Sounds Like: TYPE 82: You are a Pre-Adolescent Reactionary. Characterized primarily by your sudden (if zealous) jags of interest in or commitments to anything from niche self-improvement campaigns to paternal political figures, you have trouble recalling when and how important choices in your life were made, tending, instead, to describe negative-impacting events as things that "happened to you", while positive-impacting events (including your current fetishes) you contexualize as beginning "when you realized [x] was obviously true/exactly how you feel!" An introvert at heart (most likely compounded by profound social anxiety), your lack of success in the few arenas you were willing to hedge your efforts in while still an adolescent led to your regression from adult-life back into a child-like "me-centered" existence where your needs (now barely concealed as "traditional"/patriachy sanctioned white, male privilege) are met by those few still willing to do so. You describe this process of social alienation as "learning who your real friends are!" Gay people and sexually-mature women (who are not your mother) make you uncomfortable as your very adult attraction to either (or both!) is terrifying. You are most dangerous to those you rely on to maintain your shaky hold on your variously borrowed identities (i.e.- older brother figures, male teachers, charismatic people who don't immediately belittle you). You like big ideas as technical details fail to engage you emotionally. Your favorite thing to describe is yourself. You sometimes mention that you practice a martial art, the name of which you pronounce with a precise care to accent. You have a hard time loving yourself don't understand why other people do.
