You know the drill 😎

  1. What’s your biggest fear?

Dying alone 💀 More specifically, dying without having ever gotten married. I also fear not having some kind of offspring of my own eventually (adoption is perfectly fine and counts here btw; I would be happy with adopting in the future if necessary), but this fear isn't as great as dying without a wife.

  1. What’s your biggest desire?

Getting married and having a family of my own. Right behind that is saving the world in some way (or at least, significantly impacting the world for the better in some major way, like Jesus or Ghandi or MLK; I want to leave a legacy behind of having helped a LOT of people on a grand scale through a radical vision or personal philosophy of mine).

  1. What are you ''the best'' at?

Communication. I'm very good at "translating" people's thoughts so as to cut down on people talking past each other all the time. I'm also pretty good at predicting what people are about to say in general, and helping them feel understood. I can make things that are usually hard to understand into something simple and mass-communicable, and of course something actionable.

I'm not the best at it but I'm also better than most at providing emotional comfort, and compliments in general. I'm pretty good at anticipating what people need, and remembering unique things about them (such as their favorite snack or their own birthday or what have you), even if it's been a very long time since I've seen the person (and I'm talking years lol; as long as the person was special to me in some way, anyway). I'm also just very good at reading people in general.

  1. How do you see yourself right now?

I'd rather not say anything that'll make me look immodest or not humble, but I worry that just by saying this that I'm essentially doing the very thing I'm trying to avoid haha.

I guess if I absolutely have to say something, I see myself as a very perceptive person and someone who cares a lot about other people in general.

  1. How do you see yourself 5 years from now?

No idea. Idk how anyone could see that far into the future tbh lol. Ideally, I'd be married at least. And I'd have at least one kid, too. That would be really nice. I'd also like to have my own cult (jk but also kinda not; I want to start my own "church" or religious movement, so to speak).

  1. How do you express yourself?

I guess the way I'm doing it right now haha.

Nah but fr tho, I talk with my hands a lot I guess. I also have to talk my feelings out out loud in order to properly process them. So sometimes you might catch me off guard and see me muttering to myself when I didn't want you or anyone else to see, because sometimes I won't have anyone I can talk to or feel like I can honestly confide in. Sometimes I'm afraid opening up will make me look weak, especially if I'm the usually upbeat one making others feel better or playing the role of therapist (and especially if the person I want to open up to has, in the past, not listened, changed the subject, tried to gaslight or undermine me about what I know I experienced, threw it back at my face, shared with everyone what I told them in confidence, or what have you).

Sometimes I'm afraid opening up will make me look like a victim, and I don't want to look like like that. I often feel like it'll destroy this perfect image I have curated to make sure that other people think I'm fine and even great, and that I can still be the "nice," "sweet," "funny," "cool," or "charming" guy I usually am. Because it kinda feels like if I'm not all these things at all times, then others just... don't want me around for some reason.

I see most people, but most people don't see me. And by "see," I mean look at the inside of someone. Not simply the exterior. But it's fine as I'm pretty used to it by now and I accepted this a pretty long time ago, I think. I usually just deal with things on my own, anyway.

So I guess I don't really express myself.

  1. How do you feel about those near you (family, friends)?

I care immensely about them, but it often feels like they don't really care about me as much as I care about them.

  1. How do you feel about strangers?

They're just people, trying to get by like anyone else. I have no reason to feel ill will toward anyone who has yet to hurt me, and strangers fall into this category. In fact, I feel like people don't really care about their fellow man as much as they should. The Good Samaritan is a good example of how we ought to treat strangers, even those who we may be predisposed to not liking (the J3ws and Samaritans did not get along, but most people overlook the historical context of this passage in the Bible, among other amazing things like how the Samaritan was breaking a lot of man-made "purity laws" in deciding to save the J3w).

I really like the quote, "Be the change you want to see in the world." I want to embody what I feel like is sorely lacking in the world, and that to me is compassion. It feels like nobody is genuinely compassionate towards others anymore and it often frustrates me.

