Hmm..

I can't respect or learn from a teacher if they aren't a good person,

I'm hard to motivate because I think too big picture and remember we're all going to die anyway a lot,

I'm in poor physical shape because I was only medically cleared for ANY exercise about two years ago and I have very little idea how to work out regularly, and I beat myself up every time I go to the gym for not being instantly good at physical activity,

I over think every little interaction with women I have a romantic interest in because I'm insecure, having been 'the chubby kid' growing up, and what's worse, I was the chubby Smart! kid.

I have a hard time taking anyone who develops an attraction or like of me seriously because "I wouldn't want to be a member of any club that would accept a person like me."

I have a hard time accepting help when I'm struggling because I'm a first born perfect child, and everything should come as easily to me as breathing,

I can't stay organized to save my life, but I'm great at designing organizational paradigms that people can instantly, and intuitively use with ease,

And I can't feel good about anything I've accomplished because I should be working on the next thing, or I didn't do it 100% right damn it.
