Who I Am

I won't claim to be normal:
-When bad things happen to me, I usually laugh in response.
-Money isn't so important to me, so long as I have enough for my needs.
-Your compliments will usually go unheard, but I want to hear your complaints. I want to know how I can do better.
-I don't generally judge others when they do something stupid or wrong. I realize that we are all imperfect and bound to make mistakes, so instead I judge them by who they are at heart, and who they are trying to be.
-When I feel sad or depressed, I use it to inspire myself.
-I try to be thoughtful and considerate of other people. I have a lot of people that I care about and want to support, yet I don't generally miss people when they are away. I never really have, even as a child.

I don't think this is how most people work, but I don't see it as a problem. In fact, it serves me well. It might sound like I would be fine in any situation, that I'm easy going enough that troubles and challenges wouldn't really affect me too much, and in many cases it's true. However, there are things that I still need. I may not need many physical things, I may not need compliments, and depression never lasts long and usually encourages me to do better, but that doesn't mean that I will always be content. There are still things that I consider to be important.

What do I need?

-I long for human touch, to know that somebody is there and cares about me.
-I need friends, I need people to pursue me, to let me know that they want to be around me.
-I stress when I feel like I might be falling short of someone's expectations. When I'm not able to do everything that people ask of me, that is that the time that I start to worry.
-I need to make people happy.
