I have plenty of male friends who don't idolize their mothers. I have 2 male gay friends who definitely do, or at least are what I would call unusually codependent on their mothers given that they are adults. Or they swing from overdependence to resentment of their mum's controlling...

flower, Seriously you never blush?! WOW! My first time was at school I was about 10 and we had a special assembly because someone had stolen something. I blushed the whole time (even though I wasn't the thief lol) and have never looked back. It seemed to coincide with puberty, maybe it's my...

kotachi Since you say you are stressed out being poor I would apply for a marketing job you could enjoy for 1 year which would relieve financial pressure and give you breathing space. If you hate it after that go back to college full time. If not stay & do art at evening class. Is your...

It might be that you need to have an ultimate career goal in 2 or 3 jobs' time ie you need some stepping stones to get there. If you are good at marketing consider finding charity work or marketing for an institution that you really believe in. Or apply to newspapers/book publishers so you are...

Does anyone else blush spontaneously when in awkward situations or when talking to certain people? I've spent my whole adult life trying to ignore/overcome it but it's reeeeally annoying & I can't control it.

This is a really interesting thread. I go through lonely phases but think it's because if I'm honest I don't want to let people close to me if they won't respect my boundaries & emotional limitations. I'm really sensitive to rejection. So I tend to keep everyone at arm's length but then get...

What is the best website to find out your enneagram thingy? Or can anyone recommend a book about it that I can buy from Amazon? How does that evaluation differ from MBTI? Is it worth doing or not really? Pardon my ignorance, I'm new to this.
