Optimism and friendliness characterize people, like you, whose personality color is Orange.

---

You are friendly and nurturing, but may need to take care that your good nature doesn’t lead others to unload all their frustrations on you without any reciprocation.

---

People whose personality color is Orange aren’t typically big party people. You prefer smaller gatherings where you can engage with everyone else.

---

You’re whimsical and value zaniness in others. You’re also bubbly, in an infectious, happy, joyful way. You see the best in people, despite what others may say about them. And you’re a forgiver—to a fault.

---

As a hopeless romantic, breaking connections is difficult for you. When you open your heart, it’s all or nothing. This means you love deeper, but also that heartbreak hurts more. You may never stop loving former flames, with hopes of one day rekindling. But you are never opposed to new opportunities for love and connection.

; Tate è più tipo da organizzare i mega party, ma sì, per il resto ci prende moltissimo. Cosa divertente: l'arancione è il suo colore preferito.

I can't answer this on my own so I asked my circle. I surveyed (hahaha) 9 people ages 20+ who were with me for at least 2 years (includes then classmates, colleagues, and friends). And they demanded to make it 3 cutest/adorable things about me since they can't chose only 1 daw. I directly copy-paste their answers and translate some words. I also copy-paste the emojis they included in their responses. Here are their answers:

---

F1: ur nose/eyes, out of this world questions, ur personality
F2: ur optimism, willingness to listen and help, repeating a song million times before moving on to another song 😑
F3: ur eyes/skin/collarbone, clingy moods, speaking voice
F4: ur kindness, ur pretty face (libre mo ko), big appetite but never get fat (naol)
F5: ur humility/gratefulness to almost everything, ur screams and tago-paa and tago-to-kumot mode when watching horror movies 😂😂🤣, ur appeal 😎
F6: ur cheerfulness, skin/eyes, witty responds
F7: u talking to plants and animals 😏, wit, sudden shift to cold aura when u hear people talking ill things about ur loved ones or simply u don't like the person
F8: ur glares/pouts when not getting what u want, calmness in almost all situation , smile/eyes
F9: ur childishness and ignorance to some things, ur grateful heart, nose/eyes

Because jab andar andhera hota he tou bahar roshni achi nahi lagti.🤷🏻
Jokes apart, as a society, we're not very comfortable in revealing our true inner self struggles due to diff: factors such as judgment, labels, stereotypes and prejudices...
We're afraid to ask for help because we feel like 'what if the other person judges us' and what if the other person feels burdened...?

---

So in case of any triggering situation, we prefer to either withdraw or isolate ourselves, because the fear of being misunderstood is so much strong k communication initiate hi nahi ki jaa rahi hoti bohot se logon se...

---

Ab is situation main jo negative thought hota he aur us se associated jo negative emotions ya feelings generate hoti hain, wo sab for the time being isolation aur withdrawal ki waja se suppress tou ho jati hain, but eliminate ya channelize nahi hotin, they're bottled up inside us and because of the lack of support and nurturance from the environment in most of the cases, we're unable to express our true inner selves emotionally atleast....

---

And these bottled up emotions have a huge impact on how we behave and perceive things....

---

So all these bottled up emotions, if not channelized, if left untreated, if left unattended, give rise to diff: mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and so on....

---

And in long run agar ye situation cater nahi ki jaye, ya coping mechanism na ho tou aik "pessimistic thought pattern" develop hona is very easy....

---

So technically, Light represents optimism, hope, life, openness and opportunities whereas Darkness represents hopelessness, depression, isolation, grief, dead-end, threat and failure.....

---

That is why, in most of the cases, we're drawn towards darkness because it represents our internal self struggles... 🌼

I'm assuming you're American yourself so I wont dispute what you say.
I certainly agree we are in what I call the 'primacy of the moron.'
The right are experts at manipulating the gullible into thinking that supporting them is patriotic , they conflate themselves with the good of the country, at least here in Europe it looks like Macron may win tho it is appalling how the far right has to some extent been normalised even in France,
Listening to Gaetz, Cawthorne, MTG, Boebert, Hawley, Cruz and Johnson etc is profoundly dispiriting,
I still feel the progressive centre and left can hold , my fear is not so much the politics per se, it is the criminality that elements in the Republican party will engage in to either alter results or refuse to ratify them BUT sometimes the more people feel that they are being deliberately disenfranchised, they will be determined to vote and see that their vote is counted properly and honestly.

