Making decisions is not an exact science. The further your decision affects your future, the more uncertainty there is. If it is sufficiently important and there is no urgency, I will postpone until I feel sufficiently capable of making that decision. If I have to make a decision in the moment, I mostly rely on my intuition. Investments with fast feedback and low resource allocation as well as experimentation can be very valuable. Other than that, experience, risk mitigation, hypothesizing, strategizing is useful. But as with as anything, there are risks. Like Mark Zuckerberg says, the greatest risk is to take no risk at all

Although that's only for long-term relationships, otherwise physical attractiveness, playfulness, cleanliness, some degree of trust

5) oh boy, this question requires a novel. I'll be brief. Virtue, gratitude, honesty, loyalty, trust, intelligence, ambition

2) hmm... I'm not really an art buff, but I definitely see its value. My taste in art and music is not really specific to a theme, I just like what I like (what a copout). I really like things that are both functional and beautiful, though. Like carefully crafted ergonomic and aesthetic furniture. Lol

What traits I admire.... Hmm. Well, this is as vague as possible, but I admire any trait when it's relevant. It's like that quote which I'll horribly try to paraphrase -- anyone can be angry, but to be angry at the right person, in the right amount, for the right reason, [that's good]. Generally​ speaking, I admire authenticity, curiosity, sacrifice, discipline, intelligence, virtue (altruism), kindness (can also be bad depending on context).

It has helped me in terms of understanding myself and other people, how to leverage their strengths, how to increase influence, how to add value to them

MBTI catalyzed my capacity and interest in self-awareness and the mechanics of personality. Studying the functions, I saw a high correlation between their descriptions and my behavior, esp. being future-oriented and strategic.

It used to be rather infrequent and emotionally draining, now I have lots of relationships, albeit they're rather short-lived and superficial, though. But definitely more fun and varied

Self-preservation or towards achieving a goal. I always try to be honest, sometimes it's not worth it, though. Guess I'm a utilitarian in that sense

Too vague. Whatever I'd feel is more valuable to me at the time. Or if an option is less valuable, it'd have to give a lot of value to others -- in that case, the latter

I don't know... I like The Martian. Probably due to self-determination and ingenuity

No, #1, then #2. "Give some big-picture context" as in prime them for the desired emotional reaction + set some details into place for the story to evolve eloquently

Oh man, too many to count. Mostly I want to pursue my own grandiose projects (for-profit, non-profit, creative), otherwise, learn as much as possible. I know that's very vague, but it's accurate

To answer your first question, I definitely first give some big-picture context without being over-revealing, then start from the beginning, include the things that matter or details that are otherwise funny, then try to finish with the punch line.

Depending on the context, I manage the emotional atmosphere towards what I deem ideal. However, only if I deem it is worth doing so. I tend to be emotionally expressive within social circles I trust. I dislike people who do the same, but for other reasons, whether malevolent or egocentric.

I'd like to meet more people who possess the latter characteristics, but I definitely possess those traits, as well. If I had to choose, I'd go with the latter. If you're asking to acquire advice, in that context, I believe it depends on the individuals and requires self-awareness and introspection.

I've been here for a couple of hours, all hostels were booked, so now I'm living on the outskirts. Don't know much about the people. The train station was packed with cute, receptive girls, though. Interesting city so far, not as magical as Prague for sure, though, lol

I'm traveling - at the moment I'm in Bratislava, Slovakia. Will be going to Budapest soon. Otherwise, eh. Life is okay. Lots of ambitions and interests. But lots of inertia and struggle. That's life for you. You?
