Default "I'm my own worst enemy, it's bad when you annoy yourself"

Do any of you ever annoy yourself and get frustrated with things about yourself? I do all the time. There are loadsa things I dislike about me, like (to name but a few) my appearance, my "popularity", the fact that I dislike things about myself, I talk too much and it's always about the same things. Does anyone else have any pet-hates about themselves?

Wink my real name's Marvin.

Not so much annoyed as permanently depressed. And then the things about myself that annoy me make me depressed, and the the fact that I've depressed my self annoys me and that depresses me and oh god it's so depressing, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper........

Talking GAWD YEAH!!!!!

I am always saying, "Gawd I get on my own nerves sometimes!!!"

Now at school I did very well, learning came very easy to me and I didn't have to try too hard to get good grades!!! I went on to technical college and did well there too - passed with honours - top of my class!!!

Where's the problem then - well when it comes to being quick on the uptake - I'M NOT!!!! Make some sort of ironic remark and I'm about six months behind you, I get sayings mixed up - you know the ones - water off a duck's back and stuff like that - I would probably say water off a chicken's back!!!! I mean please, I'm not stupid but sometimes I must seem so dim!!! I really, really, hate that about myself!!!

I get annoyed with myself when I get depressed over stupid/silly things...such as boys.

Boys are stupid...and yet I still want them to like me.

I can't think of much that I hate about myself. All except that I can't make friends to easily. It's not that they wouldn't like me, it's just that I don't think they will.

I used to feel this way all the time and I used to get depressed easily as well. I believe this will change for most of you as you get older. I started to get out of these moods when I reached my mid-twenties. I think the main reason is because most ppl are a little self-conscious when they get older. You guys keep your heads up and be proud of who you are and you will be just fine. It may take a while but show the world that it will never beat you down.

I am willing to bet that if we all had the time to meet that I would like you guys just fine and I think other ppl would feel just the same way as I do.

Don't be down, find some way to express yourselves in a positive manner. I only know many of you from your posts but I do know you are some very talented and passionate folks.

I have to trust your intellect, you play Tomb Raider! "Nuff said?

People are never happy with themselves (except the truly vain, and they are secretly in denial).

Its what keeps us striving each day to better ourselves and the conditions around us.

But whatever we have, we will be unhappy with.
Blondes want to be brunette, brunettes want to be blonde....people with straight hair want curly wavy hair, and vise versa.

I think the best thing I can suggest is to turn 30 years of age.

I calmed waaaaaaaaaaaaay down as soon as I did that.... and became the loving, cheery but chilled individual you "see" before you today.

Sometimes you have to lower your expectations for friends. Then, possibly, you could work your way up to the ones that you want to know.

BTW I figured how I annoy myself. I always assume things without hearing the full story.

It's more annoyed at myself for doing dumb things.......like running into a door, or a wall, or tripping on absolutely nothing........ Don't ask how I managed, I just do! lol

Or making really dumb mistakes on a test, or at an audition (don't even get me started about my audition yesterday, I'm ready to scream!!!) I think that's more though because I tend to be a perfectionist at times, so if it's not perfect, then it's crap to me.

Do you also happen to go by the name of The High Comander or Professor D. Solomon, perchance?

Man, this is a depressing thread. I think cowboy from hell and DaveJ said it perfectly. When you get older you realise the person you are gonna spend the most time with....... in fact all your time with is you, so it's probably best if you try and get on with yourself.

To quote Judy Garland:

"Always be a first rate version of yourself, and not a second rate version of someone else".

try and remember you're all individuals,
