My father was a alcoholic and never there, my mother a paranoid schizo and died in her 50's, I was possibly sexually abused and disowned by mother when a child yet I twist things positive, possibly delusional. What makes one person take a certain turn vs. another? I could be a horrible person and worthless yet I made something of nothing. Life is so weird.

How do you diagnose your life?


I tend to be an optimistic realist. This can (at times) be misconstrued as being an arrogant dreamer. It all depends on the person (personality) you're asking.
Your one and only resident Schizoid (in most places).
