Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I’m looking for a roleplay following the romance and drama between an unlikely couple. The classic starcrossed lovers trope. I particularly like roleplays involving imperfect characters with dysfunctional love lives where we can explore their emotions.
I’ve got two fairly developed ideas that I’m hoping to flesh out with someone creative.
The first being an arranged marriage between two ambitious courtiers of rival houses. Yes, I’m throwing in the enemies to lovers trope too. A union encouraged by the King to bring an end to a dynastical feud. Both characters have their strengths and weaknesses. They’re both loyal to their houses rather than each other, at least to begin with. (ASOIAF: Blackwood - Bracken or Frey/Lannister - Stark)
The second is a story where they’re divided by social class. This one’s a bit more developed since I’ve got a starter written and a rough character idea in mind. It follows the love story of between a noble (YC) and a commoner. Childhood friends with romantic feelings who were driven apart as they grew older, and their difference in class became more of a barrier. They’re brought together when the commoner is accused of a crime of some sort. I’m hoping for something closer to slice of life for this one. Or it could be like Justinian and Theodora for you history buffs.
A bit about me and what I’m looking for:

• 26F, active mostly in the evening (GMT/BST).
• Looking for good, concise writing in third person. This means no purple prose, no excessive detail that break the flow or make conversation unnatural.
• I prioritise world building and creating complex, believable characters with imperfections above everything else.
• I prefer active and quick writers with a bit of free time.
• I only roleplay on Discord.

I was just minding my own business when the police and my neighbors started yelling at me from my VRBO I was living in along with my rental from Uber to do Uber Eats and I could just not stop hearing the horrible things they were saying.
They kept telling me to come outside. I did not trust them because you should never trust the police unless you can pay them off. So I just sat in my VRBO and let my Uber rental expire.
So now I don't have a car for Uber Eats and lost my job.
I was thinking about working for a tech company but I don't exactly know what I would do that they would pay me for. Maybe I could just yell at people. I am sure there are plenty of people that need to be yelled at on the daily in order to be efficient workers. I am good at yelling at people and I feel like this would be an excellent opportunity for me to channel the negative energy that encapsulates all of my consciousness into something that makes money.
Since I lost one of my jobs I could not afford VRBO anymore. AirBNB just banned me permanently because my cat puked so that is not an option. So I found a house to live in.
Don't ask anything about the house.
So as a protected native Austinite I live now in a reserve especially made for people like myself.
It is not a mental hospital.
They don't let you have a computer in the hospital.
So how am I supposed to find a tech job.
I have experience with WordPress and using LLM's to write content for me.
I had hope to be a prompt engineer but they renamed the position to Professional Plagiarist on Indeed.
Wait, I could just work for Indeed.
Do you think they would let me yell at and fire people for them?
I hate people enough that I don't mind making people cry or jump off the bridge after giving them "refreshments" laced with vitamin K.
C'mon there has to be something in Tech that I can do. I am not a bro. So I guess I can't be a tech bro.
I don't identify as a tech bro, rather a tech reject.
I have experience in Adobe Creative Cloud.
I used to take a picture of my painting and my cat every day and edit them together in AfterEffects to post to Instagram. That led to nothing. Absolutely nothing. But I learned how to use AfterEffects.
I animated a two hour film by myself. Should that not count as a tech job?
I know how to use Cody to write code in VSCode and have a lot of experience with Curl, Linux and CLI. I have used GCloud in the past to spin up an instance.
I know how to do things. I know how to make a drop shipping website. Of course everyone knows they do not make money.
I have been banned from almost all the work from home sites that have work available. I finally got enough rejects to go below 99% on Amazon mechanical turk and was banned from prolific and remotasks.
I know how to make a chrome extension. I know some HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python and R. I have worked fine-tuning large language models.
And yet I can't find work.
Probably because of the yelling and screaming.
I need to stop that.
Or get a job that pays me to do that.
TLDR: I need a job that lets me yell at tech bros.

The allure of summer vacations and festive holidays undeniably boosts the hospitality industry. But what about the off-season? Does it have to be a time of empty rooms and dwindling bookings? Absolutely not! With a strategic and creative hotel marketing plan, the off-season can be an opportunity to attract new guests, generate revenue, and strengthen your brand reputation.
Here at Grow My Bookings, a leading hotel marketing agency, we understand the challenges and opportunities unique to off-season marketing. This blog equips you with a comprehensive plan to transform your off-season from sluggish to successful.
Understanding Your Off-Season:
The first step is to clearly define your hotel's off-season. While some locations have distinct off-seasons (think beach resorts during winter), others might experience a dip in bookings during specific weekdays or shoulder seasons.

