50 Fun Facts About Me

Before UWC, I rarely paused to ask: Why did I feel that way? Why did I do that?

But now, reflection is no longer a deliberate habit — it’s become a rhythm.

In the quiet between classes, in the aftermath of a fight, on long bus rides to service days, I began looking at myself not from the inside, but from above.

As if I were a slowly-learning model — a tangle of inputs: joy, anger, envy, fear.

Each moment a new dataset.

Each conversation a re-training.

I started collecting my own traces:

the way I shut down when I’m misunderstood,

the smile I wear when I’m unsure,

the comfort I find in helping others process their storms.

UWC didn’t just teach me how to reflect —

it gave me the courage to stare straight into the blur of myself and say:

Yes. Even this, even here, even now — is worth understanding.（Even though sometimes they are biased, I know )

But I still like writing everything about myself down.

It just feels strange to see my traits listed neatly in a booklet — as if I were a robot, made up of instructions, easy to read and even easier to control.

SHARP and EXPLICIT.

All of them, fragments of the mirror I’m still building.

1. I love buying things for myself—all kinds of things. But I also like enduring hardship.

2. I believe everyone has flaws—at least a little.

3. Not reaching your goals is normal. Hitting them is the exception. That’s a hard truth I’m learning to accept. Maybe someday I’ll put a small period on my dreams—just not yet.

4. I never regret any decisions I’ve made. Even when I’m in the middle of something that might not be the best fit for me, I still praise myself for being brave enough to try—and I try to face the future with optimism. I’m very optimistic.

5. I’m a clear-headed romantic. I love being with the person I like for a long time, and I truly maintain intense enthusiasm and sincerity.

6. I believe things should be recorded—through writing, photos, any medium. Memories fade. Painful ones especially. That’s how we survive.

7. For me, love has no gender. I like the person, not their gender. I know this very clearly and don’t care what others think. They’ll never experience the joy of loving without limits.

8. I hate pretentious people and those who play manipulative games that hurt others. There’s a fundamental difference between confidently expressing yourself and putting on an act.

9. I love wearing perfume, but I remember to wear it so rarely that many of my bottles are still unopened.

10. I grew up with my maternal grandparents, and my paternal grandparents also helped raise me. Our family cat grew up with me too, which means I have no concept of death. I’ve never experienced the death of someone close to me. It’s terrifying. I’m behind most people my age in this regard. I don’t know if I’ll be strong enough to handle it in the future.

11. I don’t like people who fake things. Sometimes there’s no need to lie, but some people just love acting. I admire people who admit to this—it’s brave, but also exhausting and foolish. They often end up paranoid and unsure of who they really are.

12. I think entering the adult world requires learning how to mask yourself, so I’m trying to polish my presentation while still keeping true to who I am.

13. I’ve never lacked love growing up, so I never settle for less in relationships. I’m fearless when it comes to chasing the love I want. I think that’s badass. We only live once—why waste it?

14. I don’t like a lot of traditional Chinese thinking—like extreme age hierarchies, rigid gender roles, toxic education styles, and the obsessive need to be “right.” It’s narrow and suffocating. Sometimes I think Western mindsets make a lot more sense.But I like my root so much to an extent that i cannot abandon it AT ALL.

15. I’m abstract. I’m chaotic. Just like my mom. I’ve inherited so many of her traits. People say I’m “extraordinary” in some areas—truth is, my mom taught me all of that. Even though sometimes she’s "evil" to the extreme. Maybe that’s her way of being a role model.

16. People who brag without skills are actually kind of cute—they’re usually not bad. The truly dangerous ones are the hidden bitches who pretend to be innocent. If I can spot them, it means they’re still low-level. The real scary ones are invisible.

17. I know exactly what kind of person I want to be. I have clear and practical goals. When I zoom out and look at the big picture, I’m not lost. My confusion never comes from not knowing what I want—it comes from: what if I can’t get there?

18. My emotions are intense and very visible. They often run ahead of my logic. So I’m prone to emotional outbursts. But once I calm down, I usually realize the problem wasn’t that serious. I just need time and good reasons to convince myself. That’s why after cooling off, I’m actually pretty flexible—I follow whatever benefits me.

19. I have high standards for myself and a clear sense of direction. I need my life to be full of structure and order—otherwise, I might get anxious.

