What is your general nature in life. For me I am usually fairly calm and nice to those around me, eager to help people facing issues, understanding, and constantly changing. Lately I have just been wondering about how people consider their behavior to be. Anyone wanna share? :thumbsup:
my nature would be one of a guardian or protector
i got a lot of weight to carry and people depend on me
if i mess myself up i drag down others and that cant/wont happen
i am grouchy alot and am busy all day long.
but when it is time for fun i am the guy you want at your parties
i bring the funk
sometimes i think i am a very destructive person. destructive to myself that is.
very honest, do you strive to help others at the cost of destroying yourself?Quote:

i guess i have a violent nature but i try to hide it with humor and sarcasm
its good to have a family and friends come to you for emotional help and advice, but don;t be the person lettin others mooch off of you and use you. Make sure you ain't paying for another persons lifeQuote:

You may just be letting out your less desireable aspects of your nature in less destructive way than actual physical and strong verbal violence against others. I don't really know you so I am in no place to judge you, and I am sure you are a good person. But sometimes its nice to let go of that violent nature and try to love others. :thumbsup:Quote:

Silly and whimsical
Strong enough to stand up to jerks, but I hate dealing with jerks
Right now I'm also very tired, both physically and emotionally
I'm very relaxed. I don't get upset much. I tend to keep things to myself. I'm not shy, but I don't get pissed off as much. I was pretty shy and timid towards new people when I was in high school, but I'm more outgoing now, eager to meet new people, to converse with random people. Makes like more interesting.
I completely get what your saying, I used to be pretty quiet and shy. But then I learned that when I talk to random people they are usually very friendly and have a lot to share with me. It definitely keeps repetitiveness out of my lifeQuote:

When the stress ends I get to continue feeling that way, but much less tired and more mellow and carefree.Quote:

Thats good man, it seems like you have desire for violence on the low.Quote:

Also, I was far too bright for my own good and my parents should have done more to channel my energy into physical/athletic pursuits. The good news is I grew up to be a calm, reasonable and respectful person. I could not have been easy to raise, though.
I was a trouble child too. I think that if you have a child they will be just like you were, and you'll understand how your parents felt. When your child grows up they will probably be like you, and you will have that much more in common with them. I don't really know though :thumbsup: a lot of my friends who were crazy in their youth became calm when they got older, including myself.Quote:

Kind of in the middle of change right now.
Should be interesting to see where I end up.
This actually is pretty debate, so I'll introduce.....
The Jahari Window. A model to map personality awareness. How you perceive yourself and how others perceive you are totally different!
There are four squares,
Arena -what you know what yourself and what others know about you.
Facade - What is known to you, and not to others
Blind Spot - what is not known to you, but known to others
Unknown - Characteristics you don't know about and others that don't know.
You can see from my window: Interactive Johari Window - yo I am guy's Window
I had my best friend, and girlfriend do my window, and as you can, how I perceive myself, and how others perceive me are totally different!!
Heck we can judge each other lol:
Interactive Johari Window - Mapping Personality Visibility
For me life has been a series of trials that end with me finding out more about myself. So I get what you meanQuote:

Nice so how old is your kid now?Quote:

Marking off on people just makes living harder in the final stretch of things. most would call that selfish but i don't care. i just want to live life, make people laugh, and do what i want when i want. if i'm too busy making everyone else happy how will i be happy?
I'm definitely a friendly trickster by nature
i love people and always make sure they are alright
but i cant pass an occasion to make them laugh
or confuse them or make fun of them for the sake of making them realize something
i joke a lot, tease a lot, can be a real asshole,
but im always here when you need me
relaxing and deep breathing are what I usually concentrate on
thats me in a nutshell :rasta:
I consider myself a trustworthy peaceful cannabis enthusiast. I am that I am, I am no judge, I am a man who embraces his existence.
