Just to clarify.I was not being actually serious with my comment to Cappy.
We talk outside of LL and I sometimes make seemingly cold-ish remarks that aren't intended to be taken seriously (which isn't always obvious on online communities).
Also, I am aware of the fact that the OP in my other thread should have been more clear. It was 4 am and I was tired when I posted it, for my defense.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
I have the answers I needed.

I can understand that, I tend to regret posting in the wee hours myself because I'm so unclear (and ramble worse than usual).  Glad you got what you wanted. And I'm glad you were just giving some lighthearted teasing to ISC rather than being mean (tip: a winkie face can help "lighten the tone" a lot, though I sometimes forget to add those, too).

I am glad you understand.
Really not into conflicts, myself.

I am glad you shared, Doux. I really wanted to share some things, too, but I still feel afraid so applaud you for doing it.------------------

I don't think I've ever seen you be mean. I don't know what I missed, but I can't imagine it.

Cappy dearI was not referring to you on the other thread. I knew you and Doux were just fooling around. ------------------

Back to the test. I took it twice with very different results. I think the test was too black and white. Usually, these tests allow several degrees within each question.
I think you can learn a lot from these tests though, a very lot.------------------

I can comment about the test a little in that I think my results were accurate (if boring).A few years ago when I had to go through an expensive, long and horrible custody battle for my son, we had to go through a child custody evaluation by a specialist. Part of that involved very long in-depth psychological testing over the course of a couple days and different tests. The results to that came back the same as they did for this test. IP: Logged |

I think the test can show us where we are off. It is easy to think one's reality is universal. In fact, we do. It comes as a shock when we realize we have been seeking things in a skewed way. In this way, taking the tests helps me. That is my 2 cents.------------------

Regarding you test thread: I have done many of these tests and have scored very high/high on Schizoid and Schizotypal for years. I think I made a post about this a long while back that I felt my mind slipping? Anyhow, I had finally manned up and called a shrink the other day, well 1 month ago, and bailed on appointment April 16. I am just not ready to hear something I am falrly certain to be true. If ever you have questions or just want to talk I exist! IP: Logged |

Thank you, Ami, Charlie.
I don't need a test to know what's wrong with me... I guess I was looking for some validation for something that's already there.
Charlie,
I would like to talk to you in private. <> OMG there's a super hailstorm out there! Woooow. Crazy stuff... It's really intense! Started randomly and won't stop, damn. IP: Logged |

I have a Masters degree in counseling. I have many other hats too but my feeling about these PDs are that the root of them is shame. Shame tells us that we are different and so we hide. Then, our feeling of being different gets worse.
We are only as sick as the secrets we keep. That is why I try to be very honest about myself. I don't do it perfectly but I know that therein lies our healing.
This is confirmed to me more now that I am doing counseling again as a counselor.
I stopped because I did not feel it was helping, I did not agree with the current ways of doing counseling. I felt it was canned.
Now that I have the charts, I feel people are really getting helped cuz the charts are the blueprint for each person so the counselor as an individual map for each client.
However, my point was about shame. I think shame is at the root of most of what we suffer in emotional and mental issues.------------------

I Bookmarked that test. I took it a few times with very different results. I think it is kind of a poor test because there are no gradations. For example, the question about wanting approval. We all do and so if you answer it in the affirmative, they put you as dependent.However, that is not my point. My point is that one can see where one veers from "normal" but it is not really normal as much as healthy. I can see how I am too dependent and I feel helpless, a lot. I need approval too much. I avoid social situations, if I can. This is not good for me because these situations really help one to see that one is not alone with this crazy way of thinking and one thinks one is. I am looking at this test a few times a day to try to moderate myself to the middle. Maybe, I am the only crazy one here, but I kind of doubt it  ------------------

Shame is so oppressive. One has to share one's secrets to realize one is really not alone and weird. Even all those categories are just the extreme ends of normal like everyone feels they are different. Everyone wants approval. Those categories are just a more extreme version of "normal", fueled by shame in all cases, I think.
However, for me, knowing that God makes no mistakes helps me to accept myself with all my many flaws.

Hahaha...yeah, I'm pretty sure you're not the only one.  That's my whole thing about "finding people who are your type of crazy". I find people like that in life, who are down to earth, have been through some hardships of their own in some way, aren't perfect, but aren't completely impossible to be around, either. I was having a conversation with my friend the other day (one of the few people I enjoy being around, and my son loves playing with her kids, even though they're not the same age).
It was nice to be reminded that other people aren't so emotionally healthy that they walk around with halos, haha. We both live pretty normal lives, but no one is one hundred percent "normal". That's just the way it is. Everyone has baggage.
It's just how we go about sorting through it and dealing with it that's important.

I bookmarked that test. It has really helped me to clarify things about my personality like being too dependent. I have taken it a few times and really tried to be honest and think I got an honest answer.
