Nice. Reminds me what I was like at the start of 6th or so; seeing that, while school pitches itself as a place of learning, very little learning goes on there.

I just wish when I was taught manners it was for the purpose of networking and diplomacy, not impressing people and hiding my personality.
Although we WILL deal with people, the humanities are never taught for the purpose if actually developing a theory on human nature. The purpose of which is to develop your own system of personal ethics and tact when dealing with people. Instead its *Book* followed by *Quiz* and isnt learning fun? Whats wrong with you?

I am most certainly victim to #6 and #7 in particular.
With #6, I used to actually take a risk in life. I avoid talking to people for the most part. I avoid where I could bump into classmates. I also avoid going out in public in general except for marching band.
With #7, I've done that since 3rd grade. It's a lifestyle. It's the only way I know how to live.

#5, #6, #7, #10, #14 are difficult for me to do.
As for #10 in particular, I honestly had an easier time doing that one before middle school.
#6, #7, I think I naturally have a hard time with those, considering I'm a perfectionist and all.

I'll put my thoughts into a spoiler so this post doesn't seem longer than it really is.
1.) Never really knew about that. Or atleast, unknowingly do I do that.
2.) I've heard about it, but never really took much consideration into that.
3.) I would do that, but when it comes to schoolwork, I'm pressured to where I wouldn't think to do that. Even if I could think to do that, I couldn't be bothered to do it for school in particular.
4.) I really need to get into doing that more often.
5.) I try to be proactive, but being reactive is a bad habit for me. I am trying to fix that though.
6.) I absolutely agree. I personally don't see mistakes and failures as an inherently bad thing (unless in a situation where mistakes are the last thing you'd want to make, in which case, I'm going to say otherwise).
7.) Thanks to School and bullying due to my times of social ineptitude, I basked in self-loathing before I became disillusioned. After I started to realize I don't need to fix what wasn't broken with me, this hit me and became something I take into consideration.
8.) I can do this, but I'm not sure why I don't do this more often than I should.
9.) That's what I already do, actually.
10.) I am intuitively aware of this, but I somehow don't take this into consideration as much as I should.
11.) I am grateful, but I have a hard time showing that, especially when I'm in a negative mood or state of mind.
12.) Before disillusionment, this also was an issue for me before that fact. Again, once I found out what worked and what didn't work for me, I took this into consideration big time.
13.) I started to figure this out during my stage of disillusionment as well, and most of my fears I had were - at the very least - heavily subsided. The only fear that really continues to persist even on a day-to-day basis is death, but I really only think about that once in a while.
14.) This is what gave me that epiphany in a previous post of mine. Normally, I wouldn't have had a problem with this sort of thing, but ever since my stuff got taken away from me into a box, it kind of got to me and now, I got more easier to agitate and it was harder for me to calm down and relax because of it. Ever since that epiphany came to me, I've since reinstated this ideology back into my mind, and hope that I won't make the same mistake I've made from last time.
15.) Yes and no. Yes, I do forget things from time to time, but no, I don't forget everything. I still hold untold information full of memories that still retain into me to this day. It's only when I begin to put it down is when that memory might go away, but that depends entirely on the memory in question, and what factors are being attributed during that time.
16.) This is hard for me to grasp at first with a negative situation, but once I have time to calm down and really think about it, it starts to flow within' me for once.
