Lone wolf or social butterfly, if you had to pick one? (introvert or extrovert?) Lone wolf. totally an introvert, passive/aggressive Do you isolate? If so, why? yes. I don't like being around most people, even those I considered friends. It is just too hard these days. I get what I call 'crusty'... a feeling of extreme sleepyness and a severe need to be alone. Are you a creative person? At times. I can do a weeks worth of work in a few hours, or at times (less often) an hours worth of work in a week How do you express your creativity? I don't When you’re at your most creative, what kind of mood are you generally in? Elevated, happy, almost extatic. LOOK AT WHAT I CAN DO! Do you read often? I used too. Now my ADD is too bad to read a book without taking a few weeks and my memory is such that by the time i get to the end I've forgotten the beginning. Do you write often? I try to keep a journal. It ranges from every day to 5 or 6 times a month depending upon mood. How do you feel your social awareness (how well you perceive others thoughts and emotions) is in comparison to an average person? Scale: 1 -2 - 3 -4 -5 with 1 being completely socially unaware, 5 being extremely socially aware, and 3 being an average person. 1 - totally socially unaware. everything is a threat. everything is against me. Avoid at all costs Do you have/experience social anxiety? Yes. See previous questino How are your social interaction skills? (Communication skills?) Non existant. The only exception is if I'm paying for your time (ie therapist, psychiatrist). Then I tell the truth, all of it, good and bad. Are you an emotional person? Scale: 1 -2 - 3 -4 -5 with 1 being completely unemotional, 5 being extremely emotional, and 3 being an average person. 2 - I HATE showing emotion, but I still have them Do you consider yourself to be an empathic person? Empathy: to understand the feelings of another. I understand the feeling of another as long as they don't have anything to do with me. Type of Bipolar disorder? (Bipolar I, Bopolar II, rapid cycle?)
