So as I explain in the video I made a 1 hour video where I answer all the questions in the questionnaire that my computer didn't save because it didn't have the memory to do so. So I answered a few of them in a 20 min video to give you an idea of my mannerisms etc. Side note: I typed as an EII but my god I didn't realise how much I fidget and move around lol
Some questionnaire q's I didn't answer in the video but I thought were maybe useful to write out are:
What are some recent conflicts you've been in and how to you respond to conflict and insults?
The most recent conflict I've been in is with my mom who I generally don't like going to for advice anymore because whenever I go to her I want her to listen and talk to me about the issues but instead she goes full mom and tries to solve everything for me. Recently she went over my head and did something I asked her not to do to solve a problem for me becuase she thought it was what was best and it really bothers me because 1) I clearly asked her not to and 2) it makes me feel incompetent or like she thinks I can't handle things on my own. I respond to conflict and insult terribly. Like in this example I had a well thought out response that I just sort of flopped and I had absolutely no impact (she just thought I was sad in general rather than angry at her specifically, like I'd had a bad day or something). I very rarely get angry and find conflicts draining and tend to avoid them as much as possible. I don't like political arguments as I get too emotionally involved and worked up. I'll stand up for my friends but that's about it in terms of me confronting people.
What are your weaknesses? What criticism do you often face from others? What do you dislike about yourself?
Organisation, keeping my life in order. I touch on this in the video but for more evidence - you can see a white board behind me which is my only way of tracking what needs to be done. Without it I'm useless because my mind is so scattered. I also haven't updated it in over a week, to give you an idea of where I'm at. Often I'll meander through life making it up as I go along, hit a crisis point, suddenly have a burst of productivity where I make an excel sheet, get everything in order etc and then go back to messy normality.
What do you think of kids?
I generally am not into kids except in small doses. They love me though - I think because I'm a bit ridiculous and dress weird. Last christmas my cousin's kid loved me because he gave me a lego set to build and instead of following the instructions I built it all wrong (deliberately, for comic effect) and he laughed for ages and couldn't understand how I'd failed at basic instructions (and took great pride in showing me how its done - caregiver in the making?). But I couldn't deal with them daily. The idea of parenting seems terrible to me because you have them EVERYDAY and have to mould your life around them. For 20 years. And then they fuck off and complain at you for trying to help them haha.
Any others not answered hmu and I'll answer them in video or type.
