    Would you rather know a lttle about a lot of varied interests or know a lot about one or two things?

    Is there anything you would consider yourself a specialist in?

    since i'm doomed to know very little about a LOT of things, i'll go ahead and be okay with that.

    but i would like to know a lot about something. i just lose interest before i move on to the next interesting thing.

    that's hard... it's certainly best to have some of both...



    if i could only have one... well i'd really like to know a lot about at least a couple things, because you can't really accomplish too much in any area if you only know the basics of it. but then again, it would have to be something that i find very interesting, because right now there is certainly not one or even two things that could really keep me interested all the time...

    although if i can be an expert in one thing and still have other interests that i just don't really know anything about, i guess that would probably work.


    i'm a specialist in most aspects of my job, certain video games, test taking... i'm probably forgetting something...

    I know a little about lots of things. My interests are too broad to be specialised in something.

    I have a tendency to make everything sound better than it really is.

    This is exactly how I feel. I tend to get extremely interested in something just long enough to understand enough about it to hold my own in a conversation, then I get bored. Endless details kill my enthusiasm.

    Like bird, I have a wide variety of interests and not enough time nor dedication to specialise in any of them.

    Van Gogh, a specialist in failed relationships...why is that?

    I have broad interests, but I make sure to specialize in a couple of them.

    You can always have the best of both worlds.

    i'm only 17, and I go through men like crazy. And i'm honestly just tired of it now. One failed relationship after the other since 14....ugh. I know how it starts, i know when it starts to get bad, i know teh signs when I should leave, and I know I don't, and only do when i'm the one crying, haha.

    But, atleast if i'm a specialist on failed relationships, i'll know when one is so different then all my others that it might actually work.

    ..i'm good at yoga though? lol

    Hmm, this is interesting... I would probably rather know a little about a lot of varied interests, though the idea of knowing a lot about one or two things would be nice but a bit boring.. So, I will say a lot about varied interests...

    Anything I would consider myself a specialist in, well, let's see... Hmm, I'm probably a specialist in cheering people up I guess... Don't want to say anything else because then I would be tooting my own horn because I know I am a specialist in many, many things.. *beep, beep*

    well, the first step is to never go out... if you never meet anyone you can't get in a relationship with them and it will never fail.

    if somehow, you accidentally do meet someone, well just being oneself usually is enough to repel them, since all relationships are based on that silly little game. but if that's not working, it's best to just drink until you lose bodily function. odds are the other party will no longer be interested, and by the time you feel up to moving around again, neither will you!

    if the situation is truly severe, further action may be required, but this should get you out of about 90% of potential failed relationships before they start
