I used to have a complex about having hair on my chest, until I realized it doesn't matter. It's kind of like when my hair started thinning, I was like O GOD. Again, you realize nobody cares as much as you do. Lastly, my height is the one thing I'd really change. I'm like 5'7. It doesn't matter as much as people say it does... in terms of social interaction, but I'd like to be about 6'2. I would have been a monster on the court.
Personality trait? I have a lot of anxiety. I have outgrown it, too, but it's still there. It's not really the anxious reactions that I get as much as just the fact that I can't chill the **** out. My mind is always working, I am always examining every possibility. Therefore, I can't live in the moment.
I feel like I already know the outcome of a lot of situations, and for some reason that satisfies me. I'll see a girl and be like HA she wants me... then just move on.
So, I'd say my obsessive thinking (although THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN U ARE SUPER SMART) and my apathy when it comes to social interaction are what I'd change. But then again I wouldn't... I would just as soon be me. Still, they sometimes bother me.

Physical - Nothing, I'm deceptively strong, I like having that edge.
Personality - I get bored easily in conversations and try to change the topic, then if it doesn't work I just start being a dick to everyone and make them feel stupid for being interested in such a shitty topic. Oh wait, I actually wouldn't change that cause people are morons. Yeah nothing as well.

I think you make a great point and it's worth reiterating. No one cares as much about how we look as we do, so it might be a good idea for some folks to step back and realize some of their uncontrollable physical "downfalls" aren't worth losing sleep over and likely aren't downfalls at all.
I certainly have physical insecurities, but often I'll gather myself and make a point to take a deeper look at the people I just know for being who they are, and finding small features about them I normally don't notice, but might otherwise be considered abnormal on some regard. It'd be something like noticing a mole on a friend's face and thinking, "I bet she's self-conscious about that sometimes" and then I remind myself I never noticed it existed, let alone that it affected how I felt about her. It reminds me we all tend to be looked at as a whole, rather than as a series of features.
I think we're better at accepting other people in their entirety than we think we are, which in turn means we're accepted as we are more than we often believe.
