At first I wrote a few of my likes and dislikes etc. in this space. Now I have realized that these things don't get to the heart of the issue. Instead here is as honest a description of my personality as I can manage.
I am passionate about a few of my interests, however at this point in my life I am more than a little jaded about many things I once enjoyed. I am accepting of things, but to the point where it could be considered a flaw. I have accepted situations where in all reasonableness I should not have. I can be very funny, though there are two caveats. First my humor is a touch dark and unique, and I need to remember where I am before I say anything funny. Second I have no skill at repeating jokes I've heard or read.
I am empathetic and deeply introspective though at times it can be difficult for me to empathize with people with very sensitive emotional frameworks. I am kind and generous, to the point where I can be easy to manipulate.
I am intelligent, but I don't keep current in many fields so my information is often lacking and I acknowledge that. Not many things stress me out, and those that do don't stress me out in small quantities. For many people stress is a motivator, I am not one of them. Stress for me when I do experience it is completely a hindrance, and at extremely high levels of stress I will eventually no longer be able to function.
I am a decent conversationalist but if I am in an entirely novel situation I can easily be at a loss as I am no natural. I can take advice and criticism and do something useful with it. I can be convinced.
If I have a choice to be around people or be alone, I will usually chose to be around people. Also I am a clam person and don't often get upset.
I am a bit of a geek, and a nerd, but neither excessively, at least in my own opinion. I am after all a software developer |
