Friendlier Me?

unspeakablehorrorI want to be a friendlier person than I am but a lot of my personality gets in the way of that. I also think that while some of my attitudes do, hmmmmm, cause problems, they have also been instrumental to improving my quality of life.
For example, I kind of think I have a bit of an arrogance problem. On the other hand, I don't suffer from certain kinds of insecurity that seem fairly common. And while one of these things doesn't necessarily entail the other (a person can certainly be both arrogant and insecure, or humble and secure), I feel that in my case the source of both these things is the same. So it's not as simple as saying either 'This is a problem, I should try to get rid of it' or 'everything's fine, I'm amazing!'
