    Time for critical analysis. What is it about you, either that's always been around or happened recently, that you have an issue with.


    I just noticed this today, but it's been a long going problem with me. I'm a modifier by nature; I love customization and altering things to better suit me; both cosmetically and even in terms of function. However, I am incredibly unorganized, despite my best efforts, and work extremely messy.
    I guess there's something positive about being able to still get it done (good at adapting, I guess)despite it, and despite that I am usually working with subpar materials and not even what I need to do the job proper. But still looking at some of my work, especially work from the past, being a bit of a perfectionist too, I get annoyed at its level of quality. It worked, but not pretty.

    What I wouldn't kill to have this innate skill of mine be polished. Think about those possibilities.
     
    Having confidence in myself outside of video games. In video games im the cockiest person you can find, but translate that to anywhere else and I fall flat.
     
    Let's see now...

    Yup, gonna have to think about this. xD I appreciate that it's a serious question though and will be back with a proper response.
     
    Well to start off, there's the fact that I'm (probably) a bit too arrogant. You'll probably never find me being even remotely humble or modest unless I'm in places (sites) like this. I'm aware of this flaw, but I really can't help it. The one thing that I must improve on, however, is taking things more seriously. It's hard to find me not half-assing things on purpose; I'm bound to meet failure in life much sooner because of that. Put positively though, I guess it just means that I'm pretty confident in myself.

    To be honest, I'm mostly only aware of these because so many people have pointed them out already.

    My mental and physical health could both do with some improvement. I can't do much about the latter but as to the former I've got a pretty severe anxiety disorder and depression and medication makes both worse not better, my physical health issues also cause both to be much worse than they'd otherwise be. I'm actively taking steps though to try and improve my outlook and enjoyment of life by doing things like pursuing creative endeavours, trying to learn new things and setting goals for myself.

    There's a whole lot more but let's start there.
     
    My perfectionist nature drives me in life and as a result I'm way too hard on myself if I make simple mistakes or achieve even simple goals.

    I'd like to work on this, but truth be told I'm not even sure where to start. @_@
     
    I need to learn how to finish things I start. I would feel more accomplished and probably less anxious.
     
    This sounds generic, however, I need to curb my tendency to procrastinate on everything. I do this so nonchalantly and I always calmly tell myself that I have so much time to complete a task even when it is incredibly untrue. I always overestimate how much time I have to do something and underestimate how much time it will take.
    I'm always fascinated with how long it will take me to complete a simple task. For instance, I could organize my makeup or clothing for hours upon hours. (In my defense I have a lot of both.)

    I'm a perfectionist by nature, meaning I always take forever to do something as I need things to be absolutely impeccable. Imperfection bothers me and the feeling that something isn't as grand as it could be keeps me up at night. When writing an essay, I constantly pause to re-read things and ensure that every sentence flows and that my vocabulary is superb. I have incredibly high standards for myself in general. Be it relationships, my appearance, schoolwork, or being the best at my job, I always hold myself to a certain level of sophistication. This is both beneficial and troubling. It works in my favor in the sense that I push myself to achieve things in life, as well as ensuring I only don't get involved in damaging relationships. However, my high expectations may lead me to find disappointment easily as well as to be unnecessarily hard on myself at times. I do consider myself to have a rather lax, bubbly personality type, although, under the surface my perfectionism reigns supreme.
