If you could change one thing about yourself permanently, what would it be?

Asked by Male (1353 points ) February 3rd, 2012

Whether for better or for worse, you have the power to change one thing about yourself physically, mentally, or spiritually. Be it a trait, characteristic, physical aspect, habit, personality, mental, emotional, or even a regret… (approaching your past crush rather than missing the chance?)

What would you change, and how would it affect your life?

I would get rid of certain moles I hate. One down, more to go.

I would give myself better physical balance. I’m tired of bumping into things, Permanent good balance would be a good thing. I could run down stairs instead of walking. I wouldn’t knock things off the table. I would be able to go back to dancing.

Male's avatar

@AnonymousGirl You can get rid of all of them. =]

@Sunny2 Hmm….is it a physical condition or just poor balance in general?

I wish I was taller, so I could get more women.

Oh, this is SO EASY! I’d change my metabolism so I didn’t have to run 3 miles a day and live on a diet that would starve a rabbit to maintain a nice bod. If a genie popped out of a magic lamp today, forget fame and fortune, just let me fucking EAT without gaining weight! lol

I would get rid of my asthma. Then i could exercise without wheezing after fifteen minutes.

I would have my penis shortened.

i’m tired of getting it stuck in my shoe.

6rant6's avatar

I would be 39.

I’d be taller so I could reach stuff.

I’m 5’ 6” and it drives me crazy. I’d increase my height to 6’ 0”, preferably.

HungryGuy's avatar

I’d change my DNA so that I would stop aging.

I would have two dicks. Yep. I know to read this it just does not sound all that classy but just imagine…Two penises.

Blondesjon's avatar

@judochop . . . You are aware that two dicks is kinda gay, you know, ‘cuz they’re touching each other.

King_Pariah's avatar

Get rid of emotions, they’re really starting to get on my bad side.

HungryGuy's avatar

You Vulcan, you ^

judochop's avatar

@Blondesjon I never said I was straight. :)

Bellatrix's avatar

I would like to be able to manage my weight more easily. Constant battle. A fast metabolism would be so good.

EverRose11's avatar

I wish I cold be humble more often, I still get a lttle huffy with an air about me and that bothers me so much. I am working n this.

AshLeigh's avatar

I like myself the way I am. :)
But if I had to pick something, I would make me hair a lot longer. Hah. But I’m working on it!

SavoirFaire's avatar

It would be nice to rid myself of this crushing ignorance I’ve got. That’s life as a human, though, so maybe I’d go for @Coloma‘s metabolism cure. Sounds pretty sweet.

Keep_on_running's avatar

My expectations. Realising my anticipation is always better than the event, I don’t think is supposed to be a good thing.

fizzbanger's avatar

I would like a set of balls (metaphorically). Total wuss when it comes to confrontations and speaking in front of others.

ZEPHYRA's avatar

Get rid of a negative mindset that has kept me behind in almost every field of life.

Blondesjon's avatar

@judochop . . . i know. i’ve just always wanted to use that line . . .

Neizvestnaya's avatar

My temper. It’s gotten better as I’ve pushed aside a lot of idealism I once held but I still feel I get irritated too quickly. Patience and a calm demeaner are assets in the workplace and I’ve made blunders there before that cost me dearly.

augustlan's avatar

Easy. I wouldn’t have Fibromyalgia. Living without constant pain would be sweet.

cookieman's avatar

Let’s see, I have a couple choices…
• no more diabetes
• longer fuse, less temper

Hmmm, I vote for longer fuse, less temper. I’d like to be more zen-like and calm. I’m way to passionate about way too many things. I definitely sweat the small stuff. It drives my wife and daughter insane. So, for their happiness, I choose this.

MilkyWay's avatar

I would change a past event and ‘undo’ my first kiss. It was horrible.

AshLeigh's avatar

^^ Second that.

lonelydragon's avatar

I would like better conversational skills. I’m not much of a talker, which is kind of a handicap for a female…can’t hide behind the persona of the “strong silent type” the way men often can.

6rant6's avatar

@lonelydragon Hey, __shy__ is a great persona, too.

Skaggfacemutt's avatar

I would make myself immortal. But not at this age. Would have to go back to somewhere between 18 – 25 to get the full benefit.

lifeflame's avatar

I want a great voice. Singing and speaking.
Heck, I’m not even sure I’m using mine to my full potential, but if there could be a quick fix, I’d like that instantaneously.
