Even choosing lunch becomes 'to eat this or to eat that, that is the question.' Like Hamlet, you always want the truth behind appearances, and your way with words means people remember your lines long after.

Things a Hamlet type often says

  • To eat this or that, that is the question.
  • What you see isn't everything.
  • Let me think about it a little more.

In a group, I'm

Deep-thinking commentator and quote machine

As a friend, I'm

The friend who explains your feelings better than you can

When stressed

Your thoughts chase each other late into the night. Putting them into words lightens the load.

Sound familiar, Hamlet type?

  • When your head is full, you need to be alone to sort it out
  • You pick apart every remark for its hidden meaning
  • Ten minutes to choose the menu, five to eat
  • Lie down at night and the big questions begin

Where you shine

  1. Thinks deeply

    You dig past what things look like. You find hidden meaning even in a passing remark everyone else ignores.

  2. Relentless about truth

    You won't cover things up until you know the truth. That persistence brings to light facts others missed.

  3. Unforgettable one-liners

    You're brilliant at putting thoughts into words, so people remember what you say. Even your worries become fine sentences.

Watch out for

When thinking delays deciding

Endlessly weighing 'this or that?', you push what needs doing to tomorrow, and tomorrow again.

Try thisPick the smallest thing you can do today and do it first. Moving clears your head.

When you brood alone

Keeping everything to yourself, you can sink into heavier, darker thoughts.

Try thisTell a trusted friend, a Horatio, your worry in just one sentence. Saying it out loud lightens it.

A famous scene

In the soliloquy "To be, or not to be," Hamlet wrestles alone with whether to endure his troubles or take arms against them.