  1. How do you deal with conflict?

I try and kill 'em with kindness 👉😉👉 I will try to be very patient, and not stoop to the level of someone who is seemingly just trying to abuse me or be mean to me for whatever reason (sometimes they were just having a bad day though, to be fair; most people usually have good intentions and/or are just taking out on me frustrations that really came from elsewhere and not me).

If that doesn't work tho, I can kindaaaaa explode and that can look really ugly (which I will promptly feel extremely guilty and ashamed about immediately afterward, lol). I feel guilty for feeling negative emotions in general, though. Or expressing them, I guess.

If there's conflict between two other people, and it doesn't involve me, I tend to step in and try to mediate if it's at least somewhat civil, or get seriously angry and even sometimes forceful if who I perceive as the innocent party is literally being physically threatened. I don't feel as guilty for my emotions in these instances, funnily enough.

  1. How do you deal with change?

Not great and I'll just leave it at that lol.

  1. How do you deal with your emotions?

See my answers to questions 6 and 9 (lol 69).

  1. What do you hope to avoid doing or being? What values are important to you?

I hope to avoid being an uncaring person, or a person lacking in kindness and compassion and virtue in general. I also hope to avoid apathy, but these things can get to me sometimes if I'm not careful.

Integrity as a whole is very important to me, but a value I feel is probably most important is compassion. Very close behind this is loyalty, honesty, and steadfastness. Being true to your word. Etc. It's not kind to be lacking in any of these departments.

  1. What do you hope to accomplish in your life?

I just want to be a good person. I want to fulfill the purpose for which I and everyone else was created (at least in my opinion), and that is to love others genuinely and fully in the ways that people as individuals need to be loved.

  1. How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?

It depends. If I'm in the middle of doing something already (usually for someone else), I can get annoyed (but promptly feel guilty about this and tell myself that I shouldn't be like that). Otherwise, I'm usually glad to help. It feels nice to be nice.

If I decide to help it's because I want to be a kind person, and it's just the right thing to do.

  1. Do you need logical consistency in your life?

Hmmm. Sometimes. I think more than anything I need moral consistency, which I guess might require logical consistency at times. But morality tends to outweigh logic for me in any case, unless I can use logic to show why something is actually evil and should be discouraged or avoided.

  1. How important is your image in regards to how others perceive you? Do you want to be perceived in a certain way? Does it bother you if you are perceived in some other way than the one you wish to be perceived with?

It's admittedly important to me, as guilty and ashamed as I am to say that (I'm working on it, tho).

I want to be perceived as a good person. A kind and compassionate person.

It bothers me immensely when I'm perceived in a way other than the way I wish to be perceived. Though it doesn't bother me as much (if at all) if I'm perceived as too aggressive or flippant when I step in to defend somebody I care about/someone I think is being persecuted or abused or bullied or what have you.

  1. How important is financials, security, and survival to you? This includes having sufficient resources, avoiding danger and maintaining a fundamental sense of structure and wellbeing

Meh. I want emotional stability more than anything, lol. Emotional turmoil feels more dangerous than actual, physical threats for some reason. (Except bugs, they're the only exception to the rule and they terrify me 👁👁 I try and trap bugs that wander into my house in order to throw them outside tho. I reaaaally don't like killing them cuz idk it's just mean and I feel bad if I do that, man; they're just trying to live and they don't even really know what's going on anyway, there's very little reason to kill them most of the time.)

If there ever is an immediate physical threat, I wake up like a sleeper agent and suddenly get super smart and hyper-aware of every little thing going on. That's only happened a few times in my life, though (I'm grateful for being able to live as comfortable as I do in a first world country with good, albeit helicopter, parents that raised me lol), so thankfully I don't usually have to go full on "Jason Bourne" on people and the world in the day-to-day 😎😂

  1. What is your reaction and thoughts to others' rejection, criticism and disapproval of you?

Bad.

I try not to think too much about it.

  1. What is the importance of the concepts, ideas and meaning behind things to you? Are you trying to make sense of your everyday life?

Extremely important. I'm always thinking about the meaning of things. I don't know why more people don't think about these kinds of things, you're going to die eventually lol. You'd think you'd want to get things like meaning and purpose sorted out before the inevitable comes...

