Particularly jarring commentary has been italicized. This was rather disturbing to read the results of, yet I cannot deny that parts of it seem very true.
Your Existing Situation
Attracted by anything new, modern, or intriguing. Liable to the bored by the humdrum, the ordinary, or the traditional.
Your Stress Sources
The situation is regarded as threatening or dangerous. Resentful that what he has striven so hard for is being menaced, and disparate because he feels powerless to prevent it--fears that he is going to miss out altogether. Unable to view the situation objectively, but extremely agitated and cannot rest in his attempts to remove this threat to his desires. Over-extended and feels beset, possibly to the point of nervous prostration.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Believes that he is not receiving his share--that he is neither properly understood or adequately appreciated. Feels that he is being compelled to conform, and close relationships leave him without any sense of emotional involvement.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to him.
Your Desired Objective
Sets himself idealistic but illusory goals. Has been bitterly disappointed and turns his back on life in weary self-disgust. Wants to forget it all and recover in a comfortable, problem-free situation.
Your Actual Problem
The fear that he might be prevented from achieving the things he wants drives him to the exploitation of all types of experience, so that he may categorically deny that any of them has any value. This destructive denigration becomes his method of concealing hopelessness and a profound sense of futility.
Your Actual Problem #2
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on his resources. This feeling of powerlessness subjects him to agitation and acute distress. He reacts by considering that he has been victimized, and insists--with indignation, resentment, and defiance--on being given his own way.

Do you really see the world as that bleak? I ask because I have spent long periods of my life feeling exactly the same way.

Date: 9 Jan 2006 02:43 (UTC)I absolutely do NOT see the world as that bleak. I'm pretty obviously on a down-swing right now, as things are becoming difficult and tedious as I've begun choosing things to do with my freedom - that has definitely caused me to feel constrained in ways I haven't been dealing well with.
*shrug* Stick a "relatively" before all the absolutes and it's pretty accurate. I feel relatively powerless to confront the things I see threatening my happiness. I am relatively bitter about my disappointments. I definitely am seeking problem-free situations to recover in.
