I have answered these questions from the Proust Questionnaire to give you some insight into my thoughts. It has been said that this questionnaire tells you who someone truly is.
What is your idea of perfect happiness? - My idea of perfect happiness doesn’t exist. Perfection is something that only one can hope to achieve, in anything, especially happiness. My idea of happiness, though, is financial freedom and having the ability to block out anxieties. What is your greatest fear? - I have a fear of not being a great mother and of not having the patience to be a great mother. I think being an only child has kept me from being fully selfless, although I don’t consider myself to be selfish. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? - I second guess myself a lot and I question everything. I don’t always believe in taking people’s word for it, sometimes even if I know their answer is perfectly fine. What is the trait you most deplore in others? - I hate the fact that people refuse to see all sides of something. Nothing is as cut and dry as it may seem. There are many ways to get the result you seek, but most people believe that “their” way is the only way. Which living person do you most admire? - I admire my mother. It may seem cliché, or like an easy answer, but I have been very fortunate to have a mother who does love selflessly and would give everything in her power not only to me, but to anyone who may need her. What is your greatest extravagance? - My greatest extravagance would have to be my cars. Every car I have bought has been brand new, with a lot of creature comforts. I just find things are better that way. Less maintenance What is your current state of mind? - Currently my state of mind varies. I have days where I am overly confident in everything I do, and then I have days where I wish the world would swallow me whole. This doesn’t vary because of anything in particular, I think just some days are better than others. What do you consider the most overrated virtue? - The most overrated virtue is probably self-control, if that counts as a virtue. Most people, including myself, lack self-control and do not even realize it. I purchase things when I know I probably shouldn’t, then excuse it by telling myself I deserve it, for whatever reason. On what occasion do you lie? - I really don’t lie often, but if I was going to lie, it would be to protect someone else. What do you most dislike about your appearance? - I don’t mind my appearance, I just wish my face was friendlier sometimes. So many people have told me that they didn’t think I was a pleasant person just because of how my face looked when they first met me Which living person do you most despise? - I despise anyone who is intolerant to another person. We don’t have to have the same opinions, but we all should respect each other What is the quality you most like in a man? - Nothing is better than when a man can keep their word. If they say they will do it, they should. Which words or phrases do you most overuse? - I overuse the word “like” and “um”, which are pretty typical things for people, but I really need to work on that. I don’t want it to show a lack of intelligence What or who is the greatest love of your life? - I know that once my child is born, that love will surpass anything or anyone that I have ever met. Which talent would you most like to have? - I would love to be able to play the piano. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? - I would change how anxious I often am about things, I would change how much I overthink things. What do you consider your greatest achievement? - I don’t consider myself to have any great achievements, except maybe graduating high school, which for a while I didn’t think I would do. Starting college is another great achievement, because I never really wanted to before. If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? - If I could come back as a cat, I would. Cats live life so carelessly and when they are less than pleasant, people just accept it. Where would you most like to live? - I am pretty content where I live, but I wish it was warmer year-round What is your most treasured possession? - My most treasured possession would have to be, again, the cars I have owned. I work hard to pay for them and I am proud to have them. What is your most marked characteristic? - I think mostly my friends would say that I am a loyal friend and I take pride in that characteristic. I am more loyal than some people deserve from me but that’s who I am as a person. I would do anything for the people I care about What do you most value in your friends? - I really value someone I can simply laugh with. Sometimes that is the most important thing Who are your favorite writers? - I don’t think I have any favorite writers. Who is your hero of fiction? - I don’t have a hero of fiction. Which historical figure do you most identify with? - I don’t identify with any historical figures Who are your heroes in real life? - My heroes are my parents. Being adopted, my life could have been completely different, but I was adopted by two people who love me unconditionally and who, more importantly, love each other unconditionally. They have always showed me what a happy and healthy, loving relationship was and I could never thank them enough for what they have taught me about life What are your favorite names? - I don’t know that I have ever given a thought to my favorite names What is it that you most dislike? - I really dislike being ignored, and people who don’t feel the need to speak when they are spoken to. I am a generally friendly person and there are some people who will just look at you like they don’t have to talk to you. Which, I guess, they don’t have to necessarily, but it’s rude in my opinion. What is your greatest regret? - My greatest regret is not finishing high school like a “normal” senior. I left high school after tenth grade and did cyber school for my junior and senior years. Even though I hated school, I feel like there was a lot I may have missed out on How would you like to die? - I am not sure how I would like to die. Truly, I wouldn’t want to die at all if I had the choice. Aging scares me because I have seen people suffer in their old age What is your motto? - My motto would probably be, “You get what you give”. Again, I am a generally friendly person, but if you are rude to me there isn’t any chance that I’ll care enough to give you the time of day anymore.
