'Winning my 12 year long battle with Anorexia and Bulimia and being able to do this without medication or hospitalization. While maintaining an overall healthy mindset is a continuing struggle,...|||This has nothing to do with you, Hun :) It's more to do with me feeling guilty about starting a bit of a war here.

I partly wish that I never started this stupid thread, I was hoping that it had become a dead topic but the fact that it's still going a year and a half later shows that this issue is as...|||Christ, that has happened to me way too many times :/ Thanks for your post!|||I relate to all of this so much. Thank you :)|||That describes it pretty well. :)|||Awkward social situations are one of the main things I put myself down for. It sucks soooo much!

I guess...|||*Gets nervous* Oh, Lord... But I thank you for your effort :)|||Hi. I'll try to keep this nice and brief but I want to give as much detail as I can.

I kind of gave up on Enneagram because I was given different results every time I took the test; type 6, then 9, then 4. I got frustrated. Perhaps I'll try the test again when...|||Huh, interesting.