I just finished up my 3rd year of college, during which I finally got my act together and got good grades, while developing a stronger interest in my major. I have an internship at a great company, doing things I enjoy, and making good money, while practically being guaranteed a career come graduation. I am also finally together with the girl of my dreams, that I have been chasing for 2 years, and every moment I spend with her is better than the last.
Last summer; I lived like I was 13 again, but with all the perks of being 22. I had just graduated college, but hadn't gotten a job yet. I worked during college, so I had some spending money. It was the first time I had not worked or been In school since I was 13 or 14 and it was awesome. I worked-out every day for a couple hours and then had the rest of the day to watch movies, play videogames, read, hang out with friends or go out with my girlfriend. Then late in the summer I got a job and moved out. I always wish I could Just go back to that lifestyle.
When I was in my early 30s. I had been divorced long enough not to feel the pain anymore, and was starting to figure out what I really wanted out of life. My little girl was four, and she was getting interested in playing video games with me. I remember I had just gotten a new job after five years working a desk job for a company that didn't appreciate me. I lived with my best friend. I made plenty of money, and had no debt.
When I was in my early teens I used to sit with my father and play F-19 Stealth Fighter for hours on end. He was a flight instructor in the USAF at the time and taught me how I should be flying, why I was flying that way, and how to land a jet fighter (though without rudder pedals, he eventually gave up and let me roll the aircraft on approach). It was basically flight school (very) light; but, damn if it wasn't a lot of fun.
College, man. I had a few girlfriends, a dorm full of dudes that would be down for basketball or videogames or whatever at any time, I didn't have to cook or wash dishes, I spent my time studying a subject I enjoyed for its own sake, and there was way less bullshit to deal with in general. All of my crap was fixed with duct tape because I was dirt poor but so was everyone I knew, so it was OK. There was ALWAYS something fun to do, and it was so easy to meet new people and make friends. Life was, in short, easy, good, and connected in a warm network of social relations.
I was very optimistic about the future as a teen. Which felt great, I thought I could do/be anything. Learning about politics, learning about how difficult doing the things I thought I wanted to do with my life actually are and just generally becoming more nihilistic as I have gotten older has significantly dampened this optimism to the point I genuinely feel unsure if I even have a future. I still try to be somewhat optimistic but sometimes being optimistic just does not mesh well with being realistic which I also think is important.

Last night i needed her the most. I required a place where I could hide- talking to her could have been a camouflage for my vague thoughts. I was so dejected that for a moment I thought, I should come out of the room and start crying out loud or start running to nowhere. The trauma or sorrow of mine could have been avoided if we were still talking- i find solace in talking to her. I could have revealed another secret of mine to her just like i did it before. As she has the access to some dark secrets of mine so she also knows about my dark fantasy. Besides, there is not single day when I haven't missed her. I have prayed for her- she gets her hands on the best as she deserves the best of the best- for her beautiful present and unseen future, since we have stopped talking. About last night, I could have texted her, but I didn't want to as it wouldn't have been so mean of me to text her when I was having some problems. Forbye, when we spoke last time, she told me not to text her again ever, but I know i will one day and that will be the end of a story or start of a new one. My heart hopes, some day we will start talking again, but who knows what happens next?!

First and foremost, I am an optimist. I feel I have to be. There are plenty of people dragging eachother down with negativity, I do not feel the need or the right to add to it. This is something I would imagine that some people find as my refusal to see how things really are. On the contrary to this opinion, I see things with a suprising amount of clarity and it is for that reason that I HAVE to be optimistic about the future. If I lose my optimism, than I will lose my drive to work for the benefit of myself and others. I will no longer work for the greater good and will lose motivation to better myself. I find this notion really quite distasteful. I think I have a decent grasp. I'm introverted, dominant, funny, analytical. This is in layman terms. To scientifically understand personality a trait theory like the big 5 is useful. I don't recommend taking the MBTI very seriously, if you talk to a good psychologist they can explain why.
I am smart. Not a genius or anything like that, but enough brains to offset my flaws and have a good quality life and career with a reasonable effort. I guess I am actually really pretty smart. I am a huge volunteer. I give way too much of my time to volunteer activities, especially in and about the sport of figure skating. Keeping myself busy keeps me from angsting about my flaws. I am an outdoorsman. I spend every weekend somewhere invariably getting soaking wet. Being close to hyperthermic most weekends has a way of deflecting my thoughts from my flaws.
I'm particularly honest, unselfish, trustworthy and often have quiet dispositions. I'm known to keep a low profile. I'm also loyal, honest and intelligent. I'm easygoing and make natural friendships. Sometimes I'm easily cheated or decieved and I am prone to sloth and laziness. I'm often quite artistic, poetic or both! What I really like most about myself is how much I deeply care about others. Believe it or not, I have a very good heart. Even though some people are never there for me, I've always been there for other people because that's what a (good) human being does. As a little girl, I would feel guilty when I felt a negative feeling toward another person. It would make me feel so uncomfortable and confused. I wanted so much to stop and control bad feelings. In my little mind those kind of feelings were bad so of course I must be bad. As I got older, I realized the “what” about feelings but I just couldn’t explain “why”. And that’s the reason I fell in love with words. Words afforded me a mode of expression. So, I would search for clarity by writing about my feelings to embrace them and try to understand… and right up to this moment I’m still doing just that. I love to learn and create, but I’m very introverted, preferring my cats company to others. I love nature, music and beautiful things. People have told me all my life I am physically beautiful, but I feel as if it’s more important to be a beautiful person inside.

