[...] I remember doing the Johari and Nohari windows in my high school psychology class. Basically, they are an exercise to see what you and others think of yourself. I thought it was pretty interesting at the time, but instantly filed it away in the nether regions of the old cellar that is my brain — until Avitable brought it back. [...]

Jay, I don’t know – I think you are the real King of the Internet.

That was actually pretty interesting. It’s hard to do because some of the words sound pretty harsh and everyone wants to qualify the degree to which they think you are some of the “bad” words.

And everyone wants to be nice all the time.

I’m probably going to do this too. I won’t get nearly as many responses as you did though.

Heather, I guess I'm just a bastard, then, because I can still see the faults and negative qualities of even my bestest friends. Turnbaby, yeah, some of them are obviously random, which is okay. Scout's Honor, now you're just a dirty, guilty, mean, judgy, bitchy Republican. Mari, that's what I think, too. There's always some judging going on. Poppy, I don't get it. Kris, good point. A bitch is a good, powerful thing, in my opinion.

I don’t understand the positive/negative words. It’s all in perspective.

People call me a bitch like it’s a bad thing.

:shrug:

Well crap. Most of these people felt bad about the Nohari, they don’t want to judge you – blah, blah, blah. Thing is, of *course* we all judge you. Apparently we deem you acceptable (freaky porn links aside) enough to hang out here. Perception is a tricky beast, much more about me than you.
Anyhow, I don’t really want to know what people think of me. Maybe just the lowest common denominator – do they like me? Way more than that, I don’t want people to know what *I* think. I was raised to be polite (even if I despise the bastards) – they’ve got no business in my head! ‘Cept you, cause you asked. :angel:

I did it, but the negative choices s made me feel like a guilty, mean, judgy, bitchy Republican.

Oh wait…nothing new there.

Still I didn’t like. I did it, but I didn’t like it and now I feel dirty.

Pthffffwttt! :banghead:

This was interesting to do after the passing of time and ‘knowing’ you more.

I also liked reading other people’s ‘picks’ although there are some I truly shake my head at.

Dude. That was HORRIBLE! The Nohari window, at least. I HATE doing that! I HATE telling people what I don’t like about them. And honestly? I was reaching. Because I like you and if I like the person? It would take finding out that person is a serial killer for me to have a negative opinion of them.

I think it’s great you did this and want to know the good as well as the bad. But the bad? Was so hard to fill out.
