1) My parents did divorce when I was a pre-teen

2) I was forced to take care of the household while my mother worked

3) I have experienced more death than I wish, from losing two best friends when I was 14 and 16, to various relatives

4) I grew up with a strict law enforcement father and an emotional unstable mother (hers was hormonal)

5) I experienced a severe emotional event my senior year that took much from me in the form of innocence.. if you get my meaning.

I won't even list the other crap like racism, crime, etc.... because you just don't get what is going on in the world.

Because someone is schizoid does not mean they are more well rounded since they were exposed to various trauma.

AG stated something about histrionics, I was only provided an alternative definition and was by NO MEANS saying HE fit that profile.

I'm schiztoid and histrionic apparently. Like TINK though, I merely ignore the voices unless of course they're praising me, in which case I eat it up (being that I am apparently an attention ***** LOL).

How can you not be one thing without being the other for instance, how can you not have any schizoid and not also be dependant at the same time?

And Isis too?! I'm in good company.

1) I am not afraid of what you may say

2) I do know that you are so ill-informed on life and the nature of things that I would never WANT you to answer FOR me. In other words, on my behalf. You have no idea of my thought process and sorry to say, you are not experienced in certains matters as I am - therefore you CAN'T intelligently speak on my behalf.

3) Hell, you even misread my answer thinking that I said I don't want you to answer to me verses what I really said which was answer FOR me.

The test is a game. One must really undergo extensive tests administered by a psychiatrist. This is a joke based on the fact that in FFA they wondered what it took to be prone to mental problems and also due to the fact that we are all just a wee bit strange.

If you can't grasp that, then that's your problem.

Lotus,

Having similar answers does not mean people are the same. For example, say 10% of the population is diagnosed bipolar, does that mean they are all the same? No, it just means they suffer from the same illness. If this test was real and we all tested normal with the exception of a few moderates, it doesn't mean we are the same, but it does reflect the national numbers in relation to mental disorders and population distribution.

I don't find your comments here dramatic in the slightest; short on facts and usually wrong but not dramatic.

You would do well to spend less time seeking validation from others and more time refining your knowledge. Being part of the herd may be safer but in the end, it does nothing to promote a strong self image or separate identity. Preaching to the choir may be validating but that element of conforming to the beliefs of others is self limiting.

Why are you whining about no one responding to your Cheney thread? Are you really upset that Cheney wants certain items in his hotel room, meager requests at that? Perhaps it would be fun to see what some of the entertainers you idolize demand.

Any poll which makes assumptions about respondent profiles or deliberately cooks the numbers is engaging in an exercise to influence and sway public opinion, Pew included if they are doing that. It's noted they don't provide the actual numbers of republican, democrat or independents they polled and that's suspicious in itself. Shouldn't be a secret....unless they're oversampling one group to produce a predetermined result.

I've told you I'm willing to wait for the official poll in November. Why aren't you?

(OK, that's good but...)

2) I do know that you are so ill-informed on life and the nature of things(how would you even know that and if you know so much better about life and the natural order of "things", I want to know the store that you got that "Book of Life" from, so this way I can see what Football team I should bet on next year's Bowl)that I would never WANT you to answer FOR me. In other words, on my behalf. You have no idea of my thought process and sorry to say, you are not experienced in certains matters as I am - therefore you CAN'T intelligently speak on my behalf.

(and tell me, when did I start doing that to you?)

3) Hell, you even misread my answer thinking that I said I don't want you to answer to me verses what I really said which was answer FOR me.(Well, that is because I still don't know when exactly I did that to you. please explain)

(Nah Pid, your absolutly perfect, you even go so far to show how much you are )

Whether or not you said to or FOR doesn't really matter, I just thought that you meant not FOR me to answer you. I'm sorry that my crystal ball ran out of batteries today. That post that I originally put up before, was just an opinion on my behalf anyway!

Being part of the herd, huh? Would you characterize the herd as mainstream America? Are we going to go there? Are we also going to say that being part of the herd means reading the news most people read, listening to the music of our culture, viewing it's art? Guess I'm not on the fringe after all, eh Jwhop?

I will say this, though, between living in a bubble where everything is suspect of leading to brutal communism, or living amongst people and hearing and paying attention to a variety of views, I'll take the latter every time.

Roflmao Im high on narcissism, schizo and paranoia. Keep in mind that this is normal for a Gemini , the Kings and Queens of mental issues. jk. Actually I can see where that is coming from, and don't have a problem with it. I was expecting more highs than that I think. I definitely do think a bit highly of myself, doesn't help that boyfriends and friends have made me think so highly of myself that my head wouldn't fit in a door . And paranoia, well thats true also because I answered that I don't trust people in groups. Ive been doing group projs in college for two yrs now and at work for the past year and Im always the one who ends up doing all the work. (geez!).

As Mongo Beti says in Mission to Kala...one of the kick-@$$est books ever (I know thats not a word ), a real man has to have at least a complex or two. hehe. I don't believe it but its funny enough to indulge in for a few minutes

Acoustic, I took down the post I made earlier.

I read a few days ago you were not feeling your usual self and I see no reason to add to your aggravation.

I think Pid gave you some good advice then. I tried to find the chart information you put up on another thread but couldn't find it.

You mentioned something about not feeling as mentally sharp as you usually are...foggy?
Also that you were in the process of a reevaluation.

I would check for 2 specific transits. For some people they can cause real problems.

Saturn square or opposition to Uranus during which nothing seems to go right, everything you attempt seems to fail and the transit lasts a long time.

Saturn square or opposition to Neptune which can cause feeling of doom, a crazy unease that something dreadful is going to happen that's hard or almost impossible to shake off or ignore.

The square is more intense than the opposition but both can be extremely bothersome.

Good luck with whatever is bothering you.
