Alright NT we all have insecurities, many of which we aren't willing to admit or say aloud. I'm going to use NT as a place to air my issues:
1. I'm losing my hair. It bothers me more than I'd like to admit
2. I'm an awful procrastinator. One of the worst I know of. I know a deadline is coming or a project is due and I still won't work on it until the last minute.
3. I feel like I'm lazy. I'm doing well for myself (make just over $100k, no debt, degree, etc.) but I always feel like I should be doing more. Whenever I'm just chillin, I think 'I should be studying for the GRE' or some other type of self-improvement task. Maybe its the social media world we live in where I can see what everyone else is accomplishing in their lives.
4. I’m overly materialistic. I care too much about shoes, clothes, etc. Sometimes I can’t even go to the grocery store without putting a matching outfit on. It annoys me that I’m this way sometimes. I kind of envy those people who stroll out the house wearing whatever. I think this stems from me caring too much about what some other people think or me. Growing up as one of the few black people around a lot of whites I felt as though I had to act (or dress) a certain way or portray a certain image to I wouldn’t be viewed as ‘one of those black people.’ I realize that mindset is all BS now but I that that is where my materialistic tendencies come from.
5. I’m very risk adverse when it comes to finances. I’m more of a 401k guy than a put-half-my-money-into-a-side-hustle type of guy. I admire those who take risks like that. It just ain’t me.
6. I’m think I’m a slow reader. Tests with reading comprehension portions like the GRE, LSAT scare me because I read slowly. This is more of just a self-improvement thing
7. I tend to be timid sometimes. I want to be more decisive.
8. With all that being said…I think I’m hard on myself. I’m doing pretty well for a guy my age and I should be proud and somewhat content but I never am. My parents are African and if you know African parents I don’t need to say another word.
