Adventures on Turtle Island

Re: All things personality

Because my bag is full of useless but incredibly meaningful treasures, I definitely had it on me as I would have refused to leave the ship/boat without it, risking my life to make sure my homemade blanket, journal and kitten were safe. But clearly, even with it pointed out blindingly obviously to me (and reading it), practical things like bags and clean water are something that only days later I think "oh yeah that's right, bags and stuff" 😂.

I fail at writing this and at life in general @Spookytookims but I don't mind because it's all very interesting 😉

Back to sleep you. Sweet dreams

Re: All things personality

@Spookytookims @CheerBear It sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun with this adventure. @Spookytookims, you asked for feedback re. my part in this adventure. I have been reflecting on this and one thing does jump out at me. I'm not actually into MAKING rules, it's more that I appreciate OTHERS making rules, and once they've made the rules, I'll go into meltdown if the rules are changed or not adhered to. So...for example, my friend who bailed out of my world in November made the rule that I couldn't call her, but she would call me once a fortnight. Sometimes I would wait and wait and WAIT all weekend, only for her to message on Sunday night to say she was too busy to call. This invariably caused chaos. My psychologist has made the rules that I can email once a week and send two voice messages which can be a max of 3 minutes each. I have learnt the social rule that when people say "you can call me anytime," they don't actually mean it and they will get angry if I call them at 2am. Is this helping? You see? I don't MAKE the rules, I just process the world in terms of rules and I function best in situations where there are rules - this is why I'm good at inferential statistics and writing in APA style. Conversely, I don't do well in the "real" world where I am regarded by most people as being too black and white, and too rigid.

Rules, structure and routine make me feel calm because I know what is going to happen when. I don't cope with unexpected events (good or bad) well at all. So...is this helping you in creating my character???

I'm not planning to be back on the forum today, but I look forward to the next episode. As I said the other day, I don't take this MBPI stuff too seriously so don't feel like you are going to offend me or anything. Smiley Happy

Re: All things personality

@Spookytookims Hee hee, you obviously posted while I was working on my post. Nah, I will let you guys create some structure for our days on the island. My only rule is that once we make the rules, we stick to them. Smiley Happy

Re: All things personality

Ah I'm supposed to be getting ready but caught something you jusy said @Phoenix_Rising. None of our types are typically into making rules. By the look of it we would need an E for that so really at this point we'd probably all be walking around in circles waiting for an E to take charge 😂

Definitely out now. Catch y'all later. Our Island rocks 💛

Re: All things personality

Ohhhh  I get it.   Rightio  I'll have to rethink a bitt on that then but yes @Phoenix_Rising  I get what you are saying and it makes a lot of sense.  Wow that's really interesting and insightful.  Thank you.

Re: All things personality

Noooooo  I dont want rules...  I cant even stick to a recipe I do REALLY bad with rules!  Lol @CheerBear
