What's your downfall in life? if there was anything you could change no matter what, maybe something that annoys you really bad what would it be?

if its something so small has hairy hands/feet to being crap with money or just being a lazy slob what would you change?

I have a few things I'd change but mostly my teeth! I've been so unlucky with them, they ain't seriously bad or noticeable but I've got a few chips here and there from hitting the bottom on my swimming pool when I was younger, also had 2 knocked out from playing football!

I'd also wish I started driving earlier! 'm 26 and still haven't bothered learning!

I'm shallow.
Talk too much
and don't show I care enough to those I really do care about...

Makes me come across as a bit self obsessed and not interested in others feelings... quite the opposite actually.

I also play Devil's advocate way too much and I also take my time over many issues, and by the time I do something its way too late.
 
Saying what I think instead of being polite. I just can't resist.

Even when I am trying my hardest to chat up a girl I will blurt out some joke or slight insult.

And I am guilty of playing Devils advocate also, everyone else likes to agree and ave a laugh, I say stuff just to disagree for a bit of a debate/argument.


And I probably am a bit lazy, slowly sorting that out though. :D

Tell me about it. Its caused me a lot of problems, as not sorting out issues when you should really has caused pain in the future..

The number of times I've come undone due to me ignoring or not sorting something out sooner has seen me come a real cropper!

I'm slowly learning, head in a bucket of sand really isn't working.
 
Confidence, been a real kicker over the years not having the balls to say or do what I want. I've been given every chance in life to help me come over it yet it still affects me.

Same here, I've never been confident in some aspects of my life and in others I'm quite confident, yet I've been told by a few friends that I'm one of the most confident person they've met.
 
I have a long list of downfalls but these are the main ones:

Having about as much confidence and insecurities as a steaming hot turd siting on the curb:(.

Wished I never discovered illegal substances "cannabis" being the worst of the lot, at the tender age of 17. I lost myself for a long time and I am still paying the price with extreme anxiety.

Having better social skills and not holding such huge grudges towards individuals, but they are the human form of cancer so what you gonna do.

should have learned to drive in my teens and shouldn't of left it this late, just started doing my mock tests now at 27 \o/.
 
If we are talking "go back and change something" then it would be to go back and tell me at 11 years old to put some effort in at school. I'm not doing too bad now (25, 3 bed semi, wife, etc) but if i'd bothered i'd love to see what would have changed.

If it's just general changing, it would be my pathological shyness. Not having a particularly close family (outside of my parents and brother) meant that I didn't "do" social gatherings of more than like 6 people until I met the wife, with regular gatherings of 20+ you have no choice but to get better at it! Primary school was ok but I really struggled to make friends at secondary school and got really very easily entrenched in MMO gaming (8-18 hours a day depending on the day of the week) which only compounded the issue. Once out of school and in a job I became a lot better, ditched the MMOs got a girl etc etc. So yeh, fix my shyness as a kid and put an effort in as a kid.

Faulse hopes and dreams... Don't like to live by the standard.

Mind you, every crazy idea I have had so far has been possible... Next one is a little tough though but possible!

Although, getting a Desmosedici RR in less than 5 years could be a toughie as well.
