You have made that abundantly clear so far. And in so little space!
Gotta let you know what you're dealing with.
Anyways, let's get to the age verification shall we?
I assumed we were operating on your schedule.
Right right we were. What's a word that accurately defines your personality?
"Thoughtful".
What makes you thoughtful? Are you talking about thoughtfulness in the empathetic sense?
I chose the word intentionally, because it works in at least two senses: I am full of thought generally and I do things that exhibit evidence of having thought about others.
So would you consider yourself the most thoughtful person in your friend group, or your family, and what is it that you believe causes your thoughtfulness? Maybe it's upbringing, or life experiences
I don't compare myself to others along that axis, so I don't know. Also, it's very easy for a person to see themself as being superior to others when it comes to positive qualities such as that one.
As for why I'm like this, I imagine it's a combination of doing well in the genetic lottery combined with having reached a point of general comfort in my life that means I don't suffer from the same desperation-induced inward focus that others do.
Vary interesting. I definitely agree with the superiority complex thing. Tell me more about your personal relationships, that may include friends, family and partners. What do you hope to enhance, or are striving for within them?
To treat them with more compassion. To react less sharply. For them to feel safer around me and with me.
Okay, how thoughtful hehe. In what way do you wish to make an impact either in a field or to people around you, and are you actually moving towards it?
I help software professionals make sense of and make peace with the dysfunction in their workplace. And I believe I'm doing that fairly well.
Oh, so like an organizational consultant. That's nice. How long have you been doing it for?
It seems like an answer to that question risks rather trivially giving away my age, so I won't answer that one. 😉
Oh come on man😅. That ain't fair. I need something to go off of. Okay, do you travel a lot? And if you do, tell me some of the places you've been to
I travel a lot now. I traveled a lot in the past. I travel across Canada now and I traveled around Europe in the past. I have traveled a lot between Munich and the western Russia border.
I lived for three months in Reykjavík, for three months in Mazatlán, and for parts of a few years I lived a few months per year in Stockholm.
Ok, i think i have an age in mind. You haven't given me much to go on, but i have a hunch you might be in your 50s. Maybe 51?
Close enough. I made it too easy for you. 👍
No you didn't make it easy for me😂. You didn't even answer one of the questions that would've made it easy. Although i guess your not answering kinda gave me a clue too. Anyways, thanks for playing:D
