derailer extraordinaire!
Being outliers i would assume that most, if not all, of us have some sort of emotional baggage; So here's a thread to air it out and share it with others.
My baggage:
Emotional Intimacy Issues- this one is pretty new. up until a few years ago i would easily make friends and fell in love probably every other week (although i blame that on being a Pisces). Lately i've realized that i subtly, and sometimes overtly, resist any kind of close relationships with anyone. Romantically i keep myself aloof and as soon as i do find myself flirting i immediately curtail it. in social situations i avoid any sort of activities that might result in bonding with potential friends and reject pretty much all invitations to anything. With my family i keep them all at arms length and make excuses to avoid any unnecessary interactions.
Messiah Complex- My ego demands that i "come to the rescue" of people in need, usually women. i have to really restrain myself sometimes from jumping in and trying to save people. in fact i find that women that i'm not even remotely attracted to suddenly seem far more attractive when they reveal some sort of failing that i imagine i could help... and i then shove it all away as soon as i realize it.
i'm sure there's more and i'll get to posting it =)
