Books
Richard Dawkins...any book on atheism and how life is purposeful without believing in god...these books simply validate my feelings on life.
Victor Frankl's "Man's search for meaning".
Used to enjoy Stephen King but don't read much anymore....
I love the fact that I can accept myself with all my faults.
I have a wonderful son 16yrs of age...2 cats, and relatively supportive family. Being housebound my friends are all internet friends.
My disability stops me from working and socialising actively....but I enjoy creating artworks, forumming, being with my cats, and drinking :)
I feel I have accepted life the way it is...and am comfortable with my life.
Likes
I like nice people, simple, people who have consideration and empathy with others. I like being a nice person and enjoy contributing to anothers happiness.
I like (love) cats! I find that they have a wonderful soothing energy and they bring me so much joy. I like that I can make their life comfortable.
I like my son. He is a nice person, and fun to be around. He is very understanding and wise for his age.
I do not like bigots or people that say "pull your socks up" etc. These people show no understanding or caring for another. I do not waste my time with them, unless they show signs of wanting to change.
I do not like powerful people who have no empathy and simply function on their own greed. They have no vision.
Your Social Anxiety Level: 76%
You have high social anxiety.
You have a pretty serious social phobia, and it effects your life more than you may realize.
It's possible that you've made yourself comfortable by avoiding situations you dread.
But don't be fooled - you still probably need professional help.
Love drawing and painting. Have recently started teaching myself painting in oils. Love documentaries on the masters of painting (so inspiring) and currently am being inspired by "Rolf Harris's Celebrity Portraits".
Documentaries on science,philosophy,art and social issues.
I went to see my son in his play tonight, it was called "Dry Rot" and he was so wonderful I was filled with tears of pride. I have been going out a lot lately. Things I have been asked to do by my family. I have even been for a flight in a light aircraft to support my nephew who is learning to be a pilot. To do these things I have relied upon alcohol and prescription medication. I am a mess physically and mentally at the moment. I have once again developed a health problem caused by prescription medication and decided I can no longer say yes to people because of my health. Funny I have done well as in going out and being sociable, yet feel more unwell and depressed than in a very long time. sorry if i haven't been here for my new friends....
