Member Questionnaire 1 (summer)
What is beauty? What is love? Beauty is something that goes into our subjective tastes. For me, classical art and Japanese culture are beautiful.
Love is the result of hormones. Love is a theme in movies that I like the most
I think that love is taking care of each other, remembering each other and spending time together.
What are your most important values? The most important for me are justice, tolerance, freedom, sense of humor
Do you have any sort of spiritual/religious beliefs, and why do you hold (or don't) those beliefs in the first place? I do not identify with any religion at this moment. When I was younger, I used Protestantism, Buddhism, and new age. Now close to Spinoza's views.
Opinion on war and militaries? What is power to you? I am not interested in politics and have little knowledge about wars, etc. But still, I do not support warfare.
What have you had long conversations about? What are your interests? Why? I love talking about my interests. I could talk about Queen, Freddie Mercury or Depeche Mode all the time. I also like to talk about psychological topics. With a friend, we can talk about socionics for hours.
I also like to watch people, look for some funny behaviors.
Interested in health/medicine as a conversation topic? Are you focused on your body? I'm only interested in health when I'm starting to get sick. Then I become even a freak in this topic. I am looking for something on the Internet that can hurt me and I keep telling others what I have. But under normal circumstances, my health does not take me so much.
What do you think of daily chores? Sometimes I like them sometimes not, depends on the mood. Usually, I prefer someone to do it for me.
Books or films you liked? Recently read/watched or otherwise. Examples welcome. I love romantic comedies, melodramas and psychological films. Recently watched and read: "Pride and Prejudice", "Gone With the Wind", "Jane Eyre", "Girl, Interrupted", "Wuthering Hills" and "The Master and Margarita"
What has made you cry? What has made you smile? Why? I cried on the show where the girl was rejected by others. I was laughing at absurd videos on yt.
Where do you feel: at one with the environment/a sense of belonging? I think I felt that way together with my two friends in class when I went to school.
What have people seen as your weaknesses? What do you dislike about yourself? I think weak physical coordination, shyness, oversensitivity to criticism and lack of taste in dressing up.
What have people seen as your strengths? What do you like about yourself? I do not know. Maybe.. I do not give up easily.
In what areas of your life would you like help? I would like to have better taste, be more confident and...and be able to cook!
Ever feel stuck in a rut? If yes, describe the causes and your reaction to it. -
What qualities do you most like and dislike in other people? What types do you get along with? I like the most courtesy, openness to news. I also like people who are withdrawn. I like tolerant people. I do not like aggressive, arrogant, unpleasant people. Maybe more of which I do not get along: SLE, LSI
How do you feel about romance/sex? What qualities do you want in a partner? On the one hand, I think it's beautiful, but on the other hand I'm afraid of the limitations associated with this. I like when a partner has a sense of humor similar to mine, he can create a comfortable atmosphere and be intelligent
If you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what measures would you take, and why? I'm afraid that I may somehow affect my child's mental health in the future. I'm afraid that I will not be able to deal with his needs. I would be looking for advice on the internet, I would ask experienced mothers for advice.
A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward and outward reaction? It depends. Sometimes everything burns in me and I try to defend my reasons, but usually it's not good for me.
Describe your relationship to society. How do you see people as a whole? What do you consider a prevalent social problem? Name one. I do not have much contact with the public. I have my small group of friends and that's enough for me. I think that people as a whole are different. It is difficult to determine what is the society as a whole, because too many people, groups are involved. The problem is that people often tend to follow the majority without thinking.
How do you choose your friends and how do you behave around them? I usually see people with whom I want to be friends. If someone behaves in a similar way, I choose him. Among close friends, whom I trust, I am often cheerful, I talk about funny things, I am fooling around, I discuss common issues. Among friends who I feel less comfortable with, I am usually withdrawn a little, laughs but not so much.
How do you behave around strangers? It depends on what the human is. If he/she looks like a nice person then I'm open and I try to get to know him/she. If he/she looks like an unpleasant person, then I prefer not to speak.
