Me

I've long done stupid surveys and taken tests that are supposed to reflect my personality and divulge who I am to me. I find these things amusing for the most part, and sometimes enlightening and eerily correct. I have long coasted on my brain and my thought processes. I have escaped answers by giving an overview without divulging the true answer that lies within me sometimes because I don't want to answer the question but more often than not to see if anyone else notices the lack of substance I've provided them with. Sadly, most people don't realize this. I am not trying to sound concieted, because I really don't think I know everything, but I tend to watch and assess more than most people. I'm an observer by nature and can usually read people really well. This is both a gift and a curse.
Sometimes I feel it's a curse because I feel as though no one truly knows me. I could expound on the lonliness with melodramatic flair, but it's not really lonliness...it's more of aloneness. Don't get me wrong, I believe this is entirely my fault. But being alone with your thoughts and the incessance of them can be a bit overwhelming, especially for me. I think too much. Very simply put...but sometimes simplicity is the best way to explain things. My thoughts run ceaslessly one overlapping the next, and I just jump from one to the next often appearing very random to those on the outside of my brain. :) But random works for me, so I'm ok with it. So even in the curse, though filled with longing at times for someone to know me in my entirety, I am ok and wouldn't change the way I am for anything.
On the flip side thinking too much has lots of advantages. My ability to think about ideas that would never be approved by normal society and the what ifs and what could bes that lie in everything is truly entertaining. I enjoy being able to think about things that most people would consider inappropriate simply because I can. I also enjoy thinking about situations from every possible angle...it appeals to my nature to want to think thoroughly through every situation.
Thinking back on some of these tests I have taken, I'll leave you with one of my results...
You Are a Seeker Soul
You are on a quest for knowledge and life challenges.
You love to be curious and ask a ton of questions.
Since you know so much, you make for an interesting conversationalist.
Mentally alert, you can outwit almost anyone (and have fun doing it!).

Very introspective, you can be silently critical of others.
And your quiet nature makes it difficult for people to get to know you.
You see yourself as a philosopher, and you take everything philosophically.
Your main talent is expressing and communicating ideas.
