2. Do you love to spend time in nature?

I like a good hike now and then, nature can be very rejuvenating.

If it’s really horrific I might be affected some, but I will get through it quickly

Absolutely, I’m always the first person a friend comes to.
Definitely not me
Sometimes me, but not all my friends all the time

I don’t get them at all.
I understand that they are different and a bit about why, but I don’t fully see their side.
I totally get where they are coming from even if they can’t fully articulate it, that doesn’t mean I necessarily change, but I can understand
7. Have you ever been publicly overwhelmed by emotions without warning?

Yes, I find myself suddenly crying in public and I can’t pinpoint why.
That would be weird, absolutely not
I might feel something suddenly, but I’m quickly able to suppress it before I express it.
8. Can you tell when someone is lying?

Easily
Almost never
Sometimes I get an inkling, but I’m not sure.
9. Do some people just totally drain you?

Not really, I find myself really energized around others
Not totally, I don’t let it get that bad, but I have to be aware with some people
Yes, sometimes I’m with a person and I need to just leave and take a long nap no matter the time of day.
10. A new person enters the room, their eyes are downcast and their arms are crossed over their body, what do you do?

Nothing, I probably don’t even notice them.
I notice them and clock that they might be a bit upset, but I temper my response, I don’t need to get involved.
Oh no! I hope they are okay, I wonder if I should go check in on them, maybe I will, but I can ease into it.
