hello, ada darling! :-)
ada, after reading your test results, i'm not sure what to add that i haven't already said in past threads to you on this and other forums. but, actually, i think perhaps the most important thing for you is to learn how to rely on yourself for your happiness, instead of others. this is a hard lesson to learn..you must find something you enjoy besides people, or at least something to preoccupy yourself..do you like reading? there are many book suggestions on this site...or how about sewing or quilting? or gardening? nature? sports? cooking? (i could go on..:)) i think engaging in something will be a good first step for you. no one else is ever going to completely satisfy your needs..when you accept this, you are on the road to a more fulfilling life. it may take some time, but with an open mind and a positive attitude i think you can and will find your niche. also, are you taking any meds or going to therapy? perhaps you would benefit from meds..could you give some info as to whether you experience anxiety, depression, etc?amy :)
p.s. also, i don't know if you have an alcohol problem or not, but it would be best to limit your alcohol intake. this interferes with your mood and your self-knowledge, two thing you really need right now to help conquer your problems. if drinking is basically a non-issue for you, please ignore this paragraph. :) (i'm just trying to cover as many bases as i can..)
