Digging For The Why

I’m intensely interested in the psychology of personality. I want to know why I act the way I do and why my mind conjures up certain things because maybe if I know why, then I’ll be able to better direct my life. Yeah.

This week’s confession is that oftentimes I feel very alone, even though I have friends and great co-workers. I feel like a social chameleon, changing my personality depending on who I’m talking to and why. This is something I’ve noticed more and more as I’ve gotten older. I guess it’s a defense mechanism maybe? In any case, when I first took the Myers-Briggs test, my result was INFJ and after reading the profile, it explains a lot of my idiosyncrasies but it still doesn’t tell me how to cure that persistent loneliness.
