1. What drives you in life? What do you look for?
Life itself! I feel life has a lot of potential and I want to get everything out of it that I can. I feel that I have a lot to become, a lot that I want to do.
2. What do you hope to accomplish in your life?
I want to make a positive impact on other people's lives while doing things that I love. I want to go into business for myself and plan/create beautiful events that bring joy to my clients because they feel like I really "got them". I want to marry someone I love, and support him and go on lots of adventures together.
3. What do you hope to avoid doing or being? What values are important to you?
I never want to hurt anyone, especially by making them feel like they aren't special and valuable just the way they are. I could never use or betray someone for my own personal gain. Some of the values that I hold dear are fidelity, monogamy, honesty, loyalty, and forgiveness.
4. What are your biggest fears (not including phobias)? Why?
Losing control, in just about every area… my life, my mind, my body. Consequently, I have trust issues, since trusting someone else means letting go of a little control. I also fear death and an unfulfilling life.
5. How do you want others to see you? How do you see yourself?
I mostly just want others to see me as a very unique individual. That there's no one quite like me. I want to be seen as exciting, creative, utterly capable, and genuinely good-hearted. I don't like people to see me differently than I see myself. I want everyone to really know and understand the real me.
6. What makes you feel your best? What makes you feel your worst?
Being loved, liked, and appreciated for my talents and abilities. I feel worst when people judge me or think ill of me, especially as a result of a misunderstanding.
7. Describe how you experience each of: a) anger; b) shame; c) anxiety.
a). I am an "excitable" person, but my anger is pretty quick and mild and easily appeased. On the rare occasions that I do get really angry, though, it "blinds" me and I feel like exploding. I don't act out too badly, though I might let out some really harsh words or storm out of the room.
b). I feel deeply embarrassed and just want to crawl out of my skin. I am certain that any person involved now thinks so much less of me, and has negatively judged me forever.
c). I have generalized anxiety disorder. When I am anxious, my mind races or repeats things; my muscles stay tense for days; my digestive tract messes up; I obsess about whatever is bothering me and introvert myself.
8. Describe how you respond to each of: a) stress; b) unexpected change; c) conflict.
a). My response to stress is pretty unpredictable. Sometimes stress energizes me and I thrive on it, but when too much of this "positive stress" (a busy schedule, for example) is mixed with "negative stress" (such as discord in personal relationships), I will become overwhelmed and swing back and forth between solitary brooding and hyper-extroversion, whilst accomplishing very little.
b). I get really annoyed and pouty about it at first, because I am very strong-willed and like to have things go as planned, especially if they were MY plans. But after I'm done complaining, I'll very easily adapt to the change and find myself feeling quite happy and refreshed and a little foolish for making a stink about it.
c). I dislike it, and avoid it, but I usually come to a point where I can and will face it in order to bring about the change that's needed. Once I get into a conflict situation, I tend to be a bit of a fighter and will push and push to have my way or have myself understood, which might lead some people to think that I actually enjoy conflict. But I don't, and will always take everything very personally.
9. Describe your orientation to: a) authority; b) power. How do you respond to these?
a). I don't have much respect for authority. I tend to feel like rules should be looked on more like guidelines. I'm not aggressively defiant, though; I charm my way around the rules. But it really frustrates me to see incompetent people in authority positions.
b). I often find myself in positions of authority/power without really trying or knowing how I got there. I tend to like it that way. I've been known to have power struggles with people in the workplace.
10. What is your overall outlook on life and humanity?
I'm a positive person. Even when I'm depressed it doesn't take much to give me hope again. I feel that humanity is good overall, and that every person has some good, some humanity in them. Everyone has potential and purpose.