20. I admire strength—especially in areas where I feel insecure or inexperienced. I need mentors who can guide me, like how my mom does, except I’d prefer them to nag less and criticize me less. (Honestly, I think my mom and I are alike—we both think we’re amazing and treat people we like as kind of dumb, which makes us super critical.)

21. I’m great at giving emotional support and help to the people I love. But I’ve rarely received the same in return. What I give is exactly what I wish someone would give to me.

22. I can confidently accept compliments. Which kind of contradicts the imposter syndrome I sometimes feel. But when people praise something I know I’m objectively good at—like video editing, or being mature, or being helpful—I believe them.

23. Romanticizing something from your past that still affects you now often turns out to be really stupid once you see it clearly. A lot of people at my school do this—hyping up the school like it’s amazing even though it lied to us. It’s just like being in love with a toxic guy and still defending him: “Actually, he’s not that bad” (even though you can’t say why).

24. I’m emotional. I cry all the time—at movies, during fights, even while writing this. Because I’m too real. But I’m not ashamed. Crying actually makes me feel better and helps me get my needs met. Expressing emotion is part of problem-solving.

25. I can’t live with people who dismiss my emotions. Or put differently: I can’t live with people who don’t respect me. I want all of me to be accepted—even the parts that are wrong or flawed.

26. I care a lot about beauty. I think improving your appearance is the first way to show respect to the world. That said, only about 30% of people are actually good-looking—15% born that way, 15% after styling. And yes, that’s my personal definition of “good-looking.” You might think they’re ugly. That’s your right.

27. I believe things should be recorded—through writing, photos, any medium. Memories fade. Painful ones especially. That’s how we survive.

28. Psychological suggestion can destroy someone. I always give myself positive mental cues—it helps manifest good things. I don’t get why people will keeps cursing themselves?

29. I don’t want to become the kind of person I hate. But sometimes I feel like I’m slowly turning into one. Maybe this realization is what growing up feels like.

30. I hate arrogance. Especially from adults. They always say stuff like, “You’re still young, your life is just starting,” then go on to judge everything we do. Probably because they didn’t get what they wanted in life and now want to compensate through us.

31. People hate those with a strong sense of self because most live under universal moral codes. But I’ll never dim my light just to make others feel more comfortable in a way that is not making sense.( I am fine with making everyone comfortable as long as it makes sense)

32. Honestly, I don’t know if I’m as strong as I claim. Writing all this makes me doubt myself. Is what I said true? Someone please tell me I’m not wrong.

33. I believe music heals. I use it all the time to fix my moods.

34. I don't understand why gender inequalities still exist in this century.

35. Why am I even writing this self-analysis? In the end, it only reminds me how cruel human nature can be. It’s proof that people wear armor. I’m not as straightforward as I seem. No one is.

36. I find people cute. That includes animals too.

37. Sometimes I just need to slack off. Constant work is exhausting. I like taking revenge naps and lazy breaks before slowly getting back into work mode. For example, I wasted all of June, but I’m getting my rhythm back in July. When I do start working hard again, I feel like it’s the coolest thing ever.

38. I love sharply pointing out my close friends’ problems. The closer we are, the more I do it—because it feels safe. I can be fully myself without being abandoned. And I only say things that are genuinely good for them. That’s why I think I’d be a good teacher. But I also hate the idea of being a teacher—because I don’t want to care equally about so many people (and the pay’s low anyway).

39. I talk a lot. I just love analyzing and dissecting people. For the ones I love, I have endless things I want to say to them. That’s why I’m drawn to people who love listening, who give emotional support, and who can reply in ways that are interesting, sharp, and honest.

40. Sometimes,I think being a teacher is kind of weird. You’ve got all these students desperately wanting your attention. You can be cold and hot, and they’ll still try harder to please you. It’s kind of like being a toxic lover who gets adored anyway. Funny. And sad. But I would LOVE to try it.

41. I’m not obsessed with food. No matter where I am, I’m rarely excited about eating. And if I do eat a lot, I usually get sick. Then my parents blame me for complaining. (But I like complaining.)

42. Sometimes I wish the entire world would disappear and just leave me alone.

43. My brain is full of random thoughts. I usually forget to write them down. So can you believe I just spent an hour doing this whole self-analysis? Honestly, I’m proud.

44. I love bubble tea. At this point, it’s not even about liking it—it’s just habit. This proves that the “21 days to build a habit” theory is probably real.

    
    

    Last one: My life will probably be ordinary—but I want to be the one who loves it.