  1. What are your thoughts on expressing your vulnerability?

It's hard for me to show vulnerability.

  1. Would you consider yourself a jealous and/or possessive person? What do you think is the cause?

I didn't think I was but recent events have come up that have made me realize that I'm a lot more jealous and possessive than I previously thought.

  1. What makes you feel guilty? How do you deal and cope with such feelings? Do you seek to fix it, or do you dwell on them?

I've kinda already answered this in various ways throughout everything I've written here.

  1. What do you think is an example of an ideal person? Emphasize which qualities are more important to you, and explain whether this ideal is something you’d want to be, or someone you would like to seek out

Jesus.

He has innumerable qualities that I can't possibly expound on in any meaningful way that anybody else before me hasn't already in the past 2000 years (lol). If I absolutely had to say something, though, I'd say the qualities I find most important from him are his self-sacrificial and faithful nature.

I seek Jesus out every day, as do I seek to emulate him 😊

  1. How do you view and judge reality?

Uhhh idek how to answer this tbh lol. Seems more like an MBTI question if I'm being completely honest.

Reality is reality. We all share one objective reality, though some people for some reason think reality is whatever you want it to be (which is wrong, and dangerous). There are underline, spiritual things that need to be discerned with a more careful eye at times, yes, but it's still the same reality we all share at the end of the day (even on the spiritual side of things, which we all have access to in varying ways, with some being positive and some negative of course).

The question Pilate asked of Jesus during his trial and interrogation toward him is the same question the post-modernist asks: "What is truth?" It is just as dangerous and crafty a question as the one the serpent asked of Eve in the Garden of Eden: "Did ___ really say...?"

Reality is also pretty brutal if we don't act to change it or be above it in some way. Like the quote I referenced earlier, we have to "be the change [we] want to see in the world." Reality is, sadly, harsh and often dark. But a city set on a hill cannot be hid, and neither can a lamp in the corner of a dark room...

Please type me based on my WordCloud

Lmaoo. So alot of this is quite accurate I think but at the same time I feel like it portrays me as too soft, whatever. I am curious to see what ppl can infer about my type from this. Thank you!

Typing help

Jumping on the highlighting trend for some typing help.

Key: Yellow highlighted, I identify with this trait or description; Yellow and Red/Just Red highlighted, I deeply identify with this trait

I’m also interested if what I’ve highlighted shows some form(s) of disintegration/integration which could itself be the hallmark of a subtype.

Note: happy to provide things from other typologies with which I identify, if that helps also

u/CarobBusy4147 — 12 hours ago

Can you guess my tritype based on the descriptions that i relate to

Hello guys👋, how are you all? I hope you all are fine 😊.

Well i wanted to participate to this trend that is here on Reddit, and i hope you will have fun trying to guess, also i will leave the descriptions for you blank without highlights in case you wanted to use it 😃.

u/JazzlikeMistake9237 — 2 days ago

wanted to post a type me because so far I have only typed myself and I want a better picture, explanations for typings appreciated.

>How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself.

I'm too old. Also I'm a woman. I am a thing that exists. I don't know how else to feel about myself. I just operate to my ability and from what I know in the conditions that I am given and I like to think I'm doing my best, though I feel limited with the narrow gaze and mental contraptions I get stuck in. I'm weird as hell.

>Is there a medical diagnosis that may impact your mental stability somehow?

I'm diagnosed with autism, social anxiety, and ocd

>If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?

This is basically what I do on a daily basis. It gets lonely but I have no other options. I don't relate to anyone.

>How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?

I definitely have more ideas than I execute, and I forget them right as they come to me. I've wanted to write about ideas and emotional revelations. It has mostly to do with my own interior or the state of things in the world and how I've connected it together. I end up writing less than half of it down in what feels like an incomplete idea.

>Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?

Nope, and there's a ton of reasons for that. For one I'm not charismatic or dependable in any way, I'm really awkward. And also I just work better alone. I have a vision that only I can see, and I'm not very good at explaining it. People always misunderstand what I'm trying to get at and I struggle to correct them because I suck at communication. Plus social anxiety or whatever.

>Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?

Not coordinated by any means, but I am precise. It probably has to do with my perfectionism. I had a pottery class and I enjoyed it a lot. I would spend my lunches alone working extra time to work on my pottery projects. I suck at drawing but I was oddly good at sculpting. You can be surprisingly good at developing random skills when your standards for yourself are way too fucking high. I don't recommend it though, it's not good for your mental health.

>Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.

In an unconventional way, I think I could be considered artistic, but there is not that much art being produced, and it comes out primarily in writings, which aren't great. I am definitely an appreciator of art and beautiful things. My favorite form of art is music, which I listen to a lot but don't like to talk about too much with people.

>What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?

The past feels so distant to me, the present is uninteresting, and the future is whatever happens next. There's not much I can say about it.

>How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?

I will most likely do it unless it's completely out of my comfort zone because I like to feel like I have a shred of humanity left in me.

>Do you need logical consistency in your life?

If coherence counts, then I guess. I like to feel like nothing in the equation has been left out.

>How important is efficiency and productivity to you?

It can't be there unless there's a clear goal in mind, which I haven't figured out yet. Can't be productive if there's no product, then it's only mindless doing.

>Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?

No, and I feel like that should be obvious because of previous answers, but I'll answer anyways for clarification. I'm never sure enough of myself to have a clear goal in mind that I want to assert, let alone force onto others.

>What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?

Watching paint dry. But actually, I have a few. They aren't consistent hobbies. I'll crochet or knit sometimes. I'm a beginner tho. I've made jewelry in the past. I read a bit. But I mostly think.

>How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go?

Improvise as I go.

>What are your aspirations in life, professionally and personally?

I have mild narcissism and I've wanted to be famous before. Whatever it is I decide on, I want creative control, and I want it to be an isolated effort. I want a lesbian lover that I can cuddle up with into eternity inside my nature home. Realistically, I'm gonna rot in my head forever.

>What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?

Like, anything that could possibly go wrong in the world. The center of it all though, I think, is a lack of control and needing to feel invulnerable.

>What do the "highs" in your life look like?

The path is not certain, but the directions are clear. My self esteem is at a high, and I'm actually okay with things.

>What do the "lows" in your life look like?

I have no way of getting out of this.

>How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?

Lol no. Now am I aware of my surroundings while I do it? I didn't think you could be.

>How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?

Now, the correct approach is to stall the chance that you have to make an important decision as much as you can, and when that comes let's hope you have processed enough to be decisive.

>How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?

I would say that they are pretty important because they are what make me, me and inform the decisions that I make. Being more familiar with them grants me freedom from the whims of others. It is a long, grueling journey to process them all, but the clarity is worth it.

>Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?

Yeah, because I feel that explaining things that are too complex in the moment is too difficult.
It does piss me off sometimes, having to superficially accept things that you strongly feel are wrong but have no ability to fully articulate, and the moment is too quick. I would say it happens a lot but I have been able to sometimes fight back.

>Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why?

I like to cooperate with people mostly. I don't go out of my way to break rules unless I genuinely feel it is unjust, and if I do I'll do it as covertly as I can. I don't like letting things happen so sometimes I have been vocal despite my very introverted and anxious nature.

u/aprostate22 — 1 day ago

I need help typing myself

I came to the conclusion I'm a 5 (5w6 So/Sx 514 more precisely) after a looooong time researching and changing my opinions. I firstly thought I was an E1, then an E5, then an E4, then briefly an E3, then alternated between E5 and E4 (and sometimes E1 again). I got to the conclusion I'm a 5 by process of elimination and by correlation between those types and what made me think I could be one and not the other.

I started thinking I was an E1 because in general I relate to most of the E1 characteristics in a deep way. I don't think I am a E1 because I'm really messy and my mind is very chaotic and I do not force my world view on others (obviously I mean it in the normal way an E1 does that).

