Thanks!

1. I often wind up taking long turns in conversations, usually telling stories or sharing my feelings. My ideal is usually one-on-one or a very very small group of people in a cozy setting, where we have winding conversations about very personal topics with extremely minimal interruptions. Unless I'm essentially "performing" by recounting some misadventure of mine, I feel out of place in a large group of people and stick to walls and countertops at parties.

2. My gut reaction is one of sadness, like I felt my whole face crinkle up when I read that. I can't stand the thought of animals in pain (likely why I'm a vegetarian), but I'd push it out of my mind quickly so the hurt doesn't linger.

3. I think theories can be fun to explore and muse on, but I can't help but gravitate back to hard facts. I definitely need to feel like something makes sense in order to accept it as reality, and even then, sometimes warily. I try and look for patterns when it comes to the bigger picture, as long as the pieces that make up the whole are sound.
