Behaviour and Emotional Characteristics

Sensitivity - Sensitive not to the object or topic but the meaning or intent behind it. Eg. Chefs are critiqued for everything they make. I welcome feedback I don't acknowledge and will not entertain ideas of malice, mockery, or ignorance in the guise of criticism. It is not being sensitive when you defend your ideas or become upset about something you are passionate about or believe. It is insensitive to call someone that as a way to discredit and end the conversation. Also called abuse.

Emotional – I love to be childish. I enjoy it. I like to mock, challenge, and needle. I am very sarcastic and crude at times but never to disrespect, usually to mock or poke at an idea I find silly or disagree with. I am not bullying. I am just playing. If I did not like you chances are I would not speak to you at all. Bullying is attacking the weak or those unable to defend. I don't engage with people who can not speak for themselves. And I don't challenge ideas to those who do not possess them. It is called debating and it is healthy and an excellent tool to learn. It is healthy to be wrong, and to evolve opinions. It is unhealthy and abusive to refute someones differing opinion by being to be offended they do not agree with you. That is also parody, and a mockery of the very idea you're fighting to preserve.

Dramatic – I love but have difficulty often expressing myself. I can use flair, and my body to help illustrate my story or event im speaking about. I become excited about new topics of many things. In turn, I also can sometimes over-exaggerate a seemingly minor issue. It is not that I don't see or acknowledge as minor, it is just my way of communicating and I am aware of it. Calling me dramatic is an astute observation, it is nothing more, nothing less.


Selfish – I am the worst kind of selfish. I will stubbornly allow so much improper things to happen to myself that I will no longer be able to function or perform to my expected standards. I am very hard on myself when I make a simple mistake or when I fail a simple task. I will become withdrawn and no longer be receptive to anything around me until I've processed and come out of my shell. That is very selfish. I am harder on myself that anyone else. I also can not tolerate listening to someone be embarrassed or openly mocked and will often interject but I have found myself also as the one issuing the mocks in an unkind way without warrant. I can sometimes contradict myself and it is something I work to improve. This is from a lack of emotional control and not from the heart. Very selfish to do that to another human for making a mistake. I am very accepting of my faults and to apologize for wrongs I have made. I also find it very difficult to work in conditions where there is someone I respect or enjoy that I feel is upset with me. Even if they are not. I am governed more by emotion than the majority of others. If my concerns are just heard, and acknowledged I feel instant relief, and joy, and happiness. If I am purposefully ignored, stifled, or ignored I become increasing anxious, upset and frustrated until I no longer can tolerate the pain and lash out in an unhealthy manner. I need to have a better method to either harbour, or express my feelings and also accept they don't have to listen and be OK with that. And not care what they think.


That is one of my hardest struggles. To not care. I can say that about 90% of people in my life I never give a second thought to but the other 10% occupy probably 90%. It speaks to my commitment to loyalty, and bringing joy to those I like. When I do bring them joy, I feel joy at the highest level. I am much like a pet dog, or a doormat. I can not change this about myself. And I have been trying to for as long as I remember. I will instead try to embrace but modify it to love myself first instead of pretending im not supposed to be this way.

I do not have fear of vocally standing up and acting against an idea I believe in or one I do not. I may be very excited or passionate and these topics will often be sensitive. People get offended and use it as a way to silence. I feel, that if there is an idea I stand behind that I can only protect under the threat of discipline or correction. It may not be a pure or noble idea.

My value and reward system is not the same as how we are brought up to be. Mine is again similar to that of a dog. I care about making people happy and that makes me happy. Like your dog when you pet his head. I am a simplistic man governed by very simplistic laws of nature and I am poor at hiding them. I dont value money I value respect. I dont value power I value integrity, I dont value possessions I value loyalty and dedication and when these simple ideas are met I work at my best. For this, my nature and ideas and poor way of expressing them. I have received more abuse, mockery, and slander than any true shortcomings, mistakes, or bad deeds I have committed.

I can provide examples for hours on end of how this is just a systematic result of our society and I am just in essence, in the minority of how most humans act in a emotional/behaviour way and for that, I receive criticism.

I can listen to someone attempt to dismantle my character with words, hate, physical force and it does not scratch my resolve but I have seen how even a slight body movement or expression can cause extreme pain from someone I am emotionally loyal or invested in. I have also seen how this is exploited and used against you. I have used it against people myself.

I have seen how unpopular or unseen ideas or feelings are dismissed and not acknowledged. Dismissed but also labelled as improper or unstable thinking. A way to silence by manipulating the integrity of the individual. That is very cruel, and disturbing behaviour and also very effective.

I have become a lot more aware of myself and why I respond and react to these things and I welcome debate, but will not entertain dismissive acts. Not to matters of how I feel, and how I am trying to react, improve, help or communicate anything. I do not believe in silencing someone to dismiss them. To me that is what the bullying and abuse and focus of energy should be on stopping. When did it become OK to point and laugh at someone who looks different? Why is someone who holds an unpopular belief any different?

Questions to think upon.

Ok now I say I behave like a dog does. Can you prove this wrong without acknowledging the dog exists?

If I said I am unwell with a mental illness, can you be told no and dismissed without any further acknowledgement?
