Mental Traits
Critical of self and others; serious and scholarly

I don't agree with the self harm I've never once cut myself or tried to bring harm to others. The "serious" trait doesn't feel quite right, I do consider myself a serious person if the situation is serious but if the situation is not then I am not serious and more calm.
Personality Traits
Gets along with those older or younger (but not the same age) well-organized and cold blooded
Getting along with others is very easy no matter what age they are but I find it harder with younger kids I don't really know why. Well-organized is not one of my traits I am not organized at all although I have gotten better. Cold blooded is a very accurate trait I am a mean person and do not hold back my opinion.
Difficulty relating to peersI also don't agree with this "trait" either I am very relatable with anyone and everyone.