• Analyze Past Data: Review past booking trends to identify periods with lower occupancy rates.
• Consider Location & Weather: Factor in your location's weather patterns and typical tourist seasons.
• Benchmark Competitors: Research how your competitors approach off-season marketing.

Crafting a Winning Off-Season Marketing Plan:
Once you've defined your off-season, it's time to craft a targeted marketing plan. Here are key strategies to consider:
1. Target the Right Audience:
During peak season, you likely cater to a broader range of guests. But for the off-season, focus on attracting specific guest segments with interests that align with your hotel's offerings and the off-season experience. Here are some potential off-season target audiences:

• Business Travelers: Attract business travelers with competitive corporate rates, special packages with workspace amenities, and convenient weekday booking options.
• Local Residents: Offer staycation packages for local residents seeking a relaxing getaway close to home. Partner with local businesses for discounts at restaurants or attractions to create a well-rounded staycation experience.
• Weekend Warriors: Entice weekend getaways with romantic packages, family-friendly deals, or themed weekend events (think fall foliage tours or cozy winter retreats).
• Digital Nomads: Cater to the growing trend of remote work by offering attractive long-term stay packages with discounted rates, co-working space access, and high-speed internet.

2. Leverage the Power of Content Marketing:
Create engaging content that showcases the unique appeal of your hotel and surrounding area during the off-season. Here are some content ideas:

• Blog Posts: Write informative blog posts highlighting the advantages of visiting your location during the off-season. Feature articles on local events, hidden gems, and seasonal activities guests can enjoy.
• Social Media Marketing: Share captivating photos and videos showcasing the beauty of your hotel and surrounding area during the off-season. Utilize targeted social media advertising to reach your chosen audience segments.
• Email Marketing: Develop targeted email campaigns promoting off-season packages and highlighting the unique benefits of visiting during this time. Segment your email list to ensure your message reaches the most relevant audience.

3. Create Enticing Off-Season Packages:
Develop irresistible off-season packages that incentivize bookings and highlight the value proposition of your hotel. Consider these components:

• Competitive Rates: Offer discounted room rates to attract guests price-sensitive during the off-season. Bundle room rates with value-added amenities, such as free breakfast or spa treatments, to heighten the package appeal.
• Themed Experiences: Create themed packages that cater to specific interests, such as "Wine & Dine Weekends" partnering with local wineries, or "Fall Foliage Escape Packages" including guided hikes or scenic drives.
• Local Partnerships: Collaborate with local businesses to offer bundled packages that include activities or experiences relevant to the off-season. This showcases your hotel's integration with the local community and creates a more immersive guest experience.

4. Optimize Your Hotel Website & Online Presence:
Ensure your hotel website is optimized for off-season marketing. Here's what to consider:

• Highlight Off-Season Activities & Amenities: Showcase the activities and amenities your hotel offers that are particularly appealing during the off-season.
• Update Your Website Content: Modify your website content to emphasize the benefits of visiting during the off-season. Include clear information on off-season packages and promotions.
• Optimize Your Hotel Listing: Ensure your hotel listing on online travel agencies (OTAs) and travel booking platforms is updated with accurate information about off-season rates and packages.

5. Embrace the Power of Public Relations (PR):
Reach a wider audience by generating positive press coverage about your hotel and the off-season experience. Here are some strategies:

• Press Releases: Issue press releases announcing exciting off-season packages, themed events, or partnerships with local businesses.
• Media Outreach: Proactively reach out to travel journalists and bloggers specializing in your region or target audience. Highlight the unique off-season offerings and experiences your hotel provides.
• Social Media Contests & Giveaways: Run engaging social media contests or giveaways that encourage user-generated content and promote your off-season offerings.

Hello!! I'm Amélie, but you can call me Amy or Am!! I'm 13 years old and I'm from The Netherlands! I'm looking for a penpal around my age to exchange creative letters and cards with, full of stickers, drawings, kawaii stuff, poems, .... I speak Dutch, English and a lil bit of French, I'm trying to learn French more, German, Chinese, Polish and Arabic! My hobbies are spool knitting, gaming, watching TV, writing, singing, building LEGO sets, drawing, colouring mandala's, learning new languages, and readinggg!! I aswell like to get to know new people, and I like kawaii / Y2K / aesthetic stuff!!!
that's a bit about me, I really hope I find a penpal!!!!

