I'm friendly but have not many friends
-
I don't like talking on the phone, but I talked to my boyfriend for 2 & 1/2 hours tonite and last night.
-
I'm very very blunt and up front about everything. Doesn't seem like an astonishing discovery, but I always assumed I was so nice and beat around the bush. That is until this past year I've had numerous people tell me otherwise (although in a complimentary manor). Suddenly after they pointed it out, I noticed it all the time.

I GRADUATED BEAUTY SCHOOL !!! i thought i would never get out of that hell hole !! thank you baby jesus!
-
Fred, I give you points on your first question. Way to go dude. Is that you on your avatar? Actually, looks like Bill Clinton to me. I probably need to get my eyes checked. Like FreshApples, I am a nice person but have no friends. Oh well, one of life's great ironies. Another thing, I have become really philosophical in my old age. I try to see the good in every bad situation and not sweat the small stuff. When I was younger, I was a crazy person. I guess I am like wine, I get better with time. As long as you keep me on my side and my cork doesn't rot out.
-
I am surprised that I continue to do things for others, out of good faith, only to get called names at the end, and shunned. But the new surprise is I wont do ONE more thing for sick, twisted and selfish people.
-
Points for a deep thought question. Answer: That I get discouraged so easily and have turned into such a hermit.
-
I am very controlling. I have recently taken a personality class/quiz for my job and found out that I am an eagle. I am controlling and direct. I realize that this must be true because many things frustrate me when they don't go my way. I suppose that this could be learned/inherited as ALL the women in my family are "eagles". I also have found out that I have trouble dealing with hard problems. Each year for the past three or four years something happens that makes me recede farther and farther into myself. This I have found has left me with no friends besides my htb. It hurts, and I'm trying to self heal, but it takes time and as emotionally unstable as I am time is rough.
-
i cannot understand and discribe myself.
-
I am a very, very good liar. I'm one of the most honest people you'll ever meet, but boy can I tell a good lie. I just choose not to. I am also very good at manipulating people, and I can pin point a person's weakness very quickly, and use it against them. I just... don't. I don't want to be that way, even if I am good at it, so I choose to be me, which is nicer in the end
-
That after discovering what a terrible childhood i had i am still a 'normal' person per say, and am still capable of finding a way to forgive those responsible for my terrble childhood.
-
That I am now almost 52 and am still something of a teenager inside.

That I was able to cope with something that most people wouldn,t be able to. I,m more strong minded than I thought.
-

My ability to tolerate not having time to do what I want, space to do it in, the energy to do it, or to know what truly matters to me. So, time, space, matter and energy.

How my opinion and attitudes about women has changed radically (for the better) compared to how I used to feel/believe, although I understand why I used to feel the way I did. Oh and that I found love - never expected to and it has never happened to me before. Being a non-social person, I had resigned myself to not experiencing this phenomenon even though I didn't feel I needed it. I used to get sick of hearing about it EVERYWHERE ELSE throughout my life before it hit me. It really is the greatest thing ever.

the fact that I can't explain my personality to anyone in the world (after all I am me so shouldn't I know) and the fact that I can't ever get anyone to understand what I mean or am thinking. Everyone always takes it differently. And lastly, latley I've been getting angry very easily and I've been thinking so deeply that I end up crying alot. its wierd. and Suprising. :D
-
The fact that I have reached this point in my life and am still reasonably sane (My friends and family say this is a debateable point because of my love of extreme sports) Maybe other reasons too. OH HECK who am I kidding I am as nutty as a fruitcake

I never ever ever tire of beating up my car. It's not profound, it's not deep, it doesn't take much thought to understand. But I am constantly surprised by it every time I take my 92 Camry with a lowering kit on Class IV roads. EDIT, a couple months later: I am a resilient and strong woman. I will never be broken by anyone else. Also, I have a new car better suited to my destructive whims. :-)

That as healthy as I was as a kid and as good as I had it in many respects, things could go in the opposite direction in those respects so much as an adult. And that I have been able to tolerate it for this long.

My resilience. The fact that I'm still alive.

-
That I am really great in a crisis. Clarity of mind and action. Clear all the shit out of the way and deal with the most important issues. I have seen myself (almost from above) assess and deal in accident situations, even as a child, go into autopilot and "solve" the situation with precise decision making when others are frozen or mentally collapsed around me. Strange but handy. However, just having dealt with a crisis I get the adrenalin rush and am fuzzy headed for a while and have been known to go and buy family and friends gifts to celebrate life from money I needed badly to pay bills. Oops
-
i eat a lot and im not gaining any weight...its probably because of metabolism
-
The fact that, with all I have seen and done in my life, I am not taking a dirt nap somewhere. Honestly.
-
i have confidance in me that i never believed i could have!
-
Honestly, I think the thing that surprises me most is my ability to give someone new a chance as far as trusting is concerned. I have been stomped on over and over and I always thought that I'd become hardened and unable to trust anyone, but when I meet someone new, I am actually able to give them a single chance. A single chance to prove to me that they are trustworthy! =) Not only this, but after I've gotten out of a bad relationship and feel I may never feel that way again about someone, I end up falling head over heels for another guy. What can I say? I'm a resilient lil' booger!
-
I am very matured for my age. My mates (usually 1 yr older) would be thinking of going to town and getting piss drunk, I would be thinking about driving safely and not driving when drunk. They will be thinking of random one night stands, I will be thinking of STDs etc. . They think I'm a psycho lol

-
how well i have adapted to all the different types of people and stereotypes in high school. it's horrible, but at least i got used to it.
-
That I wound up being the diciplinarian in my household. I'm still a kid at heart myself! I firmly believe in the 5-second rule and I frequently give both my kids "wet willys." And yet, I'm the one that winds up doling out the time-outs when things get dicey. Haven't had to do it often. Luckily my 5 yr. old seems to have developed a pretty good sense of right and wrong...and I don't punish curiosity.

That the nerdy high school kid who was socially inept has become confident and assertive. Not only that, but that people appreciate me for more than just my brain, but for emotional qualities. I've never been one who's felt comfortable in the realm of emotions, but somehow I manage to be supportive to those who are.
-
I am a petite, mild mannered lady, but during my life, I'd say my strength (emotional and physical) has surprised me most.
