grim23OK. It has been pointed out that my journal has become, "that place where [I] go to convalesce by having the majority of your posting community fawn all over [me], tend to [my] wounds, stroke [my] ego and tell [me] what [I] want to hear"... but, as my broccoli friends point out, what would be the fun in that?
Right now, I'm about learning, especially about the not-so-pleasant aspects of me. I need to learn about how to interact with others better and deal with how people really think and feel about me. Honesty, not fawning. Community forum. No filters.
I've just posted a snapshot personality test, and my astrology chart, giving ample suggestions for ways I do and do not work within the Universe, not to discount your own experiences. Apparently there are those who do not feel comfortable in other forums, so...here it is. Fire away, both barrels. I will not judge you, or even reply, other than to say thank you for the input, unless you request it. I will consider everything that's written, and try to incorporate it into my future Life.
Thank you for your time.

You Asked
Date: 2005-04-25 02:34 pm (UTC)I scanned through most of this thread and your horoscope and personality test.
This is a pretty weighty request you’ve made and frankly I’m more than a little surprised that you would make it.
Honestly, I don’t have a lot of personal experience with you to make huge conclusions about how you can improve as an individual relating to others. But I think the statement in and of it’s self says a lot, that I don’t have many personal experiences with you. I can relate to many of the statements that the anonymous poster made regarding to how you handle relationships and how you wield chaos as a buffer or rationale to protect yourself or pull away from any who would desire to get close to you but for some reason you choose not to reciprocate. Reading your journal and having the little contact I do have with you I feel like you like the chaos and revel in it when your words might be saying otherwise.
I am a numbers person and not a verbal person so I will keep my response short and if you desire further clarification I’ll be more than happen to expand if you reach out to me. But, again, that is the rub isn’t it? Having the desire or energy to reach out for that personal contact, I have to say I’m a little surprised you scored as high as you did on the extroverted end. The picture of you in my mind tended to reflect someone more like myself, in large familiar gatherings being extroverted and social but largely, for whatever purposes one wishes to attach, but in more personal one and one relations being more reserved and introverted. It’s easy to dawn the image of what people want to see in a large gathering but that’s vastly different than pushing yourself out there for people to see. But then again, this could just be me reflecting myself into my image of you as an explanation for the “lack of personal experiences”.
