There’s an interesting thing going on in this thread. Some people equip them selves to survive. Some people equip themselves to escape. And some people equip themselves to enjoy their time on the island
ETA: I usually like to let people see the parallel lines for themselves because it’s more interesting that way, but it has recently come to my attention that what seems obvious to me doesn’t always seem obvious to other people. So.
Is it possible there are some comparisons to real life in these answers? Do people approach life in three methods: survive, escape, enjoy? And do the answers given reflect how a person actually approaches their own life?
In my case, I do not think the answers reflect my approach to life. I seem to have given mostly enjoyment answers. I don’t think I approach life that way, but I kind of wish I did.1 -

I probably wouldn’t of even noticed the different approaches had you not mentioned it. It is interesting to think about. I definitely think that survival was on my mind with my first answer.1 -

I like your analogy on how people may view this.
For me, survival is key and the first thing that I would be concerned with. I am a problem solver by nature, logical, and pragmatic. I frequently operate in this mode in real life, but sometimes I wish I could just "enjoy" life as it comes and not be consumed with fixing it.1 -

I think I was a fixer, then a coper, then a survivor. Then I think I went through an escaper phase. Idk exactly what or who I am anymore but I’m excited to find out.1 -

No. Haha a “Woobie” is slang for an Army issued blanket. They are amazing. Very warm and don’t collect sand or dirt. Never heard it of a Woobie hair tie, that’s funny.2 -

Oh phew! Thank you. I almost resorted to google. 😁
The hair tie thing might be specific to just me & my friends.0
