How can I gain your approval today?

I completely got it, growing up in dysfunction myself. Sorry to hear about your alcoholic father, that sucks. It sounds like you have come to terms with it.

The hard part is accepting the cards life deals you. If you do that, you learn from the experiences you've had and have a meaningful life. If you don't, your life is like a broken record.

Everyone has a cross to bear, even those who appear to have everything.

 So beautifully written!  

Who knew you were the offspring of a Hallmark card . . . after being raped by Dr. Phil?

I was in a psyche institute at 15. Phil would have been a ray of sunlight in that dump.

The old parents think I'm retarded and let's get him some help trick? They put me in one too, fucking idiots. They belonged in a goddamn psyche ward.

The crazy bitch that ran the place held NA meetings there and made all the kids attend. So a bunch of old crack heads are talking about how they hit rock bottom and ask if I'd like to say anything. Yeah not really, I'm 14 fucking years old. I don't know what rock bottom is, but according to you fuctards I'm heading there.

Her name was Shelba and she was 100 percent Nurse Ratched. She wouldn't let us out of our rooms until we wrote an essay about an experience we had with a higher power. I have not had an experience with a higher power till this day so I had to just make some shit up.

Holy fuck

Sounds like a rehab. Meetings are helpful if you want to get clean, worthless if you don't. They're in it for the money. The place I was billed $250 per day 46 years ago. The staff we interacted with daily had no special training, and some of them were as fucked up as the patients.

Just caught up with this. Unfortunately you are all only seeing a small picture of yourselves, its much bigger. Rothschild says its about the cards you are dealtt in regards to external stuff, family, etc, but its much more than that.

Recent research has shown that memories from previous lives can be expressed here and now.

To use Mirahs example, that she gives and others take, classic stuff, its not about failings on her part at all, its about your default setting.

There are default settings on my car, it cant function beyond its capacity can it? Mirahs default setting is that she gives, her love of other people kicks in at some point and she forgets herself, and when its not reciprocated she has a problem. She loves her cat unconditionally.

So where does that come from, ? its her genes, uncountable previous lifetimes where she has learnt to love so much its become part of her, and is automatic. If she was a car she would have been built in Dresden or wherever. My partners daughter lives in the moment, thinking about consequences and the future does not exist.

I dont function on logic, numbers, facts or anything concrete, i lead my life on feeling, on how it makes me feel. My type teeters on psychosis, living in our heads more than the outside world. Tiki got it right when he said i need a feeling room.

My partner lives concretely, she senses, abstract stuff is not understood in any way, and because i understand that no problem exists. Mirah would not get frustrated if she understood her self and others. Some cannot reciprocate, choose not to, or in the best way they can which can go unnoticed because its so shallow. The depth of her feeling can only be matched by someone like her.

Think of it like this, that in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. And your opened eye is the Myers briggs site, Carl Jung who developed it did something amazing, he described our inner functions.

Its helped me a lot because my type only begins to bloom in advanced years, we grow younger, not older, you dont want to know what were like young. It is complex stuff but well worth the time you invest in studying and understanding it. Think how you can short circuit all that pain and frustration you feel over others behaviour.

Think of it like this, they cant help it. And you will be one up because you get it, and wont be drained by rage, anger and depression because of who they are. And because we are so different problems are bound to exist.

My partners daughter is an ESTP, look that up on you tube, ESTP in ten minutes etc, it describes them in how they live their lives, and its got my partners daughter off to a tee, and in great detail.

If you can identify your own type you too can have insight into yourself and begin managing yourself much better. And your relatives, understanding your self, like i understand my cars acceleration rate, boot capacity, etc CAN ONLY BE A GOOD THING. Your type will be on Youtube.

And existetial suffering can be minimised.

I am ENFP

[Piglet]

Wow, ive never met one of those. Cyndie Lauper is one, as is Andy Kaufman. I think you are 14 per cent of the population. If my memory serves, you wake up every morning thinking about the possibilities of the day, not the problems, and you are an extrovert. You will wring out the good things in life regardless.

Lauper and Kaufman were rampant extroverts, enjoying life to the full, Kaufman was seriously off the scale, having to be the centre of attention, like Lauper, but not in an ego way. Like my partners daughter, extroverts get energy from being social, being alone denudes their energies.

Is that you Mirah? I am an introvert, my energies are quickly spent, about an hour, then i recharge by being alone, but in that hour you would think im an extrovert. I will look up enfp to see if ive got it right. Have you you tubed your type?

[sally]

That's great, Mirah has the personality of the two most annoying motherfuckers on the planet. Andy Kaufman probably came from another planet.

[MirahM]

I don't think it is that unique.
Lol @ Sally
I am an extrovert, I don't mind doing stuff alone, I prefer hanging w/ people, but would rather be alone if they are annoying or rude people.
I haven't looked at any videos about personality types just reading.

Have you ever done an enneagram test?
