Ever wish you had a different personality?

I do. I'm usually okay with it, but I sometimes wish I was extroverted/adventurous so my life wasn't so boring and it was worth talking/posting about. I tried to force myself into it years ago, but it never worked. Just felt drained and miserable most of the time.

    Same, I wish I'm more outgoing to people who I'm not familiar with. It's funny cuz I'm like that online but I'm real life, it's so hard. XD

    And it's okay if you can't be extroverted. Introverts are meant to feel drained when they have to socialize and feel more refreshed after having some alone time. Just like how extroverts will feel drained and bored if they can't talk either but feel energized when they get to talk. People are just wired differently.

    One thing I wish I could change is the fact that I get angry quite easily but I'm not good at expressing it, so I end up being passive aggressive.

    But of course, I do have the perfectionist trait after all ;)

    But seriously, I wish I could be more outgoing, and less moody and reactive. I wish I didn't overthink things so often, and that I weren't so insecure. Self love is a process ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I wish I wasn't so shy and actually took the effort to communicate and hang out with friends. I also tend to occasionally stutter and mumble my words when I talk and I'm not that good at sustaining a conversation unless it's something I hold a lot of interest in.

    I guess in a way, it would be nice to be able to talk to people in real life without panicking, feeling completely awkward and not knowing what to say. Sometimes it's hard for me to talk online too.

    Same here, I'm very easily angered and it's hard for me to keep my mouth shut, lol. My personality is conflicting because I'm really shy but if you anger me, you'll know about it.

    I can definitely relate. As an INFJ I often feel like the odd one out around others. I often wish I was more extroverted and carefree, but I am what I am. I could do with a lot more self-confidence too, but hopefully that will come with time and experience.

    Nope, can't say that I do. I am completely fine being an introvert; introversion itself isn't inherently boring. There are many interesting things you can do by yourself or with one or two close friends or family. You can hike, bike, swim, draw, write, a story, knit, cook, collect something, or otherwise be passionate and knowledgeable about something, such as your favorite animal or the history of fashion. I've even managed to hold conversations with people who have no interest in computer games whatsoever about elements of the Sims. It might be helpful to try reframing your interests in a more positive light.

    You could teach yourself and make it a hobby. I learned to draw using YouTube.

    Why couldn't I just straight out be somebody else... :joy:

    I've learned to love who I am; quirks, weirdness, and all... but I have wished I had a different personality before. I used to be a loner and always isolate myself. I used to be an introvert and wanted nothing to do with people outside of my inner circle. Then one day I took time to think and I took a long hard look in the mirror and realized that nobody said I HAVE to stay isolated and to myself. I gained confidence after telling myself that and soon I made new friends (six to be exact), I can walk up to a stranger no problem, I can speak my mind, and I'm still me. I just adjusted myself into someone better and more outgoing.

    Nah...I'm pretty cool xD

    Although I can recognise that I can be very awkward while socialising, but that's just because I'm weird.

    I think, in the end, you cannot change who you really are. I used to have a hard time accepting that, because media really emphasizes extroversion over introversion, and I wished I was more of an extrovert.

    I never became an extrovert, but I've been able to become more *extroverted* by working on charisma and generally becoming more comfortable with public speaking and speaking to strangers. It does make life more interesting than it used to be, and I would recommend "skilling charisma" if any introverts want to become a little more extroverted.

    Still, accepting that I am an introvert means I can truly rejoice in the limited free time I have to myself and my Sims :)

    I kinda wish I was more rude (also really? The word that rhymes with irk is banned?) . For some reason I become friends with people too easy and I'm not one to keep in touch.
    Oh and I wish I was less paranoid

    For me it's insecurity. I have an eating disorder and I feel like if I wasn't as insecure I wouldn't have one. Yeah it's basically my personality.
  • Hak_vinHak_vin Posts: 32 Member
    Oh most definitely, I feel like my current personality can be taken in the wrong way when meeting or interacting with people. I've been told I come off as scary because I'm very quiet and keep to myself. When in reality I want to make many friends lol (although sometimes I do want alone time).

    I do wish I was more open to trying new things that I deem to be scary and I wish I wasn't so paranoid of everything.

    I wish I could embrace my core personality more often. Right now it's layered with insecurity, mental illness… You know, unpleasant things that cover up the real deal. But I'm working on it, and it's getting better. :)
