Yeah I guess. But the stupid thing is: if everything was significant and exciting, my perceptions would shift accordingly, making these events seem dull and insignificant.I think this is idealism. I always fantasize about things turning out amazing or being some significant event in my life - and then I am inevitably disappointed. It's not that I want drama, but I just get tired of the mundane and predictable. Of course, all anyone else sees is me criticizing things or coming off unimpressed.
But if there is plenty of drama already happening, there's no need to create any.The last boyfriend said I prefer to live my life in a constant state of crisis so....yes. When it comes to practical matters I'm very non-dramatic though. If there's an emergency, I get physically hurt, something breaks etc... I'm usually the most level headed person in the room. In all matters concerning my idealism, romance, dreams, etc... I'm usually far too emotionally moved in an instant, although for the most part keep matters tightly under wraps inside.
No seriously, like you, I'm usually the most together person in a crisis (outwardly anyway). I tend to go a bit zombie-like for a little while but once that's over I start taking action. Others have told me that they find my zombie reaction to have a calming affect on them. Personally, I think most people are just grateful that at least one person isn't hysterically shrieking/sobbing/shouting.
