This is more of a ramble than asking for help or anything. I am well aware of my flaws and how to probably make up for them... ._.;
If you know me somewhat, you know I tend to procrastinate or give up on projects I do. This is one of my most severe problems, as it affects me in things I really need to do. Like say, get a driver's license. I've been like "Ok this weekend, I'ma practice driving." Then something comes up or the day doesn't flow how I plan and I never mention it.
I tend to make goals but am never able to actually get around to doing them when something happens, like a small family issue or something. I mean, I need to progress, but I have no get up and go for it. I feel my younger years of being spoiled hasn't helped either.
I've always felt the need to pay my parents back when I get a job for all they've done for me, but with my anti-social ways, it's hard for me to really want to get a job, and anything past high school costs serious money.
I know I need to buck up and do things seriously, but I tend to get intimidated somewhat. This weekend I plan to try and step towards my goals once again. Hopefully nothing will cause me to disregard trying once again. I really don't want to stay 'immature' or 'insecure' all my life.

Here's a tip, don't tell people about your problems. I'm not trying to sound like an a**, seriously. But if you tell people about an issue, naturally they will try to help, and you being spoiled, in the back of your head you'll think "Why should I do stuff for you?". Because the only way to help somebody is to maybe come up with things to do, or tell them to stop being lazy and just do them.
Basically, if you have your own issues and you don't tell people about them, you'll never have pity. Pity is a crutch spoiled kids use, because it means that no matter what, people will always try to make you feel better, so you'll never have to do anything, and people will still make you feel good about the fact that you didn't try. So, if you sit around and you have a bunch of things you have to do, eventually you'll realize that people aren't caring, and the only way you'll make people care is if you actually do the things they don't expect you to do.
And another thing, blaming your problems on other things, is not fair. Because you're using things that are already bad and making them worse by blaming your inability to do what you need to do on them. But it is easy to do, and it's not like you'll notice you're doing them, because it just happens, and it's not like some issues really give you time to think before they happen.
I seriously hope that came out the way I intended it to sound, and not like a douchebag version of Buzz.

I know, but I tend to have a habit of talking about issues and problems I have. I don't seek pity though. In the long run, I just wonder if people are similar to myself really.
And I'm not really seeking a pat on the back or anything, however it may sound like. I get what you mean though. Maybe I shouldn't have posted my issues, but I feel better people knowing that I do have flaws oddly.
Reason I blamed spoiled-ness is cause my friend that lives near me blames it as well...
And it didn't come off mean. A little blunt but not mean. I just have a habit of rambling about my issues, even though this is the first time I've 'posted' some.

If you can't share your problems sometimes they just explode or implode in you eventually.
I'm kind of like that. Especially lately, I plan to get x amount of things done in a day but get nothing done because something always comes up. ><
Instead of trying to do it all, I'm just going to build up to where I do more and more each day so I'm not as bad a procrastinator. Maybe that approach could work for you too?
Hope you can procrastinate less. ^^

Well, I actually got around to driving today. Was slightly nervous and my mom was a bit paranoid, but said I did fine, even though it was just a country road. Practicing 2 times a week was what she suggested. I might get my license hopefully before my birthday...

The only reason I said what I said is because you remind me of me Roy. It's a good thing, because I respect you enough to not delete everything I think of saying.
I only drove on a road once before I took my drivers test, and that time there was some jerk in a minivan tailgating me, so I pulled into some parking lot about 45 seconds later. And I still passed, so yeah, you can do it Roy. I know you can.