Oh how sad I am. I've been planning this escape for years. And now that I'm finally here, with one more night on my... not-really-a-bed, just a... mat-on-the-floor with blanket and pillows...
I sob. Sob and cry and wonder why I feel all this pain. I'm the one who wanted to escape. To live my life to the fullest. To do all the things I love. To draw and sing, to wear my hair down and bake, to make friends and wear cute dresses, to have cats and be with the man I love and oh gosh how lucky I am that he loves me dearly and wants the best for me. He and his mum supported me so so much. My friend too. They are my chosen family.
But... why am I feeling so horribly sad...? Its because I'll never see my parents or siblings again. I feel so bad for my mum because she allows people to use her and by that I mean she does everything for my grown ass siblings. And my extended family all use her a lot too.
About my mum.
Sadly, shes religious. Prays constantly. Always telling us to pray. Donates money to needy. Forced me to pay zakkah. Buys counters to constantly recite, it's like digital tasbeehs and stuff to use wherever without looking or counting. You just press and then you get your number on a screen. She takes care of her mum sometimes. Often cooks for her. She often watches her sisters kids because her sister, my aunt... is ever so social and kinda just expects my mum to baby sit them. My mum cooks almost every day. Usually every other day because my dad refuses to eat old food. And when I say cook I dont mean something easy like whip up a pasta. I mean dishes that take at least more than 2 hours to cook. Mind you though, hes a chef and does cook sometimes in the house. But since he works he expects mum to cook and honestly if I were a man, I'd want that too. To come home from work to good food. Anyway...
I have siblings. One of which is a piece of good for nothing shit. Uses and abuses mum psychologically. For real. It's so sad. And mum enables this shit because she believes it's not actually my siblings behaviour. It's apparently a ghost. My other siblings are not of legal age yet. I will miss them terribly. They... will have to grow up a lot. Mum does a lot for them. Cooking. Cleaning. Honestly, I dont cook because mum does it. Nor clean. I avoided being with mum and basically without realising it, did that rock technique with her. Where I basically diffuse the conversation and stuff because I hate talking about Islam and just avoid being around her and stuff. I forgot what the technique is actually called.
I love her. Even if I'm sure her love for me is conditional. I wish to keep contact with her. But I worry about her health. Diabetes and general pressure issues. If she dies, my dad wont be able to take care of my siblings. My dad will cook for them and teach them how to travel to school and stuff. But besides that, he wont know about their medical conditions or history, he cant speak much English just some. He is smart but also not really? It's weird.
Mg siblings and mum is who I worry for most. The two siblings who arent over 18 yet. I dont care for the other one because they ruined my life and became such a horrible person. I get some of it is mental health issues so they need help but I'm speaking very specifically of their character before all this began.
Anyway. I escape tomorrow. Today is technically my last day ever with my family. I do love them. I wish to text or call them from time to time but I do think a period of no contact may be necessary for both them and myself to kind of... let this choice I made sink in. I've bought games for my younger siblings where we can chat and hopefully they keep this private. I do believe that they may understand me when they reach a certain age and be more accepting than my parents.
In my letter, I'm not sure if I should say I left because I wanted to live my life or because "God guided me" and play that card. I'm semi atheist. Sometimes I believe in God and other times I dont. Right now km not really sure what I am so I say semi atheist. I will cry and cry and cry after I've made it to my partner. He and his mum will hold me close and tell me I'm safe and loved and deserve to choose the life I want. I have support. We are gonna do so many things together that we couldn't before!
I'm an artist. In so many ways. I had to hide my art with my family. With my partner, he wanted them all displayed. For Christmas, I drew portraits, more like fantasy portraits of him and his mum and his cat. They still have it displayed in their house. It warms my heart. I draw, sew, sculpt with clay, paint sometimes, do traditional pencils drawings with colour and without, digital art, pixel art for working on my game, make plushies and I plan to sew my own dresses, I like styling my hair although my hair is pretty damaged sadly, no not with heat products, more of just unhealthy hair. What else...? I just love making things with paper like water fall cards and spinning cards and pop up books. When I confessed to my partner, at the time he couldn't be with me because he wanted to make sure he was ready, I made him a well designed pop up book. It had stuff we liked, camping, gaming, sleeping, loads of pop up and sliding elements. Then on our 1st anniversary, I made him an explosion box. He was absolutely in shock as he opened it over Skype. I plan to make an even better gift for next time. For Christmas he attempted something similar, he is very creative too. He made me a book of himself. Like a little toy for my to hold around with funny comments and his cat kinda touring me through his weak knee joints Haha and his heart which loves me 100% and his little nose which if I boop, doesnt do anything, nor the the little mole he has on his face. All these drawings and details, I love it so much.
Why did I write all that... I'm trying to cope right now. I want encouragement. I'm scared. But I know I have to do this. I dont want to cry or be sad. I wanna be happy because I have this opportunity to run away move out and be free. I've saved and saved enough for at least a few years. But I'll be getting a job in the new country after I learn the language officially. By going to school to learn the language I'll keep myself occupied and busy. At my partners house we will be playing games ans cuddling and making Lego stuff and drawing and going for walks and watching films so I know I'll be happy.
I just also know I'll wonder how my family are and worry those thoughts will eat into my happy time. I dont know how to go about this.
Please... I wanna move out on happy terms. I deserve to live. To think 7 years ago I was going to take my life because I prayed constantly to God and he didnt seem to reply to it... and then I became an ex Muslim and found a new friend and then a another one of which who became my partner... I never would have believed if someone told me, hey in some years you'll move away from your family have a loving boyfriend and be free from religion. I'd have slapped them maybe and said shut up you liar. Get lost.
But here I am. I didnt take my life. I won. And I'm gonna win again tomorrow when I take that plane. I'm just sad about missing my family. Even if they were unpleasant at times. I still love them.
But I deserve to live my own life. I can do this. One more night on my not so very comfy floor bed.
Paper Blackstar
I will never post from this account again. For updates on my situation, possibly a tutorial of how I escape, please see my other account, The Paper Blackstar. It has one post saying that it's me, and in the comments a mod confirmed.

