How do you normally react in stressful situations? I freak out at first, then once I'm calm, I start figuring out a means to get out of said sitation. I also indulge a lot by doing pleasant things, such as shopping, grooming, etc.

Do you believe in fate/destiny, or do you believe we shape the events in our own lives? I believe each person has several destinies/fates... it's a matter of choosing which path to follow.
