I think I do take on emotionally, physically, and intellectually challenging experiences. It's just that I am driven by challenge itself. I like to be able to solve things using all of the above tools all at once. I have found that I tend to compound and create challenge within relationship, education, and my work experiences. I think it's one of the very reasons (well besides being artistic, creative, and visually driven) that I can't get math. I make it too hard and complex, not logical by any means.
Interpersonally I also take on challenges that I know I will have to work at. My relationships tend to be with withdrawn unemotional types who are highly intellectual and analytical. I pursue friendships that require empathy and a high level of maintenance. I also befriend those who are outsiders, disadvantaged possibly and generally those who need to be listened to, and nurtured. I usually enjoy my work to be difficult intellectually as well as some degree socially where I have to put my needs aside to help others; I'm good at training people for this reason.
I think that I remain possibly too idealic in my life outlook and these challenges ground me, keep me in the present. I've always learned the most about myself and others in hard-scary times.