So, I did all the basics of math in school and I took an upgraded course before I could study comp. science at university.
I was bad at it, and Math doesn't actually interest me. The sciences never did, so it's weird I've landed myself in Computer science, and truth be told, I'm not a particularly skilled programmer either. My field of interest lie in the aesthetics, the creative, and the collaboration of thinking of, and implementing games. I did just well enough in projects that I didn't feel discouraged from the entire field, and now I still want to be a contributor in game dev. That said, I feel like math or just my inattention to detail is a problem.
During the higher education I encountered a few instances where I would tell someone "Err, so I don't actually know how to write this" and they'd say "It's just phytagoras. I can't tell you what to do." and I had to figure something out on my own to make a cube move on the screen or something, and I ended up kinda not figuring it out, and I think eventually whoever said something about pythagoras did something on his own.
And it's not like I don't know the pythagoras sentence, it's just that in practice I suck at math and barely know how to apply it. I remember some shit we drew on a blackboard but it doesn't come naturally to me to think mathematically.
But now I'm facing specific needs like, I wanna figure out how to make an eye shader, cuz I have a 3D model where I'm dissatisfied with how glassy the eyes look. But people give me math stuff to figure it out. I'll be running in circles with some design I'm trying to code until some smart guy shows me some x = y2 + i > 0 ???? math that apparently solves it in one sentence.
So I'm a bit agitated by my lack of appliccable knowledge. Do you find that Math is important to your average game work? And if I were to learn about how to develop my own shaders, is there some kind of book that could help me?

Hello! I am 21F, living in the US looking for a long term pen pal! I don’t have a preference in gender but would like to stay between my age range, (20-30). I am open to both US and international penpals!
About me: I enjoy the outdoors and am currently in school to work in conservation. I love being in nature by going on hikes and meditating or simply practicing yoga on the beach. I have a special place in my heart for the arts and always crave being creative in some kind of form. Whether its sketching, going to museums, writing, listening to music ( indie, jazz and classical are my favorites!) watching films. I also love to read, although if I’m being honest, I don’t have too much time to do so, and i love anime as well! (studio ghibli! ) Another hobby of mine is cooking and I would love someone to share or trade recipes with!
I prefer starting off through email and switching over to written letters over time. I would love to write long letters about anything and everything (perhaps little stickers or drawings as well!) and stay in touch for a long time with a box full of old letters that I can look back on when I am gray and old. :)
Please feel free to reach out if you are interested! Thank you ♡

