This post says more about you than you realise.

You're out of your comfort zone, you poor lamb. Join in instead of kicking your little internet feet throwing pebbles at the ground with a bowed head and pet lip. I get the feeling you're shouting for the teacher.

You do appear hurt. Your statement tells me a lot more about you.

It sums a lot of us up in many aspects. As brutal as I may sound in making judgement, the same brutal statements could be made against me. This subject will always be touchy and never be a hold hands in a circle kind of case. Anything to do with psychological evaluations or admittance, will always create a huge resistance on top of the acceptance of certain issues.

It always works. It always brings out the reality in people, instead of the persona they create for whatever situation they find themselves in.

He's a small fish in a massive pond that would like to be the big fish in the smaller pond, yet lacks the confidence to go up against those who he feels intimidated by, in terms of their confidence to pursue their avenues. He's a big fish inside his own aquarium because the other fish inside of it have made him feel that his own territory is his entire world and he's comfortable with that, but not stepping outside of it for fear of becoming the minnow. He's easily hurt.

This is how you can find the strengths and weaknesses of people, even on an internet. Heated debates about the psychological nature behind the screen as opposed to what the persona is given out on a screen.

Nothing to do with acting anything. I gave you my thoughts but you've immediately went into hurt mode and yet you have no problems digging at me whenever the situation arises. Stop crying and accept that I'm just evaluating, just like you and your like do with me. Same type of thing you know. Don't be such a pussy.

I think you may have convinced yourself of being the cleverest little boy, fish. This is where your problems in adulthood stem from. You don't have anywhere to go from there. You have to try and keep up the charade of proclaiming to be more clever than you actually are. Try not to be a Chris Eubanks about stuff and just be Chris Eubanks.

A touch of OCD.

This may have made more sense and been pertinent if we were in a room full of your friends, in terms of you physically speaking it. On an internet forum, typed out, it becomes needy.

Dogs that slyly shit in the street without their owners appearing to realise that they've just laid a nice dump outside of someone's gate. If only they would bark and let their, obviously conscientious dog crap bag carrying owners know before that 600 foot lead creates a tug back.

Aye. the weird wasn't a dig, it was more of a thought, as I have also been interviewer and interviewee.

I never said it was.

It seems weird how everyone here appears to be an interviewer rather than an interviewee.

You can never do a genuine test by yourself, on yourself. You subconsciously skew the answers. Most people believe they are totally different to how they come across. The best people to give you answers to what your real self is, is your partner of many years or your own family, assuming a close bond. That will get your true results for at least 80%. A decent psychologist will get you closer to the 100% mark of what you are really like inside, as opposed to what you portray yourself as. Every person has all the traits to be almost all of the things we all see in others. The issue is in having the correct environment to display them.

Shots as in put downs or digs. Stuff like that. You generally see the under confident people say little until after a few drinks and then you see the (what appears to be) confidence. That's easy to spot and easy to see. One the other hand you also have those that go into dig mode immediately around the people they are fairly sure will be intimidated enough not to include them in any later dig fest. The issue starts when someone does just that. It then becomes a major shock to the system because they let their shield down and now look like the vulnerable person they were trying to hide. It stands out a mile if you look around you and is easy to play against if you know how. The major issue is when the person you expose for their weaknesses, turn to violence as they last line of defence.

Some people's major problems seems to be trying to get in their shots first before they receive any potential shots that they might think, or believe will come their way. It's basically a massive insecurity and vulnerability. The trouble is, when someone does this they almost alway open themselves up to the exact thing they planned for, happening. It's sort of counterproductive and hands the impetus to the other party before a shield can be put up.

Everybody has hang ups. Most people use a psyche up to appear like they don't have hang ups, but they're fairly easy to break down if the right buttons are pressed, so to speak. Most people walk about with a massive shield up. As for speeches, very few people are confident speech givers and most of it's due to not having to do it regularly... maybe only ever, once. The more someone does a speech, the more confident they become, with a good proportion of people not in fear of it. It's all about the fear of all eyes on you and you making a mistake whilst in that limelight. Most people could make a speech over the phone without too much discomfort, with most even enjoying it. Most people would be able to reel off a speech if the audience they are stood in front of, are almost darkened out or have the feeling that they, themselves are darkened out to the audiences view of them. You see, it's all in the eyes and not being able to have the feeling of eyes on you, you almost have a comfort blanket. If an audience turned their backs on you while you made a speech, you'd reel it off quite easily. Most people's psychological issues generally stem from childhood, as in, school and also the well being of the home they're brought up in. Most bullies who appear to be super confident are anything but. But as long as they have an audience that appears to be in favour of their actions (basically scared hangers on) they will be comfortable with verbal abuse of anyone they deem weaker... but will fall apart if stood alone in front of a crowd. My sister is a psychologist and evaluates prisoners among many other walks of life. It's very interesting listening to her and her stories of how people's minds work and how their strengths and weaknesses can be exposed by using the right words and body language.

Your time would be better spent typing something.

At least you have a choice.

Something like that but also there seems to be a real battle for places with players desperate to be part of the team.

Another great 3 points. Could have been a whole lot easier if we'd taken our chances...especially Joselu but the main thing is we held on to claim the spoils from a much better Stoke team than we've played in the recent past. Rob Elliot was outstanding and make some fantastic saves. Ritchie is a revelation and a man of the match for me, today. Lascelles showing why he's captain and finishing it all off with another headed goal. The King Salmon. A very good team performance again. This team has the potential to get stronger as time goes on, with players gelling more and more. As long as the dressing room stays tight we should be looking to really kick on from here and get closer to that magical safety number sooner rather than later, hopefully. Still early days yet but it's looking good so far.

All your internet mates are giggling behind you.

I imagine you could recall a lot of things. Maybe a spoiled childhood or a recollection of once driving your uncles car, when you were really only sat on his knee going BRUM BRUM. It's amazing what people can recall.
