There are various reasons - both biological and emotional - why we might be more prone to tears at times. It depends too on what form it takes for you as to whether you consider it a problem. I rarely have what's known as a good cry but I well up at least once on most days. It is always in...

I have been through this myself. I feel for you - it hurts. Unfortunately I have to agree that this person is not being respectful of your feelings and boundaries which makes them a poor bet for a relationship of any kind, whether friendship or otherwise. The problem is in healing your own...

Hello Peace Seeker - yes I'm from Melbourne but was it my name that made you wonder that? =)

I'm happy for extroverts to be extroverted and enjoy their extroversion. That's fine. But yeah I do need my space and a bit of p and q and I don't mind telling you so. That doesn't mean I want to sit in a corner all the time and not associate with anyone. The main difference between...

A couple of observations I've got about the enneagram (and I have to say that I share some of the misgivings expressed by another poster here that it is a bit too much like astrology in some regards) ... The reason it is seen as a circle with links between types is that the enneagram is to be...

I spent a long time single and I can tell you it is no fun being the third wheel. Plus it means you occasionally get set up which is also unpleasant. Perhaps she feels she's being invited along out of pity - who knows? I'm not saying that is your intention but it might be how she perceives...

No you are not alone. I read and research all kinds of stuff. Can't help myself and have always been this way. I think if I'd been any good at mathematics, I would have tried to get into medical research, surgery or forensics.

Bickelz, I don't think Galileo was saying that it is okay for people to claim they are in the majority and use it as a blunt instrument (Galileo excuse me for butting in). I'm from the same part of the world and we hear a lot about US political life ... it has a very big impact on us and how...

Oh my ... bad taste indeed. I don't know if it's criminal but it is nasty and the guy needs to grow up. Australia has a very open attitude about sexuality in many ways but there is a lot of sexism here and it is very overt. We are an egalitarian society supposedly but the same outdated...

Oh, that's horrid. I'm sorry things didn't work out for you guys. We have something in common ... the spouse and I met that way too (1998) and nobody was doing it in those days so it used to raise some eyebrows. Funny how things have changed. There've been issues in our marriage too and...

I was like hmm, this is the opposite of what I'm trying to do. Imo the creatorors of the questionaire have a strong tendency to make judgements and define labels on very little information and generalizations. Quit judging me. Noooo. I talk to myself to my imaginery friends. Does that make...

Sali, you might have missed the bit where I mentioned the awful film was "Wolf Creek". It was based on some actual events that happened here where people were abducted and killed horribly. When the guy was caught and put on trial, we all heard what had happened and I think most of us were...

Jill I've heard that film was sad. The kids want to see it but I've been holding off as it might be too much even for me!

The last scene in Titanic as the camera pans over a sleeping or deceased Rose with photographs of her life, then through the wreck which suddenly comes alive with everyone who perished in the sinking. Can never get through it without tissues. I cried a lot watching that film for the first time...

Interesting too how many of us said that we don't trust the government with social issues. That was the only box I ticked!
