Apparently I *am* a social problem ...

[darkwall]

OK, so I took the BBC personality test made by psychologists and here is what I discovered:

I am very OPEN, which means creative and into doing new things.
I am not at all CONSCIENTIOUS, which here means "having patience".
I am not an EXTROVERT. Well, obviously.
I am NEUROTIC.
I am not AGREEABLE.

With this last one, they specifically said, "this means you don't think about others and are unafraid to say what you feel regardless of hurting them."

Which is about the closest a pyschologist can come to saying "you are a total ****".

(Apparently the low agreeableness is why I've never had a relationship, the introversion relates to my low score on life satisfaction, the conscientiousness means I'll have health problems, and the neuroticism means I'll hate my job. The openness means however I'll always be insanely ambitious.)

Everything they said was pretty much true, and the fact that they correctly predicted that my life would suck based on my personality leads me to conclude that I really am my own enemy. I'll always find it impossible to relate to or empathise with others, however much I pay monthly to causes: I'll always be lazy, no matter what targets I set with my ambition and I'll probably always be unhappy due to my introversion and neuroticism.

I feel I have just flunked the test of life. The story so far: I've tried hard to try my hardest, but my personality weighs me down. Whatever I do, I'm pretty much destined to fail. Here I am, another lonely loser who's never been kissed or made something he's proud of, living in his parent's house, now practically with a certificate saying how much of a **** he is. I guess I can be thankful for my openness, though, because without it life surely wouldn't be worth living.

most pyschologists are self important ******** baffled as to what the hell they want to do with their lives so they decide hmmmm i'll take psychology becuase that's unique and interesting blah blah.

my holy hamsters it scares me some of the people i've heard say they want to become psychologists and half of them actually make it. it's pretty scary actually. the only psychologist i ever liked was around during the psychadelic movement and is extremely open minded and a zen master lol and even then all the mirroring and techniques they use to gain report seemed geniunely fake.

i recall one time i actually broke through his wizard of OZ fascade and felt a tired old man just working like everyone else... being forced to listen to people bitch about their stupid lives all day and do his best to remain calm and concerned despite whatever true emotions he may or may not have harbored.

what was great about that though was he was real, didn't pretend to have answers and shared himself too... i could never trust another psychologist again.

besides half the entire community is all just ******** pill pushers now.

here is what happens you'll go to a psychologist and say your sad about ****... they will refer you a psychiatrist who will perscribe an Selective seratonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI anti-depressent) you'll start to feel better at first, but you'll become increasingly agitated, manic, or upset about things as your mind changes, then they will rediagnose you as bipolar and put you on a new drug to counter-act the negative affects of the ****** SSRI they put you on to begin with... then after that you'll just get ****** up more and they will switch drugs more and more... then they will want to start shocking you with electrodes and blah blah...

either that or you will be lucky and have sound enough mind not to fully rely on the psychological help your getting... find a good psychologist things will work out you'lll like your meds get lucky blah blah

anyway point is psychologists aren't like some geniuses who some how figured **** out and the answers to problems becuase they paid for schooling. they are just people with opinions. and a ******* test... that's just lame. don't rely on that to make a decision about who you are... especialy some online test.

if you truelly think about it. some of the richest, most succesfull, most powerfull people on the planet are actually sociopaths with no regard for anything except their own selfish desires...

sides i think opinionated people are awesome.

so aside from all that ranting and babbling basically... that test is lame and should not be listened to.

on another note... have you seen that movie? little_buddha? it's awesome lol keanu reaves is kinda funny in it too but i seriously thought it was a good movie. women will just destroy you anyway if your just desperate for one.

you'll either get lucky and meet a strong woman who has a great job and doesn't mind letting you be woman in the relationship and just take care of household deals and what not. or you gotta establish yourself first, find independence, and then go on to find some one to share yourself with... otherwise they will just **** up your already fragile existence drag you down even further and destroy your chances of leading a normal life. that's how i see it.

If you were really a total ****, wouldn't you not care about a personality test?
Also, WTF does introversion have to do with life satisfaction? I'm a huge introvert and I was pretty darn satisfied with my life till I got sick.

I'm having insomnia right now, think I'll go take this test.

i took the test, too. and im not agreeable either. which is ironic b/c i took a test just the other day that said i was.

one thing i have learned, though, is that not everyone is good with people. im certainly not. i have no empathy. usually i dont care what people are saying to me. but ive learned that i also dont like being alone. so i learned how to pretend to be interested. and sometimes you surprise yourself by actually caring about what someone is saying. "fake it til you make it" as the saying goes.

basically what im saying is maybe you are terrible with people and maybe you are a ****. but that doesnt mean you cant learn to act like you arent.
