Myself..
I often realize things about myself that are NOT good, but prove that there is hope for me yet. I can separate my flaws into that which I can work myself, that which can be worked on with others' help, and that which I cannot:
The former: I am selfish, immature, have a difficult time hiding facts and emotions, and subconsciously LOOK FOR REASONS to become angry at those I love (in increasing amounts for the ones I love more). These can all be worked out, I feel, with self-discipline. I'll see what comes of it...
The middle: I have NO IDEA what to do about relationships. I don't know how to get in one, expressing how I feel in an acceptable way, how to come across as attractive in ANY way, when to make a move, how to pick up signals. I know nothing. I believe that knowing how these things work will help me with other problems.
The latter: I am insecure, paranoid, confused, and unhappy. These will be worked out when a number of the other two types of problems are worked out.
