sometimes it feels like i'm so drawn into my head that I'm not quite sure what's the real problem. i keep thinking it's me. like i need to do something about myself. but outwardly i don't think people think i need to work on anything that much. i'm liked, for sure. i just don't get it why i think there's something wrong with me.

what's the problem? i just think I think i'm never good enough. whatever I do isn't good enough. i'm always trying to be good enough. and i am, but im never satisfied. i always want to be better, and it's such an obsession i kick the living **** out of myself.

i'm beginning to feel like a lot of my efforts to improve my well-being are misguided. in the sense that I want to be a better and more complete person right away. i don't think I've learned how to expand my efforts to work at my well-being for the long-term. i think i need a new approach...

you guys gots anything for me?

I think it takes time, patience, practice and self-awareness to change anything about ourselves. You have the self-awareness. It is impossible to be perfect. We can keep striving to be "better" but at some point our little flaws have to be accepted. They don't make us bad people.

There is much to be hopeful about because you are showing your considerable insight. And let me add that while it is always nice to try to improve one's skills and talents, you are inherently good enough by virtue of being the unique individual you are. I'm not sure where or when people lost the idea that they are wonderful creations as is, but you are, you are! If you really feel a need to exercise your talent for improving things, you might consider taking up a cause you feel is important and volunteering your efforts. It will make you feel better and you will be accomplishing something.
