and remove the expectations of people who know you, start with a clean slate,
Would you make yourself more… ?

I would be more able to fly or become invisible. One of the two.

I'd be more outgoing, alot more outgoing

I've dug myself into this stupid "shy and sweet" bag and it feels sorta like I'm trapped there.

I would also want to be more athletic

i would be 70% machine, i'd wear a cape and KISS boots, and i would have no emotions.

Why would you kiss boots. Do you have a shoe fetish?

...beefcakier....

thekidsgirl said:

Ha!!! are you ME?

I would be more assertive
much LOUDER - I would somehow get myself a way louder voice, people at parties can't hear me
dress to suit my figure instead of loose things to hide it
be comfortable with attention and being in the centre of it
I would smile more and scowl less

All of yours could apply to me as well!

We need to form a support group

I would sail more...

I'd be more independent. I wish I'd left home at an earlier age.

"...mahhhh....can you get me some WeightGain4000??"

I guess I would need to get rid of my own expactations too. But I'd love to reinvent myself and be different from who I am.

I've never understood what prevents people from "reinventing" themselves and realizing who they want to be. Why the self-imposed limitations?

I'd be more assertive and care less about what a few people (my family ) think of me and the things that I do.

I'm very self-conscious, and I would feel very strange to one day act totally differently in front of people who have known me to be one way for 25 years. I feel I can easily do it with new friends. For example my workmates couldn't believe my schoolmates would call me shy and quiet - in my work environment, I was able to be loud and forthcoming, and they wouldn't comment on it.

SCNDLS said:

To some that I know quite well, constant reinvention gives the impression of one being a total flake....unable to figure themselves out...and its rare that folks get to reinvent themselves the way they truly want to be, out of fear of those limitations....

ZombieKitten said:

I really don't think I have a problem with the expectations of people who know me. That's certainly not something that holds me back from anything. I think I know a lot of great people, maybe.

There are certainly things I'd change about myself. Not so shy, not so fat, maybe a bit more ambition.

But I don't need a reinvention.

thekidsgirl said:

Can I join your support group? I need to be more assertive and outgoing too.

ZombieKitten said:

I wouldn't say that it would make sense to suddenly behave differently, that sounds wacky and fake. Real, positive change takes time, work, and analysis. However, if there's something that you want to change, improve, or evolve into because YOU think this is truer to your real self or nature why would you care how that is perceived by others???

SCNDLS said:

that is one of the things I would really like to change

ZombieKitten said:

That might be a good place to start.

SCNDLS said:

When I started this thread, I did actually mean a sudden overnight transformation, like Madonna

ZombieKitten said:

I say just do it!

ZombieKitten said:

Martina and I are going to switch heights over night

I can relate with all of this.

I would be better at showing my emotions. When someone else is in a foul mood, it's just them having a bad day. When I am in a bad mood, it's me being a bitch and it's because I tend to only let people see the "positive" side of me. So when the negative side comes out it is judged 10 times more than other people, or at least that's the way it feels.

I hope for you you are not talking about the other Martina (IrresistibleB1tch) because she probably is even taller than you are . And she loves it .
