I'm mostly curious about introversion versus extroversion and sensor versus intuitive. I'm a really emotional person and I thought that meant I'm clearly one of the types who are known for their feelings but after lurking around I am now unsure.
* I handle quiet, serene environments better than loud or fast paced environments. I don't like having a large crowd around me but I do like being the center of attention around the people I know. I always feel I have to put on a show or keep them happy or entertained. I have yet to figure out why I need to do that.
* When in a negative state of mind I used to injure myself, overeat, and shop to deal with it. Comfort food was a big thing for me. Nowadays I'm the opposite and lose my appetite when stressed. Anxiety is an issue. I feel like that took the place of self harming. I mostly try to distract myself with something until I've calmed down, then I seek out someone to talk to. I do still use shopping as a coping mechanism from time to time. There's something about that feeling, that rush I get that I just enjoy. I can be a real royal bi*** when stressed out.
* I'm someone who wants people to get straight to the point.
* I'm someone who prefers to tackle things hands-on.
* Brainstorming in any form excites me.
* I like collecting things. Right now it's bookmarks.
* I'm told I'm insightful and intelligent. Who knows if I really am?
* I go with my gut and regret when I don't. I am someone who believes in signs.
* I do like metaphors and symbolism. It can be hard for me to understand other people's metaphors and symbolism, though.
* I'm not an outdoors kind of person. I do get inspired by music, smells, and other things around me.
* I tend to bounce from thing to thing. I loathe my indecisive nature.
* I'm more cautious than adventurous.
* I have a spirited yet serious disposition.
* I'm a great manipulator. A skill I acquired during my self harm days. I catch myself manipulating from time to time. I know how to use people and situations to my advantage.
* I'm noticing while I like my alone time that I usually have a pet near me. I don't like being completely alone. Maybe I'm a needy introvert.
This probably isn't enough so you can ask questions if you want.
