I am a very sen sitive pers on, and that's good to a poin t. I feel every one should be able to feel or un dersta nd what others are going through. But whe n you suffer and cry for people you don't know, or over a movie that s 6nly a story, then I think that's a little too sen sitive. That's the way I am.
I am also a very in depe ndent pers on. I must do things by myself. I don't like people doing things for me, or helpi ng me, or givi ng me thin gs. It's not that I don't appreciate it. I just feel that whe n some one does somethi ng for you, you owe them, and if there is one thing I don't like to feel, it's that I owe anyone any thi ng.
I thi nk I would be a good frie nd. I would do almost any thi ng for some one I like; and I would share or
give any thi ng I have. I'm very cari ng and understanding. People trust me with their secrets, and they're right for doing so because I n ever tell others any secret that is told to me. 「m always there to help in any way that I can. All you have to do is ask.
I enjoy life and people, which makes me feel good. I find fun in almost everyth ing I do (except housework). I like to watch people, talk to them, and be around them. It makes no differe nee whether I agree or disagree with what they feel or how they live or what they look like, or what age they are. I just enjoy lear ning and being aware of everyth ing and every one around me.
