The harmony-seeking idealist.

 I recently did this 'What's your personality type?' quiz everybody was sharing around on Facebook. These things seem to be popping up everywhere on Facebook! Has everybody gone insanely curious about themselves, or did I miss something?

Anyways, so apparently I am; 'The Harmony-seeking Idealist.' ......seriously, could you be more accurate?

So I went to reading what people of "my type" are like and this is what it said;

Harmony-seeking Idealists are characterised by a complex personality and an abundance of thoughts and feelings. They are warm-hearted persons by nature. They are sympathetic and understanding. Harmony-seeking Idealists expect a lot of themselves and of others. They have a strong understanding of human nature and are often very good judges of character.
Seems plausible enough. So i thought to myself, well this is going well. Until I started reading the next paragraph. Mind you; these people have a really way of fooling you into giving you the positive stuff before giving you the negative parts of it because they wrote that^ in bold and large sized fonts.
So this is what came afterwards;

But they are mostly reserved and confide their thoughts and feelings to very few people they trust. They are deeply hurt by rejection or criticism. Harmony-seeking Idealists find conflict situations unpleasant and prefer harmonious relationships. However, if reaching a certain target is very important to them they can assert themselves with a doggedness bordering on obstinacy. 

They are deeply hurt by rejection or criticism.

Harmony-seeking idealists find conflict situations unpleasant and prefer harmonious relationships.

The worst thing is; its all true. I really don't like conflict. I'd rather get hurt, be quite about it and back down then having to create a scene.

But then, people tend to forget. It's really not easy being the harmony-seeking idealist. Because we choose to be the quite ones. The ones that eat up all our emotions to make you feel good.

Our presence is always mistakenly taken for granted.
