Your Defense Mechanism is Isolation

When life gets to be too much to handle, you just withdraw. You rather not deal with things.
You tend to be a very isolated person. You want to connect to others, but you don't know where to start.

The problem with withdrawing from the world is that it's hard to reintegrate yourself when you're ready.
Instead of pulling back when you have problems, it would be better for you to reach out.

Your Defense Mechanism is Regression

Post it now!

Problems? What problems? You are pretty good at avoiding what's wrong in your life.
Whenever you're feeling down, you just blow off steam.

You may be irresponsible and immature, but at least you don't let yourself get stressed out.
Everyone needs to be a little naughty every now and then!

Your Defense Mechanism is Displacement

You have a lot of pent up emotions, and they tend to come out fairly inappropriately.
You tend to take things out on those closest to you... because it's safe to do so.

While you are able to get some emotional release, you're hurting the people who love you.
Even though it may harder to confront what's really going on, it's probably for the best.

Your Defense Mechanism is Sublimation

Compared to most people, you handle your problems very well.
You're good at channeling negative energy into positive energy. You know how to change your perspective.

You turn bad events into opportunities. You find strength in dealing with your problems.
You are inspired and productive. Some may describe you as a "tortured genius" - but you're not that tortured.