1. Plan- Come up with an idea and the rest will follow
   
2. Have a clear structure- have a logical structure, with all points coming to answer the question
   
3. Back up your points well- include evidence to support your findings in the essay
   
4. Be creative and original throughout- be creative in your writing to grab your reader's attention
   

I've apparently done it before, but I don't remember how. I have a neat fictional script I can write in Notes. How can I add others that I've downloaded?
Most answers and questions are about finding apps with pre-approved normal English-letter fonts, but that's not what I'm looking for

Is Analysis Paralysis reall in youtube?
Many creators do not know how to course-correct when things are going badly
or even when they’re going well for that matter.
maybe you get a burst of views and then plateau and dip back down
But, don't know how to replicate GOOD DATA
they just continue to upload content without learning how to tweak or maximize results
this is why it is important for you to break free of the DREADED “analysis Paralysis”
Do not be afraid of analytics!
Once you become afraid of seeing negative results, you will soon stagnate and stop posting at all.
This obviously does more harm than good and absolutely hinders creativity.
So Start reading your CTR daily,
Start reading your AVD graph daily.
WRITE DOWN why viewers click on your video (or why not)
WRITE DOWN what engages viewers (and what not)
Once you understand this you can either replicate it or improve on it.
So don’t be afraid of analysis paralysis.
it might KILL your channel.
Hope this helps

I DONT KNOW how to tell the difference between what is a normal baseline of positive satisfaction with life, and what is hypomania. It's really causing me distress. I feel the most "myself" when I'm apparently hypomanic. My episodes aren't super extreme, but it does happen. Honestly though, the depression is much more of a problem.
When I'm feeling grey, emotionless, and withdrawn, I feel like someone else took the reins of my brain. I miss my true self like a friend that I love and haven't gotten to hang out with in a while. I like myself and I'm good company to myself, when I'm feeling alright.
I have many flaws, mistakes, and regrets. but at my best, I am generally known in my friend group as a bubbly, vivacious, and fun person to hang out with. I'm "joie de vivre" in one of my friends' phone. When I am unable to be this version of myself, I hide away from the world. My friends love and support me no matter what, but I feel incapable of human interaction when I'm depressed. I have a positive outlook in general, I keep hope alive, I feel deep gratitude often... I do my best to not have pity parties, I try to take as good care of myself as i can to get through the darkness, I know I always do, somehow. It's still so scary and disheartening.
I don't know how to discern what is "normal" and what is hypomania. It's eating me up inside. Am I who I think I am? Will I only feel normal when I'm hypomanic? If I stay on this medication, will I always feel kinda grey and never have those magic moments feeling so happy and enthusiastic and playful? I miss having fun just because, for no reason, and making my friends laugh. I miss having a really wonderful day, instead of just normal days feeling rather nothing, even when I'm doing the activities I love. :( does anyone else feel like this? How do I deal with these feelings. I just want to be happy and feel like myself. I know I don't need to be happy every day, and it's ok that life is sometimes boring and mundane. I'm ok with that, but this empty feeling sucks ass.
I know it's not healthy, and I'm not going to stop taking my meds (Haven't missed a dose since 2021). but I almost feel like I would rather suffer through depression and also have those highs, than feel this dull way for the rest of my life. I miss my fun self who cracks me up every day, is full of ideas, makes creative projects, does sweet things for other people, writes music, does spontaneous things, sucks the marrow out of life. Resigning to a duller version of life feels like a death. I'd rather suffer and continue using it as fuel for my art. How do I accept this change :( I hate it.

im going to sit for HSC this june and almost everyone i know from college is preparing or thinking about preparing what they are going to do afterwards, I have friends who talk and stress about sitting for BUET and medical admissions.
Growing up, i never once felt any sort of passion or ambitions for the highly valued public universities, thankfully my parents never pressured me or demanded anything from me, as a result I've dreams of studying abroad and creating a creative career as those are the things that has always attracted me my parents support me but they are not enthusiastic and they will still want me to give those tests at least in BUET,but i dont even know if i can manage minimum numbers to even fill up the forms.Im just shitscared of disappointing them and if they let me go abroad i want it to be because they want to not because they had to.They wont even talk about it with me.
im dreading what comes after HSC, i know for a fact that im not qualified at all to sit for engineering or medical admission tests, even if i start the preparations i know i wont be able to give it my all since its not what I want deeply. I feel extremely guilty that i dont want those things like everyone else.im writing this here bc nobody will understand this and i just need to get it out of my system,I just feel alienated and horrible that i dont want to study at a prestigious university here like my friends

