Retrieved from this post
- 1) WHAT IS YOUR IDEA OF PERFECT HAPPINESS?
- Constantly traveling and surrounded by people who like me. Consistent safety, satisfaction, and stability, too.
- 2) WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FEAR?
- Forever being forced to take charge/do things I don’t want to do.
I keep on having these dreams where I’m in a vehicle as a passenger, and the driver refuses to steer an already running car. I end up having to take over the wheel because of it. (Despite me not knowing how to drive whatsoever….) - 3) WHAT TRAIT DO YOU MOST DEPLORE IN YOURSELF?
- Sudden bursts of instability + pure loathing. It sucks.
- 4) WHAT TRAIT DO YOU MOST DEPLORE IN OTHER PEOPLE?
- Inconsistency, a lack of discipline, and indirectness. Those are three traits, but they all sit at the same level of "absolutely unbearable" to me.
- 5) WHAT LIVING PERSON DO YOU MOST ADMIRE?
- Meee. I’m kidding. The real answer is all of my friends.
- 6) WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST EXTRAVAGANCE?

- At the very moment (11/3/2025), good! I've been consistently taking care of myself for 30 days now!

- Humility. Let's all get super egotistical and less self-conscious NOW!!!

- 13) WHAT IS THE QUALITY YOU LIKE MOST IN A WOMAN?

- 14) WHICH WORDS OR PHRASES DO YOU MOST OVERUSE?

- 15) WHAT OR WHO IS THE GREATEST LOVE OF YOUR LIFE?
- I’m not loving enough to have a greatest love.
- 16) WHEN AND WHERE WERE YOU HAPPIEST?
