AJ Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Just like most people, the person I am is the culmination of my parent's personalities and efforts. Before marrying my Dad, my Mum was a counsellor for zookeepers who felt distraught that they had lost connection with the animals under their care. My Dad was just mean. He would give me and my brother 5 dollars each two days before Christmas, sneak into our rooms on the night of Christmas Eve and steal it, then would beat us on Christmas Day for losing it. So, that explains why I am mixed up. I don't know if I am a kind person who thinks he is a mean person pretending to be kind, or a mean person who thinks he is a kind person pretending to be mean. I have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted November 24, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) This thread is why I love VT. A lifelong numpty starts a thread with a post which has some soul-searching depth and introspection. The responses are a mixture of ridiculing the OP, ridiculing other members of VT, self-ridicule and a smattering of more genuinely honest responses (not that I’m saying the ridicule wasn’t genuine). I think for me, my main character trait would be that of indecision. I think. Or maybe not. I’m mid-40s (more like late-40s but I’m in denial) and I’ve already had a way more successful life than The 20 year old me would have expected. I overthink everything though. Some days I breeze through work and other times I’m convinced that today is the day I get found out for being a fraud who is incapable of doing my job. Some days I think I’m so lucky to have a great partner then other days I think I don’t deserve her then others still I think she doesn’t deserve me. These are just a couple of easy examples but I do wonder how so many people around me are so certain of their world and their place in it. I’d have expected to have things worked out by now, if not completely, at least a little better than this.