I started thinking about E4 because I also identify a lot with 4s characteristics. I don't identify with the part where 4s make people deal with their shit so they can figure themselves out because I hate being a burden for people. I do feel a lot and have the need to express things, even though I'm a bit shy and reserved.

I started thinking about E5 about the same time as E1, specially because the friends that introduced me to enneagram said I looked like an E5. I do relate to most of the things on E5, but I don't think I relate to the vouyeuristic side of E5. I do get the thrill of observing the world and I do feel extremely unprepared to deal with the situations of life, but I don't like to visualize myself detatched from the world because the thrill of things comes from our relationship with the world and with people and from real experiences. I dont want to throw my life away. I already thought about being an E7 because of that and I used to be very energic as a kid and I used to and still do make a lot of planning for stuff that I want to do and end up with more projects than I can handle. I'm not positive like an E7 tho, and I do not have the social skills of 7s or the fast responsivness they have. I'm more inclined to 5 and 4 because I relate to the exploring the inner world and being a depressive little shit. I also identified with E3 because I do have an extreme desire to be praised and be good at stuff and to create a badass self image and I cant handle being worse than other people on anything, but I handle that frustration by just being frustrated and doing nothing about it (really not healthy).

I think about the relation between 1 and 5 where 5s are like 1s but they are critics of themselves and not the world. Im a critic of both by mainly myself for not being competent in any level (not only skill based stuff).

I also discarted 3 because I dont really follow what society wants or whatever.

EDIT: I forgot to add some things...

1 - I'm very outgoing for a 5. I'm more sociable than every single 5 I know. That's why I think I'm So/Sx (I identify with Social variant and it's needs and I dont identify with the isolationist aspect of Sp)

2 - I forgor

6w7 vs 9w8☃️ (check desc)

i feel like e6 and e9 is equal to me, help decide which one is me!!

I've read their differences many times, and end up with e9. but the thought that my mistype was way too accurate and people who know me on surface always type me e6 is haunting me!

I'm confident that i can't have both of them in tritype, because both of them are "equal" and much stronger than a fix. my heart triad fix is e3, and i have very strong 8 and 7 either fix or wing. i also have OCD and anxiety disorder which might look like e6, audhd which might look like e7 and hsp which might look like e4.

im ISFJ FVLE if it helps.

💋💋💋💋thanks everyone!!

u/RestaurantActive2568 — 4 days ago

Type me based off my answers to these questions

  1. how do you want to be viewed?

-in all honestly, I don’t really care how people see me as a person. All I really care about is that people recognise my skill and knowledge. I like drawing, I’ve been doing it since I was age 1. I’m currently learning animation. Even if im seen as a piece of shit, I don’t really care as long as they recognise my skill - “wow, that person is a huge asshole, but you can’t deny, they’re a really talented artist.”

2.what kind of people do you like?

-I like straightforward and unorthodox people. I like people who are interesting to observe, even when I’m not interacting with them. There have been many cases where I’ve taken interest in strange people who aren’t afraid to be honest about how they truly feel. I feel perfectly content just watching them from afar. I don’t think I’d have it in me to actually interact though. And if I do, I’d try to get to know their interests. It’s important to me that my friends have similar interests as me, otherwise, there’s not much we’d really talk about.

3.what kind of people do you

dislike?

-overly conformist people who are only ever into mainstream stuff. But I especially don’t like fake people who are vague about their intentions. A lot of my bullies were people like that.

4.What makes you feel loved?

-People who accept me for my avoidant personality. I’m a bit hard to get close to so I’d really feel loved if someone was actually willing to be with me despite those qualities, as I know avoidant people aren’t very attractive socially wise. I’m also bit of a weirdo so it feels nice to be accepted for who I truly am.

5.What makes you feel hated?

-Being mocked or having my personal space invaded, but I’m specifically talking about instances where people are invading it on purpose, fully knowing that I hate it.

  1. what’s you biggest fear?

-Being in a position where something is against my will. Autonomy is very important to me.

7.what gives life meaning?

-I don’t think life really has objective meaning. But personally speaking, I love learning new things. You learn something new every day. That quote sorta keeps me alive.

