Picture Perfect Personality

I saw a psychologist today.  I think I’m normal.  Well, as normal as it’s possible for anyone like me to be, and who knows what that means.  That’s kind of how we talked.  I found out it was impossible to exlain how I actually FEEL about stuff without getting completely choked up.  I’m very smart at knowing how I’m supposed to feel, and I act like that’s how I actually feel.  But it ain’t necessarily so.  And those repressed emotions have to surface somewhere, somehow.  And they do so in the form of anger or tears. Quickly surpressed.  God, what am I talking about, I’m a mess!  But that’s okay.  I learned today that it’s okay to be sad and worried and even angry.  I must give myself permission to accept that however I feel is legitimate and to let myself express those things.  Except I have to draw the line at homicidal, which I’m pretty sure I can manage.  So there.  That was well worth the money. 

Perhaps I could have found out just about as much on the picutre presonality application on facebook and saved myself the drive downtown.  Here’s the results of that:

Temperament

Flexible

Nothing seems to bother you – you sail through life crisis free. It’s not that your life doesn’t have its ups and downs, it’s just that you handle everything without unnecessary drama and antics. You approach each day fresh, not worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. You are confident that you can handle anything that comes your way and experience has shown that you are absolutely right about this.

Interests

Simple

You are continually pursuing a simpler and less complicated life – you don’t allow yourself to fall victim to all of the “should do’s” that society continually bombards you with. You are thoughtful about your life choices and think in terms of yourself, others and the world in which we live. You have a great sense that we are part of something much bigger and we must be good to others, if we want others and the world to be good to us.

Amusement

Thoughtful

You are easily stressed out and overwhelmed – you need to take care of yourself first and foremost. Because you tend to be self reflective, you know your limits quite well and must remember to not exceed those limits. When you overwhelm your life with obligations and responsibilities, you tend to shut down and go into yourself even further. Take some time to find your serenity and kick back your feet.

Passion

Traditional

Your notions about romance are viewed as unrealistic by many, but don’t let that stop you. When you think of romance, you think of huge gestures of commitment, sacrifice and love like we see in the movies. Flowers, chocolate, and wine are just some of the ways to your heart. You want to feel loved and treasured by your partner and you expect to be courted, admired and hotly pursued. You long for old fashioned dating.

They had me right up until the “hotly pursued” bit.  I’m way too lazy to want to put up with that kind of nonsense.  The rest of the passion thing I could learn to live with.  And all that stuff that came before?  I really can’t disagree with any of it.  Wow.  Time to find my serenity.  I think that should be everyone’s top priority and fervent wish.
