QuoteYour Defense Mechanism is Humor
When life gets you down, you just have to laugh. And that's a very healthy reaction.
It's not that you don't take your problems seriously. You do. You just don't let them control you.
You are able to make the best of things, even when things look very, very bleak.
Some people may consider your sense of humor to be dark, but it has served you well!
yep :D :D :icon_drunk: :icon_dance:
Your Defense Mechanism is Sublimation
Compared to most people, you handle your problems very well.
You're good at channeling negative energy into positive energy. You know how to change your perspective.
You turn bad events into opportunities. You find strength in dealing with your problems.
You are inspired and productive. Some may describe you as a "tortured genius" - but you're not that tortured.
I chuckled at question 3: "After a break up, do you..." "3. Date a
transition person" (emphasis mine)
Yep - nothing heals a broken heart like a fling with a trans person! :) Anyway, my result:

Your Defense Mechanism is Isolation

When life gets to be too much to handle, you just withdraw. You rather not deal with things.
You tend to be a very isolated person. You want to connect to others, but you don't know where to start.
The problem with withdrawing from the world is that it's hard to reintegrate yourself when you're ready.
Instead of pulling back when you have problems, it would be better for you to reach out.

Makes sense. I've had a lot of practice, and so have others it seems.
Your Defense Mechanism is Projection
It's not you, really. It's everyone else. At least, that's what you keep telling yourself.
You may not have noticed, but you tend to hate in others what you fear most in yourself.
Projection is a seductive defense mechanism because you never end up noticing that there is anything wrong with you.
If everyone you know is a jerk, then there's a good chance that you're the one acting like a jerk!
ye that's me, a big jerk!
