jumping on the johari thing

There weren't like any negative adjectives that I sort of really wanted, maybe that's fucked up.

(note, my brain keeps saying "Jopari" which is a character in HDM).

I think the point may be that so many people focus on the negative, ignoring the positive. So maybe this is to get you thinking about the good qualities that you feel you have as well as what others see in you.

But it does include things like "nervous"

To me, "nervous" is neutral. I mean, in some cases it can be a good thing. Like, if it's preventing you from being flighty and spontaneously jumping into something that is high-risk, then it can be a good thing. If it's preventing you from living a normal life, well then it's a bad thing.

Just my guess...

This is weird, how it shakes down. Like you don't realize you're clever?

I like how it's called Johari because Joe and Harry created it. It sounds all Native American though.

Well also, there were words where it was, "well, yeah, I'm that, but if I'm only supposed to choose 6, that's not so important" like -- there must be 10 different words for smart on there.

I'm bugged by the fact that, despite it telling you to 'give a name so that so-and-so knows who you are' when you fill it in for someone, I can't access any individuals' assessments of me. I am, however, surprised by some of the words under 'unknown', and I'm also not surprised to see some others. It was a tough tussle for me to not choose 'dignified' for myself, and wow, I must really hide my introversion well ;O)
