What is one thing you have tried to change, but couldn't?
Being less emotional about my thoughts and feelings when I open up about my vulnerabilities. I keep getting told that I'm a child when I lose my cool by family members, but never heard that from friends.
It's hard, being emotional and not showing it has always been a defence mechanism, but when you can't control it and people make you feel small for it... it breaks you even further. I used to wonder why no one around me was like that, why I was so different and even cried lots at sad lyrics, novels and movies and when I saw someone else cry too. Turns out, there's something called a highly sensitive person that makes up 20% of the population and it has something to do with a highly active central nervous system that reacts differently to stimuli, emotions and experiences. Learning about that, made me realize that I shouldn't put so much energy into trying to change it anymore (which was exhausting and always failed and ended up making me feel unloved and unaccepted for who I really was) but now i'm on the road to finally accepting that part of me, and all the other things that come with it. I've always felt different, and learning about the highly sensitive person has given me the validation I always needed and I finally have a reason as to why I am the way I am, and have grown and become a bit stronger and more understanding of my self and my reactions.

I have tried to stay away from desserts 😄 but it’s a habit that I can’t break because I’m a foodie person. 😄😋

I try to be better with my time management but still kind of suck
My compassion. I have been taken advantage of by many; some act as my friends for a very long time, until I have outlived my usefulness and they decide it is time to stab me in the back. I usually see this coming, yet I still choose to stay with them in the off-chance I can actually change them for the better.
Nowadays, I have tried to throw such people under the bus for my own gain—and I have succeeded in most cases, reducing much of my stress—but there are some people I still cannot bring myself to cut loose from.

My mumbling problem. I used to be able to speak clearly when I was younger. But now I have to try extra hard to enunciate my words. I don't know what happened.
My theory is that my face grew a certain way that makes it more difficult to move my tongue, but I haven't looked to much I to it because people can most of the time understand me.

My body shape, however, I might have found the one thing that might do it, the Ketogenic diet and fitness program. But it's non negotiable that I have to see my nutritionist first to get it approved.
