how can i change?

Congratulations, you are human

Seriously though, don't worry about that test. Those are normal human feelings.

Is there's something that has been bothering you for a while?
Why are people telling you that? Have you displayed strong negative emotions?
How are you feeling right now?

If you feel like changing, you might have to start seeing things from another perspective.
I got 68% on the test, btw.

I guess i must be saying negative things. Some call me a pessimist as well
I only say what comes to mind, say it how i see it

I am feeling like i don't connect or fit in

I used to do that too, but then I felt that people don't feel right when I said negative things and then I started to pretend that everything is ok because people don't want to get sad.
Maybe this is not the best thing to do, but at least I wasn't "transfering" my sadness to them and it was a little better because it didn't feel like my conversations always go to a dead end.

I scored 67%.

Neuroticism, also known inversely as Emotional Stability, refers to the tendency to experience negative emotions. Those who score high on Neuroticism may experience primarily one specific negative feeling such as anxiety, anger, or depression, but are likely to experience several of these emotions. People high in Neuroticism are emotionally reactive. They respond emotionally to events that would not affect most people, and their reactions tend to be more intense than normal. They are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. Their negative emotional reactions tend to persist for unusually long periods of time, which means they are often in a bad mood. These problems in emotional regulation can diminish a neurotic's ability to think clearly, make decisions, and cope effectively with stress.

I scored a 70%, but I don't think that's a very good test. Or maybe not for me, because I can separate myself from emotions. Like how I'm paranoid and there's a constant feeling like something bad is going to happen and I don't trust anyone, I don't let it bother me or affect how I act.
Maybe I'm more inwardly neurotic and outwardly not?