Hello there! I’ve been wanting a penpal for as long as I could remember, and I’ve finally mustered up the bravery to actually find one.
A little about me: I’m currently out of school, but I plan to go back when I can afford to. I’m currently hiding in the great Pacific Northwest. My main hobbies are coffee and tea, but I also partake in leathercraft, 3D printing, cooking, photography, and TTRPGs (like D&D). I dabble in video games and movies. I also enjoy writing (mostly fantasy), and I was once an avid reader but have fallen out in the last two years. I’m trying to re-learn how to pick up a novel, though, and would love someone to talk about books, both academically and some casual fan-banter. I have a dark secret.
I would also LOVE someone with whom we could potentially send each other short stories, or maybe even a chapter a letter for a longer one. Poetry would be great, too, really just any creative writing.
I love giving gifts! Nothing big, just a trinket here and there, maybe a picture of something I liked or a small piece of art I thought you might enjoy. And lots of stickers.
I’m open to pals of any age, any location, and all walks of life. I would prefer to send a few emails back and forth before disclosing my address, but after that, I’d love to stay your penpal for time immemorial! I hope to one day have a shoebox full of old letters, a brain full of memories, and an old friend or two who I can trust to keep my mailbox full.
Feel free to DM me, send an interesting bug fact or an album you really love. Let’s build something awesome from ink and paper.

I will write up to 250 words of narration, visual cues and title suggestions.
I can also write scripts for infographic videos, website "About Us" videos or scripts for explainer videos and corporate presentations. Any style, from:
- corporate - humorous - informative - fantasy - dramatic - talking head
Day 1 will consist of me thinking up and presenting some concepts (themes or styles that you can choose from before I start writing the script). Then...
Day 2 will be me writing the script based on the chosen concept, accepting any revisions/changes and providing you with the final script.
Whether it's for YouTube, TV, your Website or Radio - I can help create a great, winning script from scratch

Hello! I'm currently working on a project with a co-author and we finally finished our first draft! Both of us are hobby writers, so we've never published our work before. I've been searching around the internet for advice on editing, but it's mostly aimed towards solo authors, since that is obviously the larger audience. Much of the advice is sound and can be applied to our work. However, there are some unique challenges that we face as a duo.
-Stylistic differences: At certain points in the draft, it's quite obvious who wrote what. Although, this may just be our opinions as the writers.
-Creative differences: We've already discussed possible rewrites, cuts, and additions to the story. So far, we've agreed on most things. But, this likely won't be the case on every occasion. What is the best way to compromise creative differences while making story edits?
-Sharing of Workload: While working on the first draft, we split our workload pretty evenly. The manner in which we wrote our story was pretty linear, with each of us working on select scenes. But, the process of editing seems to be a lot less linear that writing down the initial draft. Should different aspects of editing (i.e. story, line editing, copyediting) be divided amongst us, or should we tackle all of it together?
Any advice would be welcome, especially interviews with author duos or wisdom gained from personal experience! Thank you!

