress. I am sure there are plenty. Do you really want to change?
Just a thought.
BTW Love ur blog...I happen to read this just before I read ur blog. I thought it might help with the whole Introspection. Be well. We are in this mess together! Bisous xx
They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you
stop going along with the crowd and start realizing
that there are many things about yourself that you
didn't know and may not like. You start feeling
insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or
two, but then get scared because you barely know where
you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that,
maybe, those friends that you thought you were so
close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have
ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are
some of the most important ones. What you don't
recognize is that they are realizing that too, and
aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that
they are as confused as you.
You look at your job... and it is not even close to
what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job
and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and
that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others
are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you
realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are
constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and
what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the
next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest
force of your life. You feel alone and scared and
confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try
and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon
realize that the past is drifting further and further
away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you
are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you
loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you
can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better.
Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out
why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.
Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk
with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make
a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for
yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd
just like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it.
We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we
can to figure this whole thing out.
In the end, we all get through it, like many have done in the past.
