    #1 is definitely discipline/focus. I'm always procrastinating, or my mind is wandering off, or something along those lines is happening.

    Is it possible to obtain this? Well, yeah, I just have to remove as many distractions as possible and remind myself to focus. Sadly I don't do either of those particularly well. :dry:

    In your basement, under the steps.
    That's something I lack too. Something that I find helps is just some simple music (no vocals or exciting/interesting beats) white noise such as static, a recording of Darth Vader breathing, rain with soft and quiet thunder, or any other sort of calming, constant sound. Use that while you're working.
    Also, having an desk plant helps you concentrate, for some reason. It works for lots of people.

    Anyway, the main thing I lack is social skills.
    Really, I hate people and socializing, but I would like to be able to talk to someone I actually DO like without making a fool of myself.

    Also, I'm not good with shopping. Finding cheap and good things, that I can do, but paying for it, even if I have the money, seems to be incredibly difficult, especially with cards.

    Confidence which leads to most of my other problems. I'm so afraid of failing at something I don't give anything a try, its affected me a lot through life. This is probably why I'll be lonely forever amongst a lot of other things

    I have changed my life style and mind set as I have gotten older and moved to the farm. I find I lack nothing but desire much. :slight_smile:

    A man.

    I am positive that I've used this response to one of Kaiser's many threads before, but wouldn't you know? It is still applicable....

    Thick skin-I have been through a lot in my life. It has worn me down. I am very sensitive to emotions, those of others as well as my own. It is part of who I am. Words hurt me. This is moreso with people in real life than on a message board.

    Confidence-Based on all I have been through, there has been a lot of trauma.

    Acceptance-I am looked down upon for being Christian in the LGBT world. On the other hand, it has been just as difficult being bi in the Christian world. I wonder what the rate of LGBT suicide is among those who consider themselves Christians. Probably high.

    I'm lacking in patience, fear, wisdom, sensitivity, self-compassion, compassion for my enemies, and sanity. I'm working on what I can.

    And I almost always snap when somebody attacks my overwhelming insecurity about my mental health, morality, or gender. So I'm lacking in ability to control my anger. Hell, sometimes I say mean things just because I'm tired and I need to cut that out. I've even shouted at inanimate objects. It's awkward when people think you were aiming it at them!

    I'm told that I'm lacking in spiritual health. I can't take it seriously though. And I'm definitely lacking in that 'freedom from desire' stuff, but I personally think it's good to crave some fun in life.

    I lack a penis. :newcolor:
    Also, I tend to lack self-esteem, I'm working on that though. Another thing is communication skills, but primarily verbal.

    On a more pathetic note, I've come to feel I lack friends.

    I lack patience with myself which has led to a number of other issues.
    I lack clear communication with my parents as well.
    Those are both things that I can improve on with time, my therapist, LGBT support groups, and close friends. I just have to keep working on it day by day. :slight_smile:

    There are multiple things I lack. And I have been working on attaining them. So, hopefully, they are attainable.

    Confidence. Self Esteem. Social skills. A full time job. Money. Clear goals. A body that I am comfortable with. Friends. Happiness.

    And lastly, hope that I am capable of attaining these things. I find that this tends to come and go. Sometimes I have a lot of it, sometimes I have absolutely none. Right now? It is in the process of fading away...

    Many things. I'll try to list.

    -Money
    -Patience
    -Self esteem
    -Half of my teeth (I wish I was joking, thanks bulimia)
    -Friends
    -A social life
    -Mental health
    -Energy
    -The ability to relax

    Therapy and medication will certainly help with some of it, though I also lack a a therapist at the moment. xD
    Money. . .never know how that's going to work out. My grandmother is 80 years old and still working her ass off for barely enough to survive on.

    Self-esteem, confidence, and courage, particularly in social situations.

    I lack patience/restraint.

    I'm always going headfirst into arguments, conversations...etc
    Is it possible for me to attain this? Well, hopefully. It would benefit me greatly and those around me.