Hello! I am 20 years old and a female. I’m not very big on socializing and tend to be pretty introverted, not because I hate people but because it usually is exhausting for me. I try to look out for people and don’t like to tell anyone about my problems or feelings; I am also someone who cares a lot about people but doesn’t normally voice it, but would rather show it through gifts or acts of service. I like to pay attention to the details of things and people, and I often have a weird feeling that I can “predict” people or know how they will be/are… and so far, I’ve usually been right. I have a strong moral code and will always advocate for the underdog. I think deeply about things and tend to have a lot of empathy. I experience things and feel that I also think of things differently than most people. I have a hard time explaining my thoughts, but I’ll do my best!
I don’t have any kind of mental diagnosis that could affect my mental stability.
My upbringing was actually very positive. My family has been big on religion since I was born, but it’s something that I take comfort in and agree with. It brings purpose to my life and helps me to be the person I am. I have two parents who love me and take care of me, and younger siblings that I love dearly. I have cousins who double as my friends, aunts and uncles who have me over all the time, and grandparents that I love so, so much. Having many younger siblings did tend to get lonely at times, especially when they were younger, but it taught me independence and I do my best to take care of them. I count myself as extremely fortunate to have such wonderful people in my life.
As a job, I currently work as a barista. To be honest, I don’t really like it very much. My coworkers are very nice and I get along well with them, and I also like a lot of our regular customers, but my manager makes it a very toxic and negative environment that simply goes against my moral code. I also dislike the fact that most people that I see, I only see them in passing. I’d rather have few deep, meaningful connections that many shallow connections, if that makes any sense? I do enjoy the idea of getting to make people’s days, and I like to encourage the bashful people and love seeing sweet children, too! Both customers and coworkers tend to tell me personal stories, and I really enjoy getting to know them truly and seeing what makes them the way they are. I also tend to think sometimes that I feel a higher calling. I want to be somewhere truly helping people. I feel that I need to make a difference and positively influence people.
Spending an entire weekend by myself would be nice. I don’t NEED human contact, and can generally entertain myself without becoming bored. I do, however, find it a little depressing when it’s TOO quiet, especially since I grew up with my environment being everything but quiet. Normally, I like being near people, especially if I’m not even talking to them. Just sharing the space with someone is comforting enough for me! Overall, though, I do need to be alone frequently and tend to run away from life sometimes throughout the day. I would probably find a weekend alone to be really refreshing, so I could connect with myself and not other people.
I prefer activities where you work alone. I like to bake a lot, especially because it makes me happy when people enjoy the things I’ve made! I greatly enjoy sharing my food. I also like to read and can also write, as they both provide me with the an escape from reality at times. My favorite parts about both is understanding and connecting with the characters in the stories. If I have a favorite character, I like to think about what they think about and how they interact with the world. I feel like it’s something most people would find mundane, but I could do it all day! I enjoy being outdoors and connecting with nature, but I don’t particularly enjoy sports.
I tend to be very curious about many things. I like to know how people work. Not normally objects, but people. I find psychology to be extremely interesting, and could spend hours watching true crime investigations. If I see a stray cat, I wonder how it feels and what it has experienced. When I see a person who is upset, I wonder what happened to cause it and how I can help. I can normally tell quickly when something is wrong, and I am usually good at figuring out what I can do to help and am able to read people to understand the best ways to comfort them. It makes sense thinking that in my head, but writing it down sure makes it seem confusing!
Taking a leadership position is not my preferred route. If it falls down to me, I certainly would try hard to make sure the people working under me are happy. I’d rather make the people around my happy than the company itself. I’d like to be an advocate for their rights and happiness if anything was unfair, and I would like for us to be a “team” rather than simply a workplace. I’d like everyone to have fun at work and feel like friends and family. I know the world doesn’t work that way, but I can certainly dream, right?
In terms of coordination, I feel that I’m in the middle. I’d rather play video games than any kind of sport. I don’t have the best balance or coordination, and I don’t typically do things that involve having a good sense of either.
I feel that I am typically artistic, and have a great appreciation for art. I’m not great at drawing, but I like to write a lot. I also think it feels nice to express yourself through music. I’ve done pottery and would like to start learning to crochet. I enjoy looking at certain arts, such as music and books. My favorite art in terms of drawing is abstract art. I love thinking of the endless possibilities of what it could mean, and also wonder how the artist felt when drawing the piece.
The past doesn’t typically have meaning to me. I can be sentimental about certain things at times, but I typically focus my energy mostly on the future. I do things in my present life to prepare for the future, and I have a positive outlook on the future. I don’t like to think of the things that I find unpleasant now, because I believe in a good, happy future where the things that currently bother me will no longer be able to affect me.
