Flawed ideal self

[Theresaisnotmenhera]

The original post I assumed was a bit too personal and lengthy, so I will keep it short here. If you have ever had the chance to relive your ideal self in your ideal scenario, what flaws from your current self or situation would you choose to retain? Would you invent new flaws or eliminate any regardless? And why?

The scope of 'flaw' here is broad and, as such, open to your interpretation. The same can be said about 'scenario'—it' could mean as fantastical as being a princess in a magic kingdom (but you have an annoying sister who is mean) or a relatively normal career life of a professional creative in the 21st century (but grew up in a less financially stable household).

I mean, I'd keep all the fucked up bits of my mind, the anxiety and autism and stuff, (though maybe at the state when my anxiety and depression meds are working the best) because that's all part of who I am fundamentally, shaped me, and the related problems are something I need to overcome myself, that I HAVE been working on and HAVE made significant progress on.

In my fantasies involving versions of my ideal self, I used to always involve trauma in some way (princess who barely escaped the slaughter of her kingdom, escaped kidnapping victim, guilt from past evils, rejection/betrayal by everyone once knew), but I've come to realize that was me searching for a way to justify how I've felt, give it a simple knowable 'cause' that felt valid. I don't think that's necessary anymore as I've come to greater understanding with myself and my past. And if I ACTUALLY went through any of that I might break XD

Hrmmm... tough because I don't think of myself as having flaws. Not trying to be narcissistic but I'm pretty content with all my weird little traits. I'd probably go with my height as lots of people think that's a flaw.

Wouldn't change myself to be any taller, even if I do get mistaken for a child on occasion.

And I honestly have no clue what an ideal scenario would be. Maybe being bonded to a Dragon on Pern in the era before the writer tried to explain everything.

The ideal self is a broad subject. Does having an ideal self necessitate an ideal reality? For example ideally I would be king, ideally I would live in a classless society, and/or ideally I would be able to manipulate reality itself.

Nonetheless ideally I would keep my medical conditions but dull their severity, I would be wealthy enough to not have to work ever again, and would not live in the US.

I don't like this, like I like myself and if there is something I don't like I will Work Towards Fixing it, How about if you Had to Chose to go to another World What world realm would you go to, Like a More Modern Monster Hunter world. Anime.

Why would you want to relive the moments which had happened only because of your flaws in the first place?

I never wanted to go back to change a one little thing, hoping it would somehow solve everything.
