Your relationships are somewhat impersonal and center more on shared interests and/or lust than shared emotions. You are likely to be shy.



Hahaha... That's all really true about me. I'm often keeping distance with people but my best friends. And yes, I'm more interested to talk about my interest or crush than sharing my emotion with them. Then of course I'm shy. I'm rather awkward in socializing with strangers.

Your Bonding Quadrant: Merging

Summary: You tend to live in your own head and do not get too invested in the details of others' lives, but you do make an effort to hold onto important relationships, especially sexual/romantic ones. It is important that your relationships be close and intense while not robbing you of your autonomy. You are likely to be shy and to expend much of your mental energy towards self-doubt, shame, embarrassment, etc. If you haven't done so already, consider sexual masochism as a hobby.

:O.....lol kinda accurate......love tends to hurt and I tend to love the pain. mmmmmm...I'm completely vanila otherwise, really (those who know, know whut I'm talking about).

Thing is I tend to be self centered and uninterested in making many friends (aka likes to avoid people he doesen't find interesting), was shy in the beginning and anxious (day 1 to about 20 yrs). Nowadays it get over it quickly and I'm really just too lazy to interact when not interested.

\o/ omg this sounds so bad lmao.
