So it’s slim pickin’s for me! I also can’t read interest signals from the opposite sex unless they’re really blatant, and I don’t experience the “in love” high as much as a general sense of contentment.

I propose that maybe the true narcissists are the love junkies. Some of the most “romantic” men I’ve dated have also been the most self-absorbed, one to the point of full-on clinical Narcissistic Personality Disorder. They love the feeling of being in love because it’s such a high to be desired, admired, even idolized by someone else. Those of us who don’t need someone else to fall at our feet are, I think, the opposite of narcissistic.

I totally told my friend the same thing….i don’t feel the need or desperation to be coupled. I like to check people out occasionaly, but I also hardly realise when someone is into me until its all too obvious. (I totally suck in the ‘hints’ department)

I guess we’re all just happy with ourselves…and the real issue is not with that but with constantly having to EXPLAIN why we’re happy and why we’re also normal :P

I mean that’s what the trigger of this post was about….

I totally like what you said about biochem…one thing I cannot understand about myself is this desire to toally skip the wife part and go straight into the mom part. I mean I don’t want to be a single mom, or have illegitimate children (I would not survive in my counry if that happened…) but the idea of being a wife really puts me off. I keep telling my friends that I will onyl mary to have kids..and Mr. Right would be someone who is as keen on becoming a parent as I am – I wouldn’t care much if he did not have the time for me.

No worries at all! As far as I’m concerned, if you (and the other readers here) are honest and sincere, I for one will never feel dissed :)

I happen to agree with what you said and just might blog about “Communication” or lack of, between men and woman.
