Confusing, I hope.

I'm an asshole, it's why I stay away from most people so i don't upset them.

Looking at the state of the planet and how people treat each other, I have no real issues with that.

I'm tired, boss.

Inhales deeply

Hmmmm….notes of hydrogen, yes, bit of calcium and phosphorus there too and- OOH! Is that a hint of tetrahydrocannabinol I’m detecting there???

I'm naughty by nature.

Traumatised and avoidant.

Are you asking people to... What, exactly? ...
I guess I'm dumb and inquiring then

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I’m kind of a dirtbag if I’m being completely honest.

Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me.

I'm the protagonist of a show that got cancelled once I could dress myself.

Electric. Path of least resistance all the way. Do not touch.

MTF, but I grew used to be a guy.

Due to recent viewing habits, I've been revisiting the idea that I'm basically science-uniformed Picard from the Q-generated alternative timeline where he never did anything rash or exciting, but lately I've realised that even he's above my level. He was still on the flagship after all.

Now I'm starting to think I'm more like whatever small mammal he was turning into during that whole retrograde evolution episode.

Basically can't handle stress, constant need to be somewhere safe, warm and dry, ASAP.

Don't be so hard on yourself! I'm sure you're just one catastrophic heart failure away from greatness 👍

[–] zz31da@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

Prosociality/"goodness", like everyone else.

But in particular: I'm a judgemental (not negative or positive, I'm just always making "judgments" which I often communicate) but at the same time easy going (except when I feel in danger and my anger issues/childhood trauma show their ugly heads!), empathetic and sentimental procrastinator who is mostly detached from desire of material possessions (I didn't make myself, I just am that way, and it certainly makes life easier since wanting little means I always live within my means, lol).

I don't believe in astrology but I'm still a typical Gemini Water Pig anyway.

A small happy storm cloud, watching the fascinating change of scenery as I started drifting over a desert
