Hey what’s up!! I thought this would be fun (for me anyway lmao). I’ve known my type (cognitive functions) for a long time now and always wanted to try this.
• How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself. 21. Agender (but you can call me a girl idc, point is I’m a massive lesbian).
The current phase in my life I’m in is dictated by a very flirtatious attitude, I’m very open nowadays and don’t hide my attraction to people. I enjoy getting to know others and learning about them, and sharing myself in turn. I’m honest to a fault, which is both a good and a bad thing (I don’t keep secrets well but I’m always frank about my emotions and don’t ever hide anything from the people I trust).
I’m fairly free-spirited and am content to live my life without strict direction, I drift from project to project and just hope I get them done in gradual increments. I’m dependent on other people to care for me because of my mental illness at the moment. Despite being good at wording my feelings when I stop and think about them, in the moment I struggle to understand them or know what they are.
I love being creative and artistic and I have big ambitions when it comes to my work and expressing myself. I create stuff for me and for the people I want to reach that are like me too. It’s my purpose, if I were to say that I had one.
• Is there a medical diagnosis that may impact your mental stability somehow? ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety (all diagnosed).
• Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it? My parents allowed me a lot of freedom, but they kept me very close. They were stifling in a sheltering sense in that they kept me from experiencing the worst of life and now I struggle to care for myself properly. I’m sensitive and whenever I’m exposed to the outside world I’m like an awkward fawn stumbling on its new legs. The autism doesn’t help with my social ineptitude. I was only diagnosed in college, so the adults in my life blamed me for my inability to complete tasks and I took it very personally to direct my anger and hatred at myself.
• What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not? I’m transferring to BA Animation in college. I was in behavioral sciences previously but now moving on to a passion that suits me better, with less hard academic research involved (an art track). I’d very much like to become a competent animator one day.
• If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed? I’d find a way to distract myself. Attend to my projects. I would be lonely and craving the company of my friends and, cough, ‘special friends’ as I like to call them.
• What kinds of activities do you prefer? Do you like, and are you good at sports? Do you enjoy any other outdoor or indoor activities? I like drawing, writing, a touch of gaming though I’m not very good at that last one. I wish I could go outside more often but as it is I’m a shut-in. I am not good at sports at all, it freaks me out. Just a source of stress for me.
• How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate? I’m very curious. I love learning about my vested interests (mostly zoology) and accumulating knowledge. I’m mostly a concept and character design artist so my ideas are conceptual. I love worldbuilding.
• Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be? Nope. I am terrified of groups. Came with struggling in high school with connecting to and coordinating with others. I’m god awful at being a regular groupmate so much less a leader. As a leader I’d generally be open to listening to the ideas of others but I do really like focusing on my own ideas and bringing them to life (very idealistically, so I work better on my own I believe).
• Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity? Nope, not coordinated, but that’s mostly because of motor control problems. I’m a digital artist so I have to have a steady hand. I’ve been drawing since I was old enough to so it comes naturally to me. I doodle a lot.
• Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer. I like visual art, writing and (listening to, not creating) music. In particular I want to animate music videos to songs for fun and get involved in creating films for work. I want to get the animation industry in my country on its feet and help in developing it.
• What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them? I'm very much an in-the-present kind of gal who likes enjoying the moment. I don't think of future consequences much and I don't dwell on the past - just who I am now and what I like doing. I'm very optimistic about the future because I have a hard time perceiving risk. My decisions are made on impulse.
• How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so? I like helping others so long as I have the ability and energy to do so. I want to feel useful and I don't want to feel guilty about leaving them to suffer alone.
• Do you need logical consistency in your life? Yes. I'm always thinking about what makes sense to me and relying on reasoning, either my own or of people I trust and look up to.
• How important is efficiency and productivity to you? Not very. I'm very tired all the time because I don't control where my energy goes to, so I have to be satisfied with doing whatever I can, at my own pace.
• Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that? I don't. I don't like restricting other people usually unless I must for my own comfort. I don’t want to be an obstruction in other people’s lives and cause problems for them.
• What are your hobbies? Why do you like them? Character design, character art, animation, worldbuilding, character studies, and poetry are my main activities. I like creative stuff that involves using a computer (I'm bad at handicrafts) and exercises my mind in an artistic way. I like bringing concepts to life and pretty making fantasy into something tangible. When I game I play very chill video games that don't require strenuous effort or hardcore completionism or anything like that. I study zoology for fun too. I also talk a lot to people online and meet up with friends and hangout. Sex is nice.
• What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses? I like learning about humanities and biology. I’m not so sure about my learning style other than I probably do best with someone to monitor me to make sure I don’t go off track and do my own thing.
• How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go? Not good. My ADHD makes it difficult to break down tasks. I don’t really plan out projects and am very slow going because I keep getting distracted by other things.
• What are your aspirations in life, professionally and personally? Like I said previously, I want to become a professional animator both to improve the country’s art scene and for my own self. I want to master my craft and create things that move people and matter to them.
• What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why? I’m scared of going outside and interacting with the physical world. I hate bigoted people and they scare me too, I don’t have the mental energy to deal with people that violate my most sacred beliefs (sacred as in fundamental). I want to stay safe and happy and comforted. Going out of my comfort zone and breaking routine makes me want to cry (but I also can’t cry anymore even if I want myself to).
• What do the "highs" in your life look like? As of the moment I am in a pleasant era of my life, flirting freely with people and being very engaged with others. I create and I make art without worrying about academic pressure (since I’m in a transitional phase before returning to school).
• What do the "lows" in your life look like? Depressed. Morose, unhappy, unmotivated to do anything except panic and curl up on the bed and break down. Dissociate. Regress. I unconsciously pursue people to fill the void of not having someone to rely on and I entertain anyone who gives me attention, even if I’m not attracted to them fully.
• How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so? I have a hard time visualizing things clearly in my head without reference but I used to daydream a lot more vividly. I’m detached from what’s going on around me usually. I feel disconnected from my body.
• Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about? I fantasize about either my characters or the people I’m attracted to. I might talk to myself in my head to entertain myself.
• How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it? I don’t realize how important some decisions are until they’re made. I just do things. When I’m thinking properly I try to weigh based on reason and outside input, not trusting just myself to be logical enough as I don’t feel like I have enough life experiences as a basis for my choices sometimes.
• How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life? It takes me a long time, sometimes years when I was younger. Emotions are very important to me but I used to repress them and still suffer the after effects, not being able to cry or feel things properly in the moment. I taught myself to feel numb when bad things happen or when I’m stressed.
• Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why? I often maneuver conversations in a way that I still speak my truth without treading on other’s toes. I stand up for what I believe in when people violate my fundamental principles but I act as if I’m considering the other person’s side (when I don’t budge at all). I have to pretend to be open-minded when really I prefer thinking for myself. I don’t like adjusting for other people but I unconsciously do so when I find conflict unnecessary and tiresome. When conflict comes up that I can’t avoid with unimportant strangers I try to drift away from the source unless I have to face it head-on.
• Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why? I don’t have the energy to deal with the consequences of breaking rules. I’ve always been very complacent and blame myself when things go wrong. When I break rules, it’s because I think the institutions are stupid and unreasonable. I don’t like being restrained or my freedom taken from me.
If you have more questions, feel free to ask! Have fun :>
