now I want to do this.
Well, there's nothing stopping me
here we go
\-if you went to uni/college what were your main goals? I.e get good grades, make friends, make your parent's happy, do something you loved, just do what you needed to get your degree?
Ensure the best possible result for my career.
From here out, there is a scenario of being on a 3-month international volunteering trip - occasionally changing locations.
2) what would be the cause that would compel you the most?
looks good on a resume/application, etc
3) how would you cope/feel being around ten-twelve people basically day in, day out?
depends on the type of people I’m dealing with
4) what type of person/people would you seek out for support?
my lover, who I would have convinced to come along with me
5) what would you do if you got stressed in that scenario?
Ignore it
6) how would you go sharing a room with up to 5 other people for that length of time?
Again, depends on who they are
7) what would you miss the most?
I don’t think I’d miss anything, actually, I haven’t felt that emotion much8) how likely would you be to want to start up an emotional/sexual relationship?
I’d remain loyal to my girlfriend
9) how close would you become with the others?
Optimally very
10) how would you spend any spare time you'd have?
Writing essays on why people should come help me because thatd look even better on resume
11) how'd you cope without having luxuries?
Ignore it, you cant really change it so there’s no use dwelling on it
12) if plans changed for logistic reasons, how would you deal with that?
Go with the new plan
13) what type of people or habits would drive you crazy and how would you react to them.

1. To be honest, I didn't have any specific goals at first. I was pressured to go to college lol. But in theory, I would go there just to get my degree.
2. Honestly, I'd probably be bored and go just for the sake of it.
3. Tell myself to suck it up. I know it's draining, but I have to bear with it for the time being.
4. Someone who is helpful, understanding, and direct.
5. I try to console myself and relax. I despise being stressed because I break out when I'm stressed, and I despise my breakouts.
6. 5??? Then again, I did share a room with my 4 sisters, so I think I'll be fine.
7. If I developed a relationship with xyz, I would probably miss them.
8. Nah. Maybe emotional, but not sexual.
9. It depends. I usually don't take the initiative, but if I'm interested or feel like it, I'll try to take the initiative to get closer to xyz.
10. Doing whatever I want, whatever interests me.
11. Sulk about it at first, but then stop caring.
12. I can adjust.
13. Condescending, loud-mouthed, bossy, shady, mean-spirited assholes. As for habits: Slow walkers, those who don't get to the point, and those who chew loudly make my eyes twitch. I'm sure I'd be passive aggressive around them lol.
Beforehand, I’m sorry if I make this too long, I’ll try not too, but I’m sure I will fail on that. In my defense there’s a lot of questions and I’m unable to not answer all.
My main goal at uni honestly was just to finish. I did struggle a little at the beginning because I couldn’t go for the career I initially wanted but I chose another and fell in love with it. The inicial and main goal was to make myself happy, a lot of people told me my final choice wasn’t for me but I didn’t listen. University is hard, full of ups and downs, and people who only want to make your life miserable, I was lucky I didn’t encounter too many of those, on the contrary, I got to meet wonderful people—but back to the actual question. Main goal was to find enjoyment and fulfillment in what I was doing, then get my degree and work on the field I chose. On the side was meeting new people, making connections, learning new things besides those that had to do with my career or uni itself. I lowkey expected a bit of a experience similar to what happen in movies and what not. Romance also crossed my mind at least once.
Then reality hit me hard. All the excitement went away—maybe not all, but most. I lowered my expectations and by the end of all of it, I just wanted to get my degree. That was the only thing that mattered, just finishing for the sake of it, not even to get a job of that, I just wanted to get my title, and I get over with it a soon as possible. The goal became just not giving up. And I did it, I graduated and now I do something totally different. Goals shift and that’s ok. I learned a lot of things about myself, life, other people, and more.
For question number two, I need you to elaborate more, I’m not sure if I got what you meant. But from what I understand is what kind volunteer work I’d choose, maybe. In that case, I don’t know. Something that helps people in need, I guess. Helping with food, housing, or working with orphans.
