Would you choose the big apple or the small apple?

Post Reply New Topic

As a kid, I somtimes got the first choice when somebody gave away something. Now, as an adult, I think it was some stupid trick, played from an adult to kids. There was always a significant difference between the objects of choice.
What my wonder is, could this have had some kind of influence to the person I (you)became, as an adult? I remember I always chose the object of lesser value, cause I thought, If I take the best, someone else get the lesser.
Now as an adult, I think much the same as I did as a kid. I'm completely hopeless in matters of buying and selling, and even to take credit for something at work, or as a student, that I clearly deserved.
I also feel bad, after "winning a discussion or argue, I always come up with some soothing words for the looser. Is modesty, in certain ways, an aspie trait?
In this poll I use an apple as an example, can be anything. Hope you understand what I mean.

Small apples taste better, so I chose small apple.

Hmm... sounds noble. But also terrible.

Your statement could have come from my mouth. I agree wholeheartedly.

I don't think I compromise because I feel sorry for others. I probably do it, because I feel I am not worthy of the best.[/quote]

Maybe you are just a nice person. Don't sell yourself short

Oh o.k

Yes, I definately do this. I think it has to do with how I was raised as a child. My mother's philosophy was pretty much 'You're just a kid, you don't have any rights' so I am used to things like.. not taking the last slice of pizza becasue someone else might want it, not sitting in the front seat of a car because that's where the adults sit, ect ect ect.

Seems that now even though I am grown, I still think such things to myself. I don't matter much, I'm just a kid.

I can say I'm the opposite. I don't put my self in others shoes, so to speak, so I don't realize that someone else might want the last piece of pizza like the example above, I grab it without asking. And when someone gives me choices on what I want, I can't decide and say "I don't know" over and over until they choose for me.

Submissive personality.

Persoanlly, I'm all that. Some of it may be due to anxiety but I think most of it is personality.

At first I thought this poll was about city travel preferences:

"The Big Apple": New York

"The Small Apple": York?



I have been to both "The Big Apple" and "The Small Apple".

I did find New York very overwhelming, but exciting.

This is a tough one.

I think I probably prefer going to York for the relative peace and quiet, and the interesting Cathedral.

I'm a size queen.
Go big or go home.
