A teacher friend of mine posed this question to his Sociology class. I thought it was interesting. He was trying to determine whether his students were thinking of themselves on a broad level or a very personal level.

What one word noun (not adjective) is the first word that comes to mind to categorize yourself?

Are you surprised by your answer?

Oh, and my answer was woman. It did kind of surprise me because I've never thought of my gender as being very important to me.

it's hard to think of one word off the top of my head, and I found that I was swayed by your answer Nor... I chose Friend, because I am a social person, have lots of friends and love spending time with people...

Enbwife and Wink... you think of yourselves on a much more personal level than I do with your first thought. I wonder why that is? That is what I find interesting.

Elitist... ROFL

My first one was gender, just like Norwican, which is surprising since I am gender confused. So now I more confused than ever.

"Are you surprised by your answer?"

It does not surprise me. As a woman, mother, friend, daughter, sister, wife, ex-wife, step-mother, counsellor, business person and all the other roles I have had, it is what I often find myself doing.

Throw-away

why? The state got custody of me after my father died. Trust me that sentence explains it. The sad part is there are alot of throw-aways out there.

I try to help people around me feel good in their surroundings by giving them something comforting (nice words, a deed or food or drink)

I don't know, Nik, you don't seem like a throw-away to me. How about a phoenix? They rise from the ashes and take flight.
