2) Wow! All right, which ones of the above traits do you suffer from? LOL! Now there's another loaded question (like many asked of me when the books were being compiled!). I'd have to admit to the last three (victim-hood, doormat syndrome, lack of assertiveness) as being severe problems of my past -- hopefully not of my future. I do have some super solid protections in place now to prevent anymore nonsense in my future. All things considering, if I make it to my future! As far as the victim-hood thing goes, empathy and work-able solutions and/or aid is a wonderful thing, but I must caution all readers, "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!" Seriously, the victimization routine is purely lousy -- it's a perpetual low point of one's life. Please be careful to protect yourselves from it! Being a door-mat or lacking assertiveness which leads to becoming a door-mat isn't good either and most ladies do it when they're young, naïve, and/or stupid because they were taught that's how you are nice to people and you've always got to be nice! Ick! Don't be afraid to be something a lot less than nice and passive! Your life may depend on it someday!
3) Are there more items that you believe ought to go on that long list of traits and behaviors that irk you? Sure there are, but I definitely don't want to think of them all right now!
4) You mentioned a few things more than once, like low-impulse control, for instance. Why is this? Because there are certain things that I wish to tolerate even less than others! I can imagine I should have repeated items I didn't repeat because this list, as all question and answer sessions, was done off the cuff. Please forgive the typos -- I'm positive they exist in that long list especially!
5) What do you believe will become of your future? I truly have no idea whatsoever. It's up to fate and sheer luck right now.
6) How many of the listed traits have you seen in others? Too many.
7) What is your favorite poem on this website? Probably the work entitled, "Sinister Lull".
