maristu...and was slightly disturbed by the results:
Mariana, your unconscious mind is driven most by Resistance
You approach the world with your guard intact because unconsciously, and perhaps consciously, you want to maintain an element of control in your relationships with people. You tend to hold much of what is in your unconscious mind just out of reach of others. You're not one to immediately show all your cards, to let people into who you really are until you're ready.
Unfortunately, that sometimes means you also hide things from yourself. You may find that your desire to remain guarded backfires, affecting your self-awareness. Why are you like this? It's possible that you act in this manner because of a deeply-rooted fear of being exposed, or of truly expressing yourself. To protect yourself from this fear, you act in the opposite manner — you are guarded.
There is a certain respect that comes with resistance, an unconscious understanding that the human psyche is very vulnerable. We all feel we have a lot to hide, and you are not one to be intrusive or thoughtless about how you approach sensitive topics with others. Therefore you inspire a sense of safety in others when they are around you. Your psyche is very deep, very rich, and the more you can let yourself know (both the good and the bad), the more you will be able to appreciate who you really are.
First reaction was, "Hell no! That's all wrong!" But... It's really not. I am a guarded person. Telling fact: I didn't want to put the results up in my journal. If that's not guarded, I don't know what is *g*
I don't remember being like this when I was younger, though. I was a pretty easy going kid, and I've never been exactly shy. I wonder if I changed, or if I just never realized that I was this way. Come to think of it, there are very very few people that I've ever opened up to. So yeah, maybe I've always been like this...
And then there's that little voice in my head that tells me that I shouldn't pay that much attention to a test I took over the Internet :P
