I've often heard it said that the first step to solving a problem is admitting you have a problem. And whether we're young or old, new to the pill or experts, we've all got things we need to work on, whether they're physical things or behavioral habits.

I have no idea whether this sort of thread is active or not, but I thought it would be a good idea as a new RPW to declare my flaws for all to see. All of these are things I will be working on for the next few years, so that I can be at my best when I finally need to attract a good captain.

Here's my list:

  • Low self-esteem: One of my biggest problems that keeps me from achieving my true potential. Years of believing that beauty was a waste and then believing that my brain could overcome my ugliness has left me with such a low view of myself and my abilities, I fear it might stop me from actually doing stuff, because I always feel I can't do it. Something I may need to get psychological help from my mom for.

  • Conversational skills: I'm not the best with people. Put me in front of an animal and I'll become its best friend in a matter of minutes, with humans I'm quiet and silent. I usually don't find a lot of things to talk about, and I think I come off as arrogant to a lot of people. I need to work on my charisma if I want to stop people from seeing my as an asshole.

  • Dealing with issues: A more psychological issue, but still something I need to get over; I have a hard time moving on from things. If I embarrass myself, I remember every moment of it, and I remember all my embarrassing moments. I can't move on and forget about it. Also, I don't confront problems head on. I tend to seethe in anger and I also hold grudges.

  • Stomach flab: I'm at a good weight, and I know I have a good proportional body. My only worry is the flab on my stomach, and I wish to get rid of it because I desire a good and flat stomach.

  • Height: I'm still young, so I think I can grow a bit more if I put in the work. My ideal height would be 5'5 and I'm currently at 5'2. If I can't get a perfect 5'5, then i'll just wear heels everywhere.

So this is my long list of issues shortened to a few points. I'm currently waiting for my major exams to get over so I can start working on this, and I'm also using it as an opportunity to test myself. If I get amazing marks and get into a premier institution, it'll help my self esteem that I can actually do something like this.

Share your lists too, maybe we can give each other some valuable insight to help our lives out as well!
