I'm empathetic to a fault. I really do - embarrassingly enough - tear up when someone squishes a bug in front of me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most people don't know that I have a huge phobia of bugs. It's gotten worse and worse over the years, but I just can't stand them! Even thinking about bugs makes me queasy.
This claustrophobia was the only weakness I had. It's not my fault. It's just in my mind.
I used to blame my problems on other people. But my moment of clarity, if you want to call it that, came when I was looking in the mirror one day and just burst into tears. It wasn't just that I looked bad, it was that I knew my problem was me.
I feel like I'm kind of a bit of a sponge in a way. Like, if people around me are going through things, I find it very hard not to be empathetic.
I'm an emotional person; I do occasionally shed a tear.
I have a natural resistance to being humiliated.
I have these accidents, these mistakes, these self-inflicted wounds, and then I tear my head to shreds about it for days.
My method of helping someone is saying, 'Wow, you look amazing. Let me help you look even better.' I think tearing someone down is an awful thing to do. It has a lasting impression on people.
I don't worry about people misinterpreting my kindness for weakness.
I'm not squeamish at all. As a child I dragged a dead squirrel home on my skateboard and cut it open and tried to look at its brain.
