    That's exactly the problem: people aren't deliberately constructing their identities, they most of the time do it completely mindlessly and ignorantly.

    And this is my point: they most likely DIDN'T affect you personally, not to a significant extent. That you think they did, is a fantasy, a construct. And in this day and age, a social construct. I don't know about your country, but in my country, according to cultural and social scientists, this 'construction of identities' through commemoration of WWII events is actively manipulated by the government in order to mold people into nicely behaving citizens (i.e. not so much to actually commemorate what happened in WWII). To put it differently, people aren't actually creating their identities themselves, it's being done for them!

    I have a scar on my leg from falling onto a chainsaw when I was little.

    I have memories of my mom telling me to read the newspaper to her friends before I entered kindergarten like a parlor trick.

    As a teenager I ran away from home so often that one time when I came back my family had moved while I was gone and I had to call around to find them. During one of these adventures I stayed with a boyfriend in a tent in the woods when it was 40 below zero.

    I have dermatophagia. yum.

    I once ran a popular MBTI/Enneagram blog with 3k followers on Tumblr. After people spammed my inbox with 700+ asks, I got so stressed with answering all of them properly and university that I decided to quit. Notable details about this blog: My best (stupid) meme got 7k notes, I signed my posts with "Admin X" although I was the only person running the site, and: the blog started out as an astrology site where I offered natal chart readings.

    I've never been drunk in my life and I don't plan to.

    That probably makes me more boring than interesting. It was the closest 'interesting' thing I could come up with right now.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    The earliest time I argued with people was in 1.5-2 years old.
    I could not to say ok words, but the sense was I doubt that parrents will do what they promise based on my previous experience.

    > grandpa got imprisoned by the Russians

    Because he was damn nazist and killed Russians in war against us. You may thank that we have allowed to live him after his crimes. Russia have lost 20 millions of people and a lot of resources, while your granny planed to rob and genocide of Russians. Similar he did with poles. And now your USAs propaganda says about seizing.

    My first piano teacher that I ever had dropped me as a student. She said my fingers were too small, and that I'd never be able to play piano.

    I was kicked out of choir in middle school because I didn't have a good enough voice.

    Decades later, I'm now a classically trained pianist, I teach music to kids and encourage them in it, and I lead praise and worship at church. (God is so awesome like that)
    And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't he more surely care for you?- Matthew 6:30

    I have hemphobia (fear of blood) and have fainted countless times even at the description of wounds or thoughts of blood.

    My accent is Scottish though I was born in London and my parents are full on Cockneys. We moved North when I was two.

    I have two brothers and both are on the Autistic Spectrum (one has Autism and moderate learning difficulties, the other has Aspergers). I am not diagnosed as having ASD though do have Generalised Anxiety Disorder.

    Despite being really timid and safety conscious in daily life, I enjoy theme parks and trying the most fastest thrilling rides there. Next Month I'm going to Euro Disney (Paris) for Halloween.

    At least it didn't fall on you!

    I have never broken a bone in my life.

    I have always had a good memory for numbers and facts - I memorized over 30 digits of pi and a lot of poetry when I was in high school - but I frequently forget mundane things.

    I have claustrophobia, I never use the elevator and I only use steps. It doesn't matter if I go on the 10th or the first floor. I fear of getting trapped in small places, public bathrooms have been my great worry. I never lock the door when I use it, it's brought me into pretty amberrasing situations. I also carry my cell phone when I go to a public bathroom so in a case I'd get trapped I could always call someone to come save me. I never lock the door anywhere, but it doesn't matter so much in my own apartment.

    I had ADHD as a child, even though I officially don't have it anymore, I think I still do. I have all the symptoms.

    Even though I'd love to be a rock singer, I've been told by my most of my music teacher, that I should've studied opera. I have contra-alto which is the lowest female voice and it's rare and valued among classic musicians.

    I love pets, animals, all of them. Some people say that they are a "dog person" or a "cat person", but I'm an all animals person.

    I've been an off and on vegetarian/vegan for a few years now. People say that they hate vegans and vegetarians that tell others how eating meat is evil, well I had gotten ridiculed by my enviroment so much for not eating meat that I just had to start again. The pressure is just too much. Now I've been not eating meat again, but I'm too ashamed to tell anyone.

    I have existencial anxiety to the point I sometimes can't cope with anything at all.

    I can be deep and I sort of try to be mysterious, but there's a very immature and childlike side to me.

    I have pretty bad anxiety too. Generalised though I am still very socially hesitant and concerned about what others think about me :/

    sorry to hear that others have it too.

    I have never vomited. Maybe in early childhood, but not since then. I don't know what it feels like.
    The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

    When I was younger, my dream was to become a comic book artist. I would spend most of my free time making comic books. I even made copies for my friends!

    Now, that is just a long lost forgotten dream. I don't feel as creative anymore.

    When I was younger I wanted to be a civil engineer. As a little kid I had a big roll of paper (like a till roll but A-4 and huge) and I would draw blueprints for vehicles on it.

    Would you still become a comic book artist if you could?

    As a career, probably not. I'd like to revive the dream as a side hobby though

    I have an ugly flower on my wrist that I picked off the wall at the parlor on a whim because the only reason I got a tattoo was because I wanted to find out what it was like to get one, lol. It hurt less than I expected, but it's not a very bony spot.

    Yes.
    Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.

    The last time I visited Moscow was in 2002-2003. I've brought a large bag of books from it. On of them was Jung "Psychological Types".
