Confessions of The Oracle
I am unerringly and unnervingly accurate in pinpointing the underlying psychology of others’ lives and relationships, how it impacts the decisions they make and influences their perceptions.
I have an unfailing inability to do the same for myself.
A matter of objectivity, no doubt; but also sometimes a matter of sheer laziness or selfishness.
I am an extremely selfish person.
I am highly opinionated and arrogant, although when someone seeks The Oracle I am able to put this aside and be tactful and diplomatic. I just find tactfulness and diplomacy too much of a pain in the ass to incorporate into daily life.
Some might say that because I am The Oracle, the first two faults may be overlooked, may even be a bit expected or encouraged. Most of the time I do consider them faults (when I consider them at all), but I do little to correct them. Laziness again.
I am supremely lazy.
I can be extremely detached from and objective about everything except criticism of myself.
I am insensitive and overly sensitive.
I am the strongest person many people claim to know, and yet the weakest person I could be.
I enjoy being The Oracle.
I may be slightly manic.
I often question my own sanity.
I am eerily intuitive and frustraingly obtuse.
I am cynically optimistic.
I am passive, and aggressive. But rarely passively aggressive.
I must be balanced all the time between 2 polar opposites to fulfill this role.
It can be exhausting.
I try to learn from everything.
I think I know it all.
People think that I am uncomfortably direct, but I feel as though I never come directly to the point.
