And here I thought this'd be an easy one... well, let's see...

1. Since I'm unemployed at the moment, I'd like a well paid, permanent job.
2. I would like to learn to speak and write Japanese.
3. Becoming better at cooking certainly wouldn't hurt.

I'm not sure if number 1 belongs to a list like this or if you were looking for other kind of things, but at the moment it's my top priority in life, so... Oh and of course I'm already working on all three, but I wouldn't mind a short cut. :wink:

1) become content and satisfied with how I look.
2) become more trusting and confident in my own self and abilities.
3) stop giving into fear and taking more risks, despite the possible rejection/failure.

1. Nothing.
2. Absolutely nothing.
3. See #1 and #2.

I know it takes time and effort to accept yourself as you are, but trust me, it's way more worth it than simply wishing you were different.

I only wish I was more confident. I have misunderstood social situations on so many occasions that I am anxious around people.

I totally messed something up last year because my old panic came up and I couldn't admit that I didn't know what to do. I didn't understand the group dynamic and that affected my relationship with this one guy. I even told a white lie to him to get out of explaining why I had done something. I should have just admitted I was confused. I feel like he lost trust on me and because of what I did he felt I didn't really have feelings for him.

Social dynamics confuse me. But I'm not confident enough to brush it off. I really like him. I don't really want anyone else, but i have to move on and try and meet someone else.

I wish I was more easy to associate with. More compatible with other people.

I wish I was rich so I could get a person to U.S. Rich enough to start my own university strictly for people with autism.

I wish I had a female I could share my feelings with... So I don't have to go it alone anymore.

1. Not depend on strangers for advice. Especially if they are not a psychitrest, doctor, or therapist.
2. Get a reality check on myself, and don't let people give it to me unless they know me, or unless I work for them.
3. Accept myself without needing other people to do so.

I wish I had a middle ground and was able to vent anger properly instead of saying nothing or literally ripping someone's head off. Didn't hate other women so much - stems from a LOT of relational aggression directed at me even up to today. I wish I were more intelligent mathematically.

Asking too much. Everybody gets their own deck of cards. You can't have everything.
