When Befriending (Or Romancing) Me Was Hard

Just did a pre-conference personality quiz, where i'm just 1% of a personality type called "Advocates". This is part of what it says about my attitude towards friendships (the section on romantic relationships is equally troubling lol):


"In friendship it is as though Advocates are searching for a soul mate, someone who shares every facet of their passions and imagination. From the start, it can be a challenge to get to know Advocates, as they are very private, even enigmatic. Advocates don’t readily share their thoughts and feelings, not unless they are comfortable, and since those thoughts and feelings are the basis for Advocate friendships, it can take time and persistence to get to know them. Meanwhile, Advocates are very insightful and have a particular knack for seeing beyond others’ facades, interpreting intent and compatibility quickly and easily, and weeding out those who don’t share the depth of their idealism."


As such, i would like to apologise to anyone, if you ever experienced any form of unintentional pain in the process of getting to know me. thank you for persisting through the hardship, and i hope our friendship has been a meaningful addition to your life
