Hey! I have missed your nice avatar... well, I didn't seek for a deep conclusion this time... just it is a difficult question because wheather you are an egocentric and you lie or you are shy and don't know how to answer... :P it is amazing to see how people affront it.

As a Gemini, I often confuse myself (can't imagine how it irks other people!) by feeling and doing one thing and then, 10 minutes later, feeling and doing the exact opposite. Currently I'm much more solitary than ever before. I can talk your ear off, but I can get exhausted by large groups of people and am usually glad to return to my solitude. When trouble comes around, I tend to want to fix it right away rather than point the finger of blame. I can be very calm and collected during a crisis, but will generally need a good cry as soon as it's over. I struggle with depression and anxiety, but can also see humor in almost everything. I'm not manic, but often feel like I'm on a roller coaster with sudden drops that leave my stomach in my mouth. I am extremely empathetic and will often fight harder for a friend than I will for myself. Likewise, my empathy makes it hard for me to watch movies or TV programs which have animals in distress -- it just breaks my heart! I am a firm believer in "Hug Therapy," too. I've read that we all need three (3) hugs a day to feel good, and I try to practise that as much as is appropriate.

When something is wrong, no one can usually tell that there is anything wrong, once in a while there is someone that might guess and if they keep at me, I end up telling what's wrong or just start crying out of anger, frustration.
In an emergency, panic situation, I am usually the one that stays calm and knows what to do and don't get upset until later.
when things are going good, everyone knows, I smile, talk and joke around....otherwise, they just think I'm having a bad day.

I have two sides. My job requires that I be outgoiong and friendly. People have actually nicknamed me the 'perky puppy' because I am always talking and joking. I like to make the old people I work with laugh. So by the time I get home I am just wanting to be alone. In my private life I am a real hermit, I like to go to my 'cave' and be alone. I desire quiet, peace and solitude. I tend to be an optimistic person, and try to find some good in any situation, even if it's just to realize that bad times are lessons for my spiritual advancement. I can be reactive, something I strive to control. I have great empathy for the feelings of others. I am curious, about many subjects. I have what must be odd ways, since several of my family and friends describe me as 'eccentric'.

Difficult question! I am more of an introverted person, though I like talking to people. When something is wrong, I tend to panic first, but then my head takes over and I am in control. When something is good, then I react like a kid, cause I am very happy! It is usually just simple things that make me happy too. I think I have different personalities, depending on where I am and the language I am speaking. I prefer Spanish for the fun times, English for writing and communicating with people, but in German then I am a nobody, as I tend to withdraw and become very nervous. I guess I am more of a solitary person and my hobbies and interests reflect that. I dislike big groups of people, but love talking quietly with small groups or a tete a tete between just two!

I am someone who respect other people, that's why I also want other people to respect me. I admit that I was so so sensitive about everthing. When somebody goes wrong and I don't know what to do and with who I must talk, usually I cry and I think it really-really help. I'm absolutely and extrovert person. Always want to know new people and learn new thing. That's why you can conclude that i am a collective person

Oooh - well I don't know, but I guess I could give it a try. I am quite a calm person - cool, calm, collected, probably a typical Brit, "stuff-upper-lip", don't "do" anger, or tantrums or histrionics - can't stand people that shout, or make a noise, or wash their dirty linen in public! I like my own company - I enjoy peace and quiet, I freely admit I prefer animals to people - I have a total hatred of organised religion and religious "bigots"...... and I value my freedom and independance and free will above all things.

Like they said in Road House, I am nice until it is time not to be nice.I am a introverted, polite person.I try to be kind most of the time but if you ever cross me, you have made me your lifetime enemy. I have a hair trigger temper so I avoid things and people that will make me angry. So if you have hurt me before, I'll never acknowledge you ever again.

Hi Missak...
We haven't chatted in awhile and I hope all is well with you. Things are going well here and I continue to enjoy wandering around Mylot Land. However, with work commitments I will have less time to spend...but will always check in daily and keep in touch..but not for as many hours. This is a great place!
Anyway..I am a self-employed and run two businesses with my hubby. My passion is writing and communicating ideas and I do that with as much love and respect for others and their views as I have in my everyday life. I am a combination of a person who enjoys socializing...but love my own company and creative pursuits so much that I never feel lonely even when I am alone.
I handle conflicts by standing back and placing myself in the observer position. I try to figure out whether the issue is theirs...or mine. If is theirs I do not add much to it other than saying..."You are entitled to your opinion...but I don't see it that way so we may as well drop it." If the issue is mine I use the fact that they have pushed my buttons to learn something new about myself.
In the work I do within personal and spiritual development I hold to the belief that we are all here to learn experiential lessons predicated by the cause and effect of our choice-making. I strive to the best of my ability to remain in a position of neutrality rather than getting into polarized right/wrong judgments.
After all when all is said and done whatever our beliefs are they were shaped by others...society, culture, religion, educators, parents...and I choose to constantly challenge the rules and regulations within my outer world as I ask for the ability to live by the Golden Rule whether I agree with others or not. I believe in the healing power of love...and with enough love for each other within the One Song of our energetic connection we could resolve all our human rights conditions.
Oh yes...if only...imagine...what a world we could have. So in a nutshell I am an introverted/extrovert that is interested in making a positive impact in this world by living with an attitude of loving, acceptance and respect for differences.
So you asked...and now you know how I describe myself. Walking my talk..that is my larger life goal!
Cheers,
Raia
