Peter Pan Complex

Ladies and gentlemen, it's proud for me to announce that I've got the Peter Pan Complex. I always know that I don't want to grow up and be one of those thing they call a 'responsible adult', but I never thought that I would score an 83% out of 100%.

The result came second in an advance global personality test I took, next to romantic (90%) and materialistic (90%). It's no secret that I'm materialistic, and I'm ok with being 90% romantic, but Peter Pan Complex? Really?

Wait. For those of you who has no idea what the heck Peter Pan Complex is all about, here's a somewhat detail explanation of what it is: avoids responsibilities, people tell them they are childish and need to grow up, would rather live in their head than the real world, focuses on fantasies more than reality, believes they deserve to have whatever they want, life lacks direction, never know what to do next, does dumb things frequently, inconsistent performance, lazy, slacker, does the minimum to get by, does things without thinking, does not feel they have any reason to accomplish anything, tend to ignore or put off problems, believes fun is the most important thing in life, most people think they are crazy, forgets scheduled appointments, more past than future, gets attention through negative behaviour.

Okay, I agree that sometimes that I would rather live in my own fantasy land than the real world, and I do think that fun is the most important thing in life. I mean, c’mon! Who doesn't!? But lazy? And people think that I'm crazy!?

So this is the time where I'm giving everybody a chance to talk bad about me. For those of you who are reading this, kindly post a reply and tell me which of the above Peter Pan Complex symptoms that you've seen me act out. (I bet Lin will have something to say about the "does dumb things" part, after what I told her about my weekend.)

Anything at all that you guys can think of, I'm all ears.

This should be interesting.
