If I'm on an empty pavement, then I'll be looking down so I don't tread in dog poo or chewing gum. If I'm in a crowd, I'm into collision avoidance mode and probably fairly stressed.

Has anybody here a job where they don't feel bullied, and if so can I come work with you?

Yes, and I am sure the person will oblige.

Hot, warm, cool, or cold?

EDIT:
The answer given was perfectly precise and perfectly inaccurate. ("Has anyone..." "Yes, there must be someone...") A more accurate answer would be, "no."

Warm.


What is your instinctive defense? When you feel threatened or in danger, do you run, hide, attack, threaten or manipulate?

Good question, bad answer coming up...
Depends so much on the situation but the only things I've done recently are manipulate and hide :/
Same question

Same question

I suppose, I tend to either run as far as possible cause, I sometimes feel useless to deal with some things.. :oops:


What would you consider yourself a peasant in a rice field whom is contented or a King whom wants total control of people?

If I had to choose, I'd say the peasant. I have no wish to control people, whatsoever. :?


Are you easily provoked?

It depends on how easily is defined, but one is fun, two total is company, three total is a crowd, four total is too many, and five total is not allowed as the expression suggests. It gets worse if there is tactile contact.

Do you dislike tactile contact?

Yes, I hate tactile contact.


Where would you prefer to live if you could choose: an open country or a crowded city?

Open country, provided that convenience is on a comparable level.

Red, green, or blue?

I thought I did when I was younger, but looking through what he wrote I can't seem to recall any of them.

Who is a favorite author of yours?

Not really, although I tend to follow Garfield's first rule "Never eat anything that's on fire".

Have you ever been bullied at work, and if so what did you do about it?

No. I've been gossiped about and laughed at but not really bullied at work, so I don't have any good advice.


What's your favorite childhood memory?

That is a lot of good and bad. :) Maybe getting to kiss Lisa what's her name out in the backyard while her friends giggled and you could tell the other little boys were jealous by their behavior. It is one of those moments when everything seemed perfect in the world as in a storybook and the future looked bright without any problems that I possibly couldn't handle.



Are you impervious to anything, e.g. peer pressure, pain, bad advice?
