I was taking a survey today. It was a written survey and I was curious as to it's questions. One of the questions asked "How would you describe yourself?" and I felt that an interesting question to ask. For one thing it only gave me two lines to answer the question in, and also how does one describes themselves. I find my personality to flourish when I'm with others, so would it be right to judge myself? Would me describing myself do an injustice or would it just be an understatement. We all act very differently when we are alone. So I guess it would be more appropriate to ask how do you act in a social environment. Then that also leads to the question what kind of social environment you would be in. God knows that I am one of the most outgoing kids when I am around my friends, but you could not pay me to get directions from a stranger. Does that make me predominately shy, or mostly out-going. There are so many different ways and scenarios that we can describe ourselves in, it was just interesting to me.

i hate those kinds of questions, because i feel like such a conceited jerk when i talk about myself. also, i can relate with the whole "shy around strangers" thing. it is one of the many personality quirks that just add layers of depth to us. it makes us more....mysterious...
