The Pictures You Choose Will Reveal A Deep Truth About Yourself

You're quite a social person, and definitely feel far more like yourself when you're surrounded by friends than you do when you're left alone. It's not that you hate being alone all the time: You do need time to relax and recharge, but when it goes on for long periods you can start to feel quite down and really miss the pick-me-up that being amongst people always gives you. You put a lot of effort into making sure you keep busy, and like to make plans early so as not to be left stranded.

You find being alone quite difficult

You find it quite easy to get trapped by your disappointments and your biggest regrets tend to linger with you. Even if you are mostly succeeding, that doesn't stop you occasionally drifting off and thinking about something embarrassing you did when you were younger, or a wrong decision you once made that you wish you could put right – even if it would have no bearing on your present life. When you remember these experiences you tend to relive how they felt all over again, which can be quite draining.

You dwell more on your regrets than your successes

You can sometimes find life a little overwhelming, and like you don't really have any options. It makes you feel trapped and like you are headed down a dead end, but it is difficult to take the risks that you know might be able to take you away from that path. You get stressed quite easily and find yourself making a much bigger deal out of things than they actually are. When this happens, it helps you to have someone you trust around to keep you grounded and remember that these are problems you can overcome.

Life sometimes makes you feel trapped and helpless

You hate the idea of failing, and often temper your ambitions so that you do not have to face up to the possibility of reaching for something you really want and not quite getting it. This means that you sometimes need encouragement from others to push yourself to achieve your full potential – you know what you are capable of, but it helps to hear it from other people too, and then can push you to take these risks. You go into a lot of things with the idea that you'll fail as default, so that you're not as disappointed if you actually do, even though deep down you know you're just trying to kid yourself.

You're afraid of being a failure

While you do enjoy socialising, you never feel completely comfortable around people, unless they are the very few people in the world you are extremely close with. When you are around them you can truly be yourself, but otherwise you tend to feel at least a little self-conscious, and are always aware of trying to make a good impression and not wanting to let yourself down. You're at your best when you're hanging out in just a small group with your closest friends, and would always choose that over a big party or event where you have to meet new people.

You're never wholly comfortable around people

Whether it's big, important decisions, or small, fairly meaningless occurrences, you have a tendency to overthink everything and read much more into things than what is actually there. On the odd occasion this actually pays off, and it turns out you were right to overanalyse, but most of the time it causes you undue stress, and you need a friend to tell you to calm down and take a step back.

You're very prone to overthinking things
