Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

You feel unmoored and disconnected from the emotional lives of others and because you aren’t truly sure of the cause, this is probably increasing anxiety. A lack of cooperation from those around you can feel oppressive as it builds upon itself, leading to a separation from the bonds of friendship and romance. You are in danger of becoming alienated and alone.

 You will often assume an attitude of superiority or disdain. This masks a strong sense of inferiority and a need to be loved or respected. The desire that you have for social respect has led you to behave as if you were completely self-reliant, despite the fact that you are terrified of failure. You will take any opportunity to prove your own importance, even to the point of self-destruction. Similarly, criticism can be met with extreme contempt. Displays of respect will help to break down this artificial barrier.

There is a conflict in you caused by your inability to connect emotionally with others. The emotional commitment seems to bring with it a raft of limiting factors or else they are perceived to require you to give up some of what you feel is integral your own sense of self. Consequently, intimacy will leave you feeling over-exposed. This is why you avoid it.

I have no idea what just happened.

You are likely following a path that has not lead to success but which you believe will eventually prevail. Frustration has expressed itself as anxiety even though you are still confident that your path forward is the right one. You may have unrealistic goals in life or for a relationship. You are stubborn in the face of adversity, which can be both positive and negative.

 An unsatisfying relationship is troubling you, due in all likelihood to a perceived lack of appreciation, or acknowledgement from superiors or loved ones.  Questioning this judgement has lead to a modicum of introversion. You feel that you need assistance from others to repair the situation and are afraid that too much compromise will be seen as weakness. If this situation continues, you may feel the need to break away and redefine your own individuality.

… actually in light of what just happened this is oddly encouraging

but that test was still weird as hell and I feel decidedly uncomfortable about the whole thing 8/
