I'll add a few honorable mentions that weren't listed in this poll. The 5 I voted for were the only 1s listed I really liked :arrow:
Very affectionate with romantic partners
Needy & clingy with romantic partners
Ditzy
Sensitive
Is a major outsider or relates to one of these cultural groups~ Dork, EMO, Goth, Punk, Hippy, or Anarchist


I'm confused by these.

Why do you actively want someone who is ditzy or needy/clingy?

There's very little overlap between dorks/nerds/geeks and hippies, or between either of those and goth/punk/emo/anarchist. Are you just looking for any outsider culture to belong to?
I'm needy & clingy with my romantic partners & it caused major problems in my 2nd relationship because she liked having more space & independence & I felt pushed away. I'm kinda forgetful & misunderstand things a bit & others tend to not take me seriously as a result. My 2nd gf took charge in our relationship believing she knew better than me since she was smarter. Plus I find ditzy behavior very funny & cute.

I actually have characteristics of all those groups & different people have compared me to all of them at some point. At the risk of sounding like a giant narcissist, I tend to have an easier time relating & understanding people who are more like me.

Agreeableness was something I hadn't really thought about, or what it even meant in practice, until I saw a recent YouTube video that talked about it. I'll link it below, rather than embedding it in the post. She talks about what agreeableness is between the 1 minute and 3 minute mark roughly, and essentially describes it as the opposite of antagonism. Anyway, I liked her explanation and I think agreeableness is something that's important to me, personally.

The vid was interesting, Thanx for posting that. I had kinda thought that agreeable meant going along with others. One reason I didn't pick agreeableness is because I need others to be direct & tell me if I'm crossing boundaries, if they have a problem with my behavior, & voice concern if they have concerns or objections to an idea of plan I have instead of just going along & then resenting me for it. I guess I was thinking about extreme agreeableness. As for as myself, some would think that I'm too agreeable & others would think that I'm antagonistic, & others would think I'm somewhere between.

Glad you found the video interesting.

Yeah, I know what you mean, that's pretty much why I wouldn't have chosen "Agreeable" in the past. It's also why I felt it important to choose "Self-confident" too.
