Melancholy

Was bored and reading up on personality when i stumbled upon this rather accurate quiz about the 4 temperament that adel use to have me do quite awhile ago.

Four temperaments is a proto-psychological interpretation of the ancient medical concept of humorism and suggests that four bodily fluids affect human personality traits and behaviors. The temperaments are sanguine (pleasure-seeking and sociable), choleric (ambitious and leader-like), melancholic (analytical and thoughtful), and phlegmatic (relaxed and quiet).


you can read more about it on wikipedia.

And hence, the title, my temperament is 

MELANCHOLY (emo)
the Thinker, the Introvert, the Pessimist 


if you're interested, you can do the quiz yourself HERE

and after reading up on the temperaments in detail, i realize that it is very much accurate. more than what i thought.

& they're damn right about me being Hypochondria

Hypochondriasis or hypochondria (sometimes referred to as health phobia orhealth anxiety) refers to excessive preoccupancy or worry about having a serious illness. This debilitating condition is the result of an inaccurate perception of the body’s condition despite the absence of an actual medical condition.^[1] An individual suffering from hypochondriasis is known as a hypochondriac. Hypochondriacs become unduly alarmed about any physical symptoms they detect, no matter how minor the symptom may be. They are convinced that they have or are about to be diagnosed with a serious illness.^[2] Even sounds produced by organs in the body, such as those made by the intestines, seem like symptoms of a very serious illness to patients dealing with hypochondriasis.^[3]Often, hypochondria persists even after a physician has evaluated a person and reassured them that their concerns about symptoms do not have an underlying medical basis or, if there is a medical illness, their concerns are far in excess of what is appropriate for the level of disease.