8.how do you act under stress?

-I isolate myself and get very irritated. There’s a big chance I might lash out at anyone who tries to interact with me.

▲ 7 r/EnneagramTypeMe+1 crossposts

I think I know my type, but I might discover things doing this

^(one of the most contradictory human being out there) ^(- everything that I think will really help you type me is in bold and italic)

✮ Identity ✮
^(I love when everything is structured into lists and groups)

I'm a guy. I study Computational Linguistics and aim at working on language models for healthcare or aerospace.

Sirituality - After considering Christianity as a kid and as an atheist during my teenage years. After being pagan for a short notice, I was brought to Buddhism. I am still learning and getting my practices into place and into a structured routine.

Politics - irl I'm definitely not an activist. On the political compass, I'm like at the very center for literally most subjects on politics. I go by my very own ideals, as I have created my very own political system and constitution. Some of my opinions tend to be very contradictory as I tend to listen to both sides first and make up my decision this way, my opinions are usually lukewarm and tend to look at morals first.. I like debating if it has an end result.

✮ Interests ✮
^(You could skip this part, my broad interest is already a good hint I think lol.)

  • Workout, I use weights and I'll try and bulk when I'll be able to change diet.
  • Flexibility, I use asanas to build flexibility in my joints and improve balance
  • Languages, I speak English and French, I'm still trying to get better at Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. I can read Russian, Arabic, Korean and Thai. And I would love to learn those latter languages on top of Pali and Swedish. But I have put on hold language learning for a while, I'm also never satisfied of the method I use; but I'm liking the holistic methodology so far.
  • Linguistics, well I majored in this domain. I like analyzing structure
  • Programming, I code, I'm creating my own website for which I'm still not satisfied of the design
  • Healthcare, before getting into linguistics I studied medicine (anatomy, histology, cytology, physiology...etc) for a year I've only worked in nursing homes so far. I love taking care of people and death is interesting to meditate on, it brings me back to reality
  • Astronomy, just got into it not so long ago, so I'm not well versed in it.
  • Football, just recently got into, I'm watching the UEFA and Premier League
  • Cars and Mechanic, also recently got into it, but I have absolutely no knowledge since my father never taught me about it.
  • Martial Arts, I learned some Judo as a kid but forgot about all of it, and I plan on learning Taekwondo or MMA in the far future.
  • Fashion, from casual to e-boy, from e-boy to goth, from goth to y2k, from y2k to cyber Y2K with Buddhist material. It was quite a journey of self-discovery jumping between subcultures and interests but since my studies come first I haven't had time and money to spend learning DIY, but I hope I will.
  • Urbex and hiking, I love going out and especially in abandoned places though I've visited a few I don't have anyone to go in urbex places anymore.
  • Music, music is with Buddhism what speaks the most to me. As much as I'd like to create my own music I'm not creative at all. I mostly listen to witch house and dark trap. But I enjoy listening to
  • Cuisine, I love spicy food! Therefore I mostly make Thai, Indian and Southern Chinese dishes. I rarely follow a recipe unless I have to make pastry. And I especially enjoy sharing it with others and showing what I make.
  • Digital Art, I rarely draw and when I do, the drawing will never be finished as I'm never satisfied with how it comes out. I'm also barely creative
  • Typology, I used to be well versed in typology, I had good knowledge and interpretation on MBTI, Enneagram and their subtypes, Attitudinal Psyche and the Big Five.
  • Fortune-telling, I used to learn about palmistry, Saju (Bazi) and rune divination, I stopped for reasons, but might get back into it later on with Shamanism for reasons..

Concerning entertainment, I love medical series, anything that would make me emotional and horror. I don't watch anime or read manga much anymore unless it is Horror Seinen.

✮ Obsessions ✮

My voice and accent I am very self conscious about them and they bring down my confidence

My identity, I'm still trying to figure myself out although I now have a good hunch about who I am

--- ^(From there on, it is mostly about personality so I won't put relevant stuff in bold and italic) ---

✮ Relationships ✮

FRIENDS - Deep connection is the most important to me. I have cut every relationship that I used to have from primary to high school as they were one-sided, being the only one putting in effort to see one another was tiring. From college I kept contact with three friends. Online I tend not to have as much feelings and would rather meet irl.

