I really struggle to answer this even though I have this constant feeling of something being wrong. I've been quite lucky with genetics and the things I've wanted to change that can be changed I pretty much already have.

I guess there are two things I'd like to even further improve on:

  • I'd like to care less. I like myself the least when I get emotionally captured. I'd like to just be able to let it go and be teflon where nothing sticks.
  • I'd like to naturally want to read more.

I wish I didn't have an addictive personality. I just wanna be a casual heroin user, is that too much to ask for? I don't want to sell my mom's TV for another hit rather have a job and pay for my own scores. Ya know responsibly

A really old book, how to win friends and influence people, can teach you this.

Someone made an offhand comment that I would be an otter if only I were more laid back.

And honestly, that made me kinda wish I could be more relaxed and chill. Everything just seems to important and stressful and difficult and intense to me... I wish I could just turn that all off and just let things happen to me as they come rather than fearing and planning for the future.

I wish to know, what free will even is, and how it could be possible.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I seen a lot of people have this particular question and the question that I have for them is what isn't free will?

On the religious side you've got the people who are saying God knows everything so he already knows what you're going to do. On the science side you've got all humans are just chemicals in a hot dog casing.

My opinion is, either which way you look at it you are free to choose what you want to do.

Just because somebody can make you question the freedom of your choices does not mean that your choices are not born of free will.

If someone was asked to describe me in a single word, I wish their response would be “kind.”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I wish i was genuinely kind. Faking it is exhausting, and confusing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish my relationship wasn't so very, very, very, very bad. And I wish I could be independent financially and not trapped as I am.

You honestly have no idea how bad it can get. Don't ignore red flags.
