More Questions

I know it's been a while, this was supposed to be a daily thing, but hey.. I got lazy. But anyways, I'm back at it, let's see how many I can tackle today.

2. What would make you feel embarrassed in public?

This one is pretty easy, big romantic gestures are totally mortifying to me. I think it's sweet that a person would take the time to do that, but I'm personally embarrassed at everyone else seeing my reaction. I feel like the emotion that I would be overcome by is something that should only be seen in private, so that's my defense for that. Another almost equally embarrassing thing is definitely falling... which ironically is something that I tend to do quite often.

3. What do you think is your biggest flaw? What have you done about it?

My biggest flaw is definitely that when people give me criticism I instantly get defensive rather than consider what they are saying. I've haven't really done much about it, I've acknowledged that it's definitely a flaw of mine (which I guess you can say is the first step). I've also started to bite my tongue a lot more and wait for the person to complete their thought. It allows me to actually listen to what they are saying. I guess I should keep trying to correct that...

I think another small flaw that I tend to have is that I contradict myself from time to time. I say something that I truly do believe, but it is hard for me to take my own advice. I think I like getting myself into sticky situations because I know that I can get myself out of it.

4. What is your biggest strength? How did you develop it?

I would say that my biggest strength is my ability to take care of myself. I don't need to depend on anybody for anything because I know that I can always rely on myself to get things done. I think I inherited this from my mom. She always taught me to take care of myself, don't wait for others. I mean, if I don't look after myself, who will? Right?

5. What do you have to put up with in your life? How long have you been tolerating it?

Hmm, well I have to put up with being blessed with the hardest working parents anyone could ever ask for. They have been putting a roof over my head, feeding me, paying for private schooling, and let's not forget putting up with all my antics for the past 19 years. How do I tolerate it you may ask? I don't, I appreciate it. I don't take any of it for granted because I know if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have anything (literally).

I also have to put up with some of the most amazing friends any girl could ever ask for. They come from all walks of life, and I love them all just the same. I've been tolerating some since way back in my pre-school days, and others as recent as the two years I've spent in college, but it's all the same to me.

6. If you could change your name what would you change it to?

That's a really hard one, I really like my name, I can do a lot with it. So I guess if I were to change it to a boy's name. I'm not sure which one, but I love when girls have boy's names it's so cute.

Summer

This summer I want to reconnect with myself, I feel like in order for me to move forward I need to discover who I am. I need to find my strengths, weaknesses, fears, likes/dislikes, etc. Once I do that, I feel like I will be able to figure out my next step.

I found this questionnaire on Stumbleupon and I want to do it. There's 62 questions, so I figure I can do a few a day.

So, here it goes ...

What is something that no one, not even your partner, your mother, your best friend knows about you?

I want to start by saying that people only know as much about me as I am willing to share. I am a very private person, and don't think its necessary to share all the details of me with everyone. With that being said, I think that something no one knows about me is that I actually do care what people think about me. When I say " I don't care" it's just a defense tactic, I have a problem with being open and expressing my true emotions. So yes, I may be angry, hurt, excited, etc. about something someone may say about me or does to me, but I would rather avoid the discussion all together rather than explain why I feel that way. I have notcied lately that I am starting to express my emotions a little more, but I don't think I will ever be the girl that "wears her heart on her sleeve"
