Yes.

I prefer not to be in love. It's too painful.

I seem prone to hurting those who love me. It's a psychological problem.

My long-term relationship or marriage has ended in complete disaster.

2. Do you enjoy life?

Yes, most of the time.

I have been blue for a very long time.

I feel hostility about life. I alienate my friends and family.

I often believe in nothing.

3. What kind of person are you developing into?

A regretful, stressed-out creature.

The verdict is still out. Life's a challenge. I am dealing with it.

Someone who is disturbed, uncertain, afraid.

A criminal. A drug-dealer. A thief.

4. Do you feel that love (of family, friends, or mate) has helped you?

It has hindered.

No one loves unselfishly. There's always a motive. So with that disclaimer...yeah, maybe.

Sure it has helped!

Love has too many shackles.

5. Are you able to love with passion? ...And with intimacy?

Yes, I am. Or at least have the potential.

Sexual passion, yes. Intimacy is too long a word.

I feel conflicted. Even if the person is good. Even if we're married. I feel...constrained.

No, I am not.

6. Have I learned anything from life, anything to help me?

Yes...to be Number One. To get my own way. To out-flank my competitors.

Nothing of true value, no.

I have learned about some of my weaknesses...some of my strengths. That can be useful.

I have learned only failure.

7. Do you still have dreams?

Only at night.

No...I have given up my dreams.

Dreams belong to the idealistic...the immature.

I still have dreams.

8. Are you proud of your accomplishments?

Sure, at least some of the time.

I am disgusted by them.

I feel like a total loser.

How can I be proud of them, when they've gone unrecognized?
