I hate the way I look. I hate the way I sound. I hate the stupid things I do. I hate how awkward I am. Just, all of it. If I could be born as another person, I would in a heartbeat. Seriously.

On a side note, I've asked other people about being born as someone else and I get mixed responses. I guess this is a good place to test it again.

@popmol, that's a difficult question. It's a combination of things. I don't like my appearance because I hate the way my features come together. Oddly shaped head, big lopsided lips, small beady eyes, big nose, etc. But I've considered surgery and all that and rejected the idea because I had a feeling I'd still be unhappy with myself. I hate how difficult it is for me to socialize. I'm not nervous, but I always say weird things and berate myself for them later. I hate the metaphorical "Pick On Me" sign that must be stapled to my forehead. It's gotten me unbelievable amounts of grief growing up and ridicuole and a lack of people taking me seriously as I move into my adult life.

There's something deep down that I have yet to grasp, and so I have no proper explanation. It's just a feeling of deep-rooted self-loathing that's come from within.
