1 > 2 > 1 > 3 > 2 = 9 = Extremely dissatisfied.

I'm right there with you, Berbs.

Working on it myself. Think I'll feel better about myself once I get back to university and get that damn degree I've been meaning to get for the past 10 years. Life just kept getting in the way, though.

I think what I'm most satisfied with in my life is the amount of travelling I have done and the adventures I've had so far. I'm quite unusual for an American in that respect.

I'm 13 - dissatisfied. I actually thought I would score more.

It's ok, I'm working on the things I want to fix to reach my 'ideal' life.

Berbs and Nour, we will all get there!

Dont you feel that even the bad experiences you had in your life helped to make you who you are? You might be a totally different person, no?

I don't see that as a bad thing.

I've always had this sort of humour, these sort of interests, been empathic with people etc etc. All the parts I value of me mostly I have always had. Maybe I have better insight, but in order to gain that insight I have to become partly a person I'm not all that pleased with.

I have issues man, so I'm not sure that old idiom of pain being useful because it makes you who you are, doesn't bring me comfort.

The bad experiences helped shape me into a person who doesn't trust anyone, has no confidence in herself, and keeps everyone at arms length, or runs if they slip through the net.

Not really a good trade.

I know that bad experiences cause these sort of side effects but dont you think they impacted on you in a more positive way? Because you say that it gave you trust issues among other things but you seem really strong minded, someone who sticks to what they believe. Dont you think that would have made a difference to you? The self confidence thing Im sure you will work out. You're too fun to be neglected in any case whether you're confident to approach someone or not.

I reckon you will overcome those problems soon because you seem to be moving on with your life now, in a way that you didn't feel you were before. So change seems to be the thing in Berbs' life so I think Berbs' mindset might change too.

Yeah, I agree, things are changing in parts of my life and I am loving it. (just the one hug, promise no more lol )

I hope I get past these things, I believe I can.

I know you can do it dude, you're a real warrior, you got heart. It seems like you've got confidence in what you believe anyway so it must only be a matter of time till you transfer that to yourself. People change with time, innit son.

Yoooo can do it. I stopped calling some girls slags because of you.....cant do it no more.

Oh and Berbs, if you even try to hug me I will kick you so hard in the stomach you will puke and piss blood for 2 weeks.
Its called a teep and my instructor says mine is quite good.

Cyber high five is still a bit wierd, how about a manly handshake? Like a man.....who wont cry during a film or after it?

Haha, Berbs...you know me. I never change. Never ever. Im still violent and I still have "bare hate" towards womankind.
But on the other hand, my friend said I changed a tiny bit over this year, but what does she know hey. Women

If you dont wanna puke blood then I could just break your jaw...it will be less messy.

I am extremely dissatisfied with my life. I think work is the only thing that keeps me sane really.

I got slightly dissatisfied. I can't really choose anything apart from agree for the last option as there is nothing in my life that I can actually which I would like to change. It would be nice to not be born to a Muslim family but that isn't my choice. Meh.

hugs to all of those who are dissatisfied -- I've been there. A few years ago my psychologist made me take something similar except more questions and stuff and I scored incredibly low. Though now for the most part I think I'd be in at least the satisfied range.

Please let me know if there is any way I can help any of you get to a place where you feel higher up on this scale. I don't know if I can be of help but I'll do whatever I can
