if you were perfect..

Well normally I'd rehash the old "I am perfect because I'm me blah blah" but I know that's not what I feel, but rather what I feel I should be feeling about this question.

But don't.

K let's get down to serious business.
Lose 30 pounds is the first thing that comes to mind.

Be that person that does all the socially confident things that even other people would bawk at. Going on random adventures. Talking to every stranger you sit or stand next to, or sitting next to a cute girl and actually starting a conversation, or going out to every group/social setting and actually engaging people and bonding like I know is possible.

I'd be in college, and doing it with the ease of being switched-onto my extravert side (only thing that stops me from graduating highschool is the social atmosphere).

And lastly I'd keep up a really high energy and concentration level, so that I could be totally engaged and feel myself each moment... So good health pattern /exercise/eating/

Would have a job, and feel part of the atmosphere and group, not like it's a hellish place to be with social aliens o_o

i am perfect the way i am

if i were any different, i wouldn't be me

of course coyote.

You are. everybody is.

All though, a lot of people with a low self esteem

are missing some part within their selves

and i would like to know what that is

and why they think it makes them more perfect

and if they can achieve it, and how and why not and why you can

:D

Same, except I am not perfect the way I am. But if I added any positive traits, it wouldn´t be me anymore but someone else o.o.

Dreams..
I would travel around the world as much as possible, and live in close contact to nature.
 
First off, I'd have to have a body that wasn't always betraying me. I don't even care about being beautiful or even pretty. I just want to feel 31 instead of 80. Be healthy and happy. I'd be able to play with my kids without a hip or shoulder popping out of socket. Maybe go a month or two, foot even a day, without a headache, migraine, neck, or back pain. I wouldn't be having hot and cold flashes and painful breakouts all the time, and I certainly wouldn't be dealing with an ulser and going deaf.

I just want to feel like a typical 31-year-old. The occasional ache or early morning stiffness, fine. Needing reading glasses, who cares? Just normal.

Maybe then I'd have enough energy to keep up with everything: housework, homeschooling my children, running my business, gardening, crafting, and writing without stressing myself out.

I am who I am, and that is the only way I would want it to be. I don't believe in regrets, I do not believe that the grass is always greener on the other side. Sure, I would like to be rich, to have a signifiant other and to be famous, though that's not you. You are not those things, you are what's inside of you. No wealth, fame or other being can define your true self, only you can. In that regard, I, as well as everyone else here, is perfect in every way, you only have to realize it to move forward. *hugs*

If I were perfect, I will almost be the opposite of what I am right now. I won't have all those emotional baggage I'm carrying now.

This. Also I wish I had a talent for either drawing or could play the piano. I envy those people sometimes.

I'd be 125lbs, I'd have tons of acquaintances and a tight group of friends, like the err, cast of one of those shiny-happy aspirational tv shows. I'd lecture in comparative literature and a part-time photographer.

This would be me too, if I were my idea of perfect. I'd also be confident in my abilities and knowledge and not afraid to do everything.

I've thought about it and I don't think I'd want to be perfect... these imperfections and flaws are what keep me learning about how to improve. If I was perfect (better verbally, less anxious etc) I don't think I'd appreciate life in the way I do. I think I'd take everything for granted and decrease in strength because there'd be less of a battle for me to fight.

Of course I work on improving myself but... to be perfect? Nobody is. It's impossible.

The little flaws and imperfections are what make us all different and unique. And isn't it the unique qualities that someone has which draws us to them? So you could say that our imperfections are actually what make us more attractive.

I really love posts like this.
Also, better verbally? Seriously, even better? :D

Perfection doesn't exist anyway, of course there are things I try to do and many more I have yet to start doing to be be better person, but the idea of perfection is just a huge and unnecessary burden for anyone who wants to reach it.

I don't think I'll ever be perfect but I think things might be much better for me if I had better social skills.

If all of my personal issues went away today, I'm going to have some more to deal with right away. I can't even fathom this idea, not in this world. No matter what one does they are going to have to deal with something, one can get better, but people are still effected by things they can't control. Perfection is like asking one to flap their arms and fly away like a bird.

Even if the world didn't have the problems it did, I believe we would still be imperfect unless the idea of "perfect" changed. Not only we are effected by human issues, but the universe and our environment as well. To me, I'm trying to imagine how would a human react to natural causes, would there then be no natural cause? Then everything would not be what it is. I can't even see people coexisting with perfections in this universe because it would mean we would have to be higher than to be affected by nothing. I can't even see the universe existing in the way that it does. Well, certain imperfections can be "perfect" to me.........

Of course no one can be perfect, but trying to be the best that you can is all that matters. Of course some of us, like me for instance, have a hard time doing that.

I'm beginning to fear you more and more dottie. ::p:
