Good question. Lots of interesting answers here.

Physically im not as fit as I’d like. I want to look like a roider but I dont want to roid. My ideal build is the guy in the gas mask leaning on the gate. I’d like to be someone who dresses nice and puts effort into looking good but I’m just not that guy no matter how much I want to be.

Organisation wise I’m significantly behind. I want to on top of everything, having a plan for the next 6 months buying gifts ahead of time, making lunch for work every day. But I’m battling to get the rubbish out each week and missing any event I’m not directly reminded about. I cant plan to save my life I cant even follow cooking instructions.

Mentally im close to where i want to be. I’m generally pretty content which is my biggest problem I don’t feel the need to go do uncomfortable things. People say im smart but they have low/no expertise so its not satisfying they don’t that im far away from where i want to be. One day I’d like to be at the point where someone i lookup to is impressed with my work.

It’s a hard question because i have no idea how others view me. It’s hard for me to understand others. all I can do is put my thoughts in their body and then evaluate myself only using what i know they know. When people speak of me it’s a completely unrecognisable person to me.

I want to be a somewhat competent human. I am not even close to achieving that.

I want to be me, I am me, I’d say it’s going well.

The way I act, is pretty close to how I’d hope anyone would. It has a cost, so I’m willing to just say that, even though it’s a bit of a brag.

The actual impact is still pretty small. I guess I wish I was better at things, so it would matter more.

totally not doing what I intended work wise. meant to do reasearch and teach at the collegiac level and did IT work instead. Love never had really thought about it. I mean thought I might meet someone and have kids. Did meet someone and I think we have about as good a relationship as anyone. No kids and that was definately a decision we made and agree on. Did not think to much about health. Who I am as a person is about where I would want to be excpet I have this obsession with truth and its been much more elusive. I mean to the point of it being kinda tilting at windmills.

I don’t have an end goal.

At my current stage of life I’m trying to have a closer relationship with my nieces and nephews who are entering early adulthood.

My early 20s were probably the hardest period of time in my life, and older adults were particularly critical of me when I looked for guidance. So now I’m trying to be a better listener when they’re struggling.

I want people to say they’ve never heard of me

I wish I had the ultimate super-power. The power to be a physical ghost. The ability to grasp and touch only what I want. Everything else just phases through me incorporeal-like.

Then I go and burn down every single church in the world, and I hunt down every single fascist and billionaire. I kill them slowly screaming on live tv. I declare the world free of Capitalism and vow to return to destroy any who covet money or gods.

Well that’s the dream anyway!

I never wanted to be anything, and I was exceptionally successful at that so far. :/

I care more about accomplishing and learning things. I’m me and as long as I’m not an asshole, I don’t see a reason to try to be someone I’m not.

I am, by nature, a naive and eager person. I am also on the autism spectrum

I have spent my entire life trying to feel included, trying to see the best in people and yearning for friends and good times

I’ve used my weird sense of humor, my hyper spirit, and my childlike energy, at about as late as the age of 23, to try to amuse others. And for a bit maybe I did

But now, I wish to be different. I wish to be reserved, more brooding for a change. I wish I could be less chipper and SpongeBobesque, because it’s done nothing but embarrass or hurt me

I’m turning 25 now, growing out my first beard. It’s been a couple of years since I abruptly stopped acting that way. Life feels dull now, but I still feel like if I can just prove to the world that I’m not weak and childlike, then maybe I can win in some small way

I want to be free from social expectations of who I should be.

I want to be me. I am here. People should describe me carefully.

Strive toward being the pest person possible. It’s a CIP: continuous improvement process.

While having 5 minutes, think about what worked well and how you caused that. If something did bit work out, try finding out why and what you can change, take a bite, try it differently, reassess.

Traveling? Bring a list for packing. Important: at the end of the journey, make a note of the things you didn’t use so you avoid carrying more in the future. Cooking? Weigh out how much salt you use, think whether you like the taste, adjust, take note. Gardening? Take not which plants wen where and when. Take not then have a good long thought in two months to see if everything worked. Especially observe what worked suboptimally and try differently. And so on. Something something madness is doing the same thing over a d over again…

Wise and kind! It’s an eternal WIP but there have definitely been some developments, especially regarding my mental health and ideology/understandings, and overall maturity… I think my neurodivergence, combined with childhood trauma, created some hills I had to climb, and it has also shaped me irreversibly, but I find I have enough free will to make accumulating changes.

My family and friends often come to me either to have a shoulder to cry on or for advice, even my co-workers (some of them are my friends now as well) will open up, expecting what my vibes are selling, I guess, and I always find it endearing (couple of times it’s been shocking and kinda made me panic as in “what do I say here?!” but that’s how it goes sometimes). I think people find me at least reliable and understanding (which does not discount me being weird AF in some areas,sometimes annoying or even, rarely, hurtful, and that’s the whole package), which is not bad already.
