Lighten up!, I'm not uptight, just properly postured. Options

Generally, do you have a tendency to take things seriously? Or do you tend to be the one that tells everyone to just chill?

Honestly, I have a bit of a embarrasingly dramatic side that tends to over-do the seriousness of an issue. I'm very carefree when it comes to the big things, but for the little day-to-day things, I've noticed that I tend to look back and think "Okay, I really needed to just calm the freeg down."

[Señorita Semi-Au...]

I'm just like you. I seem really carefree about the bigger things, but the day-to-day things are just... woah. I think I'm under a lot of stress right now or something. This morning I got a grande white mocha and this Starbucks girl put it in a venti cup because of the foam. I really don't know why I got so upset about it. Really, it was such a ridiculous thing to get upset over. I just got really pissed that she did it. [Ugh, that story sounds so spoiled and shelfish. I promise I don't drink Starbucks often and I know people make mistakes. I think I was misplacing a little hostility, but I didn't push it on anyone.]

I'm not someone who EVER gets pissed about moronic things like that. I don't know... I'm having a lot of problems lately. I just discovered I may have a personality disorder and I feel really hopeless about it. I can't see any docter's, in fact I don't want to tell my mom. It's really hard to go through these every day things for me and it's something I honestly have no control over. Thankfully, I don't lash out at strangers but I have a bad habit of being or sounding a little quick with my friends. Gah, I guess I shouldn't be giving everyone my life's story... it's just something I'm having a hard time dealing with right now.

^ That is weird that she put it in a Venti cup, unless they were out of Grandes'
I've never heard of them doing that, unless they were out. & Im like a starbucks expert.

I am usually the one to be like "lighten up!" "chill out!" etc.
But depending on what its about, I can be pretty uptight. Not usually though.

[SarahxJoy]

It depends. If I've had a bad day or something I have the tendancy to make things bigger than they seem. Or if say, we're working on a group project and I'm really into it, wanting to get the work done while my partner(s) are just messing around. I'll seem overly-serious about it, and then in the end, if they point it out, I'd feel embarassed and think that I was.

[Jeng]

I tend to take thing's seriously, like jokes and things, and the other day at work, they gave me folded egg instead of round egg on a sandwhich, and I said I wanted rounded and they finally gave it to me, and arghh.

[MrStrife]

Shit happens, day to day, and there isn't much we can do about it. People just have to learn to deal with it in a positive manner or your head will be filled with so much anger from little nonsense. You'll find that you'll a lot more happier actually because I'm most of the time carefree and it shows on my face.

[mznikki]

I'm more inbetween taking things seirously and telling people to chill. It really depends on what the subject is about, where I am and who I'm discussing it with. For example in school during discussions, I'm usually more serious, but when I'm out at the mall or a restaurant I'm more carefree.

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

Yeah, I take things too seriously. Like jokes. I'm also really, really gullible.
I'm not extremely uptight, but when someone tells a joke or something, I take it seriously and respond weirdly.

[jaeman]

I'm in the middle, actually. I can get caught up in my own things that I start to get uptight and I can take small things too seriously. Then there are the times when I have to yell out to my friends to tell them to calm down about something or tell them it wasn't a big deal.

[*My Cinderella.*]

Usually I'm a very calm and easy tempered person. I just tend to get ticked off when people are jokingly racist. I guess I'm just easily offended by racist comments.

[multifaceted]

Most of the time I'm happy.

Though sometimes, I wish I could be more serious.

[me1issaaaa]

It just depends on my mood. If it's been a good day, most things don't really get to me. If it's been a bad day for whatever reason, then I take things a lot harder, and usually get way too worked up about things... especially little things.

[angelrevelation]

I usually take things seriously... Or at least, I never get hyper. I find lots of things funny, but I never do silly things myself.

As my friends sometimes say, I'm usually the most "sane" or proper person in the group.

[freeflow]

I'm a little bit of both. In some situations I'm the serious one that actually cares what is going to happen. While in others I'll just tell everyone to relax. It really depends with whats going on.

[*Azarel*]

People used to think for some reason or another that I was really uptight--I'm not. It may have been because I was living with my parents, but that's changed. I agree with a lot of people who have posted already and say that it depends, but for the most part I'm pretty down to earth and laid back.

[*disco infiltrator*]

I've recently gone through this whole kick where I really don't care about anything, haha. I get over things really quickly.

[priyas]

depends on the situation

[iDecay]

I ]usually takes things too seriously. Especially when I'm already pissed off. I am opposite when it comes to bigger things, too. I really don't know why..

[Stefanny]

I take things very seriously.
....Most of the time.

[*Monochrome.*]

I tend to be the one to overreact to things sometimes.But over all i really dont take much seriously.There are a couple things.
