Alright, let's continue with this:
I have a very strong personality. I have high standards for others and higher standards for myself. I’m responsible and always work hard. I pride myself on my ability to keep my promises and follow through on my word. I am very independent and I don’t like to rely on others for things. However, I know when I am unable to do something on my own and will ask for help if necessary. I have many goals for my life and myself and I am determined to reach those goals regardless of obstacles or setbacks. I am very organized and like to keep things in their place. I like to be in control of the situation and I don’t like surprises. I tend to be straightforward, honest and sometimes aggressive with others. In group situations, I take the leadership position, not by choice, but because I worry that no one else is as capable as I am. I have no problem standing up for my beliefs, but rarely lose my cool in public. I am not a very social person but I have a few very close friends to whom I am completely loyal. I get nervous in social settings and have a hard time relaxing and getting to know new people. However, I have no problems dealing with people on a professional level, and rather enjoy delivering presentations to superiors. I feel like I can relate better to individuals older than I am. To me, my peers often seem childish and unprofessional. I am objective in making decisions and try not to let my personal feelings affect any choice. I like to consider and participate in abstract discussions. I enjoy debating with others on a theoretical level and feel I am more than capable of expressing my thoughts as words. I don’t like to follow trends but instead prefer to make my own path. I sometimes do things others don’t expect just to confuse them. Sometimes I feel like I don’t get the attention and recognition I deserve. I want to be acknowledged for my accomplishments and remembered for my contributions. I like to be treated fairly and value justice over mercy. I know when I have messed up and take full responsibility for my mistakes. It annoys me when others try to blame their faults and problems on others but want full credit for anything they do right.
And now, to wrap things up, a few of my interests:
backpacking, hiking, camping, genetics, genealogy, cats, rats, behavior analysis, psychology, D&D, autism, gardening, fashion, wine, and photography, to name a few.
