| I usually put up a guard with females so my friendliness isn't (ever) mistaken for interest. Other than that, I am probably too masculine and definitely not into subjects the typical female is into. Although, I bonded with a female the other over the topic of Country music. If the subject is music, ... |

| I used to be depressed over lack of friends, and I still get down every once and awhile thinking about it. Generally it's a huge puzzle, trying to understand how people make friends. I guess it doesn't help that I don't have a cell phone haha. I do believe, more than ever, I am very capable of makin... |

| I can be very competitive, when having fun first and foremost. Also, I'll talk sh*t, specifically for comedic effect even if I am losing. Playing video games against friends for example: I greatly enjoy casual competition because I can put my skills to the test and improve even more. In situations w... |

Hm... I wish I had an instrument, a guitar specifically, so I can work on becoming virtuoso at it.
Right now I am practicing songwriting by writing lyrics to instrumental music. Also I am practicing singing and later might compose some MIDI stuff (teaching myself Music Theory). |

I am eternally glad I got past that." :D You'll be much stronger than before, and I know I never allow depression to fully set in. Usually taking action pulls me f... |

| Don't tell me I'm overreacting... you're the one who's underreacting. Typically though, I'm in the position of being too calm/stoic on the surface. Supressed reaction... I can "overreact" depending on the circumstance. Yes, I can be dramatic, behind the stoic demeanor is a huge amount of passion tha... |

| It's been a while, I forget what I scored. I'll take it again because I've made huge progress learning more about myself. Noted: I don't like the strictly true/false selections. A "kinda" option would've been nice. Ex: "Are you a sympathetic person"... No, I am not but I can be sympathetic. Here I a... |

| I dislike small talk for various reasons but I find myself initiating more often recently. It's how I assert my friendliness, make myself approachable and show interest in people. Internally, it also makes me feel less lonely, gets me away from feeling anxious. Which in turn makes it easier to be mo... |

| I laugh... because I don't take it personally, and can't tell me anything I didn't know about myself. Heh, I can play that game too though, by diffusing any hostility or firing back (without stooping low). Pick on me, then I'll pick on you (if I'm not busy laughing). Never do these kinda situations ... |
