I swear this is the last one! My final type thread, that is. Mainly for confirmation this time, though also out of curiosity I suppose. It's been a while since my last type thread and I've learned a lot about myself since then. I think instead of just listing things about me like I've done in the past, I'm going to try describing myself in paragraph form.
The first thing people notice about me is that I'm very quiet and introverted. I dislike socializing and prefer having as few friends as possible. Maintaining friendships is stressful...too many obligations I don't want to get stuck with, and I'm happier alone. When I'm around people I rarely engage them in conversation, but if they approach me I'll try to be friendly and pleasant (if I can think of anything to say, that is ). However, I'm distant and don't talk much about myself or how I feel, so I'm hard to get to know.
I'm pretty easy to get along with. I'm careful not to rub anyone the wrong way, though I'm not completely conflict averse. People I interact with tell me they can't see me getting angry or mean. I'm not very assertive and it's hard for me when I have to yell to get someone's attention.
I want things to be comfortable and easy. When life is not that way, I get very stressed out. Work in just about any form is very unpleasant to me. I'm happiest when I'm alone, free to do whatever I want (which almost always involves my computer ). I can be stubborn when people try to change me, to tell me that I need to be more outgoing or have more hobbies.
I am very disconnected from my feelings. When people ask me how I feel about something, I usually have a hard time answering (my answer is "Uh....I don't know..."). I sometimes have trouble identifying what emotion I'm feeling, and I have an even harder time figuring out the cause. Lately I've been feeling anxious all the time, though I can't figure out why. My anxiety is felt physically, but isn't accompanied by anxious thoughts.
My thoughts generally consist of music playing in my head, daydreaming or inventing stories to entertain myself, occasional commentary or observations, and analyzing or explaining issues. I always think in complete sentences as if I'm talking silently to myself, which I've heard is unusual. However, I often find I'm just spacing out, not really thinking about anything in particular.
I am sometimes intellectual, yet often I'm not particularly interested in such things. I'm most intellectual when I have an issue I'm curious about and want to understand better. When that happens, I google it and can spend hours reading about it and looking for specific information to satisfy my curiosity.
I am prone to overanalyzing things and going back and forth, unable to decide. I worry about getting stuck in a situation where I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to do, and when that happens I may try to ask someone. Sometimes it feels like other people must have something I'm missing, because they always seem to know intuitively what to do even in new situations, so I sometimes get embarrassed when I have to ask.
I try to be objective and logical when interpreting situations. I'm naturally able to see multiple perspectives of a situation, which helps me stay objective...but makes it difficult to form my own judgments. Although I'd rather not judge anyways. I'm sensitive to being judged by others and I hate it, so I won't do that to anyone else.
So...that's all I can think of right now. I may add more later if I remember some important part I left out. Feel free to ask questions!
