I'm Amanda. I'm 19. I tend to like things. I especially like making lists about myself, other people and my viewpoints. I also like animals, feeling safe, remembering things and looking at / taking pictures. Some things I DON'T like include math, vomit, conflict and post-traumatic stress disorder.

  • Obsessing over guys.
  • Impulsive shopping for things I don't need.
  • Biting my nails.
  • Chewing on my lip.
  • Wasting time (on the computer mainly).
  • Procrastinating.
  • Skipping school when I have too much anxiety. (This one has been happening for the longest).
  • Saying I will be right downstairs, and then staying upstairs for half an hour.
  • Not practicing my vocal or piano lessons.
  • Avoiding people when there is conflict.
  • Shutting down & zoning out entirely whenever there is conflict. (To the point that I have no idea what is going on anymore).
  • Being self-absorbed as a method of self-defence. (If you don't talk or think about other people's problems, you don't hurt as much for them. Etc. This is the habit I'm working hardest on changing right now (Feb 2011))
  • Not doing chores.
  • Being defensive.
  • Yelling at people during conflict to defend myself.
  • Staying shut-up in my room.
  • Forgetting things between rooms.
  • Not trusting people; not getting to know them out of fear that they will drop me.
  • Not chewing my food properly :o(
  • Not deleting texts that I send and receive.
  • Waiting for someone else to answer the phone when it rings.
  • Eating too much chocolate!!!
  • Saying "Shit" a lot.
  • Criticizing food that smells weird.
  • Acting like a kid when it comes to my voice patterns and interests (animated movies, etc.) I know that this is mostly because I started to obsessively play it up when my ex boyfriend gave me one of his rare compliments (me being cute). I need to change this more than almost anything else.
  • At the same time, still being very "in" to Disney and other kid-stuff not only because of the compliment, but also because it's a comfort and those things aren't overwhelming.
