I don't think any of these fit the criteria for objective observations. They're more qualified as subjective interpretations.

1. existing in the mind; belonging to the thinking subject rather than to the object of thought (opposed to objective ).
2. pertaining to or characteristic of an individual; personal; individual: a subjective evaluation.
3. placing excessive emphasis on one's own moods, attitudes, opinions, etc.; unduly egocentric.
4. Philosophy. relating to or of the nature of an object as it is known in the mind as distinct from a thing in itself.
5. relating to properties or specific conditions of the mind as distinguished from general or universal experience.
interpretation - n.
1. the act of interpreting; elucidation; explication: This writer's work demands interpretation.
2. an explanation of the meaning of another's artistic or creative work; an elucidation: an interpretation of a poem.
3. a conception of another's behavior: a charitable interpretation of his tactlessness.
4. a way of interpreting.
5. the rendering of a dramatic part, music, etc., so as to bring out the meaning, or to indicate one's particular conception of it.
An objective observation would be that you are a young, narcissistic male with repressed sexual fantasies about men who you view as authoritarian. You probably don't know your father as well as most men do. Your parents are likely divorced and your mother obtained custody of you and compensated for the divorce by spoiling you.
You hold your own world view in high regard and view others who disagree with you with a great deal of hostility, particularly when the views of others threaten your own. The reason for the hostile reaction is because, while you present someone who is reasonably assured, your view of yourself from the inside is teetering and capricious, much like your parents' marriage. In order to compensate for the insecurity that arises, you lash out at anyone who presents a contrary view-point, as though attacking them allows you to protect the beliefs about yourself you hold dear. You, therefore, project your own perceived flaws out onto others. |
Thats funny, you have a definition in front of you, yet cant tell what is objective about the main points I have made thus far. And much of what you quoted, arent the observations, I guess you should look up observation next (o wait you already did! LOL_). So when are you going to make a relevant point towards the topic that you are so informed about, instead of this dilly dally dictionary business? I'd love to hear it.
