I live with strong internal standards and I expect myself and others to live up to those standards. It is my mission in life to improve the world, whether this be; how the bed should be made or fighting for the rights of others. I can be highly self controlled, critical and even perfectionistic which can make me feel irritated. I can be a lot of fun when relaxed, which is usually after the to-do list is complete.

I focus a lot of my time and attention on caring for others. Caring for others gives me a sense of satisfaction and makes me feel good. I am a generous and warm person and I find making friends easy. I like to think that often people are drawn to be friends with me. With all this helping others, I can easily find I forget to look after my own needs and I can find it really hard to ask for help - maybe because I like to be the helpful one

I am a driven and highly competent person. I don’t often admit it, but success and being recognised for my achievements is very important to me, which makes me very competitive. This can mean that I can focus on how I look to others whether through my appearance, how I sound or what achievements I have under my belt. I think that I am very good at motivating and encouraging others, making me a successful leader

I am a creative, unique and authentic person. I worry that something is missing but I’m not quite sure what it is I need to find. I am able to see all that is beautiful in this world in a way which others don’t seem to be able to and I have a kinship with a range of emotions from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. This can sometimes lead to me feeling overwhelmed and often misunderstood as being 'overly emotional'.

I have a strong need to be capable, competent and knowledgeable. Obtaining in depth or vast amounts of knowledge helps me feel secure, for me knowledge is power and there’s something very satisfying about knowing more about something than someone else. It’s important to me that I know when I’ll next get time to withdraw from the world and spend time alone as sometimes it feels like the world demands too much of me.

I am a very faithful and loyal person, whether that be too friendships, work or romantic relationships. I have a frequent tendency to think about worst case scenarios. Knowing everything that could go wrong in any given situation helps me to feel secure and prepared. I have a suspicion and distrust for authority. For me, authority shouldn’t be trusted until it’s been proven trustworthy, after which I’ll be there until the end.

I am a fun, energetic and optimistic person. I struggle with indecision as there are always so many avenues that I am interested in and want to take. Because of this I feel like I am constantly missing out because I can’t do everything at once - although I’ll certainly try!! I have a strong desire to be happy and I don’t like uncomfortable, painful feelings so I’ll see a silver lining in every cloud to avoid feeling sad.

Truth, authenticity and integrity are very important to me therefore I say it as it is - I honestly don’t see the point in beating around the bush. I have a strong need to protect myself and others which means that I need to be strong and in control, especially if I am advocating for others. This can make it difficult for me to show my vulnerable side and be vulnerable with people unless I really trust them and feel comfortable with them.

I am a warm and friendly person who gets along with almost everyone. I don’t like conflict and therefore I avoid it by keeping the peace. I do this by going with the flow, not wanting to voice my own preferences in order to not rock the boat. I have very rarely been angry but if I were I would probably withdraw and hope that you would notice.