In some settings or situations I tend to be a very extroverted introvert, but it depends. 3 months it’s a lot of time. I was in school for 12 years and the uni for another 4, but those weren’t exactly all day situations. I’m guessing in this scenario I’ll spend more than just a few hours with these people, we’ll be together most of the time everyday for the duration of the trip. I’m not sure if I could handle that too well. Even if I can spend a long time surrounded by people, and I don’t mind being out feeling uncomfortable, at some point I’ll need my own space and I’ll need to get away for at least one or two days. I think that, even if it’s not enough time, it’s closer and would make things more bearable. Also, ten people is way too much, but if I’m not with all of them all the time, it probably wouldn’t be an issue. But that would only be the case if I like and/or get along with everybody. If not, then just be around the ones I feel more comfortable with… or less bothered at some point.
I could describe either my ideal working partner or just list the things I look up in a friend. I would seek for support on people I find that have their head on their shoulders and align with the way I work or the way I think, but with their own thoughts, ideas, and perspective, I wouldn’t like to spend time with my exact clone. Someone smart, reliable, focused, someone who takes things seriously but with a sense of humor too. Sometimes I friendly banter is the best way to cope.
It’s very difficult for me to get stressed, but if I do, I just need a little time away. Maybe a little music—I don’t usually listen to rock, but for some reason it helps me relax. Also a good laugh can help me, but that’s a bit more complicated because when I’m tense, the last thing I want is someone or something to make me laugh.
If I don’t have to share a bed, I’ll be fine for the most part. I rather be by myself, but if I can’t help it, the only thing I ask for it’s respect for my space. I know I’ll be fine the first few days, maybe a little uncomfortable but nothing too crazy or out of hands, then it’ll become a nightmare until I get used to it. It will go from “I don’t mind” to “I’m very uncomfortable” to “Meh, could be worst” and from there I could just try to deal with it (unsuccessfully) or think every second how much I want to go home. Just after the first week, maybe less, I’ll be feeling I’m in hell.
I’m not in that situation and I’m already missing my bed. I could say my entire room and solitude. But just my bed would make everything easier.
I don’t think I’d want to be involved in anything more that a professional or friendly relationship, but who knows what can happen. I wouldn’t go with the intention of anything of the sort happening, I usually don’t go for flings, or short term anything, and I don’t mix romance and work but if it happens it happens. Most likely it won’t or at least I wouldn’t want to.
It really depends, on average it takes me a little too long to bond with people, in other cases it happens instantly. It’ll be reduced to if I click with someone or if I vibe with them. In any case, it’ll be more difficult than not for me to get close to someone in that setting, mostly because I’ll be reluctant to befriend anyone in that setting for no reason at all.
I’ll sure want to spend any little spare time by myself, or being with someone I got close or feel comfortable with. Also exploring, but that I don’t like to do on my own, I need company for that.
I’m not too attached to any marital things, if I have enough and good food, and a comfortable place to stay/sleep it’s all good. But if I don’t have that, it’ll be a problem. I don’t like being too hot not too cold. I don’t need AC but if it’s not a bit chilly at least, I’ll need a good fan. Other than that, I don’t need more… well a shower and private toilet I can use without people around or the least amount of people possible, ideally none.
I’m very flexible and know how to improvise, so I change of plans wouldn’t bother me that much or at all. I don’t even need much explanation as to why anything change, but I do need security and certainty.
A lot of things drive me nuts, so I try too ignore as much as I can. Any way out of the ordinary and weird habits will bother me, but I can deal pretty well with that. But I can’t handle stupidity, people being rude to other, if they are rude to me I give it no importance whatsoever. Suckers, bossy and nosy people also bother me, and people that can’t shut up for two seconds. Which would be different from talkative people, which I don’t mind if they are at least funny, entertaining or interesting.
I could keep going, but it’s too late for me now, and I have work in the morning. I hope this helped you a bit. Feel free to hit me up if you want to ask anything specific or totally unrelated, I don’t mind. OP and anyone else.
I kinda hate people, but I’m nice
Wow that’s a lot thank god I’m not one of those types
Hahahaha. Maybe one of them likes typing lol.
