Is probably the singularly most unsettling thing to ever exist on the internet
agh I love these things they’re so bizarre
You have quite a high view of your own worth and tend to respond immediately and quite negatively to any perceived criticism. There is a distinct limit to the amount and degree of empathy that you can bring to bear in any situation, however your above average intelligence will under some circumstances allow you to modulate your incipient narcissism in order to better interact with those around you. This in fact is your only hope.
You have attempted to improve yourself through self-negation and a perseverance through hard work and the avoidance of mindless pleasures. Often you will seem overly restrained in demeanor and yet you crave admiration to a point that is often unhealthy. However, a strong belief in yourself means that you will often be quite stubborn. Unfortunately, the lack of perceived admiration has left you in a distracted and uncertain state, one in which decision making is avoided for fear of the repercussions.
I’m kind of offended by this but that just proves it’s point even more soooo
ugh it’s so creepy how accurate this is
You feel that life’s problems have backed you into a corner, which is causing you stress and anxiety. You are actively seeking a way out of your current problems. And though you have the ability to connect with others both physically and emotionally, any stress in your life can easily derail both, leading you to question yourself and your abilities.
A disappointment has lead you to a state of indecision and a pervasive uncertainty about the possibility of the future improving. Stress is the natural result, and you feel rising levels of uncertainty and anxiety, causing you to avoid situations where you will be forced to make a decision. Often this will express itself in a series of meaningless distractions, whether in the form of entertainment, intoxicants or romance.Shut up. You don’t know me, stupid website. Just…shut up.
so i’m normally pretty hesitant to even bother with this stuff but I was JUST talking about these problems about myself the other day… i don’t know really about the admiration part, it doesn’t offend me, but i’m not someone who likes attention so i don’t imagine seeking admiration. the rest is pretty accurate though.
Here’s what it says:
Either an ascetic personality is evident or you feel that you are steeling yourself for the difficulties ahead in life by withdrawing from the pleasures of the world. A feeling that hard work and dedication are what’s needed to solve your problems is evident, and this can become a mania if satisfaction is not found in a reasonable time frame.

whatever.

- If the cops say: "Do you mind if I look in your purse, bag, home, or car"?
- You say: "I do not consent to a search"
- If the cops say: "Why not? Are you hiding something?"
- You say: "I believe in my Constitutional right to privacy and I do not consent to a search."

April 2012
A student blows up at a teacher, drops the F-bomb. The usual approach at Lincoln – and, safe to say, at most high schools in this country – is automatic suspension. Instead, Sporleder sits the kid down and says quietly: “Wow. Are you OK? This doesn’t sound like you. What’s going on?”
He gets even more specific: “You really looked stressed. On a scale of 1-10, where are you with your anger?” The kid was ready. Ready, man! For an anger blast to his face….”How could you do that?” “What’s wrong with you?”…and for the big boot out of school. But he was NOT ready for kindness.
The armor-plated defenses melt like ice under a blowtorch and the words pour out: “My dad’s an alcoholic. He’s promised me things my whole life and never keeps those promises.” The waterfall of words that go deep into his home life, which is no piece of breeze, end with this sentence: “I shouldn’t have blown up at the teacher.” Whoa.

this is what my school did to me when I flipped out at a kid who was abusing my best friend. i FLIPPED. they took me to the principal and he just talked to me and listened and was cool and then sent me on my way. if i had gotten suspended for that it would have totally fucked me over in life. i’m always thankful for the way that went down.
I AM UNFOLLOWING EVERY ASSHOLE THAT DOESN’T HAVE THE ABILITY TO SHUT UP FROM THIS MOMENT ON
come the fuck on people, not everyone has a goddamn tv. give us a chance!!
Okay, so our landlords found out we have Luci (we have gone 2 years w/out them knowing ugh it was so so so stupid we were napping and the repair dude just WALKED IN without knocking—wtf) and now we need her out of the apartment or we will be charged $300 every time they come to “periodically check on us.”
Ethan’s dad is going to take her but I can’t drive to his house with her until this Friday. We need her out because the repair man is going to come this week to fix something so if he sees her we will be financially fucked. I really wish I knew more people/was close to more people in western PA so I could have somewhere to bring her until I have the time to get her somewhere safe until we can take care of her again. UGH.
Tumblr if you know anybody in the Pittsburgh, PA area that would be willing to take in a cute adorable cat for a couple days this week I would be so fucking grateful. I’m getting desperate. We have food and litter box and toys and everything she’d need. She just needs somewhere to be. :(

it’s one of the most horrible things I’ve ever had to experience in my nose.
ugh. kid please fucking go away. i can’t even think with your stink clogging my nose.

Fuck tolerance. I want more. I want to be embraced as I am. And I don’t want it to be a big fucking “gimme cookies, I accept you!” thing. It should just be the way it is.
