When in your childhood did you recognize that you were the way you are? What was the defining moment in discovering your personality(not necessarily in MBTI terms)?
There was no defining moment as such; it was more of a "work" in progress deal. I was very into designing (and still am). When I eventually got over the sibling rivalry and jealousy with my little sister, I would invent games based on the pocket games we had (playing Tetris with furniture was extremely challenging though and always got us in trouble) or design adventure parks for her in the living room. My "friends" from primary school never did that and thought I was strange from doing such things instead of playing with dolls and having imaginary tea parties (seriously..why would I do such things????). Also, I found that my interests were completely different from other kids of the same age. While the other girls would only talk about who liked whom in class (I'm not sure what the guys were doing...), I was craving to talk to people about dinosaurs and planets and why the sun was not a planet (as most people in my class believed...). At first this bothered me but I found I could have such discussions with my parents so it was fine. When I went to secondary school, I didn't meet anyone who was like me in personality. I did, however, meet people who had some interests that were similar and became friends with them. Anyway, by then being different didn't bother as much.
Hmm, interesting. Two more.
1). Do you consider yourself self-aware?
2). Why the fuck are you so good at Axis and Allies/Risk?
Yep, I sometimes feel I am too self-aware (if there can be such a thing). I wish I could be as oblivious about those things as I am about most other things.
Heh, I've never played those...but I can get pretty good at things if I put my mind to it (like the time I got deep into math because I was crushing on a guy who was excellent at math until I realised he was extremely obnoxious so the crush quickly faded into oblivion and only my love for math remained).
