Thank you so much for your GIFT of those words.
I was feeling insecure cuz I am meeting with the web designer ,today.
I need to be assertive and inside that little voice will say "I hope he doesn't think you are weird" lol
Then,I have to fight with it.I say."Be yourself. Life IS that journey"
I guess what I am trying to say is THANK YOU for caring Rach.
I will be back to write more when I get home
Double heart

GO FOR IT! I would hazard a guess that sometimes people might seem like they 'don't get you' or even disapprove of you, not because you're weird, but because you're baffling and interesting. You have spent so many years panicking about how you come across to people (your mother) and wondering what you need to do to conform - but then missing the real you - that you are very quick to realise when people are forming an opinion of you. Fear tells you that their opinion is going to be bad, and this sometimes stops you from being objective. - They are probably think 'wow, this woman's remarkable' about you, but that can easily be misconstrued as "this woman's weird". If you reserve judgement on what they think of you, I bet you'll find what they are actually thinking is "I think this woman's wonderful!"

LOL I don't know whether to literally answer Yes, as you said or not to tell you at all, lol! Let me know whether you want me to confirm it or not and I will. I started a "interpret my chart pleeeeeeeeease" thread in Ast. 2.0 so don't look there if you want to guess first!

Love Rachel x

I develop crushes way too easily, I need to stop that

carl - me too; is it because you want a relationship with the people you crush out on? Mine is more curiosity - how will they kiss, how strong are their hands if they held mine, would they bear hug me or stroke my hair etc... Often, once I've found that out and satisfied my curiosity, the fascination and crush will dissipate. (((hugs)))

My weak point is that I have a brain of my own and not as scared as most people in this world, not scared to say things which will come back on me. This can be selfish, but at least I do not appear like a sheep, who wants to remain within a group of people who allow bad things to happen to others.

I sacrifice whatever personal gains there is to be made, by not being involved with a certain group that offers these gains. I do this because it's not right to treat others like this, never mind me.

To make this clearer, I'm the type of person to tell these young yobs in the street to be quiet and stop bothering the neighbours, even if these yobs will focus their attention on me.

You too? How do you deal with it?

As much as I'd like to, I can't say that it was bravery

I'm also extremely self-centered, cocky, secretive, jealous, have a know-it-all attitude, possessive, and I stick my nose into other people's business waaaay too much because I think I know enough to interfere.

I will analyse every angle, possibility and theory.. which brings me to 3) I am a floozy - anything new and shiny takes my fancy, the obsession is stone dead

I guess I've got the staying power, I just need to direct it in more constructive ways

Me too!

I am a bit (hah) of an attention ***** , but toning that down is what I am working on atm. At least, I am already catching me way earlier when I am doing it

Also, I am too lazy and disorganized and a packrat to boot. But it is getting easier to say "I don't need this" or "This is the place for item X"

i know better now.

now i think my weakness is… i try to give when i don't have enough for myself. a few people really took advantage of me and i got into trouble. nasty and vulgar, those shameless people. i must stop that. it's kind of an extension of my inability to love myself though, because i feel that i am not lovable if i don't give. but i'm changing. i must learn to accept, too, to be a good giver.
