The Melancholy As a Friend **my notes in red
1. Lives through others **I don't see this in me.
2. Insecure socially **used to be, but not so much as I have gotten older.
3. Withdrawn and remote **yes, and some people interpret it as witchy
4. critical of others **sadly, yes
5. Holds back affections **not a big hugger...well, unless I have had a few, then I will hug just about anyone!
6..Dislikes those in opposition **I think 'dislikes' is a harsh word, but I would probably be 'critical'....see #4.
7. Suspicious of people **very much so
8. Antagonistic and vengeful **Not so much, that takes too much energy
9.. Unforgiving **I can be.
10. Full of contradictions **I don't think so, most people know where I stand.
11. Skeptical of compliments **Very much so, it is very hard for me to accept a compliment, this is something I have worked on for years. But it doesn't come natural for me to just say, "thank you!"
The Melancholy As A Parent
12. Puts goals beyond reach **They are only 3 and 4, so I don't think so.
13. May be too meticulous **Nothing wrong with being neat.
Bonus ones, since they were on the list:
14. Becomes martyr **This is so not me!
15. Sulks over disagreements **With the kids!! There are no disagreements, I am right...they are only 3 and 4!!
16. Puts guilt upon children **I don't think so, but I can see how I might be able to do this.
See why I wanted to start with strengths? This makes me sound like Debbie Downer! The one thing I liked about this test was it made me see what my weaknesses are and deal with them...especially the parental ones!

I think we all tend to be hard on ourselves and your just honest enough to admit it!

I'm gonna take the test, too, but I don't see any of those in me!

i am going to take the test again... maybe i will be brave enough (like you) to put it out there.
the first time i was very #6 about it. I was all like, "NUH HUH! Screw you then. This test is STUPID."
just kidding. but i didn't like it.
"Nothing wrong with being neat" could mean "closet OCD!" ;-)
So number 5 makes me laugh so hard! Takes me back to Hoffman's! I always knew when you were feeling good cuz the hugs started flowing freely!!!!!
Um...you could never be Debby Downer LMAO!
