Comment by stellifery on February 15, 2013 at 10:46am: Thank you very much Steph!

Although I do enjoy socialising, I have throughout my life found that nothing beats time on my own to think, reflect and relax. I always thought that made me a bit weird, and part of the reason I went through depression was due to guilt for wanting to be alone. I read a useful quote that said something along the lines of "Life is all about balance - between working and playing; between spending time with others and spending time alone". It's good to be an introvert - to have enough confidence in yourself to be completely happy with nothing but your own company.

Monologue over! :)

Thanks for the lovely comment Joan. And yes, we are loving and accepting and enjoy all the different personalities.

Comment by Steph S. on February 3, 2013 at 9:50am: Lonna welcome to the group!

Comment by Joan Denoo on January 9, 2013 at 6:20pm: Ashley, my classmates all laughed when they saw my score because it fit me so well. Even the men in the class said I thought more like a man than a woman. I don't know if there is a correlation there, but I do like to get at the core of problems and stop moving chairs on the deck of the Titanic.

You will find this a very loving and accepting group, even as we have different personalities. They seem to forgive when I get overbearing.
