If you discovered that when you were conceived, you were one of five identical embryos and have four living identical twins, would you be more intrigued or distressed?

Why? I think I'd still want to be with someone who … Continue reading Question of the Week #303

Do your close friends tend to be older or younger than you? Less or more talented and successful than you? Do they share your values? Ambitions? Interests?

What could someone figure out about you by the friends you've chosen? That I like to keep to myself... Okay, not really. I mean, yes, it's true that I'm an introvert and I tend to keep to myself.
