Upon consideration...
Jun. 18th, 2007 05:12 pmQuick update since I will do the introspection thing I promised later tonight when I have time to really write it out.
I am a relatively indifferent person. I'm also a person who likes being naively happy. This is my thing. It is quite possible for pessimistic people to desire to be naively happy. I am well aware it contradicts with my profession. No, I don't know how that works exactly. When my happy bubble gets popped, I tend to either freak out and be moody for a time or outright ignore the new truth and pretend I heard/saw nothing. I don't like facing things unless I absolutely have to, mostly because in those situations I'm usually a very unpleasant person to deal with because you are forcing my hand. Control is a big thing with me. These traits have the tendency to make me both elitist and a hypocrite, two aspects of my self I have come to accept. I'm not changing them anytime soon. I do my best to ensure they don't anyone. Sometimes I fail. The major problem with this personality quirk is that it makes me very... bad at counseling. Not because I don't want to help people but more in a "I can't quite wrap my brain around why you can't see this the way I do" way. Again, that elitist streak. So I apologize to anyone who's even gotten the feeling I don't care about something or was trying to push my view onto yours. I'm just extremely non-confrontational and always afraid I'll piss someone off. Well, outside of fandom. Because then I WANT to piss people off. This doesn't mean I ever will refuse to listen to someone who just wants to talk. Just realize my suggestions are likely to suck.
