Food and Covert narcissism disguised as altruism

1. Laziness in some things (cleaning and doing laundry)

2. Allergy to paperwork

3. Once I start writing, I see nothing, hear nothing.

4. Inability to give up on certain arguments, esp if it has something to do with women's rights.

My no-filter tongue. I am practising taking a long breath or gulping down water rather than retaliating instantly; sometimes, it works.

It's a good thing to have such a tongue, shows your confidence. Not many people have that quality.

Tu safar mera

Hai tu hi meri manzil

Tere bina guzara

Ae dil hai mushkil

Tu mera khuda

Tu hi duaa mein shaamil

Tere bina guzara

Ae dil hai mushkil

I am really good at compartmentalization. Always have been. But it is a weakness because people at the receiving end will never understand why I do the things I do.

I am not too proud; it mainly worked in my favour. I was always talkative and Blacksheep in the family; I probably unintentionally developed the habit of having no filter to keep my relatives at bay, who were hell-bent on making me a well-behaved one. As a teenager and adolescent, it worked like a charm for me as a defence mechanism, but not much for my mother; she had to bear the brunt of my relatives/teachers for raising me like that. It didn't make sense since my sister was the exact opposite of me, pleasant, obedient, people pleaser like my mother. Unlike my sister, I grew up in a boarding school not with my parents and am more like my father; they don't have the guts to confront him.

As an adult, I don't particularly appreciate how it integrated with my personality; I am afraid I might become a reason for taking away someone's confidence. Volunteering and on-street activism made a difference, though.

Thank you! I knew there was a term for my ex’s behavior on LinkedIn all day everyday

I have three weaknesses.

• I’m a cry baby
• Stray cats. It literally ruins my entire day just thinking about whether they have food or shelter.
• I have a guilt conscience that exceeds the norm. I can easily confess to a crime that I haven’t even committed or feel guilty over something I haven’t even done. 😒
