you don't seem to know what you want out of life.
as i always tell my husband, you could rely a bit more on logic rather than feelings.
have you checked into housing subsidies yet? if not, you're procrastinating on taking care of yourself as best possible.
you are loving.
you are smart.
you are creative.
you are industrious (nanowrimo comes to mind immediately).
you are brave enough to share about yourself and even to ask for feedback.
No one seems to know what they want out of life. Now that I think about it, that seems like kind of an odd phrase...aren't you always "in" life instead of out of it?
I may have pointy ears, but I'm not a Vulcan.
I'm checking subsidized housing right now. Thanks for reminding me.
Zack: Aww, thanks.
No worries. You're not embarrassing me.

I have a request to make, for everyone here in general, and it might be a difficult one.
My request is: please make a list of three or five points each, of negative things about me. I've been trying lately to examine "my dark side", and I figured that having multiple outside perspectives might help a lot.
I'm imagining your dark side is like this.
That made me burst out laughing! Thank you! That really cheered me up!
I agree that you are very brave to ask for frank feedback. Not so in agreement with logic v's feelings. Those feelings can be the best way to help us understand ourselves.
My darkside (or shadow side as we call it in the trade) comes out when there is some kind of injustice or unfairness and especially for the oppressed. Also when I am driving. I used to have very dark thoughts towards people who didn't pick up their dog poo and traffic wardens.
It helps me to examine my bahaviour and feelings around certain events or situations to discover what might be underneath or where such strong forces come from. Then I get to know myself better.
We used to do an exercise called the 'johari window' where we would take turns to help each other understand our strengths and blinds spots.
