During work, group activities, etc. what role do you often gravitate to?
If the other people in the group are slacking I'll designate tasks (Though I'm not really comfortable in leadership positions). If the others are fairly talkative and getting things done, I'll help the others out with their work since it's less effort than having a task all to myself. I like brainstorming and coming up with ideas.
What habits/traits are you often criticised over by those closest to you? (Give at least two examples)
Low self esteem. That speaks for itself really. I'm not that confident and am sometimes told off for saying mean things about myself. I've been told I'm self critical, very harshly so.
Being "anti-social". Though really they mean "stop being so quiet and introverted". I think it ties in a little with the low self esteem, but really I often just don't see any reason for me to share my thoughts. If they wanted to know something, they'd ask right? Hm I suppose I'm not the best at answering questions the way people would want them to. Like I'll give them an answer, then a few minutes later realise "oh wait they wanted me to expand on that didn't they". I'm sure I'll figure out how to talk to people some day..
What values do you hold? Why?
Honesty: just say what you mean. Open-mindedness: everyone's got a different story. Wisdom: I like for things to make sense and know there's more than meets the eye, that if you combine knowledge and insight you come to a result that's much more effective.
Describe your decision making process.
I like to gather as much information as possible before doing anything. Often I come up with pros and cons and be assess them, along with what I know want and don't want. I can be a little indecisive since I'm cautious about making commitments. I make decisions by myself and I need time to organise my thoughts.
Reviewing all your enjoyable moments, what aspects often made them worthwhile?
I don't think the two are mutually exclusive: something doesn't have to worthwhile to be enjoyable. It can be a waste of time and still be the most fun thing in the world. If something makes me happy it's generally worth my time.
Do you ever want to make a difference in the world? Why/Why not? What would you do?
"Live each day as if it's your last', that was the conventional advice, but really, who had the energy for that? What if it rained or you felt a bit glandy? It just wasn't practical. Better by far to be good and courageous and bold and to make difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you. " This is one of my favourite quotes, and I think it answers this question quite nicely. I suppose if I were to make a change, I would hope people would be impacted by my writing and come to some sort of epiphany lol
What traits about other people annoy you?
Loud people. I don't mind if you talk a lot just be bloody quiet. Pushovers. I had a coworker who would basically bend over backwards just to make people happy at his own expense. I would've liked to have toughen him up a little. But that was his choice I guess. Bossy people too, you know the ones who just automatically assume leadership even though their ideas are terrible and they're only up there because they want attention. Leave it to someone who actually knows what theyre doing, smh.
