Main Questions
1. What drives you in life? What do you look for?
Acceptance, Admiration, Connection, Truth and love without pretense
2. What do you hope to accomplish in your life?
I want to be happy and utilize my skills and strengths to my best ability. I want to have a niche, a specialty, something that will draw people to me, that they will trust in my skills and talents. I want to make others believe in themselves also. I want true, pure and meaningful connections with others.
3. What do you hope to avoid doing or being? What values are important to you?
I don't want to be clingy or needy, I don't want to hurt others or bring them down, I don't want to be cruel and I hate being misunderstood. However, honesty is basically the most important thing to me.
4. What are your biggest fears (not including phobias)? Why?
Being forever alone, being considered unintelligent or uninteresting, being dishonest, being rejected.
5. How do you want others to see you? How do you see yourself?
Strong, put together, honest, mysterious, clever and witty. I see myself as scared and vulnerable, but with the ability to do many things, very self-aware and controlled to a fault.
6. What makes you feel your best? What makes you feel your worst?
I feel my best when I finish a project, when I put my heart and soul into something and I am happy with the results (because I'm so rarely happy with the results). When I've accomplished something meaningful for myself or others. Or I suppose when I'm first in love.
7. Describe how you experience each of: a) anger; b) shame; c) anxiety.
a. I either leave the situation and mull over my thoughts for a day or I complain to someone close. I rarely explode.
b. Shame, I would probably become very quiet and sort of sink into myself.
c. It is something that I rarely don't feel, so I am rather used to it. Sometimes when I feel uncomfortable I have little nervous ticks, like fidgeting with things or tapping my phone screen or something.
8. Describe how you respond to each of: a) stress; b) unexpected change; c) conflict.
a. Stress causes me to withdrawal from the world, fall into bouts of escapism. Avoid, become depressed, long to do crazy and unexpected things. Become bitter and snappy. etc. etc.
b. Unexpected change, I don't like. Expected change, I will have anxiety about it. But I know I need it.
c. My initial instinct is to get away from conflict, but the emotional toll it takes provokes me into confrontation. I know that avoiding a conflict only makes things worse.
9. Describe your orientation to: a) authority; b) power. How do you respond to these?
a. I am slightly adverse to authority, unless I really respect the authority figure. I am very sensitive to corrupt authority figures and people who attempt to control and manipulate weaker parties.
b. Power....see above.
10. What is your overall outlook on life and humanity?
It's all about the middle. People live too much in extremes. The world isn't all good, but it certainly isn't all bad. It irritates me when people say things like "Life sucks"....parts of it do, of course they do! But some things are great too, you just aren't looking for them.
