I find this to be a fun—yet often frustrating—thought-provoking activity and I enjoy answering questions about my personality because I see it as an easy and fun way to tell the asker about myself be it things I like, my personality traits, and things of the like, without the person just coming out and saying to me “so tell me about yourself!” in which case I’d have no clue where to start. Here’s the thing though, my focus and goal here with this activity is to reveal as much about myself as I feel necessary without giving too much away. After all, everything’s not for everybody. Shoot, I barely know the people and professor in the class in which I’m completing this activity for! Well, this is an assignment, but I see this more as an activity than an assignment to be completed for a grade and handed in to my teacher. For anyone else who would like to complete the Proust Questionnaire themselves, here’s the link: https://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/2000/01/proust-questionnaire/amp My Responses to the Proust Questionnaire Questions
1. What is your idea of perfect happiness? Manifesting my way to the life of my dreams. 2. What is your greatest fear? My greatest fear is that (in the words of Timo Cruz from the 2005 film Coach Carter) we are powerful beyond measure. Just kidding. Okay, seriously, my biggest fear is being in the dark and someone or something terrifying is coming at me. That’s the best way I can answer this question. 3. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? Overlooking things too easily, not standing up for or defending myself, etc. 4. What is the trait you most deplore in others? Inconsideration, selfishness, using “to” when it should be “too”, self-righteousness, judging others, etc. 5. Which living person do you most admire? Don’t have one. 6. What is your greatest extravagance? Don’t have one yet, but mine would be getting my first car and driving instead of having to rely on Septa. Also, I love to travel, so being on an airplane or an Amtrak train would also be up there. 7. What is your current state of mind? I seek to just living life the way I see fit and that will make me the happiest. I can’t wait until my next life, so I guess I might as well try to make the most of this one! (I’m a visionary… see myself as one anyway.) 8. What do you consider the most overrated virtue? Patience, forgiveness, and staying in the now. For me, there’s a tie among all three of the above. 9. On what occasion do you lie? Whenever I feel it’s necessary to preserve the emotional and physical wellbeing of myself and everyone involved in a past, present, or future situation. 10. What do you most dislike about your appearance? My facial hair, stubble, and Adam’s Apple. 11. Which living person do you most despise? A past teacher of mine whose name i will not publicly disclose. 12. What is the quality you most like in a man? If I were interested in a romantic relationship (which I’m not) I would want a man who accepts and respects all that I am and a nice-looking body wouldn’t hurt. 13. What is the quality you most like in a woman? If I were interested in a romantic relationship (which I’m not) I would want a woman who accepts and respects all that I am and a nice-looking body wouldn’t hurt. 14. Which words or phrases do you most overuse? “Whatever” and time-fillers like “like” or “at any rate” and it’s a really embarrassing habit. 15. What or who is the greatest love of your life? Don’t have one… yet… 16. When and where were you happiest? The time back in August 2014 when my then best friend, her sisters, and her cousins, and myself, all went to Six Flags in New Jersey. It's been my dream and so it has been a great experience! 17. Which talent would you most like to have? Being fluent in Japanese. 18. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My height—instead of being 5’11, I’d be 5’7. The other things I really want to change about myself is too personal to share with the public. 19. What do you consider your greatest achievement? Manifesting over $1k in the summer of 2014 and getting all As in the fall 2017 semester. 20. If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? A human female. Hands down. I will not have this any other way. In fact, I hope to be female in at least the next… ten or fifteen lifetimes from now. 21. Where would you most like to live? The county I live now... which is Delaware County, PA. 22. What is your most treasured possession? My Beanie Baby that has my late dad’s birthday in its tag. It's very sentimental to me and so i couldn't fathom losing it. 23. What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? The lowest depth of misery for me is living life based on everyone’s/anyone’s expectations of how I should live my life or how I should be as a person. 24. What is your favorite occupation? Favorite occupation… hmmm… I haven’t yet had the pleasure of working here but I fancy the idea of working at a store like Forever 21 or Sephora! I also would love to get into filmmaking and acting. 25. What is your most marked characteristic? Anyone who gets to know me well enough knows me for being an ambitious person, and i love that! 26. What do you most value in your friends? Just respect me, who I am, my belief system, that I refuse to believe in what people call “God”, my boundaries, and don’t cross any of my lines, and we’re good and I’ll show you the same exact respect. Also be there for me when I need you and I’ll be there for you when you need me. It’s as simple as that. 27. Who are your favorite writers? Don’t have any. 28. Who is your hero of fiction? I'll admit it... the Power Rangers. 29. Which historical figure do you most identify with? Don’t have one. 30. Who are your heroes in real life? Don’t have any. 31. What are your favorite names? Bethany, Holly, Aiden, Cupcake, Paris, Amy, Ross, Sydney, Ethan, Jackson, Lucas, Luke, Anthony, Monique, Wesley, Bartholomew, etc. There are few too many to list but that's just to name a few. 32. What is it that you most dislike? Christianity. 33. What is your greatest regret? Not standing up for myself all the times I felt I should’ve. 34. How would you like to die? I'd like to die peacefully, being loved and valued by others, and I'm honestly hoping i die in my fifties or sixties at the very latest but I'm hoping to die in my forties so i can live a short life but long enough to enjoy every this present incarnation has to offer and live longer in my next. 35. What is your motto? Don’t have one.
