Tell me about yourself I'm a person driven by passion. If passion is gone then I have a hard time to do something. I don't care about money, food, or the like. If passion exists then I have a reason for living.
What do you study or do for a living? How did you come to do that? What do you like or dislike about it? I'm currently in high school in which the curriculum specializes in the Humanities and Social Sciences. I've chosen it because the social sciences interest me and that would've dreamed to be either a linguist or anthropologist and if I would work in a specialized field in one of these I prefer field work or theoretical linguistics/anthropology to aid my liking for a sense of discovery and learning about things concerning humanity.
I'm currently learning what I can from linguistics.
What are your values, and why? I tend to have a value of equality. I think it's heavy enough that I find the concept of family, in a certain, sense odd as I see my neighbour, a random stranger, and my father as equal persons and the tiny bubble which my family is contained in starts to blur. This continues until I reach a point where I proclaim, "I am a citizen of the world." I think this is because of the way I try to look at ethics, to be stripped away and (I think this sounds cheesy)be a bird looking at everything from above. And when I do this I see that no one is special just for being born.
I also tend to not believe in norms and is the same reason why weird to me, has no meaning except for the negative connotation it has in others. And when someone describes someone else as negatively weird I can't help it but think that they can't see the big picture and know that what is weird to them may be normal to someone else or at another time and if it never does, "Does it matter?"
What else do you do on a daily basis? What are your interests and hobbies? Why do you do them? I hobbies are reading or dancing. I read because I just want to learn things and be better equipped for academia.
I fell in love with dancing, at least freestyle dancing, as it feels very exciting and fun. There is just this ecstasy of listening to music, thinking of moves and concepts. I, however, find drilling moves and timing very tedious because they are repetitive.
What do you look for in friends? In romantic relationships? I want friends who love to debate, I find it exciting and anyone who doesn't want debate (unless they aren't aware of friendly debates) is unwilling to change. I also would prefer someone who could discuss random stuff that I think off and those that they have, too.
The same could be applied to romantic relationships.
What conflicts have you encountered recently with other people? Why did they happen? Which kinds seem to happen on a regular basis? I don't know a lot of people and generally avoid conflicts. I got in a verbal fight with my father after debating something.
How would your friends describe you? My friend says I'm hard to understand and if I would guess what they think, they would probably say I'm weird and not great in making relationships.
What are your weaknesses? What criticism do you often face from others? What do you dislike about yourself? People criticise me for being weird, which I don't think is criticism. Some would say I'm really quiet. I would criticise myself for being to afraid to approach people, for not knowing how to deal with relationship problems, and for having low social skills.
In what areas of life can you manage well on your own? In what areas of your life would you like help? I'm good at grasping ideas some might find difficult. However, I'm not doing great in school because I don't see any motivation in doing so. I honestly don't care if I'm the highest ranking in my class or the lowest. I still would like to be taught motivation in this aspect of life.
I also want help in interpersonal relationships
What things do you find to be a chore? What things do you enjoy more than others? I find studying outside of your interests as a chore, connecting with strangers, and repetitive actions. I think I enjoy reading random things on the internet more than other people.
What goals, aspirations, or plans do you have for the future? How did you come to have them? I currently dream of my dream jobs and hopefully create a sizeable contribution to the humanities and/or social sciences.
If you had enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life without working, what would you do with your time? I would still prefer to work in academia.
What traits do you find endearing that others might dislike? What traits are considered positive/neutral by others but tend to annoy you? I like people who do not submit too readily to the norms. They take time examining the action, belief, or idea, stripped of cultural and historical bias and enjoy being different if the examination tells oneself that it is more preferable or as preferable as the norm.
I get annoyed when someone's argument is just that everyone does it or it's just the norms you have to follow it.
What kinds of things do you do to manage and/or beautify your environment (your room, your house, etc.)? What do you think of daily chores? I think daily chores are exhausting. I usually leave things as they are. I don't see any incentive to fix one's bed when it is just going to be ruined a night later.
How do you behave around strangers? I usually just stay shut and not interact with them unless they make the first move.
How do you react to conflict? What do you do if somebody insults or attacks you? I'll debate with them. See what they believe and challenge it. If it turns out that they're right. I'll accept my defeat and be on their side.
What is one common misconception that people have? Explain why it is wrong. I really don't know. If I have to give an answer, maybe, that norms are a reliable source of data.
What did you do last Friday? I don't keep track. Probably reading, dancing, watching youtube or anime.

What is your biggest accomplishment? I don't think I have real achievements. Maybe, the fact that I have learned how to do some linguistic experiments and find some small interesting things about language while I do that.
What is something you regret? Not being as outgoing when I was a kid since I don't know how to do so now.
Who do you admire, and why? I don't really admire any specific person but if they has to be one, any scientist especially social scientist or dancers (especially those who dance to Popping.)
What's been on your mind? Has anything been worrying or concerning you? What problems have you encountered lately? I'm anxious that I will die alone.
What are your religious or spiritual beliefs and why do you hold them? I'm an agnostic. I gave up the idea of a Christian god as I see many problems with it. Agnosticism seems to be the most rational choice and I am currently assessing a proof of Atheism which attempts to disprove the infinite God by the premise that everything that exists is finite, therefore none is infinite.
What are your political beliefs, and why? To what extent do you care about politics? I align more with the left. I also am in favour of cultural activism and language revitilization as well as empowering minorities.
Would you ever be interested in starting a business? Why or why not? What role would you play in it? What kind of business would it be? NEVER. I think I'll be stressed managing people and I don't see why I would start a business.
What kind of work environment do you prefer? What do you look for in a job? I'm looking for academic jobs.
What is or was your favorite school subject and why? Probably the one from last year, "Disciplines and Ideas of the Social Sciences." I taught us introductory concepts and the nature of the different social sciences and I love it just for that.
How do you approach responsibility? What do you tend to expect of others? I won't say I'm responsible and I don't really expect it from anyone, in fact, it never crossed my mind until I read the question.
Where did you go on your most recent vacation? What did you do there? How did you like it and why? I never really have been to vacation but if I was in one I would probably like the uniqueness of a place, it's history, historical landmarks, culture, unique food, way of life, etc.
What were you like as a kid? How have you changed since you were a child? I'm a very curious kid. My parent tell me that when I was young, I always ask "Why?" endlessly. They extend this fact to the current day.
What was your high school experience like? I feel like an outsider.
Talk about a significant event from your life. I don't like anything in my life is significant, they all seem equal or of too little value.
Do you like kids? Why or why not? I don't like kids in general. My past experience with them is that they're tiresome. I've only encountered few non-exhausting kids.
