According to C. George Boeree, professor emeritus at Shippensburg University, effects of neurosis can involve:

...anxiety, sadness or depression, anger, irritability, mental confusion, low sense of self-worth, etc., behavioral symptoms such as phobic avoidance, vigilance, impulsive and compulsive acts, lethargy, etc., cognitive problems such as unpleasant or disturbing thoughts, repetition of thoughts and obsession, habitual fantasizing, negativity and cynicism, etc. Interpersonally, neurosis involves dependency, aggressiveness, perfectionism, schizoid isolation, socio-culturally inappropriate behaviors, etc.

I feel like I have failed my entire life. Most of it was not my fault. My mother molested me when I was young and I froze more and more as the years went on.

I have been given an amazing chart with lots of talents, a friendly, extroverted personality and a good sense of humor.

I could make friends. I could make friends of people's parents and I was what you would call a resilient child.

However, as I froze more and more, I could not make good decisions. Hence, I made decisions that set me back and put me in situations that were not good for me.

After my son died, I decided to cast off my old life as much as I could and put myself in God's hands, seriously.

I screwed up my life, royally, so how could this be worse?

I have led many people to salvation. One girl is a best selling Amazon author and I am in her second book.

Her name is E.L Farris

Another girl is my English professor who was not in good shape when she became my client but accepted Jesus, got active in a chutch and just got engaged.

Another guy came on my website to bug me about what I said about Eris. I befriended him and he told me I was crazy to believe in Jesus.

He just wrote to me that he found Jesus.

If my life has any value, it is as God's servant.

I just wanted to write that, for myself, and maybe for someone else who needs to hear it.

I know that it borders on a DD topic but I hope that it borders on a Sweet Peas topic, too.

Neuroticism to me equates emotional instability/ sensitivity. And perhaps you do feel your scars quite vividly, but... I also think they must have made you stronger. Do you not think you would be well equipped to handle a crisis now?

You are very inspiring. I know people who have had similar experiences as you but that deny these experiences. That also means they are not addressing the issues. Although your experiences may have curbed your development they don't seem to have frozen it! That can be due to nothing less than your inner strength and diligence.

Besides... What is life but F-ed up anyway? I know no-one with the Disney life we were all promised I too take it very seriously often, but then I have to pinch my arm and realize that it's all going to be water under the bridge waaaaaaaaaay doooooooooooooooooooooooooown the line. From a spiritual perspective at least.

I love that, Randall. After I wrote this thread, I got some perspective. That is what I love about SP. We can put our stuff out there and get comments.

She said you seem too nice. You seem like you have thrown away normal anger and normal selfishness and have one speed and it is kind of robotic.

This shocked me because we are the last ones to see ourselves, most of the time.

However, now that I have gotten my relationship with my mother back, I can see what she means.

I could never be selfish or angry as a child, so I stuffed them down.

This will produce depression and other issues cuz you can't push these things away with no consequence.

At any rate, I, suddenly, saw how I had disowned any selfishness and this had made me twisted.

I owned it back, today, so now I can be selfish

No problem

I don't like the negative attitude allot of people have to selfishness. What is wrong with putting yourself first? We are each our own first responsibility, I think. Of course once you have important people in your life you have to weigh your interests against theirs, but there is simply nothing amazing about sacrificing yourself all the time. People rarely appreciate it, and I'm not so sure it's good for the soul to cause oneself unhappiness. I don't see much admirable about blind selfishness. It is important to strike a balance. And look at every day as ME DAY

Agreeableness – means a person is good natured, co-operative, and trusting.

Conscientiousness – means a person is responsible, orderly, and dependable.

Neuroticism – means a person is anxious, prone to depression, and worries a lot.

Interesting! I just looked it up. Your asteroid questions teach me something all the time. Never heard about it before. I'm such an astrological novice -.- haha! It seems to be semi-square neptune, and trine jupiter. It's in the same sign as my sun sign and NN (aqua). My narcissus is biquintile the moon and semisextile jupiter. Not sure what all of this means though. Will look into it.
