Hear me out!

Do you know about the Seven Wonders of the World?

I am the Eighth Wonder of the world. People wonder when do I stop talking, and why do I call myself an introvert. I am an introvert trapped inside a talkative woman. I take down humans with my non-sensical chatter- one human at a time, and today I have trapped you!

I'm underqualified to call myself a writer. Ergo, I cannot claim that I'm experiencing 'writer's block'. I'm experiencing a block, just a block. My brain works in mysterious ways. I have four articles underway and at least 7 interesting topics to write on. But those can wait.

I read Random Questions for taken, written by @Eybyoung, or commonly known here as 'Random Questions Challenge'. The second I read the title, I knew I had to save it for a rainy day, or for days like these when I want to talk about my 'random thoughts'. Sure, I have a series of 'Random Thoughts and Miscellaneous' on noise. But I'm just chatty today.

I'll answer random questions from https://www.mantelligence.com/relationship-questions/ as recommended by @Eybyoung.

"33 Relationship Questions - Quickly spark great conversations"

These questions are meant to be asked to your partner to know them better or as conversational starters for prospective partners in an attempt to learn more about the person's inner thoughts.

I believe that everyone around me is a cynic and as a consequence of which I do not believe in 'True Love'. The genre of romance is outside my comfort zone. I miss being kissed and the closeness of a person, but not at the risk of my mental health. Therapy is expensive!

Since I do not have a partner to discuss these questions, I have answered 14 questions nobody asked for.

Would You Rather Me Cook You Breakfast In Bed Or A Candlelit Dinner?

I eat nothing before brushing my teeth. Breakfast in bed would be futile. A candlelit dinner by the ocean works best for me. Whether with a partner, my parents, my brother, or even people I just met. Conversations needn't be romantic.

If You’re Having A Bad Day, Would You Want Me To Leave You Alone Or Spend Time With You And Cheer You Up?

Please leave me alone for half a day to two days at the least. I have been gifted with a sharp tongue. When I'm angry or having a bad day, I can be awfully bitter with words, even though I don't mean them. I hate the person I become when I'm angry or sad. I am guilty of saying things I don't mean to the people I love and then regret it.

But words have consequences and cannot be taken back. Therefore, I attempt my best to keep my awful thoughts to myself. My intentions are never poor.

So it's best I correspond with people around me only with a clear mind.

When I'm done dealing with my emotions my way, take me out for fresh air, please?

What Lessons Have You Learned From Past Relationships?

That they are not for me.

What Are Some Annoying Habits Of Other Couples That Irritate You The Most?

Public display of affection. Though I am myself guilty of indulging in it in a very conservative area. I could sense people around me being uncomfortable. It is reprehensible; I understand. How can I enjoy being kissed whilst making people around me uncomfortable? Some people dislike watching people kiss and I respect that. When I was out of my relationship, I too disliked watching people kiss, even on Television. There's no 'Trigger Warning' in real life.

What Kind Of A Parent Do You Think You’d Be?

A very liberal one. Let the Dad be the Bad Cop! I will make sure he is!

Would You Rather Be Known For Your Intelligence Or Your Good Looks?

I have large eyes, and dark circles too. I grew up with three permanent scars on my face. I have a slight overbite and a weird-shaped nose. But I have never attempted to correct them using makeup. I am proud of how I look, and damn, I look pretty! I don't need anyone to tell me that. I was brought up with great love and affection. I was never made felt bad about my physical insecurities.

I am pretty and I know it :)!

Please tell me when I faux pas an outfit, but please do not tell me I'm not pretty. You are only wasting your words.

I would love to be known for my intelligence, please. I have been told that I'm well-read and very knowledgeable.

"You know everything about everything", they say.

Only if they knew I am only a compilation of only useless information. For instance, I know that the recipe for the first-ever pizza baked in the 1500s Italy calls for rose water and powdered sugar, and requires no tomatoes or mozzarella.

But I do not know how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.

If You Could Ask Me Anything And Have Me Answer Truthfully, What Would It Be?

Political views. Your views on sensitive matters like Religion, Conversion, Climate change, Abortion, Adoption, and the LQTBQ+ community. I want to know about them all!

How Would You Want To Spend A Special Day With Each Other?

My ideal date can be anywhere between a popsicle at a bus stop or in a fancy restaurant. I like them both and want them both. I strongly believe it is not the place but the company that matters.

Do You Think Celebrating Valentine’s Day Is Corny?

Yes, very much. I think celebrating Father's Day, Mother's Day, and miscellaneous is also tacky. They are all commercialized. I live with my parents and I have all the time in the world to let them know how much they mean to me. Please do not tell me that I should reserve a day on the last Sunday of May or June to do that.

However, that being said, there are situations when you may have to live far from the person you love or may not be on speaking terms with them. These 'days' serve as a good reminder that you need to be appreciative toward them.

What Is The Best “Relationship Advice” Someone Has Ever Given You?

'Get out of it'

Would You Compromise Your Happiness For The Success Of The Relationship?

No. I want to be happy with you, or without. My mental peace ranks first and is supreme. As I said, Therapy is Expensive! This is what makes me a cynic, does it now?

Do You Think A Couple’s Finances Should Be Separate?

No. Just no. I am pessimistic toward 'this generation love'. I may have a very high and unrealistic standard toward relationships.

Once committed, you need to support each other during bad times and good.

What Are Your Biggest Fears About Relationships?

Being in one.

Do You Remember The First Thing We Said To One Another?

Aw :)! This is a rather sweeter one. When my long distant partner had come to Mumbai after a year and a half of studying abroad, it was the first time us meeting physically. We saw each other from a distance. Neither of us had the courage to look into each other's faces. We held hands and circled around the same lane four times failing to realize where we are going. None of us spoke a word for the first 20-30 minutes out of pure shyness and innocence.

Let's thank my sponsors for believing in me, you guys are the best:)!

Since you are all senior to me, both on the platform and in life, Random Question 'challenge' is a word I'd dislike to use. I'll replace it with 'request'.

@TengoLoTodo @JonicaBradley @Porwest @Pachuchay @LucyStephanie. I'd love to hear answers to these random questions from you!

Apologies for the unnecessary notification.
