49 for me. I was unsure about number 58 as I can sometimes, without wanting to, recall memories from my past from as young as 4 but I can’t really say that’s compartmentalising.
it’s a very interesting and affirming list of examples. I’ve imitated people so much now that I don’t really have my own identity anymore because I was always embarrassed about being me. I now am starting to not mask and letting people see the true me. Some examples almost brought a tear to my eye as well.
Have to say I detest popular culture, the way woman look with their lips done and huge black eyebrows. I know it’s personal preference but it just looks ridiculous to me, thankfully I’m gay so I don’t have to worry but if I were young and straight in this day and age of vanity, I would probably turn to homosexuality.
I also dislike materialistic attitudes and those people who go on about winning the lottery just grinds my gears. I said to someone once that if they won, would they help people, they said yes, I asked again would you(?). They came out and said I’d help my family. Sure I’d do the same in a similar predicament but I’d be setting up housing for homeless, as much mental health stations as possible and anyone who really needed the help I would help. I’ve helped someone in the past because they had kids and dogs, they also had emotional problems too and didn’t have a job, their kids were starving so with what little money I had I sent it to them. Whether or not it was a lie I didn’t care. Someone asked for help and I gave it. I would do the same for anyone if I could.