I typically will jump at the opportunity to help someone, especially if they are in my family. I do my best to make people’s days, and I try to be of service as best as I can. I used to be unable to say “no”, but I have since learned to enforce boundaries and would never do something that goes against my moral code. If I have a lot on my plate and someone asks me to do something for them, I will typically tell them that I will help them when I can or if I have the time.
Logical consistency is something that I find important, but I wouldn’t mind making exceptions for certain things. I take comfort in knowing that certain outcomes will always remain the same, as I get nervous sometimes when things are unknown. Since I normally can predict what will happen with certain people or events based on prior experience, I find it both interesting and disturbing when the outcome is different.
Efficiency and productivity are not my top priorities, but I do find them important. I like to be efficient in the things I do, but I will not go out of my way to find the “best” way to do something. I like to stay a little productive so that I don’t feel as if I haven’t done anything, but I am perfectly fine with sitting around doing nothing, too. It’s peaceful. I don’t like being in a rush.
Controlling others is something I never do on purpose, but I will admit I can manipulate sometimes. I would never negatively impact someone on purpose, but I am able to manipulate a situation if I find something to be unfair. I’m especially able to do this with the way my mind sees connections between people and things, as well as the way I see into other people’s minds and understand their feelings and actions. It sounds scary but I promise, I mean no harm! :)
Hobbies I enjoy include baking, playing video games, watching videos, writing/reading, and just being around people! I like to share the things I bake, and video games are fun because I can enjoy them alone or with my family. Playing games and watching videos, whether alone or with others, is fun and stimulating for my brain in all the right ways! I much prefer to write over speak, as I feel I can convey things better and express myself through writing. Reading allows me to look into the minds of other people and I think it’s just so fun.
Learning environments are something I normally can adapt to. Whether a teacher is strict or laid back, I am normally able to perform the same way. I can understand each side and typically earn the favor of teachers no matter their teaching styles. I tend to thrive better in environments where things are on a straight path, but I do like to express myself through various pieces of writing when possible.
When I have a project, I would much prefer to start it quickly and finish it as soon as possible. I don’t typically “wing” anything, although I won’t be torn up if something doesn’t go exactly according to plan. I’d rather break things up into manageable tasks and prefer to work alone. I strategize pretty well, but for the most part, I use the strategy as a guideline and like to be creative here and there.
My aspirations are to connect with and help people. I feel a calling to do something and be somewhere that I can help people and understand them. I want to make a difference. I want to be a part of people’s passions and learn their dreams. I want to know the mundane things about them. I want to learn, but I mainly want to help.
I fear being left and not needed. I also fear being taken advantage of and manipulated. I feel that I need to work hard in order to compensate for these things. I also greatly fear having no one to turn to. Being alone is nice, but being lonely is my worst nightmare.
The highs in my life are when I can be around people who don’t drain me. That good feeling after someone tells you you’ve made their day. That feeling you get after you and your family beat the level of the game you’ve been working hard at. The feeling after you look around at your clean room. The feeling after you finally quit that toxic job, or the feeling after someone eats the food you’ve made them. For me, all of those things paired with thinking about and understanding someone’s thoughts and intentions make me happy. They stimulate my brain, and give me that “AHA!” moment.
Lows in my life typically include feeling helpless. I hate when you don’t know how to assist someone, or when all you can do is sit with them. I also hate when people are cruel for no reason. I advocate for justice according to my moral code and I stand up for people as well as what I feel is right. I hate when I think I could have done something better. When I’m upset, I become pessimistic and tend to isolate myself. I hate being stuck with individuals who are unfeeling, uncaring, or narcissistic.
I tend to daydream more than I partake in reality. I have a hard time focusing on what is in front of me, and I like to think more on the hypotheticals. I daydream and think in order to gain a deeper understanding of the world around me, but it causes me to miss some of the simple things right in front of me.
Being alone in a blank, empty room would cause me to think about a lot of things. I would probably think of how to improve myself. I might think of birthday gifts for people, or the next thing I want to cook. I could think of nostalgic things, or the problems I am currently facing in my life. I think I would mostly think on self improvement and the interactions I’ve seen between people.
Making decisions is sometimes hard for me. I normally will go with what my gut tells me, unless there is an obvious logical choice. I tend to be indecisive sometimes, and like to make decisions quickly so I don’t have to think about them anymore. I don’t normally second guess decisions I’ve made.
Emotions are a big part of my life. I like to understand people’s thoughts and feelings, sometimes to the point where I will neglect my own. My own emotions can take me time to understand, but I can read most other people easily. I base my responses to things on how others are feeling.
Agreeing with others just to keep a conversation going is something that I find untruthful. If something goes against my personal moral code, I will either leave or change the subject. I will always kindly stand up for what I believe to be right. I tend to choose my battles, but I will never agree with something that I don’t believe in my heart.
Rules, to me, are made to be followed. Sometimes, I don’t mind bending them a little bit, but I do feel that most people should follow rules the majority of the time. I feel that rules keep things in order and are an important structure in certain places and environments.