Old, but only recently. I can no longer imagine what (other than money) motivated me to go into a job I mostly hated for 30+ years, what it is like to face commuter traffic every fucking day, caring about the work "initiative" du jour and dealing with all that crap. More importantly, I see much decline around me (family members with cancer, wife with Alzhiemers, my beloved country turned to a crapfest of dishonesty and hate, run by an impetuous six year old, and quite frankly, I don't have the blind optimism of youth anymore. Somehow, this shit got real.
I'm both. I'm very jaded and I've been through a lot of trauma even though I'm only 20, so I guess that makes me an old soul. I love old music and I vibe well with people older than me. But I'm kind of a young soul too, because part of me still wants so much to have a fun, young life. Partying, traveling, etc. And I always see the best in people. So I guess I mean young as in naïve but also vibrant and fun loving and reckless.
I feel like I am a old soul do to how much knowledge I have of country music, people look at me weird or surprised when I can name off a song and the year it was released, and people find it strange that I like classic music and nothing else really
I don't know that I've ever been called an old soul, but at 22 years old I have been told I seem like a deep thinker and that I give very good advice. Possibly as a result I am the go-to confidant for four or five of my close friends (of whom some have been running their problems by me since I was 15). It could be because I draw a lot from the experiences I have had, or the perspective I take on life, or something else entirely. I don't really know. And yes. I've been called an old soul by close friends/family and mere acquaintances alike since I was in my early teens. I've always gotten along better socially and intellectually with people years older than me (or, other "old souls" around my age). When I was 20, I had a brief fling with a 38 year old, and he told me he'd regularly forget I wasn't his age. I take it as a compliment, but I think it's as much a curse as it is a blessing. There are real benefits to being able to relate socially and intellectually with your peers, and I have a really hard time doing that.
I have a very hard time relating to people my own age, it's pretty miserable. I can remember being 10 and the only people who I really enjoyed talking to were my teachers. It's still sort of that way, I've been asked to have coffee and chat by a few of my professors because they don't feel I'm operating at an undergraduate level. I can't really relate to the whole "college life" experience or people my own age because I feel like I've already moved passed that part of my life.
I was one of those kids who never really cried, and would usually sit quietly in my own corner and observe people, and I guess that made me somewhat of an anomaly at that age.

In terms of the original trilogy (I lost motivation to continue watching after The Last Jedi), I think it was very innovative for its time, in all senses of the word - the costumes and sets, how they filmed the space scenes in using small miniatures, the storyline, having an empowering female as one of the leads, etc.

It’s an enjoyable story, and it follows the classic Jungian, Bildungsroman archetype of a hero’s journey, of discovering who you are, growing as a person and facing your destiny. As a child, I always related strongly to Luke, and I think that played heavily in enjoying the films - finding a character where you felt you could see yourself in them. Especially in young childhood, that meant a lot to me, when I felt very isolated. Being able to escape to a galaxy far, far away and see different planets always intrigued me! The optimism of Luke, the snark of Han and the general badassery of Leia made a good team! (Honourable mentions to Chewie and the droids too ofc).

I haven’t watched the prequels in a long time, but I do feel sorry for Hayden Christensen, he played the role absolutely fine, it was the script that let him down, imo.

---

I haven’t watched the shows (Mandalorian, Star Wars Rebels, etc), but I’ve heard they’re very good :)