FRIENDS - However I have multiple online friends with whom I have some trust in but will sometimes go MIA when things seem to be falling apart. There have been drama, just like gore I used to nourish from those but I grew out of that.

FAMILY - My mom is very dear to me, and I constantly remind myself on how time flies and I need to value every moment with her. Same with my younger brother although I tend to keep a fatherly figure with him despite my father being present.

LOVE - there are times I am interested in it, and even have crushes with whom I could potentially see spending my life with ; but I always go back to my values on really deep connection especially in love.

My ideal type - they need to be witty, honest, self-aware, authentic and have a strong identity and set values that align mostly with mine. They don't need to be sociable

I've always tended to be the intermediary and trouble-shooter for everything. But when things are getting out of control I'm also losing my shit, leave and close doors.

In discussions, I'm very open to talk about anything, I appreciate talking about taboo subjects as long as it remains respectful. I'm really not reserved either, but I am calm and quiet. I have trouble speaking properly and tend to talk slow.

✮ Struggles ✮

My libido and impulses are a brake to me improving. There are times when it's better but I usually fall back. I'm still holding my libido tightly on certain values I'm affirming on myself

Perfectionist, how many times have I said I am not satisfied in this post? I always want to find a better methodology to do stuff, which makes me redo the exact same thing again. And I also have this ideal of making the most out of my day.
Yet, I'm still quite disorganized

Not grounded, this is not about me daydreaming, I mostly don't unless it's about reminiscing on the way things could have been done or ways things could happen which happen out lout ; most of the time my mind is set into nothingness which are due to remains of a fucked up mental health.
Yet, when in nature or snapping back and not clouded by impulses, I can be very mindful of my surroundings and what is new. My mind goes up and down throughout the day

People pleaser - I tend to comply too much to what people want, and don't always look out at them taking advantage of the situation. I can say yes even if I do not want to

Not creative/imaginative - Despite having many artistic aspirations, I definitely have no imagination to create something new, I take inspirations of artists or write down details of what I want to make that is unique.

Trouble speaking up - there are rare times I will speak up and stand up for myself, most of the time I either don't care or tell myself that I don't.

✮ Strengths ✮

Always smiling - I smile a lot, people tell me I'm a ray of sunshine and make their day (although in selfies I won't be smiling)

Adaptable/Flexible - I don't react much to change, and I can adapt to most situations. At my previous work, I held different job titles and responsibilities with ease.

Competitive - sometimes too much, I love competing with others and see who's better. If I lose I also lose all my confidence and will. If I win I gain in confidence and my work look better this way (improved accent, more details in a program...etc) at which point I might look pedantic

Sensitive - depending on what they expect from an interaction I either hear them out or give advices.

Entrepreneurial - only on dire situation when nobody stepped up.

Relaxed - most of the time I'm just a chill guy and I don't care if we don't conform to a program

✮ Fears ✮

Hornets and wasps, those lil mf*ers.

Biggest fear - not make the most out of my current life, day, capacities and possibilities. I need to show the better version of myself to other and past selves.

Core fear - deceiving others, not be enough, not be myself

✮ Decision-making and Problem-solving ✮

This is a whole mess on its own.

When there is a problem - I look at the current problem, analyze and react. But after things are done I see the flaws on my approach and see many possibilities on the ways I could have solved these.

When there is a decision - I have good intuition on what's the better deal for others. When it's for me, oh hell I don't know what to choose. The bigger the decision that concerns me, the worse my indecision gets

A point on methodology - I love lists, comparisons and grouping (taxonomy)

✮ Situation ✮

Under general/extreme stress - I will be grounded and be hyper-fixated on details

Under emotional stress - I will remain calm until I snap into a possible panic attack

Under negative situation - I will either indulge in it and take pleasure in the pain, or try and ground myself

^(Even if no one try and guess, that post is quite helpful, it's the first time I write such a complete description of myself.)
