The intArweb is not the place for self-discovery

I'm back, bitches.

I've been curising the intershnitzel for the first time in a week (damn classes filling my precious drinking time). And of course, I've found something that enrages me.

I'm tired of seeing all these stupid online personality quizzes that tell you the "kind" of person you are. The "you are a caring, generous, etc etc etc person" bullshit.

An example of the personality quiz BS.
A big WTF example. Lemons are enemies? This is the BS I'm really talking about.
You get the point. Moving on...

Here's a clue: THERE'S NO NEGATIVE ANSWERS. You could be a child rapist but you'd just be a "strong, silent type that prefers to read". Now for the most part it's just idiotic teens filling out this shit, but it's still a growing problem. These damn personality quizzes won't tell you anything you shouldn't already know, and if you're really that insecure that you have to broadcast to the world who you think you are, you've probably got no friends anyway. Or you're lying. Besides, those stupid things are so subjective that you could literally find any abstract way to relate yourself to something said in the blurb.

I just want to know why people keep using these. The internet is a place to kick back and relax, or surf, or whatever. If you want to find out who you are, go out and find it - don't rely on some jackass "you're a great person no matter what you pick" quiz. We are shaped by our actions, and trust me, there actually are bad people in the world - and you're one of them. Everyone is pretty terrible, when you think about it. Those quizzes are total BS and shouldn't be filled out by people looking to pat themselves on the back and broadcast "hey look! Take notice of me because I'm these things!"

Nobody gives a shit if the internet says you are. Go out and DO something to show us. You'll find out quickly how full of shit that was. You're not nice - you bitch about your petty shit that no one cares about, and when people tell you the truth that they don't care, you get pissed. Fuck you, you're not important, and your problems are stupid. And you'd realize this if you didn't fill out that shit to avoid the fact that your "friends" are right. You ARE stupid and worthless.

So stop using that shit and live life. Everyone's fake anyway, and you'll discover who you are more in a public setting then sitting on your ass in front of your computer.

Those suggestions are good, although, shouldn't they be completely obvious? Everyone loves tanning, despite the cancerous results.

As for the 'getting intimate', given the state of the current teens, they date for 2 weeks and then are "intimate" and "in love", etc etc etc. I'm a firm believer you can't truly understand what love is until you're 18+.
